Assheton is of the character which you have given him. "I therefore refrain, as far as I am able, from drawing any conclusion till the matter is cleared up. "I may add that he deeply resents your conduct; his anger and indignation were terrible to see. "Sincerely yours, "Edward Taynton. Godfrey Mills, Esq." Mr.
"Did he write anything?" "No, sir." "How do you know that?" "I went with him from room to room, and should have seen if he had done so." "Did anybody else enter the flat during those days?" "Yes, sir." "Who?" "Mr. Taynton." The whole court seemed to give a great sigh; then it was quiet again.
What if they met there, alone? For an hour perhaps Mr. Taynton delved at these problems, and at the end even it did not seem as if he had solved them satisfactorily, for when he went out of his house, as he did at the end of this time to get a little breeze if such was obtainable, his face was still shadowed and overclouded.
It does not strike me as being too fanciful to see in that some little trace perhaps of your handiwork." "Yes, that looks like me," said Mills shortly. Mr. Taynton took a meditative sip at his brandy and soda. "My evening also has not been altogether wasted," he said.

Good night Morris; don't break your neck my dear boy, in trying to break records." Morris hardly attended to this, for the game was critical. He just rang the bell, said good night, and had thrown again before the door had closed behind Mr. Taynton. Below, in answer to the bell, was standing his servant. Mr.
Taynton, so kindly is the nature of happiness, contemplated no revengeful step on his partner; he searched his heart and found that no trace of rancour against poor Mills was hoarded there. Whether happiness makes us good, is a question not yet decided, but it is quite certain that happiness makes us forget that we have been bad, and it seemed to Mr.
