Also, he wished to judge for himself as to the girl's clever mind and modesty and common sense, all of which natural gifts Gabriel had represented her as possessing in no ordinary degree. Therefore, on the very afternoon when trouble was brewing against Mosk in the Beorminster Police Office, the bishop of the See took his way to The Derby Winner.
That Mosk should have been arrested while Dr Pendle was making his inquiries was a pure coincidence, and it was greatly to the bishop's credit that he had helped to secure the murderer. In fact, Mrs Pansey was not very sure but what he had taken the wretch in charge with his own august hands. And the bishop himself?
'I think, Mrs Pansey, we may regard this man as a dangerous character. 'I shouldn't be surprised to hear he was an Anarchist, said Mrs Pansey, who knew nothing about the man. 'Well, Mrs Mosk, I hope we've cheered you up. I'll go now. Read this tract, bestowing a grimy little pamphlet, 'and don't see too much of Mr Pendle. 'But he comforts me, said poor Mrs Mosk; 'he reads beautiful.
Certainly, such reformation did not please Mr Mosk over-much, and he frequently grumbled that it was hard a man should have his trade spoilt by a psalm-singing missionary, but a wholesome fear of Cargrim's threat to inform Sir Harry checked him from asking Baltic to leave.
But Baltic, wary old fellow as he was, would not permit this without due formality. He had the governor of the gaol brought to the cell, and Mosk with a laugh signed the confession which condemned him in the presence of two witnesses. The governor took it away with him, and again left Baltic and the murderer alone. They eyed one another. 'Now that I know all began Baltic.
Mr Mosk, a lean light-weight, who wore loud check suits, tight in the legs and short in the waist, was the presiding deity of this Inferno, and as the Ormuz to this Ahrimanes, Gabriel Pendle was the curate of the district, charged with the almost hopeless task of reforming his sporting parishioners. And all this, with considerable irony, was placed almost in the shadow of the cathedral towers.
'I saw her myself, for I was down near the police-station the other evening on one of my visits to the poor. There, while returning home by the dead-house, I saw that hussy of a Bell Mosk making eyes at a policeman, and I recognised Miss Whichello for all her veil. 'Did she wear a veil? 'I should think so; and a very thick one.
A qualm as of deadly sickness seized Dr Pendle, and he started from his chair with a pale face and a startled eye. 'What do you you you mean, man? he asked again. Mosk laughed scornfully, and lugging a packet of papers out of his pocket flung it on the table. 'That's what I mean, said he; 'certif'cate! letters! story! Yer wife ain't yer wife; Gabriel's only Gabriel an' not Pendle at all!
'To to really, I feel most embarrassed, said the chaplain. 'I should not have taken 'Answer at once, sir, cried Dr Pendle, irritably. 'To whom is my son Gabriel engaged? I insist upon knowing. 'In that case, I must tell your lordship that Mr Gabriel is engaged to marry Miss Bell Mosk! The bishop bounded out of his chair. 'Bell Mosk! the daughter of the landlord of The Derby Winner?
It's the danger I'm thinking about. 'Danger! What do you mean? Danger from whom? 'From Mrs Pansey; from Mr Cargrim. She guesses a lot and he knows more than is good for either you or I. I don't want to lose my character. 'Bell! no one dare say a word against your character. 'I should think not, retorted Miss Mosk, firing up. 'I'd have the law on them if they did.
