The judge nodded at him; then looked at the witness again. The examination went on. "You need not answer that question. I put it to save time, merely. Did Mr. Taynton go into the deceased's sitting-room?" "Yes, sir." "Did he write anything there?" "Yes, sir." "Was he alone there?" "Yes, sir." "Thank you." Again the examining counsel paused, and again no question was asked by the prosecution.
Assheton isn't it. Let me look at the signature just once again." Mr. Taynton closed his eyes a moment after looking at it. Then he took his quill, and wrote quickly. "You would swear to that, too, would you not, Timmins?" he asked. "Why, God bless me yes, sir," said he. "Swear to it on the book." The door opened and as Godfrey Mills came in, Mr.
God, Taynton, it's your manner you know, there's something of the country parson about you that is wonderfully convincing. You seem sincere without being sanctimonious. Why, if I was to ask young Assheton to look into his affairs for himself, he would instantly think there was something wrong, and that I was trying bluff.
I saw one policeman trying to take my number, but we raised such a dust, I don't think he can have been able to see it. It's such rot only going twenty miles an hour with a clear straight road ahead." Mr. Taynton sighed, gently and not unhappily. "Yes, yes, my dear boy, I so sympathise with you," he said.
Should he not be back by tomorrow morning, I shall put the matter into the hands of the police. I trust that my anxieties are unfounded, but the matter is beginning to look strange. "Affectionately yours, "Edward Taynton." There is nothing so infectious as anxiety, and it can be conveyed by look or word or letter, and requires no period of incubation.
"But he has got to see me," he cried, "What's the use of you going to ask if he will?" Mr. Taynton went to the door of his room which opened into the hall. "Come in, Morris," he said. Though it had been Morris's hand which had raised so uncontrolled a clamour, and his voice that just now had been so uncontrolled, there was no sign, when the door of Mr.
"Oh Martin," he said, "while I am here, I want you to help in the house, you know at dinner and so on, just as you did to-night. And when there are guests of mine here I want you to look after them. For instance, when Mr. Taynton goes tonight you will be there to give him his hat and coat. You'll have rather a lot to do, I'm afraid."
I suppose he will guess that you know all about it, so perhaps it would be best if you told him straight out that you do. And then you can, well, make a few well-chosen remarks you know, and drop the whole damned subject forever." Mr. Taynton seemed much moved. "I will try," he said, "since you ask it. But Morris, you are more generous than I am."
Taynton down at his office, and by way of settling their wager at once, waited at the door, while the other went upstairs to see if his partner was there. He had not, however, appeared there that day, and Mr. Taynton sent a clerk down to Morris, to ask him to come up, and they would ring up Mr. Mills's flat on the telephone.
Taynton, made it practically certain that the deceased had left London on the Thursday as he had intended to do, and had got out of the train at Falmer, also according to his expressed intention, to walk to Brighton. It would again have been most improbable that he would have started on his walk had the storm already begun.
