"You were directed not to listen. Your heart was hardened. His hour had come." "I cannot believe it. We may restore him. It is impossible that he can be dead in a moment." They stood over the detective, and Masters and Fred Caunter, with courage and presence of mind, carried him out into the corridor. The butler spoke. "Run for the brandy, Fred," he said. "We must get some down his neck if we can.
There were present the master of Chadlands, Dr. Mannering who asked to spend the night there and Henry Lennox; while Masters and Fred Caunter waited upon them. The detectives heard with interest the result of the post-mortem conducted during the morning, and related incidents in the life of Peter Hardcastle.
Having repaired and provisioned the ships, on the 3rd of June they set sail, steering southward, but anchored again in two days in a bay, where the caunter Christopher was run on shore and her cargo removed. Again they proceeded, after anchoring a short time, until they brought up once more in another bay in 15 degrees 20 minutes, short only one degree off the mouth of the straits.
Not even Fred Caunter, who doesn't know the meaning of fear, as you can testify, Sir Walter. But he's fed up with the Grey Room, if I may say so, and so's the housekeeper, Mrs. Forbes, and so's Jane Bond. Not that they would desert the ship; but there's others that be going to do so. I may mention that four maids and Jackson intend to give notice to-morrow.
The Boche were silenced for the moment, and the party, making a rush at the same time, managed to reach the trenches in safety. Last of all Caunter calmly picked up his gun and came away himself, fired at, but never hit. Half-an-hour later two tanks appeared, and keeping on the West side of the Aisonville Road, climbed the rise towards Retheuil Farm.
"I did not wish it." "I know we were wrong but we were both death on it, and we tossed up, and he won." "Where is he?" "Up there now, looking out of the window. I've called him and made a row at the door, but he doesn't answer. He's locked himself in, apparently." "What have you done, Henry? We must get to him instantly. Tell Caunter no, I will.
"'Twas Nicholas Caunter his gift to her." "What a world!" exclaimed Cora. "So Nicholas found it! Or, since you think I'm lying, perhaps you'll say 'twas me gave it to him, because your sister thought 'twas more than time she had a present off him?"
"But you expressly refused him permission to do so, Walter." "I did you heard me. Let sleeping dogs lie is a very good motto, but young men will be young men. I hope, however, nothing serious " He stopped, for Caunter had forced the door and burst it inward with a crash. During the moment's silence that followed they heard the key spring into the room and strike the wainscot.
His slow brain moved backwards, and he remembered that this was a task he had already performed ten or more years before. Then the ill-omened chamber had revealed a dead woman. Who was in it now? Caunter guessed readily enough. Lennox spoke to his uncle as they approached the locked door.
