'Master John Horseleigh, Knight, who had a'most as much lond by inheritance of his mother as 'a had by his father, and likewise some by his wife. Why, bain't his arms dree goolden horses' heads, and idden his lady the daughter of Master Richard Phelipson, of Montislope, in Nether Wessex, known to us all? 'It mid be so, and yet it mid not.
By this time, no Old Bailey lawyer making a hanging speech could have had more command of his task. ''Ere then we 'ave' he checked the items off on his fingers 'box locked up key in the 'ouse as fits it, unbeknown to John money tuk out key 'idden away. But that's not all not by long chalks there's another side to the affair haltogefher.
For a whole week we tried to find that money, and couldn't, and Bill said it was a suspicious thing that Jimmy kept aft a good deal more than 'e used to, and 'e got an idea that the boy might ha' 'idden it somewhere there.
"Fact is," said Beale, with an air of great candor, "it's 'is cleverness does me. It ain't as I'm silly about 'im but 'e's that clever." "I 'ope 'e's clever enough to do wot 'e's told. Keep 'is mug shut that's all." "He's clever enough for hanythink," said Beale, "and close as wax. 'E's got a silver toy 'idden away somewhere it only pops for a bob and d'you think 'e'll tell me where it's stowed?
Then there was a blurred line where the ink had run, with only a letter or two distinct at intervals. Then half a blank line, and then, very much blurred and obscure, more resembling a row of blots than so much writing: "e as idden sum whare for sertane." Another line all blotted and indistinct; then: "umble Suvvent, Wun oo nose."
The guv'nor's a sharp one, 'e is, but I was fly too; 'e always keeps me short, grumbles 'cause I won't let myself be exploited by the capitalists; but I did 'im this time. I 'ad a good old-fashioned nose round whilst the guv'nor left me in charge whilst 'e went for a drink, and I found ten bob the old girl 'ad 'idden away in a broken teapot, so I just pocketed 'em.
"They're doin' of it for the pictures." The idea gained instant popularity. "Jear that? It's a fillum!" "Wot o', Charlie!" "The kemerer's 'idden in the keb." "Wot'll they be up to next!" A red-nosed spectator with a tray of collar-studs harnessed to his stomach started another school of thought. He spoke with decision as one having authority. "Nothin' of the blinkin' kind!
"But I 'aven't got the money," ses Isaac; "it was all sewn up in the lining of the coat. I've on'y got about five shillings. You've made a nice mess of it, Ginger, you 'ave." "You're a silly fool, Ginger, that's wot you are," ses Peter. "Sewn up in the lining of the coat?" ses Ginger, staring. "The bank-notes was," ses Isaac, "and three pounds in gold 'idden in the cap. Did you pawn that too?"

She looked up at him without a word. "It's something 'idden," he said, after a pause. "That's what it is." "That's it," agreed Mrs. Horton. "Like a recipe." There was another pause. The butler broke it. They stood together in the middle of the field, flowers and birds and sunshine all about them. "A mystery inside of us," he said, "I think " "Yes, Alfred," the cook murmured softly.
