He followed him to the Fragonard Club, watched him enter; then he himself turned into a neighbouring bar and telephoned to Swallow. The Squire was still in the Fragonard when Swallow got there: from that time he kept a watch. The Squire remained in the Club for an hour " "Which proves," interrupted Copplestone, "that he's a member, and that I ought to have followed up my attempt to get in there."
"That, my dear sir, you will see when you land." replied Andrius. "You will, at any rate, be quite comfortable for the night, and in the morning, I think, you will be able to journey wherever you wish to go to." There was something in the smile which accompanied the last words which made Copplestone uneasy. But the prospect of regaining their liberty was too good he kept his own counsel.
"Well, Tommy," I said, "what was old Marline blazing away at? Whatever it was, he managed to hit it, for I heard the smash." "Yes," answered Copplestone. "But it was more a case of luck than of good shooting, for it is as dark as a wolf's mouth.
Copplestone hesitated before answering this direct question. He had not seen anything which would lead him to suppose that Miss Adela Chatfield was a disingenuous and designing young woman, but she was certainly Peeping Peter's daughter, and the old man, having failed to get anything out of Copplestone himself, might possibly have sent her to see what she could accomplish.
"I've a supply of service revolvers at my office, down this very street," replied Vickers. "I'll go and get them. Here! Let's apportion our duties. I'll see to that. Gilling, you see about the car. Copplestone, you order some breakfast for us sharp." "And I'll go round to the police," said Sir Cresswell.
"Went round to the newspaper office last night and put them up to everything. Nothing like publicity in these cases. There you are! That's the style, Copplestone! every human being along this coast'll be reading that by now!" "So there was no news of him last night?" asked Copplestone. "Neither last night nor this morning, my boy," replied Stafford. "Of course not! No he never left here, not he!
Copplestone, as I did to your friend Mr. Cary, for information and assistance, and I have been advised by those who know you here to be perfectly frank. You are not at present an object of suspicion to the local police, who assure me, that though you are known to have access to much secret information, yet that you have never made any wrongful use of it.
Dawson seized it, was about to tear it open, remembered suddenly his hostess, and bowed towards her. "Have I your permission, madam?" he asked. She smiled and nodded; I turned away to conceal a laugh. "Good," cried Dawson, poring over the message. "I think, Mr. Copplestone, that you had better telephone to your office and say that you are unavoidably detained."
Sir Oswald was devoutly attached to him, and would have gladly opened his purse to him as to a brother; but he dared not offend the stern old soldier's pride by even hinting at such a desire. Captain Copplestone came to Raynham prepared to remonstrate with his friend on the folly of his marriage.
But upon one thing Copplestone had made up his mind determinedly before that second evening came he would make no pretence to Audrey Greyle and her mother.
