I have been engaged to watch you, and am fully posted as to your meetings and correspondence with the Rev. J.T. Calthorpe." "I don't understand you," the lady said, her cheeks flaming. "You have made a mistake a very serious mistake for you." For a moment Kelson's heart failed.
Everything is ready, and all we've got to do is to wait till twelve. Sit down." They did as they were bid. Presently the cat, forsaking its sanctuary, and ignoring Curtis's solicitations, glided across the floor, and climbing on to Kelson's knee, refused to budge.
"I don't see what they can have found out away from this house," he said, rousing himself by an effort to answer; "and they don't seem to have been here lately." "Well, we shall see," Kelson said casually. "Ah, here comes Dick back again." Morriston hurried in with a serious face. In answer to Kelson's, "Well, Dick?" he said.
It had, in view of Gifford's commission from Miss Morriston, been arranged that he should share Kelson's rooms at the Golden Lion, no longer as a guest, so that both men were now independent of each other. The date of Kelson's wedding seemed now likely to be put off for some months, as his friend had suggested.
There was a brief period of suspense, which seemed to me an hour long, the dead silence broken only by the cheery ring of Kelson's voice giving his orders with a promptness and decision which was sweet music to my ears.
For I am hoping to have her here a good deal with me, even if she marries." A police inspector accompanied by a detective and a constable now arrived. Morriston took them into the room of death. Gifford grasped Kelson's arm. "I don't think there is any use in our staying here," he suggested. "Let us go down." The other man nodded, and they began to descend. "You are not going, Kelson?"
"This will lower my temperature," he said to himself. "I shall know if I'm dreaming." He then sat by Kelson's side and observed what he wrote. "The properties of walking on the water, and of breathing under the water are conferred on you during the forthcoming stage. You must refrain from red flesh and alcohol, but may eat poultry, fish, fruit, and vegetables in abundance." "The devil I may!"
Host Dipper has had another telegram of inquiry from the brother, but had nothing to tell him in return." Kelson's face became grave. "It really does begin to look serious," he remarked. "Yes; Dipper has been interviewing the police on the subject." "Has he? Well, I only hope Henshaw has not been playing the fool, or worse, and caused all this fuss for nothing."
Kelson seemed to pull himself together by an effort. "No yes; I caught a glimpse of him, I think, with a girl in green." "You know who she was?" Henshaw demanded. "I've not the vaguest idea," Kelson answered mechanically. "I did not see her face." Henshaw rose. Perhaps from Kelson's manner he gathered that the men were tired, and had had enough of him.
Satan, demonstrating his resentment of their treatment of him, at every turn, knocked over a water bottle, ripped the skin of Kelson's knuckles, and made his teeth meet in the fleshy part of Curtis's thumb. "Hulloa! what are you up to?" Curtis savagely demanded, as Hamar thrust a cup at him. "Hold your hand over it!" Hamar said sharply. "Don't suck it!
