'Oh, what is it, dearest? At this, Mr. Anthony's lady begins to sob 'eart-breakin', sir! 'O Di, says she, all wildlike, 'O Di dear, 'e wants me! 'E says I must go to-night an' I'm afraid. So Miss Lovel, she kisses 'er an' they whisper together. Then Miss Lovel calls for 'er 'oss, an' away they ride very close together, an' Miss L.'s arm about 'er. Lord, sir, who'd a thought it o' Mr. Anthony?
I shall get old and tiresome, and there will be Anthony's children putting your nose out of joint. You will want some one to love you best of all, and you must have children of your own to love. I can't have you withering away into an old maid. I hate old maids: they make me dismal to look at them. I never see Sharp without shuddering.
There were also doubts as to Carleon Anthony's complete sanity for some considerable time before he died. Most of the above I elicited from Marlow, for all I knew of Carleon Anthony was his unexciting but fascinating verse.
While Parkle lived in Gray's Inn, and I myself was uncommercially preparing for the Bar which is done, as everybody knows, by having a frayed old gown put on in a pantry by an old woman in a chronic state of Saint Anthony's fire and dropsy, and, so decorated, bolting a bad dinner in a party of four, whereof each individual mistrusts the other three I say, while these things were, there was a certain elderly gentleman who lived in a court of the Temple, and was a great judge and lover of port wine.
"'Ow should I know?" exclaimed the ostler, his manner losing all respect as he observed Anthony's general down-at-heel appearance. "I didn't think to open 'er mouth nor yet ob-serve 'er teeth " "That'll do, my lad, that'll do " "Oh, will it an' all why then, git out o' this yere yard. Who are you t' ax questions out wi' ye an' quick's the word!"
They met; she saw Anthony take her uncle's arm: the two, turning together, strolled away towards the fell. She went back into the house. Anthony's dog came towards her, slinking along the passage. She caught the animal's head in her hands, and bent over it caressingly, in an impulsive outburst of almost hysterical affection. The two men returned towards the vicarage.
Then for the first time he lost sight of his own distress and thought of the misery of his whole people. It was August, and the Indians should soon be coming from the mainland to spear porpoises. The dulce-pickers on the back of the island reported a good yield from the rocks at low tide, but outside of these few there was wretchedness from Anthony's Nose to Southern Cross. The fish had failed.
For example, he showed a great sympathy for the condition of the poor and outcast and criminals; and had a number of very practical schemes for their benefit. "Two things," he said, in answer to a question of Anthony's, "I would do to-morrow if I had the power. First I would allow of long leases for fifty and a hundred years.
What a burden from his soul. But he said: "You can't possibly leave before to-morrow." Out of the corner of his eye he saw the night-service officer regarding him quizzically. Then, startlingly, came Dot's next words: "I don't mean 'leave' that way." Anthony's hand clutched the receiver fiercely. He felt his nerves turning cold as if the heat was leaving his body. "What?"
"Murder," said I, looking up from my work of staunching Anthony's wound. "Then forbear, and don't do it." "Why, Master Short, they've been forbearin' these ten minutes," a woman's voice put in. "Hush, and hear Master Short: he knows the law, an' all the dubious maxims of the same." "Aye, aye: he says forbear i' the King's name, which is to say, that other forbearing is neither law nor grace.
