"
I
told
Mr
.
Ackroyd
that
Ralph
was
staying
at
the
Three
Boars
.
"
"
Caroline
,
"
I
said
,
"
do
you
never
reflect
that
you
might
do
a
lot
of
harm
with
this
habit
of
yours
of
repeating
everything
indiscriminately
?
"
"
Nonsense
,
"
said
my
sister
.
"
People
ought
to
know
things
.
I
consider
it
my
duty
to
tell
them
.
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
very
grateful
to
me
.
"
"
Well
,
"
I
said
,
for
there
was
clearly
more
to
come
.
142
"
I
think
he
went
straight
off
to
the
Three
Boars
,
but
if
so
he
didn
t
find
Ralph
there
.
"
"
No
?
"
"
No
.
Because
as
I
was
coming
back
through
the
wood
"
"
Coming
back
through
the
wood
?
"
I
interrupted
.
143
Caroline
had
the
grace
to
blush
.

"
It
was
such
a
lovely
day
,
"
she
exclaimed
.
"
I
thought
I
would
make
a
little
round
.
The
woods
with
their
autumnal
tints
are
so
perfect
at
this
time
of
year
.
"
Caroline
does
not
care
a
hang
for
woods
at
any
time
of
year
.
Normally
she
regards
them
as
places
where
you
get
your
feet
damp
,
and
where
all
kinds
of
unpleasant
things
may
drop
on
your
head
.
No
,
it
was
good
sound
mongoose
instinct
which
took
her
to
our
local
wood
.
It
is
the
only
place
adjacent
to
the
village
of
King
s
Abbot
where
you
can
talk
with
a
young
woman
unseen
by
the
whole
of
the
village
.
145
It
adjoins
the
Park
of
Fernly
.
146
"
Well
,
"
I
said
,
"
go
on
.
"
"
As
I
say
,
I
was
just
coming
back
through
the
wood
when
I
heard
voices
.
"
Caroline
paused
.
147
"
Yes
?
"
"
One
was
Ralph
Paton
s
I
knew
it
at
once
.
The
other
was
a
girl
s
.
Of
course
I
didn
t
mean
to
listen
"
"
Of
course
not
,
"
I
interjected
,
with
patent
sarcasm
which
was
,
however
,
wasted
on
Caroline
.

"
But
I
simply
couldn
t
help
overhearing
.
The
girl
said
something
I
didn
t
quite
catch
what
it
was
,
and
Ralph
answered
.
He
sounded
very
angry
.
"
My
dear
girl
,
"
he
said
.
149
"
Don
t
you
realize
that
it
is
quite
on
the
cards
the
old
man
will
cut
me
off
with
a
shilling
?
He
s
been
pretty
fed
up
with
me
for
the
last
few
years
.
A
little
more
would
do
it
.
And
we
need
the
dibs
,
my
dear
.
I
shall
be
a
very
rich
man
when
the
old
fellow
pops
off
.
He
s
mean
as
they
make
em
,
but
he
s
rolling
in
money
really
.
I
don
t
want
him
to
go
altering
his
will
.
150
You
leave
it
to
me
,
and
don
t
worry
.
"
Those
were
his
exact
words
.
I
remember
them
perfectly
.
Unfortunately
,
just
then
I
stepped
on
a
dry
twig
or
something
,
and
they
lowered
their
voices
and
moved
away
.
I
couldn
t
,
of
course
,
go
rushing
after
them
,
so
wasn
t
able
to
see
who
the
girl
was
.
"
"
That
must
have
been
most
vexing
,
"
I
said
.
"
I
suppose
,
though
,
you
hurried
on
to
the
Three
Boars
,
felt
faint
,
and
went
into
the
bar
for
a
glass
of
brandy
,
and
so
were
able
to
see
if
both
the
barmaids
were
on
duty
?
"
"
It
wasn
t
a
barmaid
,
"
said
Caroline
unhesitatingly
.
"
In
fact
,
I
m
almost
sure
that
it
was
Flora
Ackroyd
,
only
"
"
Only
it
doesn
t
seem
to
make
sense
,
"
I
agreed
.
