That
would
give
me
time
.
"
"
Then
,
if
you
are
not
too
sleepy
,
I
will
give
you
a
sketch
of
what
has
happened
,
and
of
what
remains
to
be
done
.
"
"
I
was
sleepy
before
you
came
.
I
am
quite
wakeful
now
.
"
"
I
will
compress
the
story
as
far
as
may
be
done
without
omitting
anything
vital
to
the
case
.
It
is
conceivable
that
you
may
even
have
read
some
account
of
the
matter
.
It
is
the
supposed
murder
of
Colonel
Barclay
,
of
the
Royal
Munsters
,
at
Aldershot
,
which
I
am
investigating
.
"
"
I
have
heard
nothing
of
it
.
"
"
It
has
not
excited
much
attention
yet
,
except
locally
.
The
facts
are
only
two
days
old
.
Briefly
they
are
these
:
"
The
Royal
Munsters
is
,
as
you
know
,
one
of
the
most
famous
Irish
regiments
in
the
British
Army
.
It
did
wonders
both
in
the
Crimea
and
the
Mutiny
,
and
has
since
that
time
distinguished
itself
upon
every
possible
occasion
.
It
was
commanded
up
to
Monday
night
by
James
Barclay
,
a
gallant
veteran
,
who
started
as
a
full
private
,
was
raised
to
commissioned
rank
for
his
bravery
at
the
time
of
the
Mutiny
,
and
so
lived
to
command
the
regiment
in
which
he
had
once
carried
a
musket
.
"
Colonel
Barclay
had
married
at
the
time
when
he
was
a
sergeant
,
and
his
wife
,
whose
maiden
name
was
Miss
Nancy
Devoy
,
was
the
daughter
of
a
former
colour-sergeant
in
the
same
corps
.
There
was
,
therefore
,
as
can
be
imagined
,
some
little
social
friction
when
the
young
couple
(
for
they
were
still
young
)
found
themselves
in
their
new
surroundings
.
They
appear
,
however
,
to
have
quickly
adapted
themselves
,
and
Mrs.
Barclay
has
always
,
I
understand
,
been
as
popular
with
the
ladies
of
the
regiment
as
her
husband
was
with
his
brother
officers
.
I
may
add
that
she
was
a
woman
of
great
beauty
,
and
that
even
now
,
when
she
has
been
married
for
upward
of
thirty
years
,
she
is
still
of
a
striking
and
queenly
appearance
.
