And on the night on which that man Kitely was murdered," concluded the solicitor, "Harborough was with my client from nine o'clock until half-past four in the morning, when he parted with him near Hexendale railway station. Mr. Wraythwaite will swear that." "And fortunately, we have some corroboration," observed Brereton, with a glance at Avice, "for whether Mr.
What misery the detracting of the time of our setting out, which should haue bene the 1 of February, did lay vpon vs, too many can witnes: and what extremitie the want of that moneths victuals which we did eat, during the moneth we lay at Plimouth for a wind, might haue driuen vs vnto, no man can doubt of, that knoweth what men do liue by, had not God giuen vs in the ende a more prosperous wind and shorter passage into Galitia then hath bene often seen, where our owne force and fortune reuictualled vs largely: of which crosse windes, that held vs two dayes after our going out, the Generals being wearie, thrust to Sea in the same, wisely chusing rather to attend the change thereof there, then by being in harborough to lose any part of the better, when it should come by hauing their men on shore: in which two dayes 25 of our companies shipped in part of the fleet were scattered from vs, either not being able or willing to double Vshant.
Man, alive! half the Highmarket wiseacres'll be sitting down to their roast mutton at this minute in the full belief that Miss Pett strangled her master!" "Well, and why not?" asked Brereton, coolly. "Surely, if you face facts, there's just as much reason to suspect Miss Pett as there is to suspect Harborough. They're both as innocent as you are, in all probability.
But for all these words our Captaine and Donnacona left not off to speake one to another, and friendly to entertaine one another. The day following we brought our two great shippes within the riuer and harborough, where the waters being at the highest, are three fadome deepe, and at the lowest, but halfe a fadome. We left our Pinnesse without the road to the end we might bring it to Hochelaga.
Now you want to know where Harborough was on the night that old fellow was done away with. That's it, master, what?" "That is it," answered Brereton, pressing his arm against Avice, who sat close at his side. "Yes, indeed!

However, we aren't concerned about that just now the critical point here, for Harborough, at any rate, is the evidence against him." "And what do you think of that?" asked Bent. "There's enough to warrant his arrest," answered Brereton, "and he'll be committed on it, and he'll go for trial.
But he preferred to go back to his old, free life, and was still a poor young man until two or three years ago, when some land in which he'd invested a few savings, turned out to have gold in it quantities of gold, gold enough to make a famous mine, and give Mr. Harborough a great fortune. Sally knew a good deal about the new millionaire, too.
In other words, he's the man with whom Harborough was in company during the evening and the greater part of the night on which Kitely was murdered." "I thought so," said Brereton. He looked reflectively at Mr. Wraythwaite. "But why did you not come forward at once?" he asked. "My advice my advice!" exclaimed Carfax hastily. "I'm going to explain the reasons.
