I bowed, and, backing a pace or two, was about to leave, when he said, "Permit me to detain you a moment. Ask Mr. Harrison the secretary to come to me." I obeyed, and then in some wonder stood still, waiting. "Mr. Harrison, fetch me Captain Wynne's papers." The commission is but now come to hand from Congress.
My name's Cleek Hamilton Cleek, at your service. Now let's hear the thing all over again, please. I've one or two questions I'd like to ask." Merriton left Scotland Yard an hour later, lighter in heart than he had been for some time ever since, in fact, Dacre Wynne's tragic disappearance had cast such a gloom over his life's happiness. He had unburdened his soul to Cleek absolutely.
Turn up the lights someone, and dispel this gloom that seems to have settled on everyone! What do you make of it?" Suddenly Wynne's great, bulky figure swung free from the shadows. There were red glints in his eyes and a sneer curled his heavy lips. He sucked his cigar and threw his head back. "What I make of it is a whole lot of old women's damn silly nonsense!" he announced in a loud voice.
You have the advantage of seeing before your eyes the intellectual renaissance of Italy, and it has already supplied you with two very good subjects. It is probable that before October something else may turn up. If not, I will send you a book from England to review for instance, Miss Wynne's Letters and Journals, which are being printed, and will come out in October.
Major M'Namara rose and said: "Sir As one of the members for Clare, I beg to say, that every sentence in Captain Wynne's letter is a malicious falsehood. He thus complains in italics: "None of the gentry will take our part except one." "The works under 9 and 10 Vic., c. 107, are sanctioned for sake of the relief and not for sake of the works themselves." Mr.
Woodville, the lieutenant, lingered, made his adieus very decently, and went out, I showing him the way. On the step he said: "I do not quarrel with women; but I have heard that in Mistress Wynne's house, to which, as an officer of his Majesty, I cannot submit." "Well?" I said; and my abominable propensity to grin got the better of me. "You seem amused, sir," he said. I was by no means amused.
'You have alluded to the word of an Aylwin. With me, as with the best of us, the word of an Aylwin is an oath. Wynne's corpse is now hidden; the cross is now hidden; I give you the word of an Aylwin that the man who digs up that corpse I will kill.
When the benediction had been pronounced, and the congregation were going out, Ishmael was about to leave his pew when he saw that the minister had come down from the pulpit and was advancing straight towards him to speak to him. He therefore stopped and waited for Mr. Wynne's approach. There was a shaking of hands and mutual inquiries as to each other's health, and then Mr.
Whereon we laugh, and the little lady, being pretty-spoken, says she wishes she was Mistress Wynne's cat, and while my aunt dries her eyes goes on to say, "Here is a note for you to dine with us and Mr. Washington, and I was bid write it, and so I did on the back of the queen of hearts for a compliment, madam," and with this she drops a curtsey.
We remained one day for repairs and then, in company with Brand, had a glorious sail down the lake to Wynne's station. Our return journey to Christchurch was without incident save one, worth mentioning. This was where we were both nearly drowned crossing the Lindis in a flood. Moorehouse, I believe, sold his interest in the Wanaka district for a song.
