We, accordingly, forthwith went on board. "Your name, sir," said the master, when I told him my object. "David Rexton," I replied. "Rexton! that is very extraordinary," he replied. "Why, that is the name of my other passengers." Oh! how my heart beat with strange, wild, fearful, yet hopeful emotions at these words. I should have fallen on the deck, had not the kind-hearted man supported me.
Alan Douglas had thought he knew all the girls in Rexton, but this lithe, glorious creature was a stranger to him. She stood with her hand on the head of a huge, tawny collie dog; another dog was sitting on his haunches beside her. She was tall, with a great braid of shining chestnut hair, showing ruddy burnished tints where the sunlight struck it, hanging over her shoulder.
I had to go down to Rexton to-day on his business, and put on a coat so as to avoid catching further cold. But why this room, Juliet?" "Father and Basil are in the drawing-room. They are talking of the murder, and I don't want to hear any more about it." "There are pleasanter things to talk about," said Mallow. "I knew Basil would come crammed with news. Has he told you "
I believe at one time Selina was engaged to him, but he was in love with a young lady called Miss Saul, who died unexpectedly." "I know," said Juliet; "and then Lord Caranby abandoned the house he was building at Rexton, and it has been shut up all these years. Aunt Selina told me the story. When I asked mother for details, she refused to speak." "Your mother is very firm when she likes."
I had to go to see the police about some matter, and I spoke to Inspector Twining of the Rexton district. He had on his desk a handkerchief and a few articles which had just been taken from a man who had been arrested for passing false coins." "Oh!" Jennings looked very interested, "go on." "This man was in one of the cells, and he is to be brought before the magistrate this morning.
Mother taught me so. I have never gone to church because Father would not allow me, and I could not go now in Rexton where the people talk about me so. Oh, I know they do you know it, too but I do not care for them. I know I'm not like other girls. I would like to be but I can't be I never can be now."
