So you may be certain that she is no longer at Sihasset. The picture you have, Your Excellency, is the picture of the Grand Duchess, not of me. It happened that, as I was walking outside the gates of my home, your friends appeared. The mistake was quite natural." The Minister had listened respectfully while Ruth spoke, but he was not convinced.
He tried Oxford, but failed there for the same reason. Then he just drifted. Now, still on the sunny side of thirty-five, he was knocking about, sick of things, just existing, and fearfully bored. He had dropped into Sihasset through sheer curiosity just to see a typical New England summer resort where the Yankee type had not yet entirely disappeared.
Mark's thoughts were no longer of holy things, for the man was no other than Saunders, from whom, for the past two weeks, Sihasset had been most pleasantly free. "Damn!" he muttered. "I might have known he'd return to spoil it all." Then, mustering what grace he could, Mark shook hands with the detective, greeting him with a fair amount of cordiality, for, personally, he rather liked the man.
He likes you that I know and he always looks lonesome when he comes alone, with only two women to talk to. Sincerely, Ruth Atheson." That was all. The letter went into Mark's pocket as he saw Saunders looking over the top of his paper. "Getting acquainted in Sihasset pretty quickly, eh?" ventured the detective. "Yes," replied Mark, "bad pays get acquainted fast."
Whatever there is in this that excuses him I ought to know. And he ought to know the cause of my actions in his regard. I shall have to tell him and then If there is an explanation, how can I forgive myself? But he cannot be blind. Soon all Sihasset will notice and talk. I shall have to remove him again, and then . . . . My God! I cannot think that my saint could ever merit such an end.
On the left the road was bare for some distance along the bluff; then, bending, it again sought the shelter of the trees and meandered along until it lost itself in the main street of Sihasset, a village large enough to support three banks and, after a fashion, eight small churches.
We folks of Sihasset don't like that; it shuts off the view of the house and lawn. Lawn's what makes things purty. He wuz a queer old mug wanted to shut hisself up." "But how did she get out?" insisted the agent, coming back to the issue. "Search me," offered the constable. He looked toward the top of the wall. "Clumb the fence, mebbe." "With her dress looking as it does?" "There's no other way.
You may easily verify that by sending for my uncle, Monsignore Murray, of Sihasset, with whom I made my home until he went to college in Rome to study for the priesthood. I was left in Europe to receive my education. Afterward I came to America to be near my uncle, but I made frequent trips to Europe to visit friends.
I am afraid it is the domesticity of the title that sticks here in Sihasset, rather than the prelacy. My people are poor mostly mill workers. I have never shown them the purple. It might frighten them out of saying 'Father." "But surely " Mark hesitated. "Oh, yes, I know what you are thinking. I did like it at first, but I was younger then, and more ambitious. You know, Mr.
It was a son condemning his father to disgrace. But I hoped to save him." "And you did not?" "No, that was harder yet. I thought I had until I went to Sihasset and saw her in the church. Poor creature! She must have followed him." "But, my dear Lord Bishop, she is so young and he " "Yes, I know. But facts are facts. What could I do? Look here, Mr. Griffin.
