'I mean to say that Krant did not die, that Jentham was Krant, and that when he called on my father he appeared as one from the dead. He is dead now, but he was alive when my mother became my father's wife. 'Impossible! Impossible! repeated Graham, who was ashy pale, and shaken out of his ordinary self. 'Krant died died at Sedan. Your father went over and saw his grave!
'I must answer myself, I see, continued Dr Pendle, after a short silence; 'you thought that because I met Jentham on the heath to pay him some money I murdered him in the viciousness of my heart. Why should you think so ill of me, my poor boy? Have I not stood in the place of your father? Have I not treated you as my own son? You know that I have.
'Besides! said he, expansively, 'what does Miss Whichello know? Only that the man was a violinist thirty years ago, and that he called himself Amaru. Those details don't throw any light on the murder, Mr Cargrim, sir. The chaplain mentally noted the former name and former profession of Jentham and shook his head.
This conduct, coupled with the fact of Jentham's allusion to Tom Tiddler's ground, and his snatch of extempore song, confirmed Cargrim in his suspicions that Pendle had visited London for the purpose of drawing out a large sum of money, and intended to pay the same over to Jentham that very night on Southberry Heath. With this in his mind it was no wonder that Cargrim preached a stirring sermon.
But I don't see why you calls him bad, sir. He pays his way. 'Oh, groaned Mrs Pansey, 'is it the chief end of man to pay his way? 'It is with us, mum, retorted Mrs Mosk, meekly; 'there ain't no denying of it. And Mr Jentham do pay proper though he is a gipsy. 'He's a gipsy, is he? said Cargrim, alertly.
'The villain! cried Captain Pendle; 'who is he? It was at this moment that, all danger being over, Cargrim judged it judicious to emerge from his retreat. He came forward hurriedly, as though he had just arrived on the scene. 'What is the matter? he exclaimed. 'I heard a scream. What, Captain Pendle! Miss Arden! This is indeed a surprise. 'Captain Pendle! cried Jentham.
Harry was not clever enough to understand the ethics of this conception, therefore he abandoned any attempt to do so, and treating Baltic purely as an ordinary detective, addressed himself to the task of arriving at the evidence which was said to inculpate Dr Pendle in the murder of Jentham.
Now that Dr Pendle was personally satisfied of the legality of his marriage, he had no hesitation in acquainting Baltic with his life-history, particularly as the man could obtain from Mother Jael an assurance, in writing if necessary, that Bosvile and Jentham were one and the same.
'I think you were over-careful, bishop. 'Graham, I tell you I was overcome with fear, not so much for myself as for those dear to me. You know how the most secret things become known in this city; and I dreaded lest my action should become public property, and should be connected in some way with Jentham.
'Is it your belief that the woman knows your secret? asked Graham. 'No. On consideration, I concluded that she knew a little, but not much at all events, not sufficient to hurt me in any way. Krant that is Jentham was of gipsy blood, and I fancied that he had seen Mother Jael, and perhaps, in his boastful way, had hinted at his power over me.
