There's a mortgage of twelve thousand on that place now; you pay your ten, and 6 per cent, on the rest that's something a little more than sixty dollars a month and then you clear off your loan, or not, as suits you!

It was served in a room at the farther end of the hall, and at the table, which was laid for three, Ford found a man already seated. Prothero introduced him as "my associate," but from his presence in the house, and from the fact that he was an American, Ford knew that he was Pearsall. Pearsall was a man of fifty. He was tall, spare, with closely shaven face and gray hair, worn rather long.
Mistaking him for a burglar, I killed him. The kitchen window will be found open, with the lock broken, showing how he gained an entrance. Why not?" he demanded. "Because," protested Pearsall, in terror, "the man outside will tell " Ford shouted in genuine relief. "Exactly!" he cried.
These roads, which parallel each other from Lake Superior to the Pacific, have been held by the courts, in the case of Pearsall vs. the Great Northern Railway, to be competing lines.
Believing Ford to be in the secret service of the police, he was now only too anxious to clear himself of suspicion by telling all he knew. It was but little.

Pearsall HAS been in this hotel!" He handed another spill to Cuthbert. "From that one," said Ford, "we get the date, December 3.
Pearsall's preserved peaches, a great box of grapes to be made into jelly, and a basket of tomatoes. Bert said that she was a grafter, but he knew as well as she that Nancy's pleasure in taking the gifts had given Mrs. Pearsall a genuine joy. With none of the emergencies they had dreaded, and with many and unexpected pleasures, the first winter went by.
Girl well known, extremely popular, lived Dalesville until last year, when went abroad with uncle, since then reports of melancholia and nervous prostration, before that health excellent no signs insanity none in family. Be careful how handle Pearsall, was doctor, gave up practice to look after estate, is prominent in local business and church circles, best reputation, beware libel."
The cabman remembered Pearsall, and having driven him to the Langham, for the reason that immediately after setting him down there, and while "crawling" for a fare in Portland Place, a whistle from the Langham had recalled him, and the same luggage that had just been taken from the top of his cab was Put back on it, and he was directed by the porter of the hotel to take it to a house in Sowell Street.
