The claim, however, seemed very disputable, and was stoutly denied by Helen. The next morning Leonard set out in search of Dr. Morgan. He thought his best plan was to inquire the address of the doctor at the nearest chemist's, and the chemist civilly looked into the "Court Guide," and referred him to a house in Bulstrode Street, Manchester Square.
So, she jilts me, and I get a pistol, or I get a neat bit of rope, or I take a clean header with a cannon-ball at my heels, or I go to the chemist's and ask for stuff to poison rats, anything a fool'd do under the circumstances, it don't matter what." Old Anthony waited for Rhoda to jump over a stile, and said to her, "He laughs at the whole lot of ye." "Who?" she asked, with betraying cheeks.
But no I sniffed again it was there there, close to me under my very nose the strong, pungent odour of drugs; but not being a professor of smells, nor even a humble student of physics, I was consequently unable to diagnose it, and could only arrive at the general conclusion that it was a smell that brought with it very vivid recollections of a chemist's shop and of my old school laboratory.
He had been in the act of entering a tobacconist's next door to the chemist's shop. "I'm not quite a ghost," he informed her with a short laugh, "although I admit I feel rather like one." He paused uncertainly, rubbing his hand over a day's growth of beard. "But I we thought you'd gone to South America," she blurted out, then was sorry she had said it. "That is, we saw it in the Paris paper."
The choir stalls, of deal wood, have been left unpainted. The market that is to say, a tiled roof supported by some twenty posts occupies of itself about half the public square of Yonville. The town-hall, constructed "from the designs of a Paris architect," is a sort of Greek temple that forms the corner next to the chemist's shop.
It was asserted that she had never entered the chemist's shop; also, that the assistant had wrongly identified some other lady as Miss Helena Gracedieu; also, that there was not an atom of evidence to connect her with the stealing of the doctor's prescription-paper and the forgery of his writing. Other assertions to the same purpose followed, on which it is needless to dwell.
I half expected to hear him apologise, but naturally nothing of the sort happened; she was only too obviously a phantom, and, in accordance with the nature of a phantom, she passed right through him. A few yards farther on, she came to an abrupt pause, and then, with a slight inclination of her head as if meaning me to follow, she glided into a chemist's shop.
The odd numbers were on the left side, so S.S. would walk on the right, and get a good survey of Number 13 from a modest distance. Ah! he was getting near it now. Here was 17, a baker's; 15, a greengrocer's; and 13 eh? a chemist's? Ah, yes, he noticed that the first floors of all the shops were let for offices, and the first floor of the chemist's shop was the place he wanted.
At any rate, it served, so what more need be said? Certain rills of evidence accumulated into a fair-sized stream before night fell. P.C. Robinson, for instance, scored a point by ascertaining that Peggy Smith had seen Furneaux dropping from the bedroom window of the chemist's shop.
He joined me in the dining-room, and closed the door. "The other day," he went on, "when I told you what I had discovered in the chemist's shop, I think I mentioned a young man who was called to speak to a question of identity an assistant who knew Miss Helena Gracedieu by sight." "Yes, yes!" "That young man left the note which Maria has just taken upstairs."
