With another warning to Mrs. Tate as to silence, we started back to
Sunnyside. So Fanny Armstrong knew of Lucien Wallace, and was
sufficiently interested to visit him and pay for his support. Who was
the child's mother and where was she? Who was Nina Carrington? Did
either of them know where Halsey was or what had happened to him?
On the way home we passed the little cemetery where Thomas had been
laid to rest. I wondered if Thomas could have helped us to find
Halsey, had he lived. Farther along was the more imposing
burial-ground, where Arnold Armstrong and his father lay in the shadow
of a tall granite shaft. Of the three, I think Thomas was the only one
sincerely mourned.
