Faversham often found himself speculating eagerly upon it, and always with the query in the background "For whom is it all piling up?" As they left the silver room, Melrose had made the grim remark that the contents of that room alone would make it prudent to let loose an extra couple of bloodhounds in the park at night.
I say" he looked round him "we shan't be disturbed?" Faversham rose, gave a telephone order and resumed his seat. "Who do you think we've got staying at Duddon?" "I haven't an idea. Have a cigarette?" "Thanks. Has Melrose ever talked to you about his wife and daughter?" Faversham stared, took a whiff at his cigarette, and put it down. "Are you her to tell me anything about them?"
If I am the head of a bank I am responsible for its policy, but that doesn't mean that every local bank-manager should consult me about the solvency of clients I never heard of. Faversham keeps bleating to me that the state of India is dangerous. Well, for God's sake let him suppress every native paper, shut up the schools, and send every agitator to the Andamans. I'll back him up all right.
"Then I ought to felicitate you," said Jimmy. "Why," he asked quietly, "didn't you give me the opportunity earlier?" "Colonel Faversham didn't wish anybody to be told," she answered. "You are consequently not gratifying him by telling me now!" "No," said Bridget. "Why have you told me?" he demanded. "Oh well," she replied, "I felt that I wanted you to know that is the only reason."
See Pritchard's interesting History of Deal, p. 196. Jefferson's Almanack, 1892. Edith and Harold. I am reminded by the Rev. C. A. Molony that Goodnestone next Wingham or Godwynstone, and Godwynstone next Faversham, both referred to in Archaeologia Cantiana, are localities which probably commemorate the name of the great Earl of Kent.
He perceived that Carrissima the previous evening must have been attempting to influence him, and consequently that she already suspected his intentions. Now Colonel Faversham had often turned the matter over in his mind, with the result that he conceived a plan which, if it could only be carried successfully out, might obviate everything unpleasant. "Lawrence," he said, "is a good fellow.
"I am asked to send a selection of antique gems to the Loan Exhibition which is being got up by the 'Amis du Louvre' in Paris, after Christmas. I desire to send both the Arconati Bacchus and the Medusa in fact all those now in the case committed to my keeping." "I have no objection," said Faversham. But he had suddenly lost colour. "I can only send them in my own name," said Melrose slowly.
I could tell you the histories of those six, anyway, for generations. If it hadn't been for a fool of an agent of mine, your uncle would never have had the Arconati Bacchus." Faversham was silent evidently trying to feel his way through some induction of thought.
He had to pass on the way a splendid Nattier portrait of Marie Leczinska which had arrived only that morning from Paris, and was standing on the floor, leaning sideways against a chair, as Melrose had placed it himself, so as to get a good light on it. The picture was large. Faversham picked his way round it.
Then he seized the candle which he had himself blown out, lighted it from the candle at the far end of the table and held it up above his head so that the light fell clearly upon Faversham's face. He stood looking at Faversham for an appreciable time. Then he said quietly, "I will not fight you to-night."
