also. It was obviously a signal. Sir Henry turned furiously on
Barrymore and accused him of conspiracy. When the man became defiant,

told him to leave his employment right away & in disgrace.
It was then that the bulky figure of Mrs.  Barrymore appeared in a

a signal, she said, to her unhappy brother on the moor, to let him
know that food was ready for him.  His light out there was to show
the spot to which to bring the food.  Seldon, the criminal, was her
younger brother, she explained, who had been spoilt as a child and
lured into crime, but to her he was always the little curly-headed
boy that she had nursed and played with as an elder sister would.
