Of course, Mr. Ashton had a beard, slightly grey, but he was a grey-haired man. All the family had crown hair; the present Lord Ellingham is crown-haired. And Mr. Ashton had grey eyes every Cave-Gray that I remember was grey-eyed. I should say that Mr. Ashton was just what I should have expected Lord Marketstoke to be at sixty."
Summers told me this morning that there's a chapel here in which the Cave-Gray family have been interred for two or three centuries. Let's have a look at it." Viner, who had a dilettante love of ancient architecture, was immediately lost in admiration of the fine old structure into which he and his companion presently stepped.
There it is and there and here and here and here again; it's evidently been a favourite family name among the Cave-Gray women for three hundred years at least. You see what it is? Avice!" Mr. Pawle peered at the various places to which his companion's finger pointed. "Yes," he answered, "I see it several times, as you say. Avice! Yes?" "Miss Wickham's Christian name is Avice," said Viner. Mr.
My full name is Cave-Gray my family name; but for the present " "For the present you wish to be called Mr. Cave. Now, sir, are you not the person who claims to be the rightful Earl of Ellingham?" A murmur of excited interest ran round the court, and everybody recognized that a new stage of the case had been entered upon.
The male line came to an end at one period the daughter of the last male holder succeeded, and the man whom she married took the family name of Cave-Gray, and their eldest son, of course, succeeded on the death of his mother. Quite right, sir."
"All of a piece with Ashton's visit to Marketstoke all of a piece with the facts that Avice was a favourite name with the Cave-Gray family, and that one of the holders of the title married a Wickham. Viner, there's no doubt whatever in my mind that either Ashton was Lord Marketstoke or that he knew the man who was!" "You remember what Armitstead told us," remarked Viner.
No, sir; all the efforts and advertisements were no good whatever, and after some time some considerable time the younger brother, the Honourable Charles Cave-Gray " "Cave-Gray? Is that the family name?" interrupted Mr. Pawle. "That's the family name, sir Cave-Gray," replied Mrs. Summers. "One of the oldest families in these parts, sir the earldom dates from Queen Anne.
It may be that Marketstoke, dying out there in Australia, handed these things to Ashton and asked him to give them to some members of the Cave-Gray family perhaps an aunt, or a cousin, or so on and that Ashton went down to Marketstoke to find out what relations were still in existence. That may be it that would solve the problem!" "No!" said Viner with sudden emphasis.
Pawle pausing a few yards away from the porch of the hotel, and speaking in a confidential voice, "it's this: In turning up the records of the Cave-Gray family, as far as they are shown in their parish registers, I found that Stephen John Cave-Gray, sixth Earl of Ellingham, married one Georgina Wickham. Now, is that another coincidence? There you get the two names in combination Avice Wickham.
"In that case, if Wickham was the missing Lord Marketstoke, and this girl is his daughter, she's " He broke off, and became still more puzzled. "Upon my honour," he exclaimed, "I don't know who she is!" "What do you mean?" asked Viner. "She's his daughter, of course Wickham's. Only, in that case I mean, if he was really Lord Marketstoke her proper name, I suppose, is Cave-Gray." Mr.
