Carr's friend, Detective Green, had furnished that gentleman with a descriptive bill of Gordon of the mutiny: "a young, slight man, with light eyes and fair hair." This did not answer exactly to the Gorton who had played his part at Calne; but then, in regard to the latter, there remained the suspicion that the red hair was false.
Not an inkling of it had been suffered to get abroad, or, as Lord Hartledon had observed, they should have the banks swarming. The consequence was, that not more than half-a-dozen curious idlers had assembled: those were on the opposite side, and had now gone down with the boats to Calne. No spectators, either on the river or the shore, attended this lesser contest: Lord Hartledon and Mr.
Yet her spirit was not easily quelled; 'You lie! she cried shrilly, the stick, with which she vainly strove to steady herself, rattling on the floor. Who dares to say that my son has killed a man? 'It is known, the attorney answered. 'Who who is it? 'Mr. Pomeroy of Bastwick, a gentleman living near Calne. 'In a duel! 'Twas in a duel, you lying fool! she retorted hoarsely.
On reaching the turning where the three paths diverged, the faintness which had been hovering over her all the evening suddenly grew worse; and but for a friendly tree, she might have fallen. It grew better in a few moments, but she did not yet quit her support. Very surprised was the Rector of Calne to come up and see Lady Hartledon in this position.
The railway took a slight détour outside Calne, and was a conspicuous feature to any who chose to look at it; for the line had been raised above the village hollow to correspond with the height at either end. Six o'clock was close at hand, and the station began to show signs of life. The station-master came out of his cottage, and opened one or two doors on the platform.
Inquired of Kimberly why he suspected his clerk Gorton should be Gordon; Kimberly replied he did not suspect him, but a gentleman did, who had been there that day. This put me on Gorton's track." "And you followed it up?" "Of course; keeping my own counsel. Took it up in haste, though; no deliberation; went off to Calne, without first comparing notes with Gordon's friend the surgeon."
Curiously to relate, the first person beyond the Rectory to take the illness was the man Pike. How he could have caught it was a marvel to Calne. And yet, if Lady Kirton's theory were correct, that infection was conveyed by clothes, it might be accounted for, and Clerk Gum be deemed the culprit. One evening after the clerk had been for some little time at the Rectory with Dr.
Help! that a little betrayed the man; but in the determined clamour which she raised and continued to maintain, it passed well enough. 'If we meet any one they must hear us! she gasped, presently, pausing a moment to take breath. 'Which way are we going? 'Towards Calne, I think, he answered, continuing to drum on the door in the intervals of speech. 'In the street we must be heard. 'Help!
Jabez, too; if this ever came out in Calne, it would just kill him; his lordship knew what he was, and how he had cared for appearances all his life. No; it would not be for many more hours now, and Willy must die in the shed where he had lived.
Gum; "but I know it was there. I woke up with the very words in my ears, 'Don't let him come to Calne! and I started out of bed in terror for Lord Hartledon, lest he should come. We are only half awake, you know, at these moments. I pulled the curtain aside and looked out. Gum, if ever I thought to drop in my life, I thought it then.
