It is true that my four friends were my chief in fact, almost my only creditors, but still, the debts existed, and had to be paid. "Now these four friends of mine named respectively Leach, Pitford, Hearn, and Jezzard were uncommonly clever men, though the full extent of their cleverness was not appreciated by me until too late.
Hearn he looked as if he was drunk. They got him into the boat and a rare job they had and Mr. Pitford, what was in the boat already, he pushed off. And then I popped my head in again, 'cause I didn't want them to see me." "Did they row to the steps?" "No. I put my head out again when they were gone, and I heard 'em row round the yacht, and then pull out towards the mouth of the harbour.
"The broken heel and the tear in the rubber sole, with the remains of the chequered pattern, make the identity practically certain." As the chairman made this statement I involuntarily glanced round to the place where Jezzard was sitting. But he was not there; neither he, nor Pitford, nor Leach. Taking advantage of the preoccupation of the Court, they had quietly slipped out of the door.
He said that he wanted to get home early, as his housekeeper was away and he did not like the house to be left with no one in it." This was the whole of Jezzard's evidence, and was confirmed by that of Leach and Pitford.
However, I agreed eventually, stipulating that I should be allowed to come home early, and I accordingly went. Hearn and Pitford were waiting in the boat by the steps for the yacht had been moved out to a buoy and we went on board and spent a very pleasant and lively evening. Pitford put me ashore at ten o'clock, and I walked straight home, and went to bed.
"I did not see him again until I met him last night on the yacht. Pitford called on me in the morning, and invited me to come and dine with them. I at first declined, for my housekeeper was going to spend the evening with her sister at Eastwich, and stay there for the night, and I did not much like leaving the house empty.
