"Ah, well, we needn't tell that when she goes into the witness-box," said Carfax. "But that's most satisfactory. My dear young lady!" he added, turning to Avice, "your father will be released like like one o'clock! And then, I think," he went on bustling round on the new Squire of Wraye, "then, my dear, I think Mr. Wraythwaite here " "Leave that to me, Carfax," interrupted Mr.
"No, no! not at all!" replied Ransford hastily. "It was a bad error of judgment on his part, Dick, but he he'd relied on these men, more particularly on Wraye, who'd been the leading spirit. Well, that was your father's sad fate. Now we come to what happened to your mother and yourselves.
"Of the other the man of lesser importance Flood." The two men looked quietly at each other for a full moment's silence. And it was Bryce who first spoke with a ring of confidence in his tone which showed that he knew he had the whip hand. "Shall I tell you something about Falkiner Wraye?" he asked. "I will! it's deeply interesting. Mr.
And I for one think he showed his good sense by that. Once upon a time the tailor of Wraye and the tinker of Wraye went to the king's fair together; and when they had seen all the sights that were there they started home together well pleased with their day's outing.
All you've got to do, he went on, 'is to go there see the police authorities, town officials, anybody that knows the place, and ask them if they can tell you anything of one Falkiner Wraye, who was at one time a small estate agent in Barthorpe, left the place about seventeen years ago maybe eighteen and is believed to have recently gone back to the neighbourhood. That's all.
Well, my dear sir, if you were a native of these parts it would. Wraye is one of the oldest and most historic estates between here and the Tweed everybody knows Wraye. And everybody knows too that there has been quite a romance about Wraye for some time since the last Wraythwaite died, in fact. That Wraythwaite was a confirmed old bachelor.
"A sheep, a sheep, a great white sheep!" cried the miller's son; and then how the people of Wraye did laugh! They laughed and they laughed and they laughed, so loud and so long that their laughter was heard all the way to the king's fair and set the people to laughing there. But whether the tailor and the tinker laughed or not, I do not know.
I urged him to let the thing drop, and to start life afresh. But he was determined. Find both men, but particularly Wraye, he would! He refused point-blank to even see his children until he had found these men and had forced them to acknowledge their misdeeds as regards him, for that, of course, would have cleared him to a certain extent.
Now, you won't understand, Brereton, but Miss Harborough, I think, will know what I mean, or she'll have some idea, when I say that this gentleman is now now, mind you! Mr. Wraythwaite of Wraye." Avice looked up quickly with evident comprehension, and the solicitor nodded. "You see she knows," he went on, turning to Brereton. "At least, that conveys something to her. But it doesn't to you.
Wraye, according to Brake, had a bad scar on his left jaw and had lost the middle finger of his left hand all from a gun accident. He what's the matter, sir?" Bryce had suddenly let his pipe fall from his lips. He took some time in picking it up. When he raised himself again his face was calm if a little flushed from stooping. "Bit my pipe on a bad tooth!" he muttered.
