Montenero and his daughter, digressed into a subject utterly uninteresting to me, and would explain to us the reasons why Mr. Alderman Coates and Mr. Peter Coates her son were not this night of her party.
Hallowell sank back in his chair, Helen Coates, the only child of Catherine Coates, his sister, and the young District Attorney of New York came into the library. Miss Coates was a woman of between twenty-five and thirty, capable, and self-reliant. She had a certain beauty of a severe type, but an harassed expression about her eyes made her appear to be always frowning.
This is what had happened: Forty loyalists, under command of Captain Evan Thomas, had embarked from New York on whaleboats manned by Lieutenant Blanchard, of the British navy, and eighty armed seamen. Landing at Coates' Point, a place near the mouth of Tom's River, they were there joined by a detachment of Monmouth County refugees under Richard Davenport.
My visitor had gone palpably through the window, for certainly the front door had not been opened. "She has gone, Coates!" I exclaimed. And on this occasion it was Coates who repeated in an amazed voice: "She?" But even as he spoke, my attention had become diverted. I was staring at that portion of the table upon which Maspero's book lay.
Coates was waiting up for me, but he had nothing of importance to report, apparently, until, when I had dismissed him, he turned in the doorway, and: "Excuse me, sir," he said and cleared his throat. "Yes, Coates?" "About half an hour ago, sir, the dogs all around started howling, sir. I thought I'd better mention it, as Inspector Gatton asked me this morning if I had ever heard the dogs howling."
We were interrupted by a knock at the study door, and Coates came in with the evening mail. "Excuse me, Gatton," I said for I had observed that one of the letters was from Isobel. Eagerly I tore open the envelope ... and what I read struck a sudden chill to my heart. Looking up: "Gatton!" I cried "Miss Merlin has received, by post, a small statuette of Bâst!" "What!"
The moment that Coates drove away, the signal was given. It must have been. We were back here a few minutes later, Now do you see?" "I do not, Gatton! What are you driving at?" "At this: The telephone call must have been made from somewhere in the immediate neighborhood! There wasn't time to do it otherwise. And there is no public call office within a mile which is open after seven o'clock!"
Although the process of preserving the body in alcohol cost $160, Charles did not regret the expense saying, "I had plenty of money at that time." After the death of his wife, Charles left with his mother and father, Henrietta and Spencer Coates and went to Savannah, Georgia.
And as usual hitches are bound to occur. Coates has got the oar belonging to Crossfield. And when this mistake has been remedied, Bloomfield in the other boat suddenly discovers that his stretcher is a little weak, and insists on waiting till a new one is brought. Finally everything is ready, and the two boats slowly swing out into mid-stream.
Coates said to Lord Mowbray; and though she never uttered a syllable, or raised her eyes, or moved the fan she held in her hand, I knew by her countenance the impression that was made on her mind: she would have scorned, on any other subject of human life or manners, to have allowed the judgment of Mrs.
