Sir Thomas Gourlay fails in unmasking the Stranger. -- Mysterious Conduct of Fenton When Sir Thomas Gourlay, after the delay of better than an hour in town, entered the coffee-room of the "Mitre," he was immediately attended by the landlord himself. "Who is this new guest you have got, landlord," inquired the baronet--"They tell me he is a very mysterious gentleman, and that no one can discover his name.
Do! you know anything about him ?" "De'il a syllable, Sir Tammas," replied the landlord, who was a northern--"How ir you, Counsellor Crackenfudge," he added, speaking to a person who passed upstairs--"There he goes," proceeded Jack the landlord--"a nice boy.
But do you know, Sir Tammas, why he changed his name to Crackenfudge ?" Sir Thomas's face at this moment, had grown frightful.
While the landlord was speaking, the baronet, attracted by the noise of a carriage passing, turned to observe it, just at the moment when his daughter was bowing so significantly to the stranger in the window over them, as we have before stated.
