"There'll be all the more for the rest of you, won't there?" "Don't talk nonsense!" exclaimed Trevelyan. "Of course you'll have some! If I think fit to eat it, you may. Don't play the blameless prig, for goodness' sake!" "Brady thinks I've filched it," said Cadbury.
Cadbury Taylor, and has engaged him to solve the diamond mystery. So you see you will have a clear field. If you can leave for the castle to-morrow night, you may have the pleasure of Mr. Cadbury Taylor's company.
"As far as I was able to understand, he has a very important case on hand a sort of romance in high life; and I think he wants your assistance to unravel it; it seems to be baffling him." "It is not very difficult to baffle Mr. Cadbury Taylor," said the girl, looking up at her employer with a merry twinkle in her eye.
"Half of it," replied Cadbury. "You can leave your half behind if you like, but I want mine. I earned it by getting you out of your scrape. Look here, Grey! Here are five six articles belonging to you. I put six marks against your name, and that's half-way to an imp., unless you do your duty towards that chicken." "Oh, dash it! Well, what have I to do?" "You can't carve, can you?" "Don't know.
We next visited a general "stores," lined with the familiar Cadbury, Keiller, and Huntley & Palmer tins: there we invested in corned beef, tinned soup, potted meats, cheese, salt, macaroni, marmalade, tea, coffee, sugar, candles, soap, matches, etc. Things not to be forgotten were nails, hammer, rope, methylated spirit and etna.
"Yes, I do," answered Cadbury Taylor, still imperturbable, in spite of the provocation he was receiving. "Well, where are they?" "They are in the vaults of your bank in Vienna." "I don't believe it. Who stole them then?" "They were put there by her Highness the Princess von Steinheimer, doubtless in security for money "
Everybody knew that everybody around him was wide awake, but nobody felt inclined to speak. By and by the daylight came, and brought a little more courage with it. "After all, I don't care two straws!" exclaimed Cadbury abruptly. "Who do you suppose does?" said Trevelyan. Vickers raised himself on his elbow. "It should have been bread-sauce," put in Cadbury.
It fell face downwards, and on the back he saw a neat little resume in Miss Pembroke's handwriting, intended for such as him. "Allegory. Girl = getting into touch with Nature." In touch with Nature! The girl was a tree! He lit his pipe and gazed at the radiant earth. The foreground was hidden, but there was the village with its elms, and the Roman Road, and Cadbury Rings.
"What's the good of looking forward? Seize the flying moment, and suck honey while you may. That's my motto." "But you think with me; it is all up with us?" "I'm afraid that's about the long and the short of it. Pepper was very hot and red last night, regular Cayenne, in fact; and I have noticed that Cayenne at night spells Cane in the morning." "Cadbury, please stop making fun! I can't bear it.
I am afraid!" There was silence for a moment, and then Cadbury spoke, but in an altered voice. "Do you mean to say that you want me to leave your name out entirely?" "Y yes. If I get in a row it'll be mentioned in my report, and I shall catch it at home. I don't believe you feel things like I do. And it was all your doing, wasn't it?" "Mostly. Very well, I sha'n't mention you, Grey."
