And in my experience of this place ten years it's a bad thing to meddle in Hathelsborough affairs. Too many vested interests, sir! Certainly amongst some people Mr. Wallingford was not at all popular. But murder!" "There are plenty of people who don't stick at that," remarked Brent. "But you wanted information. I'll give you some."
Because there aren't twenty people in Hathelsborough who would buy such a book. Hathelsborough people don't care twopence about the history of their old town all they care about is money. This case is a proof!" "I think we'll get back to the case," said Meeking, amidst a ripple of laughter. "Well, we may consider you as the greatest living expert on Hathelsborough anyway, Dr.
This man followed Mallett from Hathelsborough to Clothford one morning, and from Clothford station to the Royal County Hotel, where, in the lounge, he was joined by Mrs. Saumarez, who had been previously pointed out to the agent here in Hathelsborough, and who had evidently cycled over to Clothford.
Jeaveson about it, sir, and showed him what I meant. He discussed the matter with Mr. Polford afterwards, and it was decided that I should go over to Hathelsborough and see Mr. Hawthwaite, taking the machine with me." "Did you do that?" "Yes, sir, next day, in the evening." "Did you tell Superintendent Hawthwaite of your discovery and hand the machine to him?" "Yes, sir; both."
Lawrence Lane," he remarked. "But I want some formal evidence about it that can be put on the record. I see Mr. Krevin Crood there I believe Mr. Crood is as big an authority on Hathelsborough as anybody living perhaps he'll oblige me by coming forward." Krevin Crood, sitting at the front of the densely-packed mass of spectators, rose and walked into the witness-box.
"I'll represent the Castle Ward, and now that I'm a burgess of Hathelsborough I'll be Mayor some old time." "Not yet, though," said Queenie. "They're going to elect a new Mayor to-morrow. In place of your cousin of course." Brent started. Nobody had mentioned that to him. Yet he might have thought of it himself of course there must be a new Mayor of Hathelsborough. "Gad!
Everybody of any note in Hathelsborough was present; Brent particularly observed the presence of Mrs. Mallett who, heavily veiled, sat just beneath him. He looked in vain, however, for Mrs. Saumarez; she was not there. But in a corner near one of the exits he saw her companion, Mrs. Elstrick, the woman whom Hawthwaite had seen in secret conversation with Krevin Crood in Farthing Lane.
"Perhaps by then you can give me more news, Mr. Superintendent? Murdered! The Mayor of Hathelsborough! Now that's something that's unique in the history of the town, I believe. I was looking over the records not so long since, and I don't remember coming across any entry of such an event as this. Unparalleled!" Hawthwaite made no reply.
I'm just going to bury my cousin quietly and privately, without maces and furred robes and violet gowns. So you can just tell 'em politely nothing doing!" "But my dear sir, my good Mr. Brent!" expostulated the visitor. "The Mayor of Hathelsborough! The oldest borough in the country! Why, our charter of incorporation dates from "
He was part and parcel of the high tradition, a reminder of the fact that Hathelsborough possessed a Charter of Incorporation centuries before its now more popular and important neighbouring boroughs gained theirs, and in his own opinion the discontinuance of his symbols of office would have been little less serious than the sale of the Mayor's purple robe and chain of solid gold: Spizey, thus attired, was Hathelsborough.
