General Rolleston looked from one to another with strange misgivings, which soon deepened into a sense of some terrible calamity; for now a strong convulsion swelled Arthur Wardlaw's heart; his face worked fearfully; and, with a sharp and sudden cry, he fell forward on the table, and his father's arm alone prevented him from sinking like a dead man on the floor.
"As to the scuttling of the ship, here is the deposition of two seamen, taken on their death-bed, and witnessed by Miss Rolleston and myself." "And that book he tried to steal," said Helen. Robert continued: "And here is Undercliff's fac-simile of the forged note. Here are specimens of Arthur Wardlaw's handwriting, and here is Undercliff's report."
But at the beginning Elsmere owed him much, and it was a debt he was never tired of honoring. In the fast place, Wardlaw's choice of the Elgood Street room as a fresh centre for civilizing effort had been extremely shrewd. The district lying about it, as Robert soon came to know, contained a number of promising elements.
There lay two documents, evidently recently drawn up. As we looked over the first, we saw that it was Doctor Wardlaw's will, in which he had left everything to his wife, although he was not an especially wealthy man. The other was the will of Mrs. Wardlaw. We devoured it hastily. In substance it was identical with the first, except that at the end she had added two clauses.
I don't know yet whether it was ignorance or something worse. But it started an inquiry. I can't say that I'm thoroughly satisfied with the amended certificate of the physician who attended Mrs. Marbury, the mother of Doctor Wardlaw's wife, who died about a week ago Doctor Aitken." "Then Wardlaw didn't attend her himself?" asked Kennedy. "Oh no.
He vallied her more than all the gold, that you may take your oath on." This stroke, coming from a rough fellow in a pea-jacket, who looked as simple as he was cunning, silenced remonstrance, and went far to disarm suspicion; and so pleased Michael Penfold that he said, "Mr. Wylie, you are interested in this business, would you mind going to Mr. Wardlaw's house and asking what we are to do next?
'Family worship, morning and evening, was also a most regular and sacred observance in our house, and consisted of first, asking a blessing; second, singing twelve lines of a psalm or paraphrase, or a hymn from Wardlaw's Hymn-book; third, reading a chapter from the Old Testament in the mornings, and from the New in the evenings; and fourth, prayer.
Their progress, however, had been more than once interrupted to carry out Wardlaw's instructions.
It had already caused him many a pang; but now it almost drove him mad. Arthur Wardlaw's letter. He recoiled from it, and let it lie. He went out of the cave, and cursed his hard fate. But he came back. It was one of those horrible things a man abhors, yet cannot keep away from.
The similarity is so striking that on these two words alone the writer could be identified beyond a doubt. Great pains were taken with the signature, and it is like John Wardlaw's writing on the surface; but go below the surface, and it is all Arthur Wardlaw. The looped o, the small r, the l drooping below the d, the open a, are all Arthur Wardlaw's.
