Mrs.Greyle, the man you speak of as the Squire, is no more the owner of Scarhaven than I am! He is not Marston Greyle at all.

The real Marston Greyle who came over from America, died the day after he landed, in lodgings at Bristol to which Peter Chatfield and his daughter had taken him, and he is buried in a Bristol cemetery under the name of Mark Grey; Gilling and I found that out during these last few days.

It's an absolute fact.

So the man who has been posing here as the rightful owner is--an impostor!" A dead silence followed this declaration.

The mother and daughter after one long look at Copplestone turned and looked at each other.
