While the horror and wonder of London was at its height—for "Mrs. Beaumont," as I have told you, was well known in society—I wrote to my friend Dr. Phillips, giving some brief outline, or rather hint, of what happened, and asking him to tell me the name of the village where the events he had related to me occurred. WHILE THE HORROR AND WONDER OF LONDON WAS AT ITS HEIGHT FOR MISSUS BEAUMONT AS I HAVE TOLD YOU WAS WELL KNOWN IN SOCIETY I WROTE TO MY FRIEND DOCTOR PHILLIPS GIVING SOME BRIEF OUTLINE OR RATHER HINT OF WHAT HAPPENED AND ASKING HIM TO TELL ME THE NAME OF THE VILLAGE WHERE THE EVENTS HE HAD RELATED TO ME OCCURRED
urf amidst the summer flowers, half in sun and half in shadow, and holding the girl Rachel’s hand, called and summoned those companions, and shaped in solid form, upon the earth we tread upon, the horror which we can but hint at, which we can only name under a figure. I would not tell Villiers of this, nor of that resemblance, which struck me as with a blow upon my heart, when I saw the portrait, which filled the cup of terror at the end. What this can mean I dare not guess. I know that what I saw perish was not Mary, and yet in the last agony Mary’s eyes looked into mine. Whether there can be any one who can show the last link in this chain of awful mystery, I do not know, but if there be any one who can do this, you, Raymond, are the man. And if you know the secret, it rests with you to tell it or not, as you please. I am writing this letter to you immediately on my getting back to town. I have been in the country for the last few days; perhaps you may be able to guess in which part.  LAY UPON THE SMOOTH SWEET TURF AMIDST THE SUMMER FLOWERS HALF IN SUN AND HALF IN SHADOW AND HOLDING THE GIRL RACHEL'S HAND CALLED AND SUMMONED THOSE COMPANIONS AND SHAPED IN SOLID FORM UPON THE EARTH WE TREAD UPON THE HORROR WHICH WE CAN BUT HINT AT WHICH WE CAN ONLY NAME UNDER A FIGURE I WOULD NOT TELL VILLIERS OF THIS NOR OF THAT RESEMBLANCE WHICH STRUCK ME AS WITH A BLOW UPON MY HEART WHEN I SAW THE PORTRAIT WHICH FILLED THE CUP OF TERROR AT THE END WHAT THIS CAN MEAN I DARE NOT GUESS I KNOW THAT WHAT I SAW PERISH WAS NOT MARY AND YET IN THE LAST AGONY MARY'S EYES LOOKED INTO MINE WHETHER THERE CAN BE ANY ONE WHO CAN SHOW THE LAST LINK IN THIS CHAIN OF AWFUL MYSTERY I DO NOT KNOW BUT IF THERE BE ANY ONE WHO CAN DO THIS YOU RAYMOND ARE THE MAN AND IF YOU KNOW THE SECRET IT RESTS WITH YOU TO TELL IT OR NOT AS YOU PLEASE I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO YOU IMMEDIATELY ON MY GETTING BACK TO TOWN I HAVE BEEN IN THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS PERHAPS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GUESS IN WHICH PART
