And
yet
all
that
he
had
to
impress
upon
me
might
have
been
said
in
a
sentence
,
for
it
was
that
I
was
to
remember
that
I
was
there
as
a
protection
to
himself
,
and
that
I
was
not
on
any
consideration
to
leave
him
for
an
instant
.
This
he
repeated
again
and
again
as
our
journey
drew
to
a
close
,
with
an
insistence
which
showed
that
his
nerves
were
thoroughly
shaken
.
"
Yes
,
"
he
said
at
last
,
in
answer
to
my
looks
rather
than
to
my
words
,
"
I
AM
nervous
,
Dr
.
Hamilton
.
I
have
always
been
a
timid
man
,
and
my
timidity
depends
upon
my
frail
physical
health
.
But
my
soul
is
firm
,
and
I
can
bring
myself
up
to
face
a
danger
which
a
less
-
nervous
man
might
shrink
from
.
What
I
am
doing
now
is
done
from
no
compulsion
,
but
entirely
from
a
sense
of
duty
,
and
yet
it
is
,
beyond
doubt
,
a
desperate
risk
.
If
things
should
go
wrong
,
I
will
have
some
claims
to
the
title
of
martyr
.
"
This
eternal
reading
of
riddles
was
too
much
for
me
.
I
felt
that
I
must
put
a
term
to
it
.
"
I
think
it
would
very
much
better
,
sir
,
if
you
were
to
trust
me
entirely
,
"
said
I
.
"
It
is
impossible
for
me
to
act
effectively
,
when
I
do
not
know
what
are
the
objects
which
we
have
in
view
,
or
even
where
we
are
going
.
"
"
Oh
,
as
to
where
we
are
going
,
there
need
be
no
mystery
about
that
,
"
said
he
;
"
we
are
going
to
Delamere
Court
,
the
residence
of
Sir
Thomas
Rossiter
,
with
whose
work
you
are
so
conversant
.
As
to
the
exact
object
of
our
visit
,
I
do
not
know
that
at
this
stage
of
the
proceedings
anything
would
be
gained
,
Dr
.
Hamilton
,
by
taking
you
into
my
complete
confidence
.
I
may
tell
you
that
we
are
acting
—
I
say
’
we
,
’
because
my
sister
,
Lady
Rossiter
,
takes
the
same
view
as
myself
—
with
the
one
object
of
preventing
anything
in
the
nature
of
a
family
scandal
.
That
being
so
,
you
can
understand
that
I
am
loath
to
give
any
explanations
which
are
not
absolutely
necessary
.
It
would
be
a
different
matter
,
Dr
.
Hamilton
,
if
I
were
asking
your
advice
.
As
matters
stand
,
it
is
only
your
active
help
which
I
need
,
and
I
will
indicate
to
you
from
time
to
time
how
you
can
best
give
it
.
"
There
was
nothing
more
to
be
said
,
and
a
poor
man
can
put
up
with
a
good
deal
for
twenty
pounds
a
day
,
but
I
felt
none
the
less
that
Lord
Linchmere
was
acting
rather
scurvily
towards
me
.
He
wished
to
convert
me
into
a
passive
tool
,
like
the
blackthorn
in
his
hand
.
With
his
sensitive
disposition
I
could
imagine
,
however
,
that
scandal
would
be
abhorrent
to
him
,
and
I
realized
that
he
would
not
take
me
into
his
confidence
until
no
other
course
was
open
to
him
.
I
must
trust
to
my
own
eyes
and
ears
to
solve
the
mystery
,
but
I
had
every
confidence
that
I
should
not
trust
to
them
in
vain
.
Delamere
Court
lies
a
good
five
miles
from
Pangbourne
Station
,
and
we
drove
for
that
distance
in
an
open
fly
.
Lord
Linchmere
sat
in
deep
thought
during
the
time
,
and
he
never
opened
his
mouth
until
we
were
close
to
our
destination
.
When
he
did
speak
it
was
to
give
me
a
piece
of
information
which
surprised
me
.
"
Perhaps
you
are
not
aware
,
"
said
he
,
"
that
I
am
a
medical
man
like
yourself
?
"
"
No
,
sir
,
I
did
not
know
it
.
