"Who is the elder of those two physicians?" questioned Theodore of one of the waiters as they left the room together. "That's Dr. Arnold, just the greatest man in this city folks think, and the young fellow is Dr. Vincent, a student once, and now a partner of Dr. Arnold." Theodore mentally hoped, as he recognized the familiar names, that Dr. Armitage's absence would be indefinitely prolonged.
There is no time to spare, for they were to join a party from Longroyd Bridge, at ten o'clock at the steeple in Sir George Armitage's fields, which ain't more than three miles from the mill. It's half past ten now, but maybe they will be late. I couldn't get away before, and indeed feyther only learned the particulars just as I started.
I feel quite restored," said Armitage, rising; and the color swept into his face and he spoke with quick decision. "Oh, Claiborne, will you kindly give me the time?" Claiborne laughed. It was a laugh of real relief at the change in Armitage's tone. "It's a quarter of seven. This little scrap didn't take as much time as you thought it would."
The poor girl's under my protection, and I really can't allow " Hewitt raised his hand, and shook his head deprecatingly. "My dear sir, haven't I said that I don't suspect a soul? Do let me know how the people were distributed, as nearly as possible. Let me see. It was your, niece, I think, who found that Mrs. Armitage's door was locked this door, in fact on the day she lost her brooch?"
The statement was stolen from him for the Winkelried conspirators by these men we now have locked up in this house." The Ambassador's eyes blazed with excitement as these statements fell one by one from Armitage's lips; but Armitage went on: "I trust that my plan for handling these men will meet with your approval.
This outbreak had occurred during Armitage's journey, and when he, after much anxiety, had got his men back to the ship, Wilson's medical examination proved that Ferrar, Heald and Cross were all attacked, while the remainder of the party were not above suspicion.
Although it was a fine exhibition of horsemanship, the fellows, evidently afraid of us, had kept too far off for their object, and the bullets fell short. At the same moment Armitage, Story, and Pierre fired. Armitage's bullet struck the horse of the leading brave, which however still galloped on.
He tossed the stick of a match into the fireplace, where a pine-knot smoldered, drew his pipe into a glow and watched Oscar screw the top on a box of ointment which he had applied to Armitage's arm. The little soldier turned and stood sharply at attention. "Yon are Mr. John Armitage, sir. A man's name is what he says it is. It is the rule of the country." "Thank you, Oscar. Your words reassure me.
For this reason I am glad that we shall have the benefit of Judge Claiborne's advice." "Judge Claiborne is the counsel of our embassy," said the Ambassador. His gaze was fixed intently on Armitage's face, and he hitched himself forward in his chair impatiently, grasping his crop nervously across his knees.
On the right lay the old hunting preserve and Armitage's bungalow. As they drew into the curve they heard a revolver crack twice, as before, followed by answering shots and cries and the thump of hoofs. "Ohee! Oscar has struck them again. Steady now! Watch your horse!" And Armitage raised his arm high above his head and fired twice as a warning to Oscar.
