"Yet now they are about to part."
"It seems strange, doesn't it, sir?" said Mrs. Prisom, "but ever since Dr. Binjoy has been here with Sir Louis, they have got on badly. I think it was the chemistry which kept them together; for their characters are quite unlike one another."
"You like Sir Louis?"
"Yes. But I don't like Dr. Binjoy. No. Not though I have known him for so many years. He was a lover of Madaline Garry also, but she would have nothing to do with him. I am glad he is leaving Sir Louis."
"Was Binjoy friendly with Sir Gregory?"
"I can't say, sir. I do not think he had much love for him; because he was the heir and kept Sir Louis out of the property."
"Oh; and no doubt Binjoy wanted Sir Louis to have the property, so that he could get a share of the money."
"I think so, sir. They said that Dr. Binjoy was always very gay; and used to go to London to lead a fast life."
"Who said that? Did you ever go to Taxton-on-Thames?"
"No, Mrs. Jerusalem told me. You know she was the housekeeper of the late Mr. Garth; and, after his death, she went to keep house for Sir Louis at Taxton-on-Thames. When Sir Louis came in for the property he brought her here."
