'I think nothing so ridiculous, protested Sir Harry, testily. 'You talk as if you did, though, retorted George, smartly. 'I thrashed that Jentham beast for insulting Mab, but I didn't shoot him. 'But the pistol is yours. 'I admit that, but Good Lord! cried Captain Pendle, starting to his feet. 'What now? asked Brace, turning pale and cold on the instant. 'Gabriel! Gabriel!
'I tell you it was! he almost shouted, although this conversation took place in a quiet corner near the cathedral, and thereby required prudent speech and demeanour. 'Didn't Dr Pendle meet Jentham on the common? 'We presume so, sir, but as yet we have no proof of the meeting. 'At least you know that he paid Jentham two hundred pounds.
'Such information is utterly useless, he said gravely, 'and the people with whom Amaru alias Jentham associated then are doubtless all dead by this time. 'Well, Miss Whichello didn't mention any of his friends, sir, but I daresay it wouldn't be much use if she did. Beyond the man's former name and business as a fiddler she told me nothing.
I have considered it in every way but, God help me! I can see no hope no escape. Alas! alas! I am sorely, sorely tried. Graham reflected. 'Are you perfectly certain that Jentham and Krant are one and the same man? he asked doubtfully. 'I am certain of it, replied Pendle, decisively. 'I could not be deceived in the dark gipsy face, in the peculiar cicatrice on the right cheek.
'Bell ses he did, replied Mr Mosk, 'but I went over to Southberry in the arternoon about a little 'oss as I'm sweet on, so I don't know what he did, save by 'earsay. Bell, on being questioned by the inspector, declared that Jentham had loitered about the hotel the greater part of Sunday, but had taken his departure about five o'clock.
Jentham, he come 'ere to patter the calo jib and drink with us. He said as he had to see some Gentile on that night! La! la! la! she piped thinly, 'an evil night for him! 'On Sunday night the night he was killed? 'Yes, pretty one. The Gorgio was to give him money for somethin' he knowed. 'Who was the Gorgio? 'I don' know, lovey! I don' know!
Will you take something to drink, if I may make so bold, Mr Cargrim? 'No, my friend, no; thank you all the same, and with a nod Cargrim pushed his way into the coffee-room to see the man with the scar. Mr Cargrim found a considerable number of people in the coffee-room, and these, with tankards and glasses before them, were listening to the conversation of Jentham.
On these grounds, Mr Inspector, I assert that Dr Pendle gave Jentham two hundred pounds. Tinkler again took up his pen. 'Memo, he set down, 'to ask his lordship if he helped the so-called Jentham with money. If so, how much? 'As you know, resumed Baltic, with deliberation, 'Jentham was shot through the heart, but the pistol could not be found.
His remarks to the jury equally stupid, with the exception of Jobson were to the effect that it was evidently impossible to find out who had killed Jentham, that the man was a quarrelsome vagabond who probably had many enemies; that no doubt while crossing the common in a drunken humour he had met with someone as bad as himself, and had come to high words with him; and that the unknown man, being armed, had no doubt shot the deceased in a fit of rage.
'Jentham! repeated Cargrim, as he walked homeward. 'Now, I wonder if I'll find that name in the bishop's cheque-book. When Mr Cargrim took an idea into his head it was not easy to get it out again, and to this resolute obstinacy he owed no small part of his success. He was like the famous drop of water and would wear away any human stone, however hard it might be.
