Trust me to keep a watchful eye on both these gentlemen; especially on Mr. Bowmore. He is the most dangerous man of the two, and the most likely, if he feels any suspicions, to slip through the fingers of the law. "I have also to report that I discovered three persons in the hall of Justice Bervie's house, as I went out.
Percy followed her into the garden. JUDGING by appearances, Mr. Bowmore looked like a man prematurely wasted and worn by the cares of a troubled life. His eyes presented the one feature in which his daughter resembled him. In shape and color they were exactly reproduced in Charlotte; the difference was in the expression. The father's look was habitually restless, eager, and suspicious.
He hired his horse at an inn in the town, and set forth for Justice Bervie's house at a gallop. During Percy's absence, Mr. Bowmore secured the front and back entrances to the cottage with his own hands. These first precautions taken, he ascended to his room and packed his traveling-bag. "Necessaries for my use in prison," he remarked. "The bloodhounds of Government are after me."
"Not by my wish, Heaven knows!" persisted the cook. "Leave the room!" said Mrs. Bowmore. Even her patience had given way at last. The cook looked as if she declined to believe her own ears. Mrs. Bowmore pointed to the door. The cook said "Oh?" accenting it as a question. Mrs. Bowmore's finger still pointed. The cook, in solemn silence, yielded to circumstances, and banged the door.
Also he read the daily papers with much care and eagerness. It was plain that Miss Peytral had no idea of any cause which might have led to a quarrel between Bowmore and her father, and Hewitt's most cunning questions failed to elicit the smallest suggestion of reason for such an occurrence. Ten days or so ago, Mr.
"Your audacity is beyond belief," he broke out. "And beyond endurance," Mr. Bowmore added. "Understand this, sir! Whatever your defense may be, I object, under any circumstances, to be made the victim of a trick." "You are the victim of your own obstinate refusal to profit by a plain warning," Bervie rejoined. "At the eleventh hour, I entreated you, and I entreated Mr.
The Captain seemed to have stopped the other two on the pathway that leads to the field; he stood, as it might be, between them and the back way to the house and he spoke severely, that he did!" "What did Captain Bervie say?" "He said these words, ma'am: 'For the last time, Mr. Bowmore, says he, 'will you understand that you are in danger, and that Mr.
There will be plenty of time to catch the afternoon coach to London. "Here unless something happens which it is impossible to foresee my report may come to an end." ON the evening of the first of April, Mrs. Bowmore was left alone with the servants. Mr. Bowmore and Percy had gone out together to attend a special meeting of the Club.
Bowmore accompanied Captain Bervie and Miss Bervie on their way back to England, as far as Boulogne. In that pleasant town the banished patriot set up his tent. It was a cheaper place to live in than Paris, and it was conveniently close to England, when he had quite made up his mind whether to be an exile on the Continent, or to go back to his own country and be a martyr in prison.
My petition for a settlement will be presented by friends of mine who can advocate my interests in the House of Commons." Mr. Bowmore took Percy's hand, and shook it warmly. "In such a matter as this you cannot have too many friends to help you," he said. "I myself have some influence, as representing opinion outside the House; and I am entirely at your service.
