His acquaintance with Houseman who was suspected; Houseman's visit to Aram that night; his previous poverty so extreme, if I hear rightly; his after riches though they perhaps may be satisfactorily accounted for; his leaving this town so shortly after the disappearance I refer to; these alone might not create suspicion in me, but I have seen the man in moments of reverie and abstraction, I have listened to strange and broken words, I have noted a sudden, keen, and angry susceptibility to any unmeant excitation of a less peaceful or less innocent remembrance.
If, after this interview, I feel that I cannot command and bind Houseman's perpetual secrecy, I will surrender Madeline at once. She has loved me generously and trustingly. I will not link her life with one that may be called hence in any hour, and to so dread an account.

The coroner, according to the custom of the day, put a question to Mrs. Gaunt, with the view of eliciting her guilt. If I remember right, he asked her how she came to be out of doors so late on the night of the murder. Mrs.
'Speak out, said I; 'explain your purpose! "Houseman's looks brightened.
"Nor the day I ride to the gard again," replied Baard, his face very white, swinging himself into the saddle. Neither of them ever again set foot in the house where they had lived with their father. A short time after, Anders married into a houseman's family; but Baard was not invited to the wedding, nor was he even at church.
