Instructed by Viner, who was determined to spare neither effort nor money to clear his old schoolmate, Felpham had engaged the services of one of the most brilliant criminal barristers of the day, Mr. Millington-Bywater, on behalf of his client; and he and Viner had sat up half the night with him, instructing him in the various mysteries and ramifications of the case.
"Don't doubt it for one moment and a cool, calculating hand, too!" declared Felpham. "A man who knew what he was doing. How long do you suppose it would take to strike the life out of a man and to snatch a few valuables from his clothing? Pooh! to a hand such as this evidently was, a minute. Then, he walks calmly away. And who is he? But we're not doing badly."
I see your point, sir to introduce the idea that there's more to this than the police think." When the two callers had gone, Mr. Pawle turned to Viner. "Now, my friend," he said, "you've already sent your own solicitor to Hyde, haven't you? Who is he, by the by?" "Felpham, of Chancery Lane," replied Viner. "Excellent man! Now," said Mr.
No a dozen folk could come into this yard at night and we shouldn't hear 'em we sleep at the front of the house." Viner slipped some silver into the greengrocer's hand and led Felpham away. And when they reached a quieter part of the district, he pulled out the papers which he had picked out of the corner in the shed and held them in front of his companion's eyes.
"I don't think you need be particularly alarmed about this," he said to the weeping sisters. "Cheer up, till I return I am going round to the police." Near the police-station Viner fell in with his solicitor, Felpham, who turned a corner in a great hurry. Felpham's first glance showed his client that their purposes were in common.
"He is much much younger than ourselves, and perhaps we are too staid and old-fashioned for him. But if we had known that he was in want! Oh, dear me, we are not at all well-to-do, Mr. Viner, but we would have sacrificed anything. Mr. Felpham says that we shall be allowed to visit him he is going to arrange for us to do so.
"Seen that paragraph in the evening papers?" said Felpham without preface. "By George! that's serious news! What a pity that Hyde ever made that statement about his doings on the night of the murder! It would have been far better if he'd held his tongue altogether." "He insisted on it in the end," answered Viner. "And in my opinion he was right. But you think this is very serious?" "Serious?
He motioned Felpham to follow, and going outside, turned in the direction of the Harrow Road. "I'm going to have a look at the place where these things were found," he said. "Come with me. You see for yourself," he continued as they walked on, "how ridiculous it is to suppose that Hyde planted them. The whole affair is plain enough, to me.
Felpham wants you at the telephone, sir," she said. Events had crowded so thick and fast upon Viner during the last day or two, that he went to the telephone fully expecting to hear of some new development. But he was scarcely prepared for his solicitor's first words. "Viner!" said Felpham, whose voice betrayed his excitement. "Is that man Cave still with you?" "No!" answered Viner. "Why?"
Milnes, drank tea with us once, as they were very ambitious of being presented to Mr. Hayley, and their conversation and great musical powers were justly appreciated by him. "The next year I repeated my visit to Felpham, and found the Moncktons at Bognor, with their brother and sister, Viscount and Viscountess Galway. The latter were eager to make Mr.
