Brendon; and that's what only Robert Redmayne can tell us by the look of it." The detective nodded. Then he sought No. 3, Station Cottages. The little row of attached houses ran off at right angles to the high street of Princetown. They faced northwest, and immediately in front of them rose the great, tree-clad shoulder of North Hessory Tor.
He was not voluble, as Howard had expected. He was overcome with deference, and seized with a desire to bow in all directions at the smallest civility. He sat next to the Vice-Master, and Mr. Redmayne treated him to an exhibition of the driest fireworks on record. Mr. Sandys assented to everything, and the number of times that he exclaimed "True, true! admirably said!" exceeded belief.
He was very superstitious, as sailors often are, and not until Jenny had seen and spoken with her uncle, did Bendigo believe that a living man wanted to see him." "The fact that it was actually Robert Redmayne and no ghost is proved by that incident, Ganns," added Mark Brendon. "That the man who came to 'Crow's Nest' was in truth Robert Redmayne we can rest assured through Mrs.
And he's going to be busy in consequence; but we've got to be busier. What he and his accomplice propose to do is to destroy Albert Redmayne in such a way that they are not associated with his death; and what they will do, if we let them, is to act as they have already acted in England. Albert would disappear and we might or might not be invited to look upon his blood; but we shouldn't see him.
To the last place he sent a special direction and told Inspector Halfyard to visit Mrs. Gerry at Station Cottages and make a careful examination of the room which Robert Redmayne had there occupied. A sense of unreality impressed itself upon Mark Brendon after this stage in his inquiry.
That seems improbable and one can't easily imagine a sudden row so tremendous that it ends in murder. "Redmayne was a big, powerful man and he may have struck without intention to kill; but this mess means more than a blow with a fist.
Assunta told them how an Italian had reached the steps in a skiff from Bellagio; how he had called her and broken the evil news that Signor Poggi was fallen dangerously ill; and how he sent entreaties to his friends to see him without delay. "Virgilio Poggi has had a fatal fall and is dying," said the messenger. "He prays Signor Redmayne to fly to him before it is too late."
"What shall you do and where may I count upon finding you if I want you, Mrs. Pendean?" he asked presently. She looked at Redmayne, not at Brendon, as she answered. "I am in Uncle Bendigo's hands. I know he will let me stop here for the present." "For keeps," the old sailor declared. "This is your home now, Jenny, and I'm very glad to have you here.
Redmayne, his niece, and Giuseppe Doria; and while Albert, Italian fashion, embraced Mr. Ganns and planted a kiss upon his cheek, Jenny greeted Mark Brendon and he looked once more into her eyes. There had come new experiences to her and they did not fail of the man's observation.
But if I go without leading him to feel any very grave suspicion as to my object in going, we may surprise him before his own stroke is struck. That, in a word, is our objective." An hour later the detectives saw Signor Poggi to his boat and then walked home with Mr. Redmayne.
