Troth myself never thought, sir, that beef or mutton was of any particular religion before." "Yes, sir; beef and mutton, when they're good, are Catholic but when they're lean, why, like a bad Christian, they're Protestant, of course, and that's well known," said the priest, still amused, against his will, by Darby's arguments.
"Parson Darby's Hole" under the Belle Tout is said to have been made by the vicar of East Dean as a refuge for castaways.
The detective turned away satisfied; but Margie saw the girl's hand shake, and her lips grow pale as marble, the moment Darby's keen eye was removed from her face. The discovery of the remains was followed by a long and tedious investigation.
His wife's rooms became crowded every day with the wives, daughters, and sisters of the men arrested, and others not arrested, or suspected by any living being; money in hundreds of pounds was poured into her lap to purchase the ignorance, the silence, or the perjury of Darby and every one went away apparently satisfied with Darby's promises through his faithful wife.
They became very confidential as they snuggled down under the covers, and when Mrs. Ramsey came in to kiss them both good-night, Edna felt much happier than had seemed possible she could be when she first considered that she must spend the day and night away from her mother.
