With "Dubourg" we have begun.

With "Dubourg" let us go on to the end.
On a summer evening, some years ago, a man was found murdered in a field near a certain town in the West of England.

The name of the field was, "Pardon's Piece." The man was a small carpenter and builder in the town, who bore an indifferent character.

On the evening in question, a distant relative of his, employed as farm-bailiff by a gentleman in the neighborhood, happened to be passing a stile which led from the field into a road, and saw a gentleman leaving the field by way of this stile, rather in a hurry.

He recognized the gentleman as Mr.Dubourg.
The two passed each other on the road in opposite directions.
