To the head of the firm of Palford & Grimby, who was not accustomed to lightness of manner, and inclined to the view that a person who made a joke took rather a liberty with him, his tendency to be jocular, even about himself and the estate of Temple Barholm, was irritating and somewhat disrespectful. Mr.
"That is really astute, but but what do you think, Palford?" Mr. Grimby turned to his partner, still wearing the shocked and disturbed expression. "I have been recalling to mind a circumstance which probably bears upon the case," said Mr. Palford. "Captain Palliser's mention of the portrait reminded me of it. I remember now that on Mr.
Temple Temple Barholm left the house taking a midnight train, and leaving no clue as to his where-abouts or intentions." "Disappeared! " said the duke. "Where has he been looked for?" The countenance of both Mr. Palford and his party expressed a certain degree of hesitance. "Principally in asylums and so-called sanatoriums," Mr. Grimby admitted with a hint of reluctance.
We mustn't go too far!" ejaculated Mr. Grimby, alarmedly. It shocked him to think of the firm being dragged into a case dealing with capital crime and possible hangmen! That was not its line of the profession. Captain Palliser's slight laugh contained no hint of being shocked by any possibilities whatever.
Grimby gave more than one dubious and distressed glance at Palford. "His interest was evident," remarked Palford, thoughtfully. "And unusual under the circumstances." For a moment he hesitated, then put another question: "Did he ever seem I should say, do you remember any occasion when he appeared to think that there might be any reason to doubt that Mr.
Grimby assisted to shorten the matter, "the American Temple Barholm apparently knew the fact, brought him here for that reason, and for the same reason kept him secreted and under restraint." "No! No!" cried Miss Alicia. "Never! Never! I beg you not to say such a thing. Excuse me I cannot listen! It would be wrong ungrateful. Excuse me!"
James Matthew Grimby from being published in sensational journalistic sheets! Professional duty demanded that the situation should be dealt with, that investigation should be entered into, that the most serious even if conservative steps should be taken at once. With regard to the accepted report of Mr.
His Grace tapped the gaiters with the slight ebony cane he held in his hand. "Is this " he put it with impartial curiosity "because the truth might be detrimental to our Mr. Temple Barholm?" "If you please, your Grace," Pearson made a firm step forward, "what is the truth?" "That is what Messrs. Palford & Grimby seem determined to find out. Probably only our Mr. Temple Barholm can tell them."
He was sharp enough, too, to keep his man hidden. I was the only person that saw him who could have recognized him, and I saw him by chance. Palford & Grimby require proof. We are in search of it. Servants will talk; but if you don't want to run the risk of getting yourself into trouble, don't make absolute statements."
"Well, I don't know about that," Hutchinson answered, "We've not known him long, but we know him pretty well. You come from London, don't you? "Yes. From Lincoln's Inn Fields." "Law?" grunted Hutchinson. "Yes. Of the firm of Palford & Grimby." Hutchinson moved in his chair involuntarily. There was stimulation to curiosity in this.
