And what have you learnt, Harry?

I will tell you all about it, my dear, directly I have made myself comfortable; and he proceeded with the most provoking coolness to take off his coat and gloves, and to arrange himself in a chair before the fire.

Now I will tell you. I went down to the station to-day, and there I saw Dick Thornton. He shook hands with me, and said--what every one says--'This is a bad job, Harry.' 'A devilish bad job' I answered.

Never mind the expletives, Harry, I put in,

Don't interrupt me, Agnes, or I won't tell you anything. 'I want to have a chat with you, Thornton,' I said. 'When can I see you?' 'I don't get away from here till six.' 'Well, suppose you come round to our place and have a chat with me when you get away.' 'Done,' he said. Accordingly I had a snug little dinner cooked, got a bottle of wine up from the cellar, and at about half-past six Dick came in. After we had dined, and had talked over the whole affair, I told him he could do me a great service by telling me whether the Misses Harmer had sent off a telegraphic message, and if so, where. 'It would lose me my place, if it were known I had told you, Harry,' he said. 'I know it would,' I answered; 'but what you say will not go any further; indeed it is more as a matter of curiosity that we may find out where the priest came from, than from any action we can take from it.' 'Well, Harry,' he said, 'I will tell you all about it, and you can make what use you like of it; the place is not so first-rate that I should care very much if I did get the sack in consequence. One of the servants from Harmer Place--I should say Miss Harmer's own maid, for she was a stiff foreign-looking woman--came down upon that Friday afternoon, with a note and a message. I was alone at the time, for the other clerk happened to be away. The message was in Italian; it was that which made me notice it particularly, and when I got home I took the trouble to get a dictionary to see what it was about. I could not make much of it, and I forget the Italian words, but the English was-- To the Bishop of Ravenna, Italy. He is dead--much can be done, if lawful, for the mother--send advice and assistance.

All is lawful for the mother--advice and aid have started.

That is all, Harry concluded,
