When they came out the tears were falling fast beneath Miss Whichello's veil. 'Is that the man? asked Tinkler, in a low voice. 'Yes! replied Miss Whichello; 'that is the man I knew as Amaru. The strange affair of Jentham's murder continued to occupy the attention of the Beorminster public throughout the week; and on the day when the inquest was held, popular excitement rose to fever heat.

"My love she is in Germanee," as the old song says. I wish to speak with you. 'All right. Where shall we go? 'To the club. I must see you privately. The Beorminster Club was just a short distance down the street, so George followed Harry into its hospitable portals and finally accepted a comfortable chair in the smoking-room, which, luckily for the purpose of Brace, was empty at that hour.

He was ignorant that his brother loved Bell Mosk, as neither Baltic nor the bishop had so far enlightened him, else he might not have been quite so indifferent to the impending trial of the wretched criminal. As it was, the hot excitement prevalent in Beorminster left him cold, and both he and Mab might have been dwellers in the moon for all the interest they displayed in the topic of the day.

Nearly all the invitations had been accepted; firstly, because Mrs Pansey made things unpleasant afterwards for such defiant spirits as stayed away; secondly, for the very attractive reason that the meat and drink provided by the hostess were of the best. Thus Mrs Pansey's entertainments were usually the most successful of the Beorminster season.

Baltic's descriptions of his South Sea labours fascinated Dr Pendle by their colour and wildness, and he suggested that the missionary should deliver a discourse of the same quality to the public. A hall was hired; the lecture was advertised as being under the patronage of the bishop, and so many tickets were sold that the building was crowded with the best Beorminster society, led by Mrs Pansey.

'I have been most things in my time, observed the stranger, gloomily, 'but not a parson. You are one, I perceive. Cargrim bowed. 'I am the chaplain of Bishop Pendle. 'And the busybody of Beorminster, I should say, rejoined the man with a sneer. 'See here, my friend, and he rapped Cargrim on the breast with a shapely hand, 'if you interfere in what does not concern you, there will be trouble.

'I have averted the danger for the time being, he said sadly, 'but the future ah, me! what of the future? About this time there appeared in Beorminster an elderly, weather-beaten man, with a persuasive tongue and the quick, alert eye of a fowl.

'I must find the man with the scar, he thought, 'and then who knows. As its name denotes, Beorminster was built on a hill, or, to speak more precisely, on an eminence elevated slightly above the surrounding plain.

The poor lady adopted this as a kind of disguise, forgetting that her old-fashioned poke bonnet and quaint silk cloak were as well known to the inhabitants of Beorminster as the cathedral itself.

'But, George' Mab laid her head on his breast 'I am not sure if I ought to accept it, really. Your father does not know of our engagement. 'I intend to tell him when I next visit Beorminster, my love. Indeed, but that he takes this wretched murder so much to heart I would have told him to-day.
