The gown was of a peculiar shade of grey, and by her easy, swinging gait and the graceful carriage of her head Walter Fetherston instantly recognised that there before him, all unconscious of his presence, was the girl he believed to be still in Sicily Enid Orlebar! He looked again, to satisfy himself that he was not mistaken.
That is the latent factor at the root of my problem. The innate rottenness, the cardiac villainy of James Orlebar Cloyster. In a measure it was my own hand that laid the train which eventually blew James' hidden smoulder of fire into the blazing beacon of wickedness, in which my friend's Satanic soul is visible in all its lurid nakedness.
You were bound to keep up appearances, and, in order to do so, got into the hands of Eli Moser, the moneylender. You married Lady Orlebar, and had entered London society when, of a sudden, the scoundrelly usurer began to put the screw upon you.
I have given up my rooms in Rupert Street. I sleep in a bed. I do Sandow exercises. I am always down to breakfast at eight-thirty sharp. I smoke less. I am the happiest man on earth. Narrative Resumed by James Orlebar Cloyster O perfidy of woman! O feminine inconstancy! That is the only allusion I shall permit to escape me on the subject of Eva Eversleigh's engagement to that scoundrel Julian.
This move is intentional, eh? He has served our purpose, and you now deem it wise that er disaster should befall him across the Channel, eh?" The doctor smiled in the affirmative. "And the girl you spoke of, Enid Orlebar?" "The girl will share the same fate as her stepfather," was Weirmarsh's hard response. "We cannot risk betrayal." "Then she knows something?" "She may or she may not.
It was true that the man had found a white feather but he had also learnt that when Enid Orlebar had arrived at Hill Street she had been wearing a white feather boa! "It is not curious, after all," he said reflectively, "that the police should have dismissed the affair as a death from natural causes. At the inquest no suspicion whatever was aroused.
"The facts of poor Harry's death," she repeated hoarsely, as though speaking to herself. "Why recall them? Oh! why recall them?" THE countenance of Enid Orlebar had changed; her cheeks were deathly white, and her face was sufficient index to a mind overwhelmed with grief and regret. "I asked you to explain, because I fear that my information may be faulty.
I am Margaret Goodwin. A week from today I shall be Mrs. James Orlebar Cloyster. It is just three years since I first met James. We made each other's acquaintance at half-past seven on the morning of the 28th of July in the middle of Fermain Bay, about fifty yards from the shore. Fermain Bay is in Guernsey. My home had been with my mother for many years at St. Martin's in that island.
Barker declares that his master sent him out on an errand instantly on his return, and that when he came in he found him dying." "Did he not explain what the errand was?" "No; he refused to say." In that refusal Fetherston saw that the valet, whatever might be his fault, was loyal to his dead master and to Enid Orlebar.
I am in no way associated with James Orlebar Cloyster, nor do I wish to be. Rather I would forget his very existence. You are aware of the interests which I have at heart: social reform, the education of the submerged, the physical needs of the young there is no necessity for me to enumerate my ideals further.
