When he arrived at the Castle he asked for the baronet, and found him at once.
"By the way, Sir William, a matter of no absolute importance, but still of some sentimental value to me, escaped my memory when I was a while ago saying good-bye to you, as I thought, for some months."
"And what was that?"
"You know there is no hurry about Sir Alexander's will?"
"How do you mean?"
"Well, nothing need be done about it for months."
"What then?"
"You will be back in a few months, less than six?"
"Let us hope so."
"Well, I shall do nothing about the will until you come back. We can then put our heads together and see what is best for Miss Midharst's interest."
