HARRY FEVERSHAM'S PLAN It was the night of August 30.

A month had passed since the ball at Lennon House, but the uneventful country-side of Donegal was still busy with the stimulating topic of Harry Feversham's disappearance.

The townsmen in the climbing street and the gentry at their dinner-tables gossiped to their hearts' contentment.

It was asserted that Harry Feversham had been seen on the very morning after the dance, and at five minutes to six--though according to Mrs.Brien O'Brien it was ten minutes past the hour--still in his dress clothes and with a white suicide's face, hurrying along the causeway by the Lennon Bridge.

It was suggested that a drag-net would be the only way to solve the mystery.
Mr.Dennis Rafferty, who lived on the road to Rathmullen, indeed, went so far as to refuse salmon on the plea that he was not a cannibal, and the saying had a general vogue.
