"Miss Penelope Morse," the Inspector continued. "She is a young American lady, who lives with an invalid aunt in Park Lane, and who is taken everywhere by the Duchess of Devenham, another aunt, I believe." "I suppose I may say that I am acquainted with her," Mr. Coulson admitted. "She came here the other evening with a young man Sir Charles Somerfield." "Ah!" the Inspector murmured.
"There is another matter I'd like to talk to you about, and there's nowhere better than the streets for a little conversation. Besides, I need the air." "With pleasure," the Duke answered, who loathed walking. He directed his coachman to precede them, and they started off, arm in arm. "Devenham," the Prime Minister said, "we were speaking, a few minutes ago, of Prince Maiyo.
So saying, he strode from the room with Master Milo trotting at his heels, and being come out upon the terrace, stood to watch the phaeton's rapid approach. And, indeed, what words could be found in any language that could possibly do justice to the gentle, glowing beauty of Mistress Clemency Dare, transformed now, for good and all, into Beatrix, Viscountess Devenham?
Tressider's 'Pilot, Lord Jerningham's 'Clinker, and five or six others. But, as I tell you, 'Clasher' and 'Moonraker' carry the money, though many knowing ones are sweet on the 'Rascal. But, surely, you must have heard of the great steeplechase? Devilish ugly course, they tell me." "The Viscount spoke of it, I remember," said Barnabas, absently. "Viscount, sir not Viscount Devenham?" "Yes."
In a few moments he came face to face with Somerfield, who greeted him a little gloomily. "Sir Charles," the Prince said, "I hope that I shall have the pleasure of meeting you at Devenham?" "I am not sure," Somerfield answered. "I have been asked, but I promised some time ago to go up to Scotland. I have a third share in a river there, and the season for salmon is getting on."
"That is why I sent for you to come immediately. You will see him tonight at Devenham House." "With all the rest of the world," she answered, "but a man is not likely to talk confidentially under such conditions." Mr. Harvey rose to his feet. "It is only a chance, of course," he admitted, "but remember that you know more than any other person in this country except myself.
"My dear Devenham," continued the Earl solemnly, "being, I fear, something of a fogy and fossil, I don't know if you Bucks allow the formality of shaking hands. Still, Viscount, as father and son or rather son and father, it may perhaps be permitted us? How are you, Viscount?"
Conversation amongst the younger members of the house-party at Devenham Castle was a little disjointed that evening. Perhaps Penelope, who came down in a wonderful black velveteen gown, with a bunch of scarlet roses in her corsage, was the only one who seemed successfully to ignore the passage of arms which had taken place so short a while ago.
"Yes, sir, I found one just beyond Lewisham, small, though comfortable. Here is the key, sir." "Thank you, John," said Barnabas, and thereafter sat staring gloomily at the key until Peterby spoke again: "Sir, pray forgive me, but I fear you are in some trouble. Is it your misunderstanding with Viscount Devenham? I couldn't help but overhear, and "
It originated in a match between Devenham on his 'Moonraker' and myself on 'Clinker, but Sling here was hot to match his 'Rascal, and Carnaby fancied his 'Clasher, and begad! applications came so fast that we had a field in no time." "Good fellows and sportsmen all!" nodded the Captain. "Gentlemen riders no tag-rag, gamest of the game, sir."
