"That picture was taken before you were born, sir, I venture to say in 1869. I am very fond of it, for it gives the church in perspective, as you see. That was Mr. Gore's house" he indicated a square, heavily corniced mansion "where the hotel now stands, and that was his garden, next the church, where you see the trees above the wall."
The professor removed his broad felt hat and hurriedly wiped his vast and steaming brow a magnificent structure, corniced, at this moment, with anxiety. "It is better if we do not discuss it now." "But I might not meet him again."
