My memory is not quite as good as it was, but I have a recollection that when I was a boy, well over seventy years ago I am, as your lordship is aware, nearer ninety than eighty there were hiding-places discovered in the bank-house at the time Matthew Chestermarke, grandfather of the present Gabriel, had it altered: in fact, I am quite sure I was taken by my father to see them.
Joseph Chestermarke nodded his head at that, and the Earl stirred a little uneasily in his chair. "Oh, well!" he said. "I to tell you the truth, I didn't think about that, Mr. Chestermarke. It's true I don't keep any account with you it's never seemed er, necessary, you know. But, of course, I knew Horbury so well he's a member of our golf club and our archæological society that "
He saw Gabriel stop, listen to an evident question, and then lift his hand and point to various features of the Hollow. The policeman touched his helmet, and came back to Polke. "Mr. Chestermarke, sir, says the moorland is in three parishes," he reported pantingly.
Chestermarke," he said. "But I say! I've got another notion I'm not a very quick thinker, and I daresay my idea came out of Mr. Neale's suggestion. Anyway, it's this for whatever it's worth. I told you that we only got home night before last early on Saturday evening, as a matter of fact. Now, it was known in the town here that we'd returned we drove through the Market-Place.
And mark you! after a few minutes' conversation with Joseph Chestermarke. Ecclesborough, indeed! Might as well look for a drop of water in the ocean as for one woman in Ecclesborough! She was set down at the Exchange Station why, she may be half-way to London or Liverpool, or Hull, by now!" Starmidge was listening intently.
Gabriel Chestermarke, senior partner in Chestermarke's Bank, at Scarnham, while you, up to now " "Have only known him as Godwin Markham, money-lender, financial agent, and so on, of Conduit Street," interrupted Castlemayne. "And known him a lot too much for my peace, I can tell you! Of course, we're talking of the same man! I can quite believe he runs a double show.
It was nearly the usual hour for closing when Wallington Neale went back, and Gabriel Chestermarke immediately told him to follow out the ordinary routine. The clerks were to finish their work and go their ways, as if nothing had happened, and, as far as they could, they were to keep their tongues quiet.
Clearly, considering everything, there were grounds for believing that there was some secret between Mrs. Carswell and Joseph Chestermarke. Anyway, rightly or wrongly, Starmidge was suspicious of the junior partner in Chestermarke's Bank, and he wanted to know everything that he could find out about him.
There's nothing to prevent Abraham Moses from styling himself Fitzwilliam Simpkins, if he's always done business as Fitzwilliam Simpkins see? And it's highly probable that, as he's so much in town, Gabriel Chestermarke lives in town under the name of Godwin Markham double-life business, as you suggest. But you were going to suggest something else. What?" "This," said Easleby.
It might have something to do with the missing jewels; it might be mixed up with Frederick Hollis's death; it might be that Horbury and Joseph Chestermarke were jointly concerned in but there he was at a loss, not knowing or being able to speculate on what they could be concerned in.
