Only Royal, of the Belvoir tan head and the sad, discerning eyes, made any attempt to uphold the honour of England before the watching village. "You can't expect everything," said the Governor after breakfast. "We got it, though everything except foxes. Have you seen May Queen's nose?" said the Inspector. "And Mystery's dead. We'll keep 'em coupled next time till we get well in among the crops.
"And here's to the new employee," said Helen. This also was dispatched, Aubrey draining his glass with a zeal which did not escape Miss Chapman's discerning eye. Roger then put out his hand for the Dickens. But first he picked up his beloved Cromwell. He looked at it carefully, and then held the volume close to the light. "The mystery's not over yet," he said. "It's been rebound.
When he looked from the picture again Little Mystery's eyes were open and gazing up at him. He dropped the picture and made a lunge for the pan of cream warming before the fire. The child drank as hungrily as before, with Pelliter babbling incoherent nonsense into her baby ears. When she had done he picked up the photograph, with a sudden and foolish inspiration that she might understand.
Among the details that added to the mystery's bulk was the sound of another new but familiar voice the voice of the competent Miss Gardner, her discharged secretary.
"I believe that woman was Little Mystery's mother," Pelliter went on. "She couldn't bear to leave the little kid when she went with Blake, so she took her along. Some women do that. And after a time she died. Then Blake took up with an Eskimo woman. You know what happened after that. We don't want Little Mystery to know all this when she grows up. It's better not.
"I scarcely think you have any right to say that; but I'll confess that I'm wavering in my opinions Prescott's return has had its effect on me. In fact, the mystery's getting deeper and more fascinating; I feel impelled to wait and see it unraveled." "That is hardly the way to regard it," his wife rebuked him. "I would rather remember that the Jernynghams have a strong claim on our sympathy."
"But me no buts, my Pugh! The mystery's exploded! One more ghost is lost to the world! The person from whom I obtained that pipe was an Indian juggler up to many tricks of the trade. He, or some one for him, got hold of this sweet thing in reptiles and a sweeter thing would, I imagine, be hard to find and covered it with some preparation of, possibly, gum arabic. He allowed this to harden.
Until you know him, you think he loves mystery for mystery's sake. It isn't that at all. He just doesn't trust us. He trusts nobody!" "But that hardly seems fair to us..." began Desmond. "It's merely a precaution," replied Barbara, "the Chief takes no risks. I've not the least doubt that he has decided to tell you nothing whatsoever about your part until you are firmly settled in your new role.
And then the next thought came, wiping out the memory of the first. "But there is nothing here to help Johnny Montgomery nothing at all!" The maid's voice broke upon my bewilderment, harsh and grating. "Will the Señorita walk up-stairs?" I turned to her in increasing amazement. What might this mean? Was I after all to find my mystery's clew?
But in two days from now, I can tell you more. In the meantime remember your promise!" He let his visitors out then, and went back to Mary. "You'll not have to wait long for things to clear," he said. "The mystery's nearly over!"
