Was the whole structure of his dreams about to collapse, to fall about his ears? "By whom?" he faltered. "By Sir Timothy Brast, sir." Francis, who had been standing with his hand upon the table, felt suddenly inclined to laugh. Facile though his brain was, the change of issues was too tremendous for him to readily assimilate it.
Quite an inviting little affair, you see young lady's writing, faint but very delicate perfume, excellent stationery, Milan Court the home of adventures!" "DEAR SIR TIMOTHY BRAST: "Although I am not known to you personally, there is a certain matter concerning which information has come into my possession, which I should like to discuss with you. Will you call and see me as soon as possible?"
Then when King Arthur was on horseback, he looked upon Sir Launcelot, and then the tears brast out of his eyen, thinking on the great courtesy that was in Sir Launcelot more than in any other man; and therewith the king rode his way, and might no longer behold him, and said: Alas, that ever this war began.
I dare say he won't like me for a son-in-law," Francis continued with a smile. "I can't help that. He shouldn't have let me go out with you in a punt." There was a discreet knock at the door. Brooks made his apologetic and somewhat troubled entrance. "Sir Timothy Brast is here to see you, sir," he announced. "I ventured to say that you were not at home "
Then was Sir Launcelot wroth out of measure, and then he smote Sir Gahalantine on the helm that his nose brast out on blood, and ears and mouth both, and therewith his head hung low. And therewith his horse ran away with him, and he fell down to the earth.
You will remember speaking to me of Sir Timothy Brast?" "I remember quite well," Francis acknowledged. "I've nothing to go on," the other continued. "I am working almost on your own lines, Mr. Ledsam, groping in the dark to find a clue, as it were, but I'm beginning to have ideas about Sir Timothy Brast, just ideas." "As, for instance?"
"Are there really men who possess such things?" "I hope you will discover that for yourself some day," he answered. "Tell me your plans? Where are you living?" "For the present with my father in Curzon Street." "With Sir Timothy Brast?" She assented. "You know him?" she asked indifferently. "Very slightly," Francis replied. "We talked together, some nights ago, at Soto's Restaurant.
"Is Sir Timothy Brast your man?" Francis asked quietly. His companion frowned portentously. "No names," he begged. "Considering that it was I who first put you on to him," Francis expostulated, "I don't think you need be so sparing of your confidence." "Mr. Ledsam," the detective assured him, "I shall tell you everything that is possible. At the same time, I will be frank with you.
"Sir Timothy Brast to see you, sir," he announced. The moment was one of trial to every one, admirably borne. Shopland remained in his chair, with only a casual glance at the newcomer. Francis rose to his feet with a half-stifled expression of anger at the clumsiness of his clerk.
Both the Bishop and Sir Bedivere knew Sir Launcelot, and they spake together after mass. But when Sir Bedivere had told his tale all whole, Sir Launcelot's heart almost brast for sorrow, and Sir Launcelot threw his arms abroad, and said: Alas, who may trust this world. And then he kneeled down on his knee, and prayed the Bishop to shrive him and assoil him.
