In a tense scene in a dark parlour a money dispute escalates as Jabez counts four sovereigns and a sixth added to his heap. A nervy stranger watches unseen while a woman denounces the man’s wicked heart, declares she will not touch bread bought with his money, and throws the sovereigns back at him in a dramatic gesture.
A shattered skirmish ends with a man wounded and three sovereigns found as a landlord and dumb helper assist. The battered victim plans escape to a gym and a doctor while a distraught woman wanders the foggy riverbank seeking solace or remedy in the river’s mercy.
In Slopperton the murder of Mr Mon tague Harding at the Black Mill triggers a frenzied inquest and a crowd that suspects the plainclothes detectives while the Lascar servant and Richard Marwood fall under scrutiny. The coroner’s inquiry reveals a broken cabinet, a rifled pocket book, and a missing sum as investigators search turnpikes and railway stations for Richard, believed to be the killer or a key witness.
