After breakfast, Mr.Dellingham asked me the way to the old Manor Mill, and he went off there, so I concluded.

Mr.Braden, he hung about a bit, studying a local directory I'd lent him, and after a while he asked me if he could hire a trap to take him out to Saxonsteade this afternoon.
Of course, I said he could, and he arranged for it to be ready at two-thirty.

Then he went out, and across the market towards the Cathedral.

And that," concluded Mrs.Partingley, "is about all I know, gentlemen." "Saxonsteade, eh ?" remarked Mitchington.

"Did he say anything about his reasons for going there ?" "Well, yes, he did," replied the landlady.
