"And the old man was not with the Phenomenon? What has become of her, then?" "Perhaps she may be with him at his house, if he has one; only, she was not with him on the Rialto or Cornmarket. She was with him two years ago, I know; and he and she were better off then than he is now, I suspect.
He repaired to this retreat now, and ate and drank in quiet, and smoked a peaceful pipe afterwards, and was glad of a period of rest. But as he took his ease, he thought and pondered, and by the time that evening had fairly settled over the little town, he went out into the streets and sought the ancient corner of Scarnham which was called Cornmarket.
His landlady says he never returned home last night. Do you think anything can have happened " "If anything's happened to Mr. Neale," interrupted Starmidge, "it's all of a piece with the rest of it. Now, superintendent!" he went on, turning to Polke, "never mind what news I've brought we've got to find these two Chestermarkes at once! We must go, some of us, to the Warren, some to the Cornmarket.
Gabriel lives at the old house which I'll show you when we get out of this wood you'll see the roofs, anyhow, in this moonlight. Joseph lives in another old house, but in the town, at the end of Cornmarket. What they do with themselves at home, Heaven knows! They don't go into such society as there is; they take no part in the town's affairs.
Starmidge was a young man of ideas as well as of ability, and without exactly shaping his thought in so many words, he felt vaguely perhaps, but none the less strongly that just as you can size up some men by the clothes they wear, so you can get an idea of others by the outer look of the houses which shelter them. Cornmarket in Scarnham lay at the further end of the street called Finkleway.
Jolly Forsyte was strolling down High Street, Oxford, on a November afternoon; Val Dartie was strolling up. Jolly had just changed out of boating flannels and was on his way to the 'Frying-pan, to which he had recently been elected. Val had just changed out of riding clothes and was on his way to the fire a bookmaker's in Cornmarket. "Hallo!" said Jolly. "Hallo!" replied Val.
In thinking of these things he forgot what he wanted to forget; but hearing the sound of wheels, he entered a field as though to examine the crops until the vehicle had passed. It was not Wilson, but it might have been, and at the next turning he unconsciously branched off the Cornmarket road. It was noon when he came within sight of Coldingham, six miles from Worsted Skeynes.
And now will you both please be gone at once? quick once? quick march!" And taking his wife and daughter by the shoulders, he turned them both forcibly out, and sat down to make his final preparations for a lecture that afternoon on the "feminism" of Euripides. Meanwhile Connie Bledlow and her maid were walking quickly down the Broad towards the busy Cornmarket with its shops.
"No," said Rugge, dejectedly; "I can't say it was what, in farcical composition, I should call such nuts to me as that, sir. Still, he was in a low way seemed a pedlar or a hawker, selling out of a pannier on the Rialto I mean the Cornmarket, sir not even a hag by his side, only a great dog French. A British dog would have scorned such fellowship.
But within a few minutes they were in the Cornmarket, and Starmidge, seizing his companion's arm, dragged him round the corner of Joseph Chestermarke's house to the high garden wall which ran down the slope to the river bank. And as they turned the corner, he pointed. "As I thought!" he muttered. "It's Joseph Chestermarke's workshop! Something's happened. Look there!"
