And having told my story to my uncle, Sir Thurstan, and to Master Timotheus Herrick, we agreed that for the present we would leave Jasper Stapleton's name out of it. But somehow, most likely because Jasper and his evil-tongued mother disappeared, the truth got out, and ere long everybody knew my story from beginning to end.
Jamieson wore an expression usually associated with funerals, and Mrs. Stapleton's face was full of suppressed excitement. "Dearest, what a time you've been! Was that Mr. Vincent?" "I think so," said Lady Laura. The two men nodded to one another, and an instant later the medium came in. He was in evening clothes; and, more than ever, Laurie thought how average and conventional he looked.
Harrison's garden, and was supposed to be a secret one, but the woman who arranged the meeting was not the person to keep away from it when it occurred, and consequently I have been enabled to learn with more or less accuracy what took place between them. It was not to Miss Stapleton's credit. Mr.
"Oh! that's a new sense Jacob has been showing me something of, which, like many others, proved to be nonsense." I went for the beer, and when I returned found the fire burning brightly, and a strong sense of smoking from old Stapleton's pipe.
Those which suffered most were that brigade which had charged Sir William Stapleton's horse, who being bravely engaged in the front with the enemy's foot, were, on the sudden, charged again in front and flank by Sir William Balfour's horse and disordered, after a very desperate defence.

In any case he would very soon learn it from his friend Dr. Mortimer, and he was told by the latter all details about the arrival of Henry Baskerville.

She has taken Dick Challoner to Connie Stapleton's house in Hampstead. It's one of the headquarters of the set, though, of course, the principal headquarters are at 300 Cumberland Place. How furious Lord Easterton would be if he knew! He suspects nothing as yet, I think." "But how do you know that Doris Lorrimer has taken the boy to that Hampstead house?"
