The larger one was doubtless that on which Carson Wildred's house was situated; the smaller one a mere alley of water, leading away under a drooping tangle of willow and chestnut branches one had to pass in walking from Purley to the House by the Lock. I was sure, as I recalled the place in memory, that the scene of the discovered mystery could have been no other than this.
But they had not ridden more than a hundred yards, and had but just reached the four cross-roads, when they were both startled by a shrill "Whist!" They drew their reins, and looked around just as the head of a negro boy emerged from the bushes, exclaiming "Hallo, Marster!" "Who are you? What do you want?" demanded Purley. "I'm Bill, and I don't want nothing. But I know what you want!"
An effort to be admitted to the Bar was unsuccessful; and in 1786 he published his Diversions of Purley, a work on philology which brought him great reputation, and which, containing muck that has been proved to be erroneous, showed great learning and acuteness.
They put up at this hamlet, which was called Dunville, and which boasted one tavern kept by an old Revolutionary pensioner called Purley. Here also Lyon Berners gave his name as Howe, and here again he and his wife were destined to be told all about the murder.
It was already very dense twilight when we struck southward from Purley. Suburbs and things on the London border may be, in most cases, commonplace and comfortable.
Purley accompanied his charge to her bedroom, which, to his perplexity, he found to have two doors; the one opening upon the upper hall, and the other communicating with an adjoining vacant chamber.
While she did so, Munson again spoke to Mr. Berners. "You have your pocket compass?" "Yes." "Then I advise you to use it as soon as it is light, to direct your course. And do not go toward the east, for old Purley will pursue you in that direction, under the impression that you will try to reach another seaport town, and get off in a ship.
"Oh! your honour, we a'nt his Lordship's tenants no longer; there's been a change for Purley Mill, and now we're Lord Mounteney's people. John Conyers has been behind-hand since he had the fever, but Mr.
I wonder whether you would tell me, as a special favour, what address?" The constable looked at him. "Yes," he said slowly, "if you like. His address is: The Elms, Buxton Common, near Purley, Surrey." "Thank you," said Rupert, and ran home through the gathering night as fast as his legs could carry him, repeating the address to himself.
I would go, I decided, almost immediately, lunching at the nearest decent inn to Purley Lock, and turning up at Wildred's house at four or five in the afternoon. I would spend an hour there, perhaps, and return to town in time for dinner. I had not got up particularly early, had breakfasted late, and by the time I was inclined to start it was past one o'clock.
