'IT'S a singler story, sir, said Inspector Wield, of the Detective Police, who, in company with Sergeants Dornton and Mith, paid us another twilight visit, one July evening; 'and I've been thinking you might like to know it. 'It's concerning the murder of the young woman, Eliza Grimwood, some years ago, over in the Waterloo Road. 'That's neither here nor there.
The young lady listened intently, eagerly, checking herself with what might have been a half smile at his enthusiasm. "I remember the banker's letter, certainly," she said, "and Captain Dornton that was the name of Bobby's father asked me to sign my name in the body of it where HE had also written it with my address.
"I thought," she added, "that he played the organ in Dornton church." "So he does," said Delia, "but he plays the violin too. And he gives lessons. He taught me." She looked searchingly at her companion, whose fair face reddened a little. "I owe everything to him," continued Delia; "without what he has done for me my life would be dark.
As long as the resounding notes of the organ continued, she forgot the little bustle of Dornton, and her anger against Anna, and even when the Professor had finished and joined her in the porch, the calming influence remained. "Can you stay a little this evening?" he asked, as they walked through the churchyard together; "if you can spare time I should like a talk.
For one thing, instead of standing boldly out before the world of Dornton High Street, it was smuggled away, with a row of little houses like itself, in a narrow sort of passage, enclosed between two wide streets. This passage ended in a blank wall, and was, besides, too narrow for any but foot-passengers to pass up it, so that it would have been hard to find a quieter or more retired spot.
Your Uncle John has built another room, and spoilt the look of the old house, but that's the only change I can see." "And Dornton," said Anna, "what is that like?" "Dornton," said Mr Forrest absently "Dornton is the same dull little hole of a town I remember it then." "Oh," said Anna in a disappointed voice. "There's a fine old church, though, and the river's nice enough.
They are very short; and, I think, curious. We welcomed the Carpet Bag, as cordially as Mr. Shepherdson welcomed the false Butcher at the Setting Moon. Sergeant Dornton proceeded. 'In 1847, I was despatched to Chatham, in search of one Mesheck, a Jew. 'Mesheck was off, before I got to Chatham. All I could learn about him was, that he had gone, probably to London, and had with him a Carpet Bag.
Nevertheless, as the train crept more and more slowly, with halting signals, toward London, he buoyed himself up with the hope that Captain Dornton would still try conclusions for his patrimony, or at least come to some compromise by which he might be restored to his rank and name.
"It was there I first met your mother," he said, "or rather, at Dornton. We were married in Dornton church." "Oh," said Anna, very much interested, "did mother live at Dornton? I never knew that." "And that reminds me," said Mr Forrest, taking a leather case out of his pocket, and speaking with an effort, "I've something I want to give you before you go away. You may as well have it now.
Delia was not popular in Dornton, and people regretted that such a "sweet" woman as Mrs Hunt should have a daughter who was often so blunt in her manners, and so indisposed to make herself pleasant. Her life, therefore, though full of busy matters, was rather lonely, and she would have made it still more so, if possible, by shutting herself up with her violin and her books.
