The Silent House

CHAPTER VI
5/11

Berwin Manor is the name of our place near Bath, and it looks as though my husband called himself after it when he changed his colours.

And isn't his first name Mark ?" pursued the pretty widow.

"Well, my husband was called Mark, too, so there you are--Mark Berwin." "Is this all your proof ?" asked Link calmly.
"I guess not, though it's enough, I should say.

My husband had a mark on his right cheek--got it fighting a duel with a German student when he was having a high time as one of the boys at Heidelberg.

Then he lost part of his little finger--left-hand finger--in an accident out West.
What other proof do you want, Mr.Link ?" "The proofs you have given seem sufficient, Mrs.Vrain, but may I ask when your husband left his home ?" "About a year ago, eh, poppa ?" "You are overdoing it, Lyddy," corrected the father.
