"That's better, Master Richard, I'm a poor hand at understanding jargon of this kind, but I have an idea of how to deal with thieves and murderers." "Be careful, Seth," Barrington whispered. The attack was immediate and sharp, without ceremony, and determined. Misunderstanding Barrington's attitude they were perhaps a little careless, believing him a coward at heart.
"Oh, you don't mean she took our baby," cried Willard passionately, his eyes aflame. "She took our baby. She has cared for it all these years through poverty and failing health and now that she is dying, she thought the child ought to know. They have been at Mrs. Barrington's since some time in August."
"There's quick death for the first man who crosses this threshold," Seth muttered as he went to the door. "Richard! Richard!" "Jeanne!" Barrington's head was lowered as he whispered her name. It seemed as though failure had made him ashamed. "I know your secret, dear, I know it and am glad," she whispered. "I thank God that I am loved by such a man.
"Is that all we have to do together?" Dalton glanced down at her, and his lips twitched a little at the corners. "For the present, I fear. Luncheon comes next, doesn't it? I had hoped but I heard you accept Mr. Barrington's invitation to his house." "Yes," absently. "Then I won't see you again?" "What train did you think of taking for home?"
This was the man who had brought all his scheming to naught; his enemy, a daring and dangerous foe. He noted the expression on Barrington's face as the crowd went by, saw the intention in his eyes. In another moment his enemy might be destroyed, gashed with pikes, trampled under foot, yet Latour put out his hand and stopped him. Why?
There is no place for an honest man to-day in France. My master told me to say that." This news added to Barrington's feeling of impotence, and was depressing. Had his days been full of active danger it would not have had such an effect upon him. Naturally disposed to see the silver lining of every cloud, he was unable to detect it now. Instead, his mind was full of questions. Was Bruslart honest?
Yet the course thus followed was no mere inspiration of the moment; it was the result of clear views previously held and expressed. However informed by natural ardor, it had the tenacity of an intellectual conviction. Thus he wrote to D'Estaing, after the failure to destroy Barrington's squadron at Sta.
Nightmare was his long after the day had broken and men and women were abroad in Beauvais. Sharp hammering at the door, long continued, finally brought an end to Barrington's nightmare hours and Seth's deep slumbers. The sun was streaming in through the little window, revealing the dust and the dilapidation of this lodging. Seth went to the door.
"It is a good plea," said Barrington. "I cannot question anything my sister does." "Then we will let it pass, though I am afraid you will consider what I am going to ask a further presumption. You have forward wheat to deliver, and find it difficult to obtain it?" Barrington's smile was somewhat grim. "In both cases you have surmised correctly." Winston nodded.
The passage in particular which Ferrier's dying hand had marked he recalled the gleam in Barrington's black eyes as he had listened to it, the instinctive movement in his powerful hand, as though to pounce, vulturelike, on the letter and his own qualm of anxiety his sudden sense of having gone too far his insistence on discretion. Discretion indeed! The whole thing was monstrous treachery.
