The general character and dimensions of the bones seem to suggest a middle-aged man of about your brother's height, and the date of deposition appears to be in agreement with the date of his disappearance." "Is it known, then, when they were deposited?" Mr. Bellingham asked. "In the case of those found at Sidcup it seems possible to deduce an approximate date.
"I'll go and see what is the proprietor's name?" "Bloxford. Bloxford's Mammoth Circus; the largest on Earth; see Press notices. But, of course, you know," replied Mr. Sidcup, with some surprise. "The old man's all right, as you'll find. Curious customer; but knows his business. He's not much to look at; but he's a devil to work, and he's a born manager.
Green," said Sidcup, who had not joined in the congratulations and admiration of the rest. "All right," said Derrick. "Be with him in a moment." He went in search of Jackman, and found him, with a bottle of whisky, just outside the men's quarters. He looked up and snarled as Derrick approached him. Derrick took the bottle from him, and then looked down at him with an air of doubt and uncertainty.
"You appear," said he, "to be confusing the order of deposition with the order of discovery. What evidence is there that the remains found at Sidcup were deposited before those found elsewhere?" "I don't know that there is any," I admitted. "Then," said he, "I don't see how you support your suggestion that the person started from the neighbourhood of Eltham."
"At the very moment when my client's case seemed almost hopeless, some human remains were discovered at Sidcup. I read the account of the discovery in the evening paper, and, scanty as the report was, it recorded enough facts to convince me that the inevitable mistake had been made." "Did it, indeed?" said Mr. Jellicoe. "A mere, inexpert, hearsay report!
Sidcup noticed her little action, and his face darkened. At this moment Mr. Bloxford's hand waved towards him; his turn had come, and he sprang into the ring with the acrobat's conventional bow and gesture. After trying his ropes carefully, he swarmed up to the trapeze; the music of the band slowed down, and became impressive.
"I tell you that it's your fancy, that you exaggerate " "She's one of the most beautiful women God ever made," said Sidcup, ignoring Derrick's remonstrance, "and no man could resist for long such a woman, especially when she's gone on him, as Isabel is on you. Yes, there's only one thing for you to do, and that is to clear out as soon as you're able.
"Yes, and there's another reason," said Sidcup, with a shake of the head. "Isabel's not the only one; there's Alice." Derrick's eyes shone angrily now. "Oh, go to blazes!" he said. "You're out of your mind; you'll be telling me that all the blessed women in the company " "Well, we'll let her go," said Sidcup, "though it's the truth. What are you going to do?"
The black horse, with its magnificent rider, came through the opening, and Derrick, as he caught the bridle, looked up and nodded his congratulations. Sidcup approached also, and began to praise her; but she merely glanced at him. Her eyes fixed themselves on Derrick, and she rested her hand on his shoulder for a moment as she slipped from her horse.
He found that the women were rather nervous, for they had heard of the fate of the last circus; but they, too, were encouraged by his cool and easy manner and the few words of cheer which seemed to come so easily to him. The early turns went well, especially those of Isabel, Alice, and Sidcup. Sidcup's was followed by an exhibition of bareback riding by two men.
