With nature's woman, if he can find her, the urban seems equally at home, said Lady Dunstane. 'Baron Pawle is an example, added Whitmonby. 'His cook is a pattern wife to him. I heard him say at table that she was responsible for all except the wines. "I wouldn't have them on my conscience, with a Judge!" my lady retorted.
But if he gets showing it to other people, in public places what?" "Just so!" asserted Mr. Pawle. "Sheer tempting of Providence! I'm amazed! But how did you get to know Mr. Ashton and to hear of this diamond? Did he come to you?" "Called on me at my office," answered Mr. Van Hoeren laconically. "Pulled out the diamond and asked me what I thought it was worth.
You see how she is described Avice Wickham Cave-Gray, daughter of, et cetera, et cetera. And here is his death certificate that too is all in order.

The clerk came on, however, laid the card before his employer, and whispered a few words to him. "A moment, then I'll ring," said Mr. Pawle. He turned to his two companions as the clerk retired and closed the door, and smiled as he held up the card. "Here's another man who wants to tell me something about the Ashton case!" he exclaimed.
No, sir; all the efforts and advertisements were no good whatever, and after some time some considerable time the younger brother, the Honourable Charles Cave-Gray " "Cave-Gray?
