And when Heritage mentions Henson's name he always does so with a kind of forced gratitude." "You think that Heritage is going to be useful to us?" "I fancy so. Mind you, it is only my idea what I call intuition, for want of a better word. And what have you been doing lately?" David proceeded to explain, giving the events of the afternoon in full detail.
It is one of Henson's most disreputable tools." Merritt was coming across the terrace. He paused suspiciously as he caught sight of Frank, but Chris, with a friendly wave of her hand, encouraged him to come on. "It is all part of the game," she said. "I sent for our friend Merritt, but when I did so I had no idea that Frank would be present.
If he were quick he could be there by eleven o'clock. He passed into his little room. He started back to see a man sleeping in his armchair. Then the man, disturbed by the noise of the newcomer, opened his eyes. And those eyes were gleaming with a glow that filled Henson's heart with horrible dread.
"Well, of course I've forgotten the address; but it was to some writing man Stone, or Flint, or " "Steel, perhaps?" "That's the name! David Steel, Esq. Van Sneck wanted me to take that letter, saying as it would put a spoke in Reginald Henson's wheel, but I didn't see it. A boy took the letter at last." "Did you see an answer come back?" "Yes, some hour or so later.
It looked to her nothing less than a stroke of genius, two strokes, in fact, as will be seen presently. Before many hours were over Henson's position in the house would be seriously weakened. He had done a clever thing, but Chris saw her way to a cleverer one still. Meanwhile the two men were regarding one another suspiciously. On a round Chippendale table the offending Rembrandt lay between them.

Enid looked up at him swiftly. "If all the hounds round Longdean were poisoned or shot it would be a good place to live in," she said. Henson smiled caressingly, like Petruchio might have done in his milder moments.
In November of 1843 he suggested that he and Henson should construct a large model out of their own funds. On Henson's suggestion Colombine and Marriott were bought out as regards the original patent, and Stringfellow and Henson entered into an agreement and set to work.
I met my good friend quite by accident in the village just now, and I brought him here for a chat. Mr. Merritt is taking a well-earned holiday." Chris replied graciously that she didn't doubt it. She did not deem it necessary to add that she knew that one of Mr. Henson's mystic telegrams had been addressed to one James Merritt at an address in Moreton Wells, a town some fifteen miles away.
You see, it was only a few minutes before that a flood of interesting light had been let in upon Henson's character by your sister to me, and my first idea was that Henson was poisoning you for some purpose of his own. Subsequently Steel told me all about that side of the story on our way back to Brighton." "How did you penetrate my disguise?"
Henson's high character and gentle disposition being attacked by a savage dog in the very house! I hope the hound is securely kennelled." "Well, he isn't, sir," Williams said, with just the glint of a grin on his dry features. "And it wasn't altogether Rollo's fault. That dog was so devoted to Miss Christiana as you never see. And he got to know as the poor young lady was dying.
