Instead of going away, the greater number of those who had been present lingered around the entrance, and Brent, leaving in Tansley's company a few minutes later, found high words being spoken between Alderman Crood and Epplewhite, who, prominent on the pavement, were haranguing each other amidst a ring of open-mouthed bystanders.
And there were things to be done, and after he had breakfasted he set resolutely and systematically about doing them. Tansley's office first he made an arrangement with Tansley to meet him at Wallingford's rooms that afternoon, to go through any private papers that might be found there. Then his cousin's office there were clerks there awaiting instructions.
"So cleverly that I'm doubtful if to-morrow's inquest will reveal anything. However, it's got to be held." "Well, you'll watch it for me?" said Brent. "I'm going to spare no expense and no pains to get at the truth." He sat at Tansley's side when the inquest was opened next morning in the principal court of the old Moot Hall.

They conversed for some minutes, while the magistrates were examining the memorandum book and the papers. Simon Crood joined in, and seemed to agree with Tansley.
He had already cultivated a habit of frequenting places of public resort, such as the smoking-room of his hotel, the big bar-room at Bull's, the rooms of the Town Club, to which he had without difficulty been duly elected a member on Tansley's nomination; at all these places he heard a great deal of gossip, but found no surprise shown at its subjects.
