Carless," observed Methley, with some stiffness of manner, "there is no need for such a suggestion." "I dare say we shall all see a good deal of your client before this matter is settled, Mr. Methley," retorted Mr. Carless. "And even when I have seen a lot of him, I should still say the same he may have stolen them! What else has he to prove that he's what he says he is?"
The Homeric lore which Methley exhibited in the Troad, is curiously illustrated by an Eton story, that in a pugilistic encounter with Hoseason, afterwards an Indian Cavalry officer, while the latter sate between the rounds upon his second's knee, Savile strutted about the ring, spouting Homer.
And now it was that my eyes were greeted with a delightful surprise. Whilst we were at Constantinople, Methley and I had pored over the map together. We agreed that whatever may have been the exact site of Troy, the Grecian camp must have been nearly opposite to the space betwixt the islands of Imbros and Tenedos, “Μεσσηyυς Τενεδοιο και Ιμβρου παιπαλοεσσης,”
"And Lord Ellingham believed that Methley and Woodlesford were genuinely convinced by him." "Seemed so, anyway, both of 'em," agreed Lord Ellingham. "However," continued Mr. Carless, "Methley and Woodlesford, like you and I, Pawle, are limbs of the law. They asked two very pertinent questions. First why had he come forward after this long interval?
And I saw Ashton's picture in the paper but then there are so many elderly men of that type broad features, trimmed grey beard! Dear me, dear me! A very pleasant, genial fellow. I'm astonished, Mr. Viner." Viner resolved on a bold step he would take it without consulting Mr. Pawle or anybody. He drew Methley further aside. "Mr. Methley," he said.
Whether he was going to reveal the truth as to what I have just told you, we don't know probably he was. But he was murdered, and we all know when and where. And I say he was murdered for the sake of these very papers which we now know were produced to Methley and Woodlesford by this claimant. Now, then " Mr. Carless suddenly bent forward. "A moment, Pawle!" he said.
What was produced to us just now by Methley and Woodlesford was a selection the probability is that there are other and more important papers in the hands of the murderer, whose cat's-paw or accomplice this claimant, whoever he may be, is. I believe," concluded Mr. Pawle, with emphasis, "that my conclusions will be found to be correct ones, based on indisputable fact."
Methley's compliments, and if agreeable to you, he can bring his client on to see you this afternoon at once, if convenient." Mr. Carless looked at Mr. Pawle, and Mr. Pawle nodded a silent assent. "Tell Mr. Methley it's quite agreeable and convenient," answered Mr. Carless. "I shall be glad to see them both at once. Um!" he muttered when the clerk had withdrawn. "Somewhat sudden, eh, Pawle?
"Never!" answered the witness. "I never revealed it to a living soul until I told my solicitor there, Mr. Methley, after my recent arrival in London." "But of course, whoever stole your letters and so on, would discover, or guess at, the truth?" suggested Mr. Millington-Bywater. "Oh, of course, of course!" said the witness. "Well as I was saying, I did nothing except to keep an eye on the papers.
He was aware that legal proceedings were taken as regards the presumption of his death and the administration of the estates; he was also aware of the death of his younger brother and that title and estates were now in possession of his nephew His Lordship there. In fact, he was very well up in the whole story, according to Methley and Woodlesford," said Mr. Carless, with a smile.
