Then came the labourer who discovered the bones at Sidcup, and who repeated the evidence that he had given at the inquest, showing that the remains could not have been lying in the watercress-bed more than two years. Finally Dr. Summers was called, and, after he had given a brief description of the bones that he had examined, was asked by Mr. Loram: "You have heard the description that Mr.
Derrick shook his hand until Sidcup winced, and they both laughed like a couple of boys. "Congratulate you! I should think I do!" said Derrick. "I wish you could have heard my wife just now, expressing her admiration for yours. She is more beautiful than ever." "Oh, well," said Sidcup, with a modest pride; "come to that, you've got a beauty too.
Derrick liked the man; for, notwithstanding his harmless vanity, he was a decent sort, and the courage he displayed in his performance won Derrick's admiration. Sidcup came in and stood beside the bunk, and looked down at Derrick with a grim countenance, and he did not offer to shake hands. "You're better, Green?" he said. "Do you think you're well enough to have a little talk?
And if you're the straight man I think you, you'll do it, for her sake I won't say for mine." Derrick rose painfully on his elbow. "By Heaven, Sidcup," he said, in the stifled voice of a man who is deeply moved, "you're a good chap; and, if I go, it will be for your sake. I'd rather cut this hand off than come between a man and the girl he loves."
I thought I detected a slight twinkle in Thorndyke's eye, but he answered quite gravely: "I think I can give you the particulars from memory, though I won't guarantee the dates. The original discovery was made, apparently quite accidentally, at Sidcup on the fifteenth of July.
"I wanted to get you away for a moment, to tell you that it's all right," said Sidcup, colouring a little and looking just a trifle embarrassed, and yet with a tone of pride in his voice. "Isabel and I have fixed it up. Yes; we were spliced before we left South America. It's all right, old boy! Congratulate me!"
"Mind, I don't admit the truth of your your statement; but, if I did, there are reasons " "There's another woman," said Sidcup, drawing a long breath. Derrick's pale face flushed. "There are reasons why I can't marry any woman, Sidcup," he said. "No, I can't tell you them, but you can take it from me that they exist.
They seem to have been making a systematic search, and the result has been that they have discovered several portions of the body, scattered about in very widely separated places Sidcup, Lee, St. Mary Cray; and yesterday it was reported that an arm had been found in one of the ponds called 'the Cuckoo Pits, close to our old home." "What! in Essex?" I exclaimed.
So it happened that while Sidcup, for instance, who was the principal acrobat and trapeze man, lolled through his day with a pipe in his mouth, and only lending an occasional hand, when necessity compelled him, Dene was in request everywhere.
On the fifteenth of July last there were discovered at Sidcup the remains of a human arm a left arm, gentlemen, from the hand of which the third, or ring, finger was missing.
