I think Mr Sharnall's teapot is the best, and I will get out the silver sugar-tongs and one of the spoons with the `J' on them." As Miss Joliffe was taking up the tea, she met Westray in the hall. He had just come back from the church, and was not a little concerned at his landlady's greeting.
It might have been, she thought, that he was a great friend of Mr Westray, and had been sorry to think that his room should be littered and untidy as Mr Sharnall's certainly was, and so was glad when he found out his mistake. "Mr Westray's room is at the top of the house," she said deprecatingly. "It is no trouble to me, I assure you, to go up," he answered.
"Yes, it has a good many interesting features," Westray answered; "you know its history, of course I mean that it was an old inn." He had turned round as his companion turned, and for an instant thought he saw something moving behind the blind in Mr Sharnall's room.
It was all over now, yet every day Westray found himself making a mental note to tell this to Mr Sharnall, to ask Mr Sharnall's advice on that, and then remembering that there is no knowledge in the grave. The gaunt Hand of God was ten times gaunter now that there was no lodger on the ground-floor.
