"It was a late hour for visiting, but as the house had lights in both its lower and upper stories, I should by good rights have taken it for granted that he was an expected guest and gone on my way to the Zabels'. But I did not.
And though her strength and breath were fast failing her, she made me understand that she was worried about the Zabels, who had not come according to a sacred custom between them, to celebrate the anniversary of her wedding, and prayed me to see the two old gentlemen before I slept, since nothing but death or dire distress would have kept them from gratifying the one whim of my father's failing mind.
It is hard to understand such persistence, but if you are satisfied to take a woman of my strength against her will, then God have mercy upon you, for I will be your wife. But do not ask me to go to Sutherlandtown. I will live here. And do not expect to keep up your intimacy with the Zabels.
But, with this palpable proof of the Zabels' direct connection with the affair, I would not recommend her arrest as yet." "She should be under surveillance, though," intimated the coroner. "Most certainly," acquiesced Knapp. As for Sweetwater, he remained silent till the opportunity came for him to whisper apart to Dr. Talbot, when he said: "For all the palpable proof of which Mr.
"James and John are getting proud," said he, "or they forget, they forget." James and John. He must mean the Zabels, yet there were many others answering to these names in town. Mr. Sutherland made another effort. "Philemon, where is your wife? I do not see any place set here for her!" "Agatha's sick, Agatha's cross; she don't care for a poor old man like me."
Perhaps but it is folly for me to dilate upon my feelings; it is my errand you are interested in, and what happened when I approached the Zabels' dreary dwelling."
Sutherland, evidently startled, asked what news; to which Frederick replied: "The news about the Zabels. They are both dead, sir, dead from hunger. Can you imagine it!" This was something so different from what his father had expected to hear, that he did not take it in at first. When he did, his surprise and grief were even greater than Frederick had anticipated.
Whether this was before or after this person disappeared round the corner I cannot say, but no sooner had I become certain that he was bent upon entering this house than my impulse to follow him became greater than my precaution, and turning aside from the direct path to the Zabels', I hurried down High Street just in time to see the man enter Mrs. Webb's front gateway.
"She knows it is too late for her to hear those of the two dead Zabels," growled the man from Boston. "We are no nearer the solution of this mystery than we were in the beginning," remarked the coroner. "Gentlemen, I have not yet finished my story," intimated Amabel, sweetly. "Perhaps what I have yet to tell may give you some clew to the identity of this man." "Ah, yes; go on, go on.
But as I hastened on toward the quarter where the Zabels lived, I was seized by such compunction for his desolate state that I faltered in my rapid flight and did not arrive at the place of my destination as quickly as I intended. When I did I found the house dark and the silence sepulchral. But I did not turn away.
