Brook, the farmer; while as 'Doria, next morning, he comes to you at Dartmouth to tell you the murderer of Michael Pendean has reappeared. "One may easily imagine the joy that he took in this double impersonation and how easy it was, with the help of his wife, to fool you to the top of your bent.
He felt full of suspicion and half believed her indifference regarding Doria to be assumed. He guessed that she would be jealous to give no sign until the days of her mourning were numbered, but he felt a melancholy conviction that when another summer was passed, Jenny Pendean would take a second husband.
Neither Bendigo nor dear Albert had set eyes on him; and that fact, though of no significance at first, of course, became very significant indeed at a later stage of my study. "I went first to Penzance and devoted several days to learning all possible particulars of the Pendean family.
When Milly knocked with his hot water and drew up his blind, she judged that nobody could appreciate the event better than a famous detective. "Oh, sir such a fearful thing " she began. But he cut her short. "Now, Milly, don't talk shop. I haven't come to Dartmoor to catch murderers, but to catch trout. What's the weather like?" "'Tis foggy and soft; and Mr. Pendean poor dear soul "
The best that one can hope is that the unfortunate man may come back to his senses and give a clear account of everything. And may I ask what you design to do and if it is in my power to serve you personally in any way?" Jenny Pendean showed surprise at this question. She lifted her face to Brendon's and a slight warmth touched its pallor. "That is kind of you," she said. "I will not forget.
The lady seems to have given cause for a certain amount of scandal, for her Latin temperament and lively ways did not commend themselves to the rather austere and religious circle in which her husband and his relations moved. "She visited Italy sometimes and Joseph Pendean undoubtedly regretted his marriage.
The latter instantly volunteered and rejoiced in the opportunity to seek adventure. He joined a cavalry regiment and invited Michael to do the same; but my husband, though no more patriotic man lives I must speak still as though he lives, Mr. Brendon " "Of course you must, Mrs. Pendean we must all think of him as living until the contrary is proved." "Thank you for saying that!
His tender sensibilities could not admire such indifference; and no doubt he also remembered that his niece's early record, in marrying Pendean against her family's wishes, too much reminded him of her father's wilful ways and headstrong passions. "But they come on their dark business and are welcomed; and then an insensate act of folly! The weak spot in their remorseless plan!
"Meanwhile a false atmosphere is created under which he proceeds to his engagement at 'Crow's Nest. And then what happens? The first clue the forged letter, purporting to come from Robert Redmayne to his brother. Who sent it? Jenny Pendean on her way through Plymouth to her Uncle Bendigo's home. She and her husband are soon together again working for the next stroke.
I was the fool to trust you and had no excuse for doing so. You were not to be trusted for a moment just then, and I ought to have known it. 'Twas our limited capability that made you err, that made me err, that made Michael Pendean err. The best laid plans of mice and men you know, Mark.
