These, belonging to the old Rexton estate, had not yet been rooted up by the builder, and there ran a path through the heart of the miniature wood leading to the station. When quite screened from observation by the friendly leafage, Juliet turned quickly. She was pale and ill in looks, and there were dark circles under her eyes which told of sleepless nights.
Caranby was infatuated with her. To be sure, he got engaged to spite Selina, and she really did treat him badly, but I believe Miss Saul such a horrid Hebrew name, isn't it hypnotized him. He forgot her almost as soon as she died, in spite of his ridiculous idea of shutting up that house. And such valuable land as there is at Rexton too.
A railway embankment bulked against the horizon, and closed the view in an unsightly manner. Rexton was as ugly as it was new. Losing her way, Susan came to the ragged fringe of country environing the new suburb, and paused there, to take in her surroundings. Across the fields to the left she saw an unfinished mansion, large and stately, rising amidst a forest of pines.
Jennings read the note with a thoughtful look, then laid it aside and stared at his friend. "It is strange that she should write in that way," said he. "I should have thought she would wish to learn who killed her aunt. What does she mean?" "I can't tell you. I met her to-day," and Cuthbert gave details of his visit to Rexton and the interview with Juliet.
She refused to go, so Basil and I went. But the play was so dull that Basil left early, saying he would come back for me." "Do you know where he went?" "No. He did not say. Well, the play became worse instead of better. I was weary to death, so I thought as the theatre was near Rexton, that I would go and see Aunt Selina. Then I hoped to return to the box and meet Basil.
"Oh, Emily, I've had such a splendid sail. It was glorious. Bad Emily, you've been carrying water. Didn't I tell you never to do that when I was away?" "I didn't have to do it. That young minister up at Rexton met me and brought it up. He's nice, Lynde." Lynde's brow darkened. She turned and walked away to the house without a word.
I did love her, Cuthbert. I did all in my power to prove my love. For a time I was engaged to her, and when she expressed a wish that I should build her a house after her own design, I consented." "The house at Rexton!" exclaimed the young man. "Exactly. I got an architect to build it according to designs suggested by Selina.
"Oh, and by the way, will you allow me to go over that house of yours at Rexton?" "If you like. Are you a ghost-hunter also?" "I am a detective!" whispered Jennings quietly, and with such a look that Caranby became suddenly attentive. "Ah! You think you may discover something in that house likely to lead to the discovery of the assassin." "Yes I do. I can't explain my reasons now.
"I certainly did wear such an overcoat. I was with Caranby before I went to Rexton, and knowing his room would be heated like a furnace, I took every precaution against cold." Juliet doubted this, as she knew Mallow did not coddle himself in any way. However, she had seen the overcoat too often to mistake to whom it belonged.
I went to explore the unfinished house on behalf of Lord Caranby. I was ghost-hunting. Do you remember how you asked me next day why I wore an overcoat and I explained that I had a cold " "Yes. You said you got it from sitting in a hot room." "I got it from hunting round the unfinished house at Rexton. I did not think it necessary to explain further." Juliet put her hand to her head.
