Just so. H'm. I can assure you, then, that no such individual lives at the house we're speaking of." "No, but perhaps " "One moment. The Gildersleeves are a young married couple. With them lives an older lady " Greenacre paused, meditating. "The name of the missing man?" he added gently. "Fellow called Clover." "Clover clover? Clo "
Clifford continued, screwing up his small face with a very wise air, "is more than I can conceive; for I'm sure the Gildersleeves angled hard enough in their time to catch young Kelmscott, by hook or by crook, for their gawky daughter; and now that young Kelmscott telegraphs over to say he's coming home post haste to marry her, Miss Gwendoline faints away, if you please, as she reads the news, and the judge himself goes upstairs as soon as he gets home, and takes to his bed incontinently.
"I was just going to say ah, yes, to be sure, the Gildersleeves. Now I wonder, Gammon forgive me, I can't help wondering why this family interests you." "Oh, nothing. I came across the name." "Evidently." Greenacre's tone became a little more positive. "I'm sure you have no objection to telling me how and where you came across it."
"Gwendoline Gildersleeve," his father echoed, astonished; for there was feud between the families, "That rascally, land-grabbing barrister's daughter! Why, how on earth do you come to know anything of her, Granville? Nobody in Surrey ever had the impertinence yet to ask me or mine to meet the Gildersleeves anywhere, since that disgraceful behaviour of his about the boundary fences.
The punishment of his sin was too heavy for him to bear. How could he ever tell Emily now that Granville was gone? A horrible numbness oppressed his brain. Oh, mercy! mercy! his head was flooded. At the Gildersleeves', too, the house that day was alive with excitement. Gwendoline had thrown herself into a fever of alarm as soon as she had posted her letter to Granville Kelmscott.
His companion smiled cheerfully, looking at once more interested. "Gildersleeve! Why, yes, there was a boy of that name no, no; it was Gildersleeves, I remember. Any connexion with Quodling?" "Can't say. The people I mean live in Stanhope Gardens. I don't know anything about them." "Like to?" Gammon admitted that the name had a significance for him. A matter of curiosity.
