A year or two later I read a notice in the Times that 'I, Ivor de Courcy Meadowcroft, of The Laurels, Middleston, Mayor-elect of the Borough of Middleston, hereby give notice, that I have this day discontinued the use of the name Peter Gubbins, by which I was formerly known, and have assumed in lieu thereof the style and title of Ivor de Courcy Meadowcroft, by which I desire in future to be known.
It only occurred to me in the bath this morning. Inspiring place, a bathroom. Well, it's this he told her on Monday morning, on his way to Middleston in the car." "Well?" "Well." "Sorry, Tony; I'm dense this morning." "In the car, Bill. And how near can the car get to Jallands?" "About six hundred yards." "Yes.
He hardly had time for a cup of tea, so that even if she had been in " Antony nodded absently. This was something new. Why did Mark go to Middleston the day before yesterday? But, after all, why shouldn't he? A hundred reasons unconnected with the death of Robert might have taken him there. He got up to go. He wanted to be alone alone, at least, with Bill. Mrs.
And on his way to Middleston, on some business or other, Mark stops the car, walks six hundred yards down the hill to Jallands, says, 'Oh, by the way, Mrs. Norbury, I don't think I ever told you that I have a shady brother called Robert, walks six hundred yards up the hill again, gets into the car, and goes off to Middleston. Is that likely?" Bill frowned heavily.
It occurred to Antony that Mrs. Norbury had come a long way from her opening statement that Mark and Miss Norbury were practically engaged. She was now admitting that dear Angela was not to be rushed, that dear Angela had, indeed, no heart for the match at all. "The day before yesterday. As it happened, dear Angela was out. Not that it mattered. He was driving to Middleston.
Cayley joined him at the window. "I've telephoned," he said. "They're sending an inspector or some one from Middleston, and the local police and doctor from Stanton." He shrugged his shoulders. "We're in for it now." "How far away is Middleston?" It was the town for which Antony had taken a ticket that morning only six hours ago. How absurd it seemed. "About twenty miles.
"A month or two later, again I happened to light upon a notice in the Telegraph that the Prince of Wales had opened a new hospital for incurables at Middleston, and that the Mayor, Mr. Ivor Meadowcroft, had received an intimation of Her Majesty's intention of conferring upon him the honour of knighthood. Now what do you make of it?"
I saw a notice once in the births, deaths, and marriages 'At St. Alphege's, Millington, by the Rev. Hugh Clitheroe, M.A., father of the bride, Peter Gubbins, Esq., of The Laurels, Middleston, to Emilia Frances, third daughter of the Rev. Hugh Clitheroe, rector of Millington." "Clitheroe Gubbins; what on earth has that to do with it? That would be Mrs. Gubbins: this is Lady Meadowcroft."
He smiled again and added, "Please forgive me if I seem to have taken a good deal upon myself, but I just happened to be handy as a mouthpiece for Cayley." He bowed to them and went into the house. "Well!" said Miss Norris dramatically. As Antony re-entered the hall, the Inspector from Middleston was just crossing into the library with Cayley. The latter stopped and nodded to Antony.
