The latter had been successful in restoring to their normal mental condition patients who had been infected with orosin, that most dangerous and puzzling of the discoveries of modern toxicologists. Mrs. Tennison had acted upon my advice. Had I been in a financial position to pay Gabrielle's expenses to Lyons I would have done so most willingly.
Still the fact remained that Gabrielle Tennison had disappeared suddenly on November the seventh, the night I had met with my amazing adventure.
"I follow the trend of your thoughts, Hugh. De Gex is the controlling influence of great events, but why should he seek to send you into an asylum for the insane?" "With the same motive that he endeavoured to send into such an asylum poor Gabrielle Tennison," I said bitterly. "In law we have an old adage which says 'discover the motive and you also discover the miscreant," Harry remarked.
Relying on the great share they had in the revolution, they endeavoured, though ineffectually, to obtain under King William the repeal of the Test Act of King Charles II. Under Queen Anne they were equally unsuccessful, as we may still read with interest in the pages of Swift, De Foe, Tennison, Boyse, and King.
I spoke. She rose from her seat, and turned to me. Her reply, low and tense, staggered me! "I know you!" she cried, staring at me as though transformed by terror. "They told me you would come! You are my enemy you are here to kill me!" "To kill you, Miss Tennison!" I gasped. "No, I am certainly not your enemy. I am your friend!"
Tennison, on account of the slump in securities owing to the war, was, I knew, in rather straitened circumstances. When I again suggested a visit to the great specialist in Lyons she shook her head, and told me frankly that she could not afford it. De Gex had, it seemed, sought his victims among those who had been ruined by the war.
I smiled within myself as I read of all the great man's doings, of his vast financial interests, of his estates in England and in Italy, and his assistance to the Ministry of Finance of Spain. Often indeed when at home I discussed the situation with Hambledon, yet without the evidence of Gabrielle Tennison we could not act.
What could be the meaning of that clandestine meeting? for clandestine it was, or Monsieur Suzor would have called at Longridge Road. Possibly they expected that they might be watched, hence they had met as though by accident at that spot where they believed they would not be observed. Gaston Suzor was a shrewd, clever man. But what did this friendship with Gabrielle Tennison denote?
Tennison, it is all a mystery a complete mystery to me why Doctor Moroni, of all men, should take an interest in your daughter. He is certainly not a man to be trusted, and I, in turn, warn you against him." "Why? He has been so good to Gabrielle."
I am trying to find Gabrielle Engledue, and I am now wondering whether the girl I am seeking is not the same as the young lady you know as Gabrielle Tennison." "Where did you meet this girl Engledue?" asked Mrs. Cullerton, with a queer inquisitive look. I paused for a second. "In London at the house of a mutual friend."
