Annoyed, for these changing hues offered a problem he was as yet too absorbed in other matters to make any attempt to solve, he left the vicinity of the table, and was about to leave the room when he heard Styles's voice rise from the adjoining antechamber, where Styles was keeping guard over the old butler: "Shall I let him go, Mr. Gryce?
There was old Styles's statement about the something which used to pace the room at times when the owner was absent. Could it be a woman? Smith rather inclined to the view. If so, it would mean disgrace and expulsion to Bellingham if it were discovered by the authorities, so that his anxiety and falsehoods might be accounted for.
"Oh, I could laugh, I could laugh, if I didn't shiver so, when I think of it!

'Matter enough! quoth Andrew; 'we may come to be hanged, perhaps, as many an innocent man has before us. 'Tell me what is the matter, said I. 'I will, said he; 'but if ever you open your mouth about it, woe be to you! 'I never will, said I; but he made me swear by all the blessed saints in the Calendar; and then he told me, that, as Robin and he were going over the foot-bridge, where he found the child the evening before, they saw something floating upon the water; so they followed it, till it stuck against a stake, and found it to be the dead body of a woman; 'as sure as you are alive, Madge, said he, 'this was the mother of the child I brought home."
