'You had better not. I have the bishop and all Beorminster on my side, and you'll be turned out of the town if you don't mind your own business. Oh, I know what I'm talking about, and Miss Whichello gave a crow of triumph, like a victorious bantam. 'I am not accustomed to this this violence, sniffed Mrs Pansey, producing her handkerchief; 'if you if you don't go, I'll call my servants.
Lord bless 'ee, mumbled Mother Jael, blinking her cunning eyes, 'he was one of the gentle Romany sure enough. 'Was he with you long, granny? 'Three week, lovey, jus' three week. He cum to Beorminster and got weary like of you Gentiles, so he made hisself comforbal with us.
'She's been trying to see Jentham, thought Mr Cargrim, recalling Miss Whichello's nervous hesitation. 'I wonder what she knows about him. The man is a mystery, and is in Beorminster for no good purpose. Miss Whichello and the bishop both know that purpose, I'm certain.
'You are about to tell me the truth of those rumours which were prevalent in Beorminster when you brought Miss Arden home to your house? 'Yes. I daresay Mrs Pansey said all sorts of wicked things about me, bishop? 'Well, no! Dr Pendle wriggled uneasily 'she spoke rather of your sister than of you. I do not wish to repeat scandal, Miss Whichello, so let us say no more about the matter.
'My dear, you must content yourself with Captain Pendle till luncheon, for I want Mr Cargrim to come into the garden and see my fig tree; real figs grow on it, Mr Cargrim, said Miss Whichello, solemnly, 'the very first figs that have ever ripened in Beorminster. 'I am glad it is not a barren fig tree, said Cargrim, introducing a scriptural allusion in his most clerical manner.
She knew quite well that Miss Whichello was speaking the truth about the marriage, and that none of her own inventions could stand against the production of the certificate. Moreover, she could not battle against the Bishop of Beorminster, or risk a realisation of Miss Whichello's threat to have her into court.
A further search showed Mr Cargrim that the Beorminster cheque-book had been left behind. 'Hum! said the chaplain again, 'that man must have gone back to London. Dr Pendle is going to meet him there and draw money from his Town bank to pay what he demands. I'll have a look at the butts of that cheque-book when it comes back; the amount of the cheque may prove much.
It only remains for me to say that if as I have heard your lordship intends to make Mr Gabriel rector of Heathcroft, I trust he will be as earnest and devout there as he has been in Beorminster. 'I have not yet decided how to fill up the vacancy, said the bishop, coldly, 'and let me remind you, Mr Cargrim, that as yet the present rector of Heathcroft still holds the living.
What she wished to marry was the gentleman, the clergyman, the son of the Bishop of Beorminster, and unless Gabriel could give her all the pleasures and delights attendant on his worldly position, she was not prepared to become Mrs Gabriel Pendle.
Moreover, the man was greatly liked by Mrs Mosk on account of his religious spirit, and approved of by Bell from the order he kept in the hotel. Therefore Mosk, being in the minority, could only stand on one side and grumble, which he did with true English zeal. It was while Baltic was thus exciting Beorminster that Sir Harry Brace came back.
