After ten we went to supper, on four broiled chicken, four boiled ducks, minced veal, cold roast goose, chicken pastry, and ham. Our company, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Coates, Mrs. Atkins, Mrs. Hicks, Mr. Piper and wife, Joseph Fuller and wife, Tho. Fuller and wife, Dame Durrant, myself and wife, and Mr. French's family.
"Very well, then, let us leave Berenice for the present" I groaned "and go to her father, Mr. Montenero, and to a certain Mrs. Coates." "Mrs. Coates! did you see her too?" cried my mother: "you seem to have seen every body in the world this morning, Mr. Harrington. How happened it that you saw vulgar Mrs. Coates?"
But what a shifting of the social equilibrium means, and what follows upon tampering with it, is a subject which demands a chapter by itself. New Jersey v. Wilson, 7 Cranch 164; decided in 1812. Coates v. Mayor of New York, 7 Cowen 585. Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge, 11 Peters 420, 553. Boston & Maine Railroad v. County Commissioners, 79 Maine 393. Wynehamer v. The People, 13 N.Y. 393.
Then: "Jack," I heard, in a faint whisper, "there is a strange noise ... just outside the room...." Silence came. But, vaguely, above that rasping sound, I had detected the words: "Cutting ... telephone ... wires...." I replaced the receiver. My hand was shaking wildly. "Gatton!" I said, "do you understand? It has turned its attention to Miss Merlin!" Then, raising my voice: "Coates!"
"I'm awfully sorry," said Parson, "but it's not quite done yet, Coates." "How much is done?" demanded Coates. "Not any yet," said Parson, with some confusion. "I was just going to begin. Wasn't I, Telson?" "Won't do," said Coates; "you were up the river this morning, I saw you. If you can go up the river you can do your impositions. Better come with me to the captain."
"Perhaps you'd fetch Dr. Ransford, Mr Richard?" he asked. "He's nearest." "Dr. Ransford's not at home," said Dick. "He went to Highminster some County Council business or other at ten this morning, and he won't be back until four I happen to know that. Shall I run for Dr. Coates?"
I asked him if he had ever heard, in his youth, of any scene that had passed between Miss Tylney Long and Mr. Coates at some fete-champetre. The old man thought for some time, but he could not help me. Where then, I asked him, could I search old files of local news-papers? He told me that there were supposed to be many such files mouldering in the archives of the Town Hall.
Presently: "Miss Merlin did not appear to-night, sir," he announced: "she is indisposed." "I thought as much," I muttered. "I could hardly have expected after such a day of horror and excitement that she would have been capable of appearing to-night. Ring up her flat, Coates," I added. "I should like to speak to her, for I know she is in great trouble."
Philadelphia: Porter and Coates. The first volume of this work was published in 1875, the second in 1876, and the third in 1883. A fourth volume is now in course of preparation, and will conclude the series. The prime qualifications of a historian, dispassionateness and thoroughness, are everywhere manifest in the splendid work of the Count of Paris.
Alderman Coates, and myself, will be particularly glad of the honour of seeing you tomorrow, or any time; and moreover, sir, the young lady," added she, with a shrewd, and to me offensive smile, "the young lady no doubt's well worth inquiring after a great heiress, as the saying is, as rich as a Jew she'll be, Miss Montenero." "Miss Montenero!" repeated Lord Mowbray and I, in the same instant.
