Cold as the day was the people looked hot and full of puzzled eagerness, and their smoking breath came in long jets into the quiet room. "My lord, look what we've found on the top of Orrisdel," said Jabez, and he stretched out the coat, while one of the men behind him relieved him of the beaver. The coat was a long black-cloth coat, with lappets and tails and wristbands turned over. The Bishop saw at a glance that it was the coat of a clergyman. "Leave it to me to know this coat, my lord, for it was myself that made it," said Jabez. The Bishop's brain turned giddy, and the perspiration started from his temples, but his dignity and his largeness did not desert him. "Is it my poor Ewan's coat?" he asked, as he held out his hand to take it; but his tone was one of almost hopeless misery and not of inquiry. "That's true, my lord," said Jabez, and thereupon the little tailor started an elaborate series of identifications, based chiefly on points of superior cut and workmanship. But the Bishop cut the tailor short with a wave of the hand. "You found it on Orrisdale Head?" asked the Bishop. And one of the men behind pushed his head between the shoulders of those who were before him, and said: "Aw, yes, my lord, not twenty yards from the cliff, and I found something else beside of it." Just then there was a further noise in the passage outside the library, and a voice saying: "Gerr out of the way, you old loblolly-boys, bringing bad newses still, and glad of them, too." It was Hommy-beg returned to Bishop's Court with yet another message, but it was a message of his own and not of the Deemster's. He pushed his way through the throng until he came face to face with the Bishop, and then he said: "The Dempster is afther having the doctor down from Ramsey, and the big man is sayin' the neck was broken, and it was a fall that killed the young pazon, and nothing worse, at all at all." The large sad eyes of the Bishop seemed to shine without moving as Hommy spoke, but in an instant the man who had spoken before thrust his word in again, and then the Bishop's face grew darker than ever with settled gloom. "It was myself that found the coat and hat, my lord; and a piece nearer the cliff I found this, and this; and then, down the brew itself--maybe a matter of ten feet down--I saw this other one sticking in a green corry of grass and ling, and over I went, hand-under-hand, and brought it up." While he spoke the man struggled to the front, and held out in one hand a belt, or what seemed to be two belts buckled together and cut across as with a knife, and in the other hand two daggers. A great awe fell upon every one at sight of the weapons. The Bishop's face still showed a quiet grandeur, but his breathing was labored and harassed.
