Mrs. Fitzhugh had found the message. "'Paul died yesterday. Heart disease," she read. "'Wire at once if Louise is with you. You see, Miss Innes, Louise must have started east, and Fanny is alarmed about her."
I noticed that he looked tired and dusty, and, although he was ordinarily impeccable in his appearance, it was clear that he was at least two days from a razor. "It won't be long now, Miss Innes," he said. "I have come out here on a peculiar errand, which I will tell you about later. First, I want to ask some questions.
Innes had given him for an exercise which he wrote in blank verse instead of in prose an achievement of which the school-master was proud, both from his reverence for Milton, and from his inability to compose a metrical line himself. And how and when he should ever possess another penny was even unimaginable. Shargar's shilling was likewise spent.
