"Then there's another thing," said Calton, thoughtfully. "The letter might, have been delivered to him between the Elizabeth Street Railway Station and the Club." "We can soon find out about that," answered Madge; "for Mr. Rolleston was with him at the time." "So he was," answered Calton; "and here is Rolleston coming down the street. We'll ask him now."
She was out at the time I called, and I waited in the kitchen till her return. I looked at the kitchen clock to see if it was too late to wait, and then at my watch I found that the clock was ten minutes fast, upon which I put it right, and regulated it properly. CALTON: At what time did you put it right? WITNESS: About eight o'clock.
At last they passed, the pipers and drums playing a Highland march; and the Forty-Second slowly entered the Castle. It was perhaps the most extraordinary scene ever witnessed in Edinburgh. One of my greatest enjoyments when a child was in going out with the servants to the Calton, and wait while the "claes" bleached in the sun on the grassy slopes of the hill.
"Oh, he's mad," said Calton, shrugging his shoulders; "I shall put in a defence of insanity." "No, I am not mad," cried Fitzgerald, wildly, as he caught Madge in his arms. "My darling! My darling! It is for your sake that I keep silence, and I shall do so though my life pays the penalty.
All four were clever talkers, and Vandeloup and Calton being pitted against one another, excelled themselves; witty remarks, satirical sayings, and well-told stories were constantly coming from their lips, and they told their stories as their own and did not father them on Sydney Smith.
Thus, the broad and comely approach to Princes Street from the east, lined with hotels and public offices, makes a leap over the gorge of the Low Calton; if you cast a glance over the parapet, you look direct into that sunless and disreputable confluent of Leith Street; and the same tall houses open upon both thoroughfares.
"Of course you can see that from the date; and Whyte was murdered on Friday, the 27th." "It was written at something Villa, Toorak," pursued Kilsip, still examining the paper. "Oh! I understand; he went down there." "Hardly," retorted Calton, in a sarcastic tone.
Calton, by unwearied diligence, was able to discover the last witness, and prove an ALIBI, Had it not been for this, in spite of the remarks made by the learned counsel in his brilliant speech yesterday, which resulted in the acquittal of the prisoner, we question very much if the rest of the evidence in favour of the accused would have been sufficient to persuade the jury that he was an innocent man.
I will not," he answered steadily. "Was it a jewel?" "No!" "Was it an important paper?" "I don't know." "Ah! It was a paper. I can see it in your face. And was that paper of importance to you?" "Why do you ask?" Calton fixed his keen grey eyes steadily on Brian's face. "Because," he answered slowly, "the man to whom that paper was of such value murdered Whyte." Brian started up, ghastly pale.
Presently the night fell darker, and a smurr of rain drifted over from the edges of Pentland, mostly passing high above, but with lower fringes that dragged, as it were, on the Castle Rock and the Hill of Calton. The three young men were still silently looking out when suddenly from the darkness underneath there came a low voice. "'Ware window!" it said, "stand back there above."
