Lady Southminster drew the line at county families, naturally, but her kindly feelings allowed a wide margin for parsons, doctors, and military men and among these last Captain Winstanley received a card. Mrs. Scobel declared that this ball would be a grand thing for Violet.
So there they stood talking, and at last I heard the Dean say, 'Well, I've no time to waste, Palmer. If you think this'll satisfy Southminster people, I'll permit it to be done; but I must say this, that never in the whole course of my life have I heard such arrant nonsense from a practical man as I have from you. Don't you agree with me, Henslow? As far as I could hear Mr.
As they sat together in a first-class compartment Fetherston explained to his friend the report made by the police officer at Southminster the next station to Burnham-on-Crouch whereupon Summers remarked: "The doctor has been down this way once or twice of late. I wonder if he goes to pay this Mr. Baily, or Bailey, a visit?" "Perhaps," laughed Walter. "We shall see."
Lady Southminster retorted with disdain. "That's an omen, that is" pointing to the words on the cover of the magazine. "What else could it be? I ask you." When Miss Ingate returned the child was fast asleep. Miss Ingate was paler than usual.
Rachel had left London precipitately after she had been the unwilling confidante of Lady Newhaven's secret, and had taken refuge with that friend of all perplexed souls, the Bishop of Southminster. She felt unable to meet Hugh again without an interval of breathing-time.
Bailey is comin' home this evenin'. I met Pietro in the Railway Inn at Southminster the night before last, and casually asked when his master was comin' home, as I wanted to see 'im for a subscription for our police concert, and 'e told me that the signore that's what 'e called him was comin' home to-night."

The carriage was sent for, and in a few minutes that dignified vehicle was bowling back to Southminster. "I am not satisfied about Hester," said the Bishop.
It was decided that the secret should be a Christmas-present for "Auntie Hester," to be bought in Southminster. The Bishop found that Regie's entire capital was sixpence. But Regie explained that he could spend a shilling, because he was always given sixpence by his father when he pulled a tooth out. "And I've one loose now," he said. "When I suck it it moves. It will be ready by Christmas."
"I am frightened for him," she said. The Bishop had been alarmed while she poured out his tea before they began to talk. "Perhaps he has gone back to London," she said, her eyes widening with a vague dread. The Bishop had gone on to the station, and had ascertained that Hugh had not left by the one train which had stopped at Southminster between seven and nine.
Henceforward a suspicion that had lain concealed in the undergrowth of the hearts of the two girls stalked boldly about in full daylight. "He's done it, and he's done it to spite me!" murmured Lady Southminster tearfully. "Oh no!" Audrey protested. "Even if he had fallen overboard he'd have been seen and the captain would have stopped the boat." "Where do you come from?"
