There was silence whilst a man might have told ten score. "The wings of the gulls flash like silver in the sunshine," ventured Dorothy. "So I have thought." A pause. "Thou art leaving us to-morrow." "That is why I have been watching the gulls for near an hour." "I don't understand." "Paignton Rob says that these white gulls are found all the world over.
If I hear nothing further, I go to Paignton this evening." "Why?" "To pursue my inquiry and see all those who know your uncle. It has puzzled me a little that he has not already been found, because a man suffering from such an upset of mind could make no successful attempt to evade a professional search for long. Nor, so far as we know, has he apparently attempted to escape.
"Little Timothy! or tropic suns have blinded my eyes," he cried. Jeffreys scanned the speaker's weather-stained face. "It's not Paignton Rob, surely?" "It's all that's left of him, Timothy." "Thou art shrunken." "And lopped, brother, lopped." "Spain?" "Inquisition." "Indies?" "Vera Cruz. Shall I introduce my friends?
A fine new ship is on Hayle bar, and another vessel is believed to be wrecked there also. Doubtless we have not yet heard of all the wrecks on the Cornish coast; but it is in the magnificent bay which includes Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham that the most terrible havoc has occurred. On Wednesday, about sixty sail were anchored in Torbay.
Strange to say, upon the day previous to his appearance, my wife had nearly prevailed upon me not to keep my engagement with Bendigo. She had learned that Robert was at Paignton and the danger of a meeting between him and me the possibility that he might visit his brother and recognize me was too considerable to risk.
Follow us, then, reader, in imagination, out of the gay watering- place, with its London shops and London equipages, along the broad road beneath the sunny limestone cliff, tufted with golden furze; past the huge oaks and green slopes of Tor Abbey; and past the fantastic rocks of Livermead, scooped by the waves into a labyrinth of double and triple caves, like Hindoo temples, upborne on pillars banded with yellow and white and red, a week's study, in form and colour and chiaro-oscuro, for any artist; and a mile or so further along a pleasant road, with land-locked glimpses of the bay, to the broad sheet of sand which lies between the village of Paignton and the sea sands trodden a hundred times by Montagu and Turton, perhaps, by Dillwyn and Gaertner, and many another pioneer of science.
Men be not so; they have strength denied to us, the weaker vessel." I was not thought on. The Queen moves a finger, and straightway thou art fashioning wings to take thee to the ends of the earth. 'Twas thy duty so to do, but why treat me as a chit or child of no account? Thy head was ever bobbing against that of Master Jeffreys, or pouring plans into the one ear of Paignton Rob.
He was glad to give Doria five shillings and leave him at the landing-stage. But none the less Giuseppe haunted his imagination. One might dislike his arrogance, or rejoice in his physical beauty, but to escape his vitality and the electric force of him was impossible. Brendon soon reached the police station and hastened to communicate with Plymouth, Paignton, and Princetown.
From Paignton on the following morning he proceeded to Plymouth and directed a strenuous and close inquiry. But he knew well enough that he was probably too late and judged with certainty that if Robert Redmayne still lived, he would no longer be in England. Next he returned to Princetown, that he might go over the ground again, even while appreciating the futility of so doing.
In the second case, he's a very cute bird indeed and the ride to Paignton and disposal of the corpse that all looked so mad was super-craft on his part. But, if alive, mad or sane, I'm of opinion he did what he said in his letter to his brother he meant to do, and got off for a French or Spanish port. So that's the next step for me to try and hunt down the boat that took him."
