"A good woman, Miss Blakiston, and a sacrifice to an unworthy family." Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust. And that morning I began to suspect Miss Emily. I had no idea of what. On my mentioning an errand in the village she promptly offered to take me with her in the Staley hack. She had completely altered in manner. The strain was gone.
I faced the agent downstairs in the parlor, after I had gone over the house. Miss Emily Benton had not appeared and I took it she was away. "Why all those bathrooms?" I demanded. "Does she use them in rotation?" He shrugged his shoulders. "She wished to rent the house, Miss Blakiston. The old-fashioned plumbing " "But she is giving the house away," I exclaimed.
Or and I think this was the feeling I had that some other control was in charge. Not the Agnes Blakiston I knew, but another Agnes Blakiston, perhaps, was exerting a temporary dominance, a hectic, craven, and hateful control. That is the only outburst I recall. Possibly Maggie may have others stored away. She has a tenacious memory. Certainly it was my nearest approach to violence.

I had gathered, from the first, the impression that the members of the Reverend Samuel Thaddeus Benton's congregation did not fancy an interloper among the sacred relics of the historian of Bolivar County. And I had a corroboration of that impression from my visitor of that afternoon, a Mrs. Graves. "I've been slow in coming, Miss Blakiston," she said, seating herself primly.
While Captain Palliser prefers the 'Kananaskakis, Captain Blakiston and Governor Douglas, the 'Kootanie, and Dr. Hector the 'Vermilion' Pass, all agree that each is perfectly practicable, if not easy, and that even better openings may probably yet be found as exploration progresses.
"I understand he was a great care." Mrs. Graves looked about the room, its shelves piled high with the ecclesiastical library of the late clergyman. "It was not only that," she said. "When he was all right, he was an atheist. Imagine, in this house! He had the most terrible books, Miss Blakiston. And, of course, when a man believes there is no hereafter, he is apt to lead a wicked life.
To my surprise it was Miss Emily herself, a quiet and very dignified voice which apologized for disturbing me at that hour, and went on: "I feel that I was very abrupt this afternoon, Miss Blakiston. My excuse is that I have always feared change. I have lived in a rut too long, I'm afraid.
