Stafford and several members of Bassett Oliver's company had motored over from Norcaster and had succeeded in getting good places: there were half-a-dozen reporters from Norcaster and Northborough, and plain-clothes police from both towns. And there, too, were all the principal folk of the neighbourhood, and Mrs.
Though there was no literary review in England to say a word in favour of the forgotten poet at Northborough, there was one in Scotland.
Local newspapers busily printed these attractive items of public intelligence, and the consequence was that the cottage at Northborough was for some months quite besieged with visitors, all come to congratulate. Clare felt in no mood to give or receive compliments, and positively refused to entertain the stream of kind friends of whose friendships he had never before been aware.
There was such dire poverty within the pretty cottage at Northborough, that many a day its inmates had to go without a dinner; and to raise the money for paying the journey to London and back seemed sheer impossibility.

An elderly man who had been in conversation with the leading lady stepped forward.
There was clearly no harm in leaving the poet in his little cottage at Northborough, allowing him to tend his flowers, to listen to the song of birds, and to write verses to his Mary in heaven. Now as ever, he was as harmless and guileless as a child; he would not hurt the worm under his feet, and even in his most excited moods not an unkind word to those around him escaped his lips.
And, I say " here he came closer to the two managers and lowered his voice "that coast is very wild, lonely, and a good bit dangerous sharp and precipitous cliffs. Eh?" Rothwell clapped a hand on Stafford's arm. "You'd really better be off to Northborough," he said with decision. "You're sure to come across traces of him. Go to the 'Golden Apple' then the station. Wire or telephone me here.
