Because Jenny knew folk went mad and then recovered. So she was pretty cheerful again afore she alighted off the train at Okehampton; and then she hired a trap down to the 'White Hart' hotel, and drove out to Meldon Quarry with a fine trust in her Maker. She left the trap in the vale and climbed over a fence and began to look about her.
It's a wretched hole of a place. I don't advise you to stop there long." "I'm not staying there at all. I'm driving straight on to Ballymoy." "If you're at all familiar with Ballymoy, I expect you've heard of me. My name's Meldon, the Reverend J. J. Meldon, B.A. I was curate of Ballymoy once, and everybody who was there in my time will be talking about me still.
So the sergeant, who wanted to do the best he could for the peace of the town, went down to the house again after he had his dinner ate, and two constables along with him, and asked the girl that does be with Mr. Simpkins " "Sabina's red-haired cousin," said Meldon.
The Major was uneasily conscious that his attire was in strong contrast to Meldon's shabby jacket and wrinkled trousers. "I don't suppose," said Meldon, "that there's another man in the whole world who could go on dressing himself up like that Sunday after Sunday in a place like Ballymoy. However, the habit will turn out beneficial for once.
"There's a foundation of truth in the statement," said Meldon, "but it has been very much exaggerated." "It's what I didn't think Sabina would do, for she was always a quiet, decent girl, with no harm in her." "Don't run away with the idea that Sabina has done anything wrong," said Meldon, "for she hasn't.
Then he took Major Kent by the arm, dragged him to his feet, and set off at a rapid pace across the island. "J. J.," said the Major, "these plans of yours are all very well, and of course I'm not going to interfere with them, but I don't see any necessity for being actually rude to Miss King. She strikes me as being a very nice girl." "I am disappointed in Miss King," said Meldon.
He wrote off a note to the District Inspector complaining of the sergeant. But the D.I. had more sense than to take any notice, knowing well that if there's an apple in the place the gossures will get it, and small blame to them." "Sensible man," said Meldon. "When Simpkins got no satisfaction out of him," said Doyle, "he wrote to the County Inspector. I can tell you he took mighty little by that.
J. J. Why? What has the poor woman done?" "It's not so much what she has done," said Meldon, "that makes me think she'd be a suitable match for Simpkins. It's what she will do. She'll murder him." "Nonsense." "It's not nonsense. She will. She told me herself that she has come to Ballymoy for the express purpose of murdering another husband.
I see your difficulty now, Major, and I quite admit there's something in it, or appears to be something in it to a man like you who doesn't understand the legal point of view." "No point of view can alter facts," said the Major, "supposing they are facts, which of course they're not." "Yes, it can," said Meldon.
"It was nothing but just an idea that came across my mind," said the doctor. "It may be only that," said Meldon, "but it may be more. The proper person to judge of its importance is me. You must have frequently observed, doctor, that the man to whom an idea occurs is not by any means the best judge of its value. Sometimes he thinks too much of it. Take Galileo, for instance.
