The part of Scotland to which Shaw's description applies is what he calls the province or country of Murray, extending from the river Spey on the east to the river Beauly on the west, and south-west to Loch Lochy. Rev. A. Goodrich-Freer, "More Folklore from the Hebrides," Folk-lore, xiii. p. 41. The St.
Beauly had been a witness of the public degradation of him. That was enough to prevent his marrying Mrs. Beauly. He broke off with her at once and forever for the same reason precisely which has led him to separate himself from you. Existence with a woman who knew that he had been tried for his life as a murderer was an existence that he was not hero enough to face. You wanted the truth.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Nobody can hear us in this room." I sat down again, and recovered myself a little. "Have you never told any one else what you have just told me?" was the first question that I put to him. "Never. No one else suspected her." "Not even the lawyers?" "Not even the lawyers. There is no legal evidence against Mrs. Beauly. There is nothing but moral certainty."
But there was no further expression of that feeling when she had married another man, and when he had married another woman. From that time their intercourse was the innocent intercourse of a brother and sister. Mr. Macallan was a gentleman: he knew what was due to his wife and to Mrs. Beauly she would not have entered the house if experience had not satisfied her of that.
When the day of the dinner arrived, I felt restored to my customary health. I was ready again, and eager again, for the introduction to Lady Clarinda and the discovery of Mrs. Beauly. Benjamin looked a little sadly at my flushed face as we drove to Major Fitz-David's house. "Ah, my dear," he said, in his simple way, "I see you are well again! You have had enough of our quiet life already."
Beauly gave me my first chance of leading the talk to the right topic. "I see nothing in the idea," I answered. "I see no motive. Had the maid any reason to be an enemy to the late Mrs. Eustace?" "Nobody had any reason to be an enemy to the late Mrs. Eustace!" he broke out, loudly and vehemently. "She was all goodness, all kindness; she never injured any human creature in thought or deed.
She leaves the sick woman, recovered from her first attack of illness, and able to amuse herself with writing. The nurse remains away for half an hour, and then gets uneasy at not hearing the invalid's bell. She goes to the Morning-Room to consult Mr. Macallan, and there she hears that Mrs. Beauly is missing. Mr. Macallan doesn't know where she is, and asks Mr. Dexter if he has seen her. Mr.
Miserrimus Dexter, under cross-examination, had indirectly admitted that he had ideas of his own on the subject of Mrs. Eustace Macallan's death. At the same time he had spoken of Mrs. Beauly in a tone which plainly betrayed that he was no friend to that lady. Did he suspect her too?
His eyes recovered their wild light; his hands were steady again; his color was brighter than ever. Had he been pondering over the secret of my interest in Mrs. Beauly? and had he guessed? He had! "Answer on your word of honor!" he cried. "Don't attempt to deceive me! Is it a woman?" "It is." "What is the first letter of her name? Is it one of the first three letters of the alphabet?" "Yes."
My heart sinks in me again as it sank on that never-to-be-forgotten evening while I sit at my desk thinking of it. "So Dexter really spoke to you of Mrs. Beauly!" exclaimed Lady Clarinda. "You have no idea how you surprise me." "May I ask why?" "He hates her! The last time I saw him he wouldn't allow me to mention her name. It is one of his innumerable oddities.
