I heard him speak of the old man Verage again, and she seemed a little afraid, or annoyed, I don't know which. Then he seemed to be telling her of some new scheme, and there was a great deal of planning and some chaffing about her going into the country. Just at daybreak they sent me for a carriage, and she went away in it, closely veiled as before. He told her he would join her without fail.
"Well, you may be able to get even with her yet," he said, rising to go, after Verage had concluded his tirade; "many thanks for giving me some information. I may be able to return the compliment soon." "But hold on!" cried Verage, as if seized by a new thought; "I say, now, what is all this questioning about?"
But old Verage don't want you, and the wind has changed; proceed." "Well, as usual, I found myself in luck, and if I had been a nice young widow, might have taken Summer quarters in the snug little village of Bellair." "Not being a widow, relate your experience as a rusticating gentleman at large. You excite my curiosity."
The fact is, my business is rather peculiar, and delicate." The old man rubbed his hands gleefully. "Good! very good! A mystery about a woman! Come out with it; don't be backward." "Very well; the woman that I want to inquire about has been known as Cora Weston." Old Verage fairly bounced out of his seat as he yelled: "Cora Weston! Where is she? What do you know about her?"
