Cargrim listened eagerly in the hope of hearing something definite, and Jentham gathered himself together for further denunciation of the bishop, when round the corner tripped two women, towards whom his drunken attention was at once attracted. With a hoarse chuckle he reeled towards them. 'Come along m' beauty, he hiccuped, stretching out his arms, 'here's your haven. Wine and women!
'In that case I must go away, replied Cargrim, seeing he was beaten, 'and I thank you, Miss Mosk, for your politeness. By the way, he added, as he half returned, 'will you tell that gentleman with the scar on the cheek that I wish to see him also? 'Seems to me you wish to see everybody about here, said Bell, scornfully. 'I'll tell Mr Jentham if you like. Now go away; I'm busy.
It is foolish to show half-finished work. 'But if the mur 'Hold hard, sir! interrupted Baltic, raising his head. 'I'll so far depart from my rule as to tell you one thing whosoever killed Jentham, it was not Bishop Pendle. Cargrim grew red and angry.
And who can say that she was acting wrongly? 'Yes, Mr Cargrim, she repeated, looking him directly in the face, 'Mrs Pansey is right. I was at the dead-house and I went to see the corpse of the man Jentham. I suppose you and Mrs Pansey wonder why I did so?
Now the missionary was not going to confide in this official thick-head regarding Cargrim's suspicions of the bishop, which had led him to connect the pistol with the prelate; so he evaded the difficulty by explaining that as the lent money was a link between the bishop and Jentham, and the initials on the pistol were those of his lordship, he naturally fancied that the weapon belonged to Dr Pendle, 'although I will not go so far as to say that I suspected him, finished Baltic, smoothly.
Now that Jentham, alias Krant, was dead, the secret was known to three people only namely, to the bishop, to himself, and to Gabriel. If none of the three betrayed it and they had the strongest reason for silence no one else would, or could.
On putting the question to him, it appeared that the weapon was his property 'The devil! 'But that he had lent it to Mr Gabriel Pendle to protect himself from roughs when that young gentleman was a curate in Whitechapel, London. 'Well, I'm d blessed! ejaculated Tinkler, with staring eyes; 'so Mr Gabriel killed Jentham! 'Don't jump to conclusions, Mr Inspector. Gabriel Pendle is innocent.
And he knew all about my wife, Graham about her family, her maiden name, the amount of her fortune, her taking up parish work in Marylebone. Above all, he showed me the certificate of his marriage, and a number of letters written to him by Amy, reproaching him with his cruel desertion. Oh, there can be no doubt that this Jentham is or rather was Stephen Krant.
'It is a resort of bad characters, I fear, sighed Cargrim, 'and Mrs Mosk, being an invalid, is not able to keep them away. 'What about the landlord, Mr Cargrim? 'Aha! replied the chaplain, turning towards Mrs Pendle, who had asked this question, 'he is a man of lax morals. His boon companion is a tramp called Jentham!
Jentham, in his cups, several times boasted that he was about to receive a large sum of money from an unknown friend on Southberry Heath, and on one occasion went so far as to inform Mosk of the time and place when he would receive it. He was thus confidential when very drunk, on Mosk reproaching him with not paying for his board and lodging.
