There, as it happened, I met a man I know, and we stood talking together a little distance from the carriage way, to which I had my back. We had not been there for ten minutes when my friend took off his hat, and I glanced round and saw the lady I had been following all day. THERE AS IT HAPPENED I MET A MAN I KNOW AND WE STOOD TALKING TOGETHER A LITTLE DISTANCE FROM THE CARRIAGE WAY TO WHICH I HAD MY BACK WE HAD NOT BEEN THERE FOR TEN MINUTES WHEN MY FRIEND TOOK OFF HIS HAT AND I GLANCED ROUND AND SAW THE LADY I HAD BEEN FOLLOWING ALL DAY
te gone out of my head. She went into the house, and I watched it till four o’clock, when she came out, and then I followed her. It was a long chase, and I had to be very careful to keep a long way in the background, and yet not lose sight of the woman. She took me down to the Strand, and then to Westminster, and then up St. James’s Street, and along Piccadilly. I felt queerish when I saw her turn up Ashley Street; the thought that Mrs. Herbert was Mrs. Beaumont came into my mind, but it seemed too impossible to be true. I waited at the corner, keeping my eye on her all the time, and I took particular care to note the house at which she stopped. It was the house with the gay curtains, the home of flowers, the house out of which Crashaw came the night he hanged himself in his garden. I was just going away with my discovery, when I saw an empty carriage come round and draw up in front of the house, and I came to the conclusion that Mrs. Herbert was going out for a drive, and I was right. MONT SHE HAD QUITE GONE OUT OF MY HEAD SHE WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND I WATCHED IT TILL FOUR O'CLOCK WHEN SHE CAME OUT AND THEN I FOLLOWED HER IT WAS A LONG CHASE AND I HAD TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP A LONG WAY IN THE BACKGROUND AND YET NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE WOMAN SHE TOOK ME DOWN TO THE STRAND AND THEN TO WESTMINSTER AND THEN UP SAINT JAMES'S STREET AND ALONG PICCADILLY I FELT QUEERISH WHEN I SAW HER TURN UP ASHLEY STREET THE THOUGHT THAT MISSUS HERBERT WAS MISSUS BEAUMONT CAME INTO MY MIND BUT IT SEEMED TOO IMPOSSIBLE TO BE TRUE I WAITED AT THE CORNER KEEPING MY EYE ON HER ALL THE TIME AND I TOOK PARTICULAR CARE TO NOTE THE HOUSE AT WHICH SHE STOPPED IT WAS THE HOUSE WITH THE GAY CURTAINS THE HOME OF FLOWERS THE HOUSE OUT OF WHICH CRAYSHAW CAME THE NIGHT HE HANGED HIMSELF IN HIS GARDEN I WAS JUST GOING AWAY WITH MY DISCOVERY WHEN I SAW AN EMPTY CARRIAGE COME ROUND AND DRAW UP IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE AND I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MISSUS HERBERT WAS GOING OUT FOR A DRIVE AND I WAS RIGHT
