I do not like that man, sir. 'You belong to the majority, then, Baltic. Few people like Cargrim, or trust him. But what is he to you? 'My employer. Yes, sir, you may well look astonished. Mr Cargrim asked me down to Beorminster for a certain purpose. 'Connected with his self-aggrandisement, no doubt.
Mr Cargrim, by his late tittle-tattling conversation, had fallen in her good opinion; and she was not going to let him off without a sharp rebuke for his unfounded chatter. Cutting short his murmurs, she proceeded to nip in the bud any further reports he or Mrs Pansey might spread in connection with the murder, by explaining much more than was needful.
The low he became acquainted with on his own account, as a word and a smile in his good-humoured way was sufficient to establish at least a temporary friendship; but he owed his familiarity with the 'high' to the good offices of Mr Cargrim. That gentleman returned from his holiday with much apparent satisfaction, and declared himself greatly benefited by the change.
Baltic tapped Gabriel's chest three times with his forefinger. 'For your own safety, Mr Pendle. Good-day, sir! As has before been stated, Dr Graham had another conversation with his persecuted friend, in which he advised him to tolerate the presence of Cargrim until Baltic captured the actual criminal.
Moreover, the bishop seemed to be so utterly unconscious that anyone could accuse him of the crime, that Graham shrank from being the busybody to enlighten him. Yet it was necessary that he should be informed, if only that he might be placed on his guard against the machinations of Cargrim.
'Was Captain Pendle on Southberry Heath? asked Cargrim, who was already acquainted with this fact, although he did not think it necessary to tell Miss Whichello so. 'You don't say so? 'Yes, he was! He rode over to the gipsy camp to purchase an engagement ring for Miss Arden from Mother Jael. That ring is now on her finger.
'It it is impossible, whispered George, almost inaudibly, 'Gabriel can explain. 'Gabriel must explain, said Brace, firmly; 'it is a matter of life and death! It was Miss Whichello, who, on the statement of Mrs Pansey as reported by Mr Cargrim, had told George of his brother's presence on Southberry Heath at the time of Jentham's murder.
You have done no wrong; like greatness, evil has been thrust upon you. 'I am certainly an innocent sinner, Graham. 'Of course you are; but now that we have found the remedy, that is all over and done with. Wait till Jentham's murderer is found, then turn Cargrim out of doors, marry Mrs Krant in some out-of-the-way parish, and make a fresh will in favour of your children. There you are, bishop!
'Like so many Nebuchadnezzars, suggested Cargrim, always scriptural. 'Well, some kinds of grass are edible, you know, Mr Cargrim; although we need not go on all fours to eat them as he did. 'So many people would need to revert to their natural characters of animals if that custom came in, said George, smiling.
However, the bishop was just as diplomatic as his chaplain, and too wise to give way to the temper he felt at so downright a request, approached the matter in an outwardly mild spirit. 'Heathcroft is a large parish, said his lordship, meditatively. 'And therefore needs a hard-working young rector, replied Cargrim.
