Blanchard's office, the assistant weigher, who was a Republican, and showed him my side, with clothes saturated with blood. He was so shocked and excited that he was taken ill and died in just two weeks. He advised me to enter a complaint against Michael Walsh, which I did, and he was placed in jail in default of thousand dollar bond. I was sent to the hospital.
Alf could not add anything to that for a long time. "Fine night," he presently recorded. "D'you like a walk? I mean ... I'm very fond of it, a night like this. Mr. Blanchard's all right, I suppose?" "Oh, yes. She's there." Emmy could not bring herself to name Jenny to him. Yet her mind was busy thinking of the earlier jar, recomposing the details, recalling the words that had passed.
Back came Blanchard's mind to his mother with a whole-hearted swing. "Ess," he said, "you 'm right theer. My plaace is handy to her till she 'm movin'; an' if he tries to take me before she 'm down-house again, by God! I'll " "Let it bide that way then. Put t' other matter out o' your mind so far as you can. Fill your pipe an' suck deep at it.
As yet, at any rate, the contemplation of Will Blanchard's ruin was good to Grimbal, and the accident of his discovery that Clement Hicks knew some secret facts to his enemy's disadvantage served vastly to quicken the lust for a great revenge.
"You, citoyen, in the meanwhile," he said to Desgas, "go back to Captain Jutley as fast as you can, and tell him to let you have another dozen men, and bring them with you along the St. Martin Road, where I daresay you will soon overtake the Jew's cart with myself in it. There will be hot work presently, if I mistake not, in the Pere Blanchard's hut.
She 'm a dutiful, gude maiden, and I'd be sore to think my awn words won't carry their weight when the right moment comes for speaking 'em. Blanchard's business pulled down the corners of her purty mouth a bit; but young hearts caan't keep mournful for ever." Billy Blee then took his turn on the argument.
Will stood still and uttered a triumphant but inarticulate sound half-laugh, half-sob, half-thanksgiving. Then the man spoke, slow and deep, "He shall go for a soldier!" "Theer! Now I knaw 't is Blanchard back an' no other! Hear me, will 'e; doan't plan no such uneven way of life for un." "By God, he shall!" The words came back over Will Blanchard's shoulder, for he was fast vanishing.
"I can't, because it happened to be just the word I wanted to hear. My quarrel with Will Blanchard's no business of yours. The man's your enemy too; and you're a fool to stand in your own light, You know something that I don't know, concerning those weeks during which he disappeared. Well, tell me. You can only live your life once. Why let it run to rot when the Red House Farm wants a tenant?
It was a very considerable time before such event might reasonably be expected and a second look alarmed Blanchard's heart, for on the little chimney-stack he knew each pot, and it was not the kitchen chimney but that of his mother's bedroom which now sent evidence of a newly lighted fire into the morning. In a second Will's plans and purposes were swept away before this spectacle.
Once more I had trusted in Fergus Ingleby, and once more those sharp wits of his had been too much for me. "I asked my informant if Mr. Blanchard was aware as yet of his daughter's departure.
