He wished to show ms thia old
diary that had come down to him
from a branch of his mother’s fami-
ly in Virginiar—a branch that had
gons out with a King’s Grant when
Virginia was a crown colony. The
collateral ancestor Pendleton had
been a justice of the peace in Vir-
ginia. and a spinster daughter had
written down some of the strong*
cases with which her father had
been concerned. Monsieur Jonquelle
believed that these cases in their
tragic details, and their inspiration-
al deductive handling equaled any
of modern times. The grnet library
overlooking th* Faubourg Rt Ger-
main was curtained off from Paris
Monsieur Jonquelle read by the
fire; and I listened, returned as by
some recession of time to the Vir-
ginia of a vanished decade The
narrative of the diary follows:
It was a big sunny room. The
low windows looked out on a
formal garden, great beach trees
and the bow of the river. Within
it was a tort of library There were
bookcases built into the wall, to the
height of a man a head, and at in-
tervals between them, rising from
the floor to the cornice of the
shelves, were rows of mahogany
drawers with glass knobs There
was also a flat writing table
It was the room of a traveler, a
man of letters, a dreamer On the
table were an inkspot of carved
jade, a paperknife of ivory with
gold butterflies set in; thre* bronze
storks, with their backs together,
held an exquisite Japanese crystal
Th* room was in disorder—the
rawers pulled out and the contents
ransacked
My father stood leaning against
th* casement of ths window, look-
ing out The lawyer. Mr. Lewis,
sat in a chair hestde the table, his
eyes on the violated room
' Pendleton “ he said. "I don’t like
this Englishman Gosford."
The words seemed to arouse my
father out of the depths of some
reflection, and he turned to the
