It proved his innocence as nothing else could have proved it. Lady Janet drew back a step utterly bewildered; completely at a loss what to say or what to do next. The silence that followed was broken by a knock at the library door. The man-servant with news, and bad news, legibly written in his disturbed face and manner entered the room.
Miss Celia's last words made her brother unbend his brows, for he longed to get at his books again, and the idea of being tutor to his "man-servant" did not altogether suit him. "I'll tool him along at a great pace, if he will only go.
There is a man-servant here who gets 5 to 6 pounds a month, apparently to do nothing, as he is the only one on the premises who can afford to be idle and smoke his pipe of peace; but servants are so difficult to get in this country, and our host being on the move, having got a better Government appointment at Perth, is anxious not to change now, so, like everybody else, puts up with anything.
"Are you quite sure that it was the man-servant you saw looking through the door yesterday afternoon?" It was proof of the fallibility of human testimony that Mrs. Pendleton had sincerely convinced herself that she was quite sure. "Yes," she said. Barrant looked doubtful. By reason of his calling he was well aware of the human tendency to unintentional mistake in identity.
At his summons, the postern door flew open, and a man-servant in plain livery stood at the second entrance. "Madame la Marquise?" Peter Ruff asked.

The violent shock and strain had induced an attack of mental and spiritual depression which amounted to prostration, and he lay on his sofa taking no notice of the days as they slipped by, eating little and speaking to no one. At first Jones, his man-servant, was not particularly disturbed. He had brought Dartmouth up, and had come to look upon his moods as a matter of course.
Rawlinson's; so that there are three dead in all, the wife, a man-servant, and mayde-servant. Home to dinner, where sister Balty dined with us, and met a letter come to me from him. He is well at Harwich, going to the fleete.
It was enough to make any one howl with horror, for it was all so hideous. I managed to raise a broad smile for the benefit of the hotel keeper by way of congratulating him on his good taste, but I was petrified on recognising the man-servant of my friends the Th brothers of Pittsburg. They had sent this monstrous caricature of the most beautiful thing in the world.
