"He said certainly that he was going to find you," said Campbell. "There is no need for speculating," said Valencia quietly; "my sister has a note from Mr. Vavasour at Pen-y-gwryd." "Pen-y-gwryd?" cried both men at once. "Yes. Major Campbell, I wish to show it to you." Valencia's tone and manner was significant enough to make Claude Mellot bid them both good-night.
He covers his face in his hands, and shudders in every limb. He lifts his hands from his eyes at last: what has befallen? Before the golden haze a white veil is falling fast. Sea, mountain, lake, are vanishing, fading as in a dream. Soon he can see nothing, but the twinkle of a light in Pen-y-gwryd, a thousand feet below; happy children are nestling there in innocent sleep.
Claude saw that something had gone very wrong; Campbell ate nothing, and looked nervously out of the window every now and then. At last Bowie entered with the letters and a message. There were two gentlemen from Pen-y-gwryd must speak with Mr. Mellot immediately. He went out and found Wynd and Naylor. What they told him we know already. He returned instantly, and met Campbell leaving the room.
Owen disconsolate by their announcement, that a sudden fancy to sleep on the Glyder has seized them. Nothing more will they tell her, or any one; being gentlemen, however much slang they may talk in private. Elsley left the door of Pen-y-gwryd, careless whither he went, if he went only far enough.
He was nearing the head of the watershed; soon he saw slate roofs glittering in the moonlight, and found himself at the little inn of Pen-y-gwryd, at the meeting of the three great valleys, the central heart of the mountains. And a genial, jovial little heart it is, and an honest, kindly little heart too, with warm life-blood within.
"If I employ every detective in Bow Street, I will find him." "Wait, only wait, till the post comes in to-morrow. He will surely write, if not to her, wretch that he is! at least to some of us." "If he be alive. No. I must go up to Pen-y-gwryd, where he was last seen, and find out what I can."
