Finally, the tale of how the priest had been taken by his own father old Mr. Audrey of Matstead him that was now lying sick in Mr. Columbell's house this put the crown on all the rest. A hundred rumours flew this way and that: one said that the old man had known nothing of his son's presence in the country, but had thought him to be still in foreign parts.
"It was the very question I put to myself," said Robin. "And I took the liberty of seeing where they went. They went to Mr. Columbell's own house, and indoors of it. The serving-men held the horses at the door. I watched them awhile from Mr. Biddell's window; but they were still there when I came away at last." "What hour was that?" asked the old man. "That would be after dinner-time.
"It is a great happiness to see you," he said, smiling, and then no more compliments. "And what of my father?" he added instantly. She told him. Mr. Audrey was in Derby, still sick from his fit. He was in Mr. Columbell's house. She had not seen him. Biddell presently about your case. But there is a word or two I have to say first. We can have two hours here, if you wish it."
