And it has been attested on oath that two days and a night subsequent to the date furnished by Charles Dump, Curtis Fakenham was brought to his house, Hollis Grange, lame of a leg, with a shot in his breast, that he carried to the family vault; and his head gamekeeper, John Wiltshire, a resolute fellow, was missing from that hour.

Some said they had a quarrel, and Curtis was wounded and John Wiltshire killed.

Curtis was known to have been extremely attached to the man.

Yet when Wiltshire was inquired for, he let fall a word of 'having more of Wiltshire than was agreeable to Hampshire'-- his county.
People asked what that meant.

Yet, according to the tale, it was the surviving servant, by whom he, or whoever it may have been, was accidentally shot.
We are in a perfect tangle.
