I suspected it was a good deal in the mood of another bachelor, an Anglo-American Caleb of to-day Mr. Logan Pearsall Smith, whose whimsical "Trivia" belongs on the same shelf. This morning I tried to argue myself out of the decision.
From the nearest post-office he sent to his paper the following cable: "Query our local correspondent, Dalesville, Kentucky, concerning Dosia Pearsall Dale. Is she of sound mind, is she heiress. Who controls her money, what her business relations with her uncle Charles Ralph Pearsall, what her present address.
"He's an American gentleman, and there was a lady with him. She ordered a riding-habit of us: the same time he was measured for his clothes." After a short delay, the voice from the hotel replied that no one of the name of Pearsall had been at the hotel that winter. In apparent great disgust Ford rang off, and took a taxicab to his rooms in Jermyn Street.
J. Pearsall in 1851. It did good service for several years, and was then sold. It is now used as a blacksmith shop. The second church, the present respectable edifice, was built in 1858 by Rev. D. Stansbury, and was dedicated by the late Dr. T.M. Eddy. The Parsonage was built by Rev. D.O. Jones in 1862. Rev.
On the evening of the third day, while Pearsall was absent, a call from him had come for her by telephone, on receiving which Miss Dale had at once left the hotel, apparently in great agitation. That night she did not return, but in the morning Pearsall came to collect his and her luggage and to settle his account.
On the other hand, without knowing why the girl believed Pearsall would be found at Gerridge's, it was reasonable to assume that in so thinking she had been purposely misled. The question was, should he or not dismiss Gerridge's as a possible clew, and at once devote himself to finding the house in Sowell Street?
Allowing three weeks for the newspaper to reach London, Pearsall must have seen it just three weeks ago, just when Miss Dale says he was in the hotel. The landlord has lied to me." Ford rang for a waiter, and told him to ask Mr. Gerridge to come to the smoking-room. As Cuthbert was leaving it, Gerridge was entering it, and Ford was saying: "It seems you've been lying to the police and to me.
Sandy had inquired, youthful interest in her eye. "There's no such thing," her mother assured her positively, "as getting one who knows her business! And why? Why, because all the smart girls prefer to go into factories, and slave away for three or four dollars a week, instead of coming into good homes! Do Pearsall and Thompson ever have any difficulty in getting girls for the glove factory?
Having arranged my monthly report, I presented it to the monthly meeting of our asylum association. I retired weary, and awoke to see Dr. Pearsall about to leave my room. He was giving directions to my two anxious daughters. To my surprise my son-in-law remarked, "Mother is so much better, I will return home."
The man, who believed Ford to be an agent of the police, was only too happy to escape on such easy terms. After Ford had given him a pound on account, they parted. From Wimpole Street the amateur detective went to the nearest public telephone and called up Gerridge's Hotel. He considered his first step should be to discover if Mr. Pearsall was at that hotel, or had ever stopped there.
