"It certainly suggests that there has been a good deal more activity than we were given to understand. But you see the importance of the affair. The inquest will be a sort of dress rehearsal for the Probate Court, and it is quite essential that we should have a chance of estimating the management." "Yes, I see that. But how are we to manage about the practice?" "We shall find you a substitute."
Caranby made a gesture to show that the matter was beyond his comprehension, and ascended the steps of the hotel. Jennings, deep in thought, walked away, wondering how he was to disentangle the skein which Fate had placed in his hand to unravel. That night the detective surveyed the situation. So far as he could see, he seemed no further advanced than he had been at the inquest.
"Seems as if he was playing it when it happened," Constable Grogan said. "That don't look much like suicide, sir." "I didn't say it was suicide." Grogan whistled. "You don't think " "I'm not thinking anything until after the inquest. All I say is that it's queer." Another aspect of the matter seemed to strike the policeman.
"The police, you dear child, and the reporters, and the photographers the flock of weird fowl which gathers from all points of the compass when the press gets hold of what is called 'a first-rate story, By midday I shall be in the thick of it. But, thank goodness, they will know nothing to draw them your way until the inquest takes place, and not even then if I can manage it."
Shackford's cousin had been offered by the board of selectmen for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party. Beyond this and the unsatisfactory inquest, the authorities had done nothing, and were plainly not equal to the situation.

But things cannot last always.
"The police are here," Miss Catheron went on, "and the coroner has been apprised. I suppose, they will hold an inquest to-morrow." Her aunt looked at her in surprise. The calm, cold tone of her voice grated on her sick heart. "Have you seen him?" she asked almost in a whisper. "Inez I fear I fear it is turning his brain."
On the days immediately following the publication of the evidence given at the inquest on Hester the outside world had made no sign. All England knew now why Richard Meynell had disappeared from the Arches Trial, only to become again the prey of an enormous publicity, as one of the witnesses to the finding and the perishing of his young ward.
There was a hideous commonplaceness in the tone which struck a chill to Stafford's heart. "No doubt there is always some one you want to kill. Now listen, Krool. You think you've got a hold over me over Mrs. Byng. You threaten. Well, I have passed through the fire of the coroner's inquest. I have nothing to fear. You have. I saw you in the street as you watched. You came behind me "
She stopped the cab at the gate, and said she'd pay the cabman then, which she did, though there was a little hankering about the fare, because at first she didn't seem quite to know where she wanted to be drove to. At the inquest it was giv' in evidence that she had been quarrelling at the Hero of Waterloo, and it was brought in jealousy.
