By an unaccountable oversight, Shuttleworth had kept no memorandum of the number of the notes paid over to Savareen, and it was thus impossible to trace them. BY AN UNACCOUNTABLE OVERSIGHT SHUTTLEWORTH HAD KEPT NO MEMORANDUM OF THE NUMBER OF NOTES PAID OVER TO SAVAREEN AND IT WAS THUS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE THEM
that no traces of the body were discoverable? How was it that no cry or exclamation of any kind had been heard by old Jonathan, sitting there at the door in the open air on a still night? It was certain that his ears had been wide open, and ready enough to take in whatever was stirring, for he had heard the sound of Count Frontenac's hoofs as they came clattering down the road. Such questions as these were constantly in the mouths of the people of that neighborhood for some days after the disappearance, but they met with no satisfactory answer from any quarter, and as the time passed by it began to be believed that no light would ever be thrown upon the most mysterious occurrence that had ever taken place since that part of the country had been first settled. One of the constables, discouraged by repeated failures, ventured in all seriousness to express a suspicion that Savareen had been bodily devoured by his mare. How else could you account for no trace of him being visible anywhere?  WAS IT THAT NO TRACES OF THE BODY WERE DISCOVERABLE HOW WAS IT THAT NO CRY OR EXCLAMATION OF ANY KIND HAD BEEN HEARD BY OLD JONATHAN SITTING THERE AT THE DOOR IN THE OPEN AIR ON A STILL NIGHT IT WAS CERTAIN THAT HIS EARS HAD BEEN WIDE OPEN AND READY ENOUGH TO TAKE IN WHATEVER WAS STIRRING FOR HE HAD HEARD THE SOUND OF COUNT FERNON EX HOOFS AS THEY CAME CLATTERING DOWN THE ROAD SUCH QUESTIONS AS THESE WERE CONSTANTLY IN THE MOUTHS OF THE PEOPLE OF THAT NEIGHBOURHOOD FOR SOME DAYS AFTER THE DISAPPEARANCE BUT THEY MET WITH NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER FROM ANY QUARTER AND AS TIME PASSED BY IT BEGAN TO BELIEVE HE BELIEVED THAT NO LIGHT WOULD EVER BE THROWN UPON THE MOST MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE THAT HAD EVER TAKEN PLACE SINCE THAT PART OF THE COUNTRY HAD BEEN FIRST SETTLED ONE OF THE CONSTABLES DISCOURAGED BY REPEATED FAILURES VENTURED IN ALL SERIOUSNESS TO EXPRESS HIS SUSPICION THAT SAVAREEN HAD BEEN BODILY DEVOURED BY HIS MARE HOW ELSE COULD YOU ACCOUNT FOR NO TRACE OF HIM BEING VISIBLE ANYWHERE
