The Manor was long since furnished, and Richard entertained visitors. He had provided himself with a housekeeper, as well as the three or four necessary servants, and kept a saddle-horse as well as that which drew his trap to and fro when he had occasion to go to Agworth station.
I should fall into a monomania, and one of a very loathsome kind. Mr. Wyvern pondered. They walked on a few paces before Hubert again spoke. 'There was a letter from her in the "Belwick Chronicle" yesterday morning Something on the placard in Agworth station caused me to buy a copy.
I have just spent a few days at Agworth. Doubtless he had often been at Agworth; perchance he was there, so close by, in some of the worst hours of her misery. When the ladies withdrew Mrs. Boscobel seated herself by Adela for a moment. 'So you really knew Mr. Eldon? 'Yes, but it is some time since I saw him, Adela replied simply, smiling in the joy of being so entirely mistress of herself.
Eldon was so impatient to return to the Manor that a room was prepared for her as soon as possible, and she came from her house at Agworth before Mutimer had been gone a week. Through the summer her strength had failed rapidly; it was her own conviction that she could live but a short time longer.
Incapable of ignoble exultation, it seemed to him that true delicacy dictated a personal interview with the man who, judging from Yottle's report, had so cheerfully acquitted himself of the hard task imposed by honour. But as he walked over from Agworth this zeal cooled. Could he trust Mutimer to appreciate his motive?
'I shall not remain at Agworth. I am going to London. 'To to study? 'Something or other, I don't quite know what. Good-bye! 'Won't you come to say good-bye to us to mother? 'Shall you be at home to-morrow afternoon, about four o'clock say? 'Oh, yes; the very time. 'Then I will come to say good-bye. 'In that case we needn't say it now, need we? It is only good afternoon.
In the first place Mr. Yottle had to be sent for from a friend's house in the country, where he was spending Sunday; then there was long waiting for a train back to Agworth. The Rodmans, much puzzled to account for the disorder, postponed dinner. Adela, however, dined alone, and but slightly, though she had not eaten since breakfast. Then fatigue overcame her.
'No, they have only broken all the windows, Hubert replied. 'But I am terribly afraid for the effect upon my mother. We must have the doctor round at once. The vicar was admitted to the house, and a messenger forthwith despatched for the medical man, who resided halfway between Wanley and Agworth. On returning to his mother's room Hubert found his fears only too well justified; Mrs.
Wyvern met him. 'Let us go into the library, he said to the clergyman. 'I want to talk to you. He had resumed his ordinary manner. Without mention of his mother, he began at once to speak of the rioters. 'They were led by that man Redgrave; there can be no doubt of that. I shall go to Agworth at once and set the police at work. 'I have already done that, replied the vicar.
His former visit, when he was refused at the Walthams' door, had been paid at an impulse; he had come down from London by an early train, and did not even call to see his mother at her new house in Agworth. Nor did ho visit her on his way back; he walked straight to the railway station and took the first train townwards. To-day he came in a more leisurely way.
