"But you are sure to be found out, and had better beat a retreat before Mr. Bloundel returns." "I won't lose a moment," replied Pillichody, starting to his feet. "What's the matter?" cried Blaize, suddenly halting. "I only got up to see whether the wine was coming," replied Pillichody.
So ended the Bantam. No sooner had he ceased, than Farmer Blaize jumped up from his chair, and made a fine effort to lift him out of the room from the point of his toe. He failed, and sank back groaning with the pain of the exertion and disappointment. "They're liars, every one!" he cried. "Liars, perj'rers, bribers, and c'rrupters! Stop!" to the Bantam, who was slinking away.
Pride, however, whose inevitable battle is against itself, drew aside the curtains of poor Tom's prison, crying a second time, "Behold your Benefactor!" and, with the words burning in his ears, Richard swallowed the dose: "Well, then, I want you, Mr. Blaize, if you don't mind will you help me to get this man Bakewell off his punishment?"
You must lower me down in the basket attached to the pulley." "And will you dare to engage them?" asked Blaize, peeping out at the shutter. "They are armed. As I live, one is Major Pillichody, the rascal who dared to make love to Patience. I have half a mind to go down with you, and give him a sound drubbing."
I am as certain as I live that it was Rady bribed the Bantam. Well I ran and caught up my father and told him not to go in to old Blaize but I would and eat my words and tell him the truth. He waited for me in the lane. Never mind what passed between me and old Blaize.
Bloundel then set forth, leaving Stephen on guard at the yard door, while his wife remained in the shop, awaiting his return. On reaching the kitchen with the prisoner, Blaize besought his mother, who, as well as Patience, had accompanied him thither, to fetch a bottle of sack.
The tinker sent a rapid succession of white clouds from his mouth, and said that would be taking the devil's side of a bad case. Speed-the- Plough observed energetically that, if Farmer Blaize was on the other, he should be on that side. There was a young gentleman close by, who thought with him.
Stephen instantly seized him, and the man, drawing a sword, tried to free himself from his captor. In the struggle, he dropped a pistol, which Blaize snatching up, discharged with fatal effect against the wretch, who, on examination, proved to be Pillichody. Efforts were made to check the fire, but in vain. The villain had accomplished his diabolical purpose too well.
Striking off on the right, they came to a spot covered over with immense grey stones, resembling those rocky fragments used by the Druids in the construction of a cromlech, and, as it was quite dark, it required some caution in passing through them. Guided by the keeper, who here took hold of the bridle of his horse, Leonard threaded the pass with safety; but Blaize was not equally fortunate.
On communicating his intention to his host, Wingfield would have dissuaded him; but as Leonard affirmed he had no fear of infection, he desisted from the attempt. Just as the apprentice was starting, Blaize came up to him, and said, "Leonard, I have a great curiosity to see a pest-house, and should like to go with you, if you will let me." The apprentice stared at him in astonishment.
