Brett answered with a smile: "Lord Fairholme and I have a sitting-room which we use in common, and which has already been the scene of many earnest conferences. Let us go there." "Now, who talks first?" Brett cried, once the door was fairly closed behind them. "I do," burst forth Fairholme. "My story will not take long to tell, and if I do not get it off my chest, I shall simply explode."
Indeed, the damage done by Lord Fairholme was but temporarily repaired, and no special precaution had been taken to fasten the place. All was quiet within. The first room they searched was empty. So was the second; but in a bedroom, the door of which was locked and required forcible treatment, an extraordinary sight met their eyes.
How do you like the feeling of making money?" "Well, I think it might grow on a man. What's your experience?" "Sometimes better than this morning, or I should hardly have been your neighbor at Fairholme." The two walked off together, leaving Duplay and Sloyd very amicable. Iver was thoughtful. "You did that well," he said as they turned the corner into Berkeley Square.
"But I alluded to my native rector meaning the rector of my native village, Auburn. 'Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain, as the gentleman called it." "That was not the name you mentioned to Mr. Fairholme. I do not recollect what name you gave, but it was not Auburn, nor have I ever heard of any such place." "Never read of sweet Auburn!" "Not in any geography or gazetteer.
"If you were told that he had bolted with a nondescript young woman, what would you say?" "Say!" vociferated Fairholme, springing up from the seat into which he had subsided, "I would tell the man who said so that he was a d d liar!" "Exactly. Of course you would!
But a dying mother's appeal would count with almost irresistible strength in such a case; and Harry was sure of being furnished with this aid. He came to Fairholme a day or two after Janie had talked with Bob Broadley. She was on the lawn; with her Mina Zabriska and a small, neat, elderly man, who was introduced to him as Mr Jenkinson Neeld.
So Marigny was left a second time on the steps of the hotel, while the cab which brought the Earl of Fairholme from the railway station took him back to it. The Du Vallon came panting from the garage, but the Frenchman sent it away again. Hereford was no great distance by the direct road, and he had already determined not to follow the tortuous route devised by Cynthia for the day's run.
His lordship has been a-damnin' everybody since two o'clock yesterday afternoon because a Miss Vanrenen, who had ordered rooms here, didn't turn up. She's on a motor tour through England, so I thought " "You have made no mistake. But are you quite sure that the Earl of Fairholme asked for Miss Vanrenen?"
In a few hours, at the least, you will be in the hands of the police, whereas, by reaching London to-night, you may be able to pacify the Earl of Fairholme. I can help, perhaps. I will say all that is possible, and my testimony ought to carry some weight." Medenham was thoroughly mystified.
"Two thousand winter, three five summer months now largely due to William Iver, Esquire, of Fairholme we shall pass Fairholme directly a wealthy gentleman who takes great interest in the development of the town." It was all Greek to the Major, but he nodded politely. Mina was looking about her with keen eyes.
