The whole affair strikes me as extremely unusual, and did I not know you to be a man of your word, I should have nothing to do with it. Under the circumstances, I will consent. At least, I feel sure that no harm can come to Miss Ellicott while she is under my roof." The detective murmured his thanks. "You will be doing Miss Ellicott a great service, my dear sir," he said. "And one thing more.
"Oh, good morning, Mrs. Ellicott. This is Oliver Oliver Crowe, you know. Is Nancy there?" Nor does it appear inclined toward lengthy conversation the voice at the other end. "No." "Well, when will she be in? I've got to take the five o'clock train Mrs. Ellicott I've simply got to I may lose my job if I don't but I've got to talk to her first I've got to explain "
He conceded that Banneker had spherical knowledge enough to make almanacs, but not without the suspicion of aid from Ellicott who was his neighbor and friend, and never missed an opportunity of puffing him. Referring to the letter he received from Banneker, he said it showed the writer to have a mind of very common stature indeed.
Robert Wood lived in Fernborough, and from the day of his arrest I have been much interested in the case, and with the help of my father and a friend of mine, Quincy Adams Sawyer, the son of the former governor, I have been trying to find the man who murdered Mr. Ellicott, for I have never believed that Robert Wood was the guilty person."
I never really thought of it till I came out here, and then other occupations crowded upon me, and so it was too late to make myself a scholar. Alas! 'Now I really think nothing is so great a relaxation tome as a good book by Trench, or Vaughan, or Ellicott, or Dr. Pusey, and I do enjoy it.
"With her. And going to stay with her?" "I suppose so." Mrs. Ellicott sighs relievedly. "That's so nice." Nancy will be safe now as safe as if she were under an anesthetic. Mrs. Winters will take care of that. She must have a little talk with dear Isabella Winters. But that night Nancy is alone in her room doing up her engagement ring and Oliver's letters in a wobbly package.
It was very well arranged, so as not to be too fatiguing, and we left the cordial gathering in good condition. We drove home with Bishop and Mrs. Ellicott. There was to be a great meeting of schoolmistresses, in whose work her son, the Honorable Lyulph Stanley, is deeply interested. Alas!
Ellicott would regard as either sensible or reasonable has happened at all. Though they do not know it the conversation has been oddly like that of two dried desert-travellers who have suddenly come upon water and for quite a while afterwards find it hard to think of anything else. But finally: "Dearest, dearest, what was the grand news?" says Oliver half-drowsily.
I had hoped that you might ask her to come here, so that I might be properly introduced to her." The Minister considered the matter carefully. Evidently he did not altogether like it. "You forget, Mr. Duvall," he said, finally, "that I myself do not know you. Furthermore I certainly have no desire to involve Miss Ellicott in any difficulties.
"Yes, father, but that was a long time ago," said Mary. "Do let Quincy read the rest of it." "A brutal murder was committed last night at the Ellicott Mills," Quincy continued. "The unfortunate victim was Mr. Samuel Ellicott, the treasurer and principal owner. He was found sitting at his desk with his head crushed in. The blood-stained implement of destruction has been discovered.
