"So that's the line you're taking?" said Tallington quietly. "A good one for him." "Every man for himself," remarked the Norcaster practitioner. "We're not concerned with Mallalieu we're concerned about ourselves. See you when Cotherstone's brought before your worthies next Tuesday. And a word in your ear! it won't be a long job, then."
And amongst them, and on the margins of the half-sheet, and scrawled here and there, as if purposelessly and carelessly, was one word in Cotherstone's handwriting, repeated over and over again. That word was Wilchester. Stoner knew how that half-sheet of foolscap had come into his possession.
Brereton, watching the faces of the jurymen, all tradesmen of the town, serious and anxious, saw the effect which Cotherstone's evidence and the further admissions of the two sweethearts was having. And neither he nor Tallington and certainly not Mr.
Yah! who'd believe Cotherstone? Liar!" Cotherstone's face flushed angrily the flush died as quickly away and gave place to a sickly pallor. And at that a man who had stood near him beneath the portico, watching him inquisitively, stepped nearer and whispered "Go home, Mr. Cotherstone! take my advice, and get quietly away, at once!"
He gave one glance at his partner and Cotherstone gave one swift look at him and there was something in Cotherstone's look which communicated a sudden sense of uneasy fear to Mallalieu: it was a look of curious intelligence, almost a sort of signal. And Mallalieu experienced a vague feeling of dread as he turned to the doctor.
That five hundred is yours aye, as dead certain as that my nose is mine! It's it's what they call inductive reasoning. The initials M. and C. Mallows and Chidforth Mallalieu and Cotherstone the two thousand pounds the fact that Kitely was at Wilchester Assizes in 1881 that he became Cotherstone's tenant thirty years after oh, I see it all, and so will a judge and jury!
If anybody had looked over Stoner's shoulder they would have seen him gazing at a mass of figures. The half-sheet of foolscap was covered with figures: the figuring extended to the reverse side. And what a looker-on might not have known, but what Stoner knew very well the figures were all of Cotherstone's making clear, plain, well-formed figures.
