My full name is Cave-Gray my family name; but for the present " "For the present you wish to be called Mr. Cave. Now, sir, are you not the person who claims to be the rightful Earl of Ellingham?" A murmur of excited interest ran round the court, and everybody recognized that a new stage of the case had been entered upon.
He knew very well the number the governess had called. "She's done it several times," he said. "I'll be frank with you. I got curious after the third evening, and called it myself. You know the trick. I found out it was the Ellingham, house, up State Street." "What was the nature of the conversations?" "Oh, she was very careful. It's an open phone and any one could hear her.
Carless, Mr. Driver, and their clerk, Mr. Portlethwaite, and on the fact that I lost this finger through a shooting accident when I was a boy, at Ellingham. Curiously," he added with another smile, "these things don't seem to have much weight. But no! I had no papers when I landed here." "How did they come into your possession, then?" asked Mr. Millington-Bywater.
That those papers belonged to the missing Lord Marketstoke there is no doubt, but your possession of them at present does not prove that you are Lord Marketstoke or Lord Ellingham. They may have been stolen!" The claimant rose from his chair with a good deal of dignity. He glanced at Methley. "I do not see that any good can come of this interview, Mr. Methley," he remarked in quiet, level tones.
Another murmur of intense and excited interest ran round the court as the witness handed the letter up to the magistrate, who, after looking it over, passed it on to the counsel below. They, in their turn, showed it to Mr. Carless, Mr. Pawle and Lord Ellingham, Mr.
It was one night when Miss Wickham was out you were at Mrs. Murray-Sinclair's, my dear and Mr. Ashton and I dined alone. He asked me if I remembered the famous Ellingham case, some years ago something about the succession to the title he said he'd read it in the Colonial papers. Of course, I remembered it very well." "Well, ma'am," said Mr. Pawle, "and what then?"
"We could have told you that once for all, if you had come to us in the first instance," remarked Mr. Driver. "Any other idea is out of the question. It seems to me most remarkable that such a notion as that which you suggest should ever enter your head, sir. If you are Earl of Ellingham, you are!" "And that reminds me," said Mr. Carless, "that there is another question I should like to ask.
I shouldn't have mentioned it to you two gentlemen if it hadn't been for this dreadful news in the papers. No, I've kept my thoughts at home." "Wise woman!" said Mr. Pawle. "But now let me ask you a few questions. Did you know this Lord Marketstoke before he disappeared?" "I only saw him two or three times," replied the landlady. "It was seldom that he came to Ellingham Park, after his majority.
They had dragged the body in, and then faced each other. Ellingham was for calling the police at once and surrendering, but she had kept him away from the telephone. She maintained, and I think it very possible, that her whole thought was for the children, and the effect on their after lives of such a scandal. And, after all, nothing could help the man on the floor.
You needn't be afraid of Carless," he added as they began to climb the stairs. "Carless is quite a pleasant fellow and he has with him a very amiable young gentleman, Lord Ellingham, of whom you needn't be afraid, either." "And why is Lord Ellingham, whoever he may be, there?" inquired Miss Wickham. "Lord Ellingham is also interested in your late guardian," replied Mr. Pawle.
