"Is he concerned about this ?" "I have seen Mr.Greyle, mister, and he is concerned about what yon man, Ewbank, related," replied Chatfield.

"Mr.Greyle, sir, came straight to me--I reside in a residence within the park.

Mr.Greyle, mister, says that he has no recollection whatever of meeting this play-actor person in America--he may have done and he mayn't.

But he doesn't remember him, and it isn't likely he should--him, an English landlord and a gentleman wouldn't be very like to remember a play-actor person that's here today and gone tomorrow! I hope I give no offence, sir--maybe you're a play-actor yourself." "I am not," answered Copplestone.

He sat staring at his visitor for awhile, and when he spoke again his voice had lost its cordial tone.
"Well," he said, "and what have you called on me about ?" Chatfield looked up sharply, noticing the altered tone.
"To tell you--and them as you no doubt represent--that Mr.Greyle will be glad to help in any possible way towards finding out something in this here affair," he answered.
