Parfitts and Co. grabbed it eh? Or was it that fellow Warner..." "I I don't know," she said quite scared by the twitching of his lips. "Don't know!" he exclaimed softly. Hadn't her cousin told her? Oh yes. She had left them of course. Why did she? It was his first question about herself but she did not answer it. She did not want to talk of these horrors. They were impossible to describe.
Oxford had said "I fancy they might give you pleasure" appeared to indicate something very much out of the common. And Priam could scarcely recollect when last his eyes had rested on a picture that was at once unfamiliar and great. Parfitts' Galleries I have already indicated that the machine was somewhat out of the ordinary. It was, as a fact, exceedingly out of the ordinary.
He had seen on a beaten copper plate under the archway these words: 'Parfitts' Galleries. He was in the celebrated galleries of his former dealers, whom by the way he had never seen.

Whitney Witt was implacably set against Parfitts, because he was convinced that Mr. Oxford had sought to take advantage of his blindness. There he was, conducting his action regardless of his blindness.
Now I've got no professional use for mysteries, and I came to the conclusion that I'd better just let this one alone. So I did." "Well, why didn't you keep on leaving it alone?" Priam asked.
