When therefore tidings reached them that Tudor had been summoned in a friendly way to Bow Street, that he had there passed a whole morning, and that the inquiry had ended in his temporary suspension from his official duties, and in his having to provide two bailsmen, each for L1,000, as security that he would on a certain day be forthcoming to stand his trial at the Old Bailey for defrauding his ward when, I say, these tidings were carried from room to room at the Weights and Measures, the feelings of surprise were equalled by those of shame and disappointment.
"To tell you the truth, I think she'll get over it. It won't be mortal with her. But do tell me, Major Grantly, what are we to think about this poor Mr Crawley? It was so good of you to be one of his bailsmen." "He would have found twenty in Silverbridge, if he had wanted them." "And do you hear that he has defied the bishop? I do so like him for that.
But had he meant to be inconstant, surely he would never have come to Hogglestock! "I remember you well, sir," said Mr Crawley. "I am under no common obligation to you. You are at present one of my bailsmen." "There's nothing in that," said the major. Mr Thumble, who had caught the name of Grantly, took off his hat, which he had put on his head.
This he did, and took Lady Mason with him before two magistrates for the county who were sitting at Doddinghurst, a village five miles distant from Sir Peregrine's house. Here by agreement they were met by Lucius Mason who was to act as one of the bailsmen for his mother's appearance at the trial.
He must be committed; so, at least said everybody; but then there would be the question of bail. Would the magistrates let him out on bail, and who would be the bailsmen? "Why are the people here?" said Mr Crawley. "I suppose it is a custom when the magistrates are sitting," said his wife. "They have come to see the degradation of a clergyman," said he; "and they will not be disappointed."
Hitherto Major Grantly had never spoken to Mr Crawley. It may be remembered that the major was at the present moment one of the bailsmen for the due appearance of Mr Crawley before the judge, and that he had been present when the magistrates sat at the inn in Silverbridge. He therefore knew the man's presence, but except on that occasion he had never even seen his intended future father-in-law.
Sir Thomas Charleys was clearly of opinion that no bail should be accepted. Another week of remand was granted with the understanding that, if nothing of importance was elicited by that time, and if neither of the other two suspected men were then in custody, Sam should be allowed to go at large upon bail a good, substantial bail, himself in £400, and his bailsmen in £200 each.
Out of the country." "Who has told you that, Mr. Puddleham?" "Isn't it true, sir? You ought to know, Mr. Fenwick, as you're one of the bailsmen." "I've just been at the mill, and I didn't see him." "I don't think you'll ever see him at the mill again, Mr. Fenwick; nor yet in Bullhampton, unless the police have to bring him here." "As I was saying, I didn't see him at the mill, Mr.
"Who'll be his bailsmen?" said the Squire, coming away with his friend the parson from Heytesbury. "There will be no difficulty about that, I should say." "But who will they be, his father for one?" "His brother George, and Jay, at Warminster, who married his sister," said the parson. "I doubt them both," said the Squire. "He sha'n't want for bail. I'll be one myself, sooner. He shall have bail.
Should he try to escape also, and avoid the ignominy of a trial? He knew it would be in vain; he knew that, at this moment, he was dogged at the distance of some thirty yards by an amiable policeman in mufti, placed to watch his motions by his two kind bailsmen, who preferred this small expense to the risk of losing a thousand pounds a-piece.
