After examining Cychrus, and reading what Westring has written about this beetle, it seems very doubtful whether it possesses any true rasp, though it has the power of emitting a sound.
At this point they turned into the lane to Westring: and Loveday went with him a little beyond Priddlestone to see the fatal elm. The next morning, after breakfast, Hogarth went down old Thring Street, and spent a penny for a note-book to contain the signatures of his association. and Hogarth was soon bending in the street over a paragraph, short but in pica.
In June, John Loveday being then at Westring, one morning O'Hara arrived, he, too, having left mediaeval chasubles to grind at war, and though he no longer taught Hogarth, a relation persisted between them; and always not far from O'Hara was to be found Harris, living now on the pinnacle of dandy bliss, twisting a dandy stick.
It was on the last night of this visit to Westring that O'Hara at a late hour went with stealth and hesitations along a corridor of the Hall, and finally tapped at Loveday's door, who, detesting the priest, and reading in bed, disgustedly dashed off his cigarette ash, as he called: "Come in".
In Westring Vale, as everywhere, times were hard. It was now the property of Baruch Frankl: for at the first failure of Lord Westring to meet terms, Frankl had struck. Now, one of the yeomen of Westring was a certain Richard Hogarth. Frankl took up residence at Westring in September, and by November every ale-house, market, and hiring in Westring had become a scene of discussion.
To Hogarth the whole, so familiar, looked uplifted now, the sunlight of a more celestial essence. Westring he would buy though one memorable night in Colmoor he had arrived at the knowledge that it was not just that Westring should be anyone's; but then what one bought with his own diamonds was surely his own his name being Richard.
And suddenly Loveday: "To-morrow will conclude my fifth week in Westring. What, do you suppose, has made me stay?" "I have wondered". "I work better here...Hogarth, you inspirit me". "Is that so?" "It is, yes.
Within three months of that night, one midnight the people of Prague rose and massacred most of the Jewish residents; the next day the flame broke out in Buda-Pesth; and within a week had become a revolution. On the twelfth morning one of two men in a City bank said to the other: "Come, Frankl, you cannot fail a man in this crisis I only want 80,000 on all Westring "
But the telephone rattled and Frankl heard these words at the receiver: "Wire to hand from Wertheimer: Austrian Abgeordneten-haus passed a Resolution at noon virtually expelling Jewish Race...." When Frankl turned again he had already resolved to possess Westring Vale, and was saying to himself: "Within six months the value of English land should be doubled".
That would keep the fisher rich during the few days that remained to him! But the old man could hardly go himself; if he could, would bungle: the thing was heavy on the lord-of-the-manor's land.... Do a kind act, Hogarth. He would see the old place, his father's grave; and there was a girl who lived in the Hall at Westring whom it was a thrilling thing to be near, even if one did not see....
