How did it come there? Was it ?" Gifford forced a smile. "My dear Harry, how absurd! What could that have had to do with it?" Kelson gave an uncomfortable laugh. "It is a grim coincidence," he said. At the inquest which was held next day nothing was elicited which could offer any solution of the mystery of Clement Henshaw's death.
As Gifford stayed, hesitating between a breach of good form and a legitimate desire to learn whether the girl was being subjected to unfair treatment, the sound of Henshaw's rather penetrating voice came into earshot, and a few seconds later they passed across the line of Gifford's sight.
"I should love to do something worthy of your gratitude," he responded, in a subdued tone. "You take a lower view of your service than I do," she rejoined as they reached the house, and no more could be said. At luncheon the improvement which their host had mentioned in Henshaw's attitude was strikingly apparent.
"Wait till a year from now, and we'll see about that third-person bugaboo you're worrying about. I'm not worrying now; so you'd better not!" On the day Cyril Henshaw's twins were six months old, a momentous occurrence marked the date with a flaming red letter of remembrance; and it all began with a baby's smile.
Dan had been out of town, an' immediately on his return he came to my office. "'How's business? I asked. "'Well, the ham war was a little hard on us, but we're picking up, says he. 'They're still selling hams way below a decent price over at Henshaw's. I don't see how they can do it. "'I do, I says. "'Please explain," says Dan.
It was near the end of the year, an' I happen to know that when Christmas came a little sack containing five hundred dollars in gold was delivered at Sam Henshaw's door for Lizzie from a source unknown to her. That paid for the nurse, an' eased the situation."
Henshaw's sharp scrutiny was immediately transferred from Morriston to his companions. "Can you, gentlemen, throw any light on the matter?" he asked sharply. "None at all, I am sorry to say," Kelson answered readily. "I may as well tell you how our very slight acquaintance with him came about." "If you please," Henshaw responded, in a tone more of command than request.
During Billy's very first lesson, as it chanced, Alice Greggory called and found Billy and Arkwright so absorbed in their game that they did not at first hear Eliza speak her name. The quick color that flew to Arkwright's face at sight of herself was construed at once by Alice as embarrassment on his part at being found tête-á-tête with Bertram Henshaw's wife. And she did not like it.
It made Gifford flush with anger to think that this lovely high-bred girl was being worried, probably being made love to, by a man of that objectionable type; for that she could be in that situation without coercion was not to be believed. The reason for Henshaw's prolonged and rather puzzling stay in the place was now accounted for.
"McTee," he said, "men step lively when you speak to them but they jump out of their skins when they hear White Henshaw's voice." "That's what I've heard," said the other dauntlessly, "but d'you think Campbell ever would have taken this chance if he didn't know you're not what you used to be?" For reply Henshaw set his teeth and dipped the pen into the ink.
