Sowerby, also, was almost more than civil to him, as was natural, seeing that this very young man by a mere scratch of his pen could turn a scrap of paper into a bank-note of almost fabulous value. "So you have the East Barsetshire hounds at Boxall Hill; have you not?" said the duke. "The hounds are there," said Frank. "But I am not the master." "Oh! I understood " "My father has them.
He had spoken of it as yet to no one, and he thought that he was resolved not to do so while Sir Louis should yet be in the land of the living. On reaching home, he found a note from Lady Scatcherd, informing him that Dr Fillgrave had once more been at Boxall Hill, and that, on this occasion, he had left the house without anger.
Had we not been found, he had ordered his people to make a few prisoners, in order that they might be exchanged for Boxall. Thus the very circumstance which at first appeared the most disastrous to us, as is often the case in life, resulted ultimately in our favour.
Of course, after hearing this we could not detain the kind negress; and wishing us good-bye, she took her departure, while we set to at the welcome food she had brought us. "We have indeed reason to be thankful for this unexpected assistance," observed Boxall. "He who put it into the heart of this kind negress to bring us this food, will find us the means of escape."
Go to Boxall Hill for a while; for two or three years or so; live with your mother there and take to farming." "What! farming?" "Yes; that's what all country gentlemen do: take the land there into your own hand, and occupy your mind upon it." "Well, doctor, I will upon one condition." Dr Thorne sat still and listened.
Now Lady Scatcherd was no fit companion for Mary Thorne, and though Mary had often asked to be taken to Boxall Hill, certain considerations had hitherto induced the doctor to refuse the request; but there was that about Lady Scatcherd, a kind of homely honesty of purpose, an absence of all conceit as to her own position, and a strength of womanly confidence in the doctor as her friend, which by degrees won upon his heart.
What good will it do him, though he should kill the beast? He curses between his teeth, and everything is vanity and vexation of spirit. "They've just run into him at Boxall Springs, Mr. Jones," says a farmer whom he passes on the road. Boxall Springs is only a quarter of a mile before him, but he wonders how the farmer has come to know all about it.
"We can't make it," he said softly. "Not the two of us but Laura, girlie, this is worth the game!" "Yes we can, Roger," she said eagerly. "Think! We can be married when we've left the desert. It's not quite ten miles to Boxall Cañon. We can go up Boxall over the range and cross Death Flat." "I was thinking of that, sweetheart," he replied.
Happily, none of the savages could swim, or, at all events, they dared not trust themselves in the water, fearing that if they did so Boxall might have attacked them with his sword; though some, in their rage, threw large pieces of wood and other articles, which came very near us; and one of the most furious flung his knife, which happily passed between Boxall's legs.
The latter also stretched out his hand, and we hoped that the interview would pass off peaceably, when, to our astonishment, we saw the Arab lean over from his saddle, and by a sudden jerk seize Boxall by the arm and place him by his side; then giving the animal a blow with his spear or goad, it set off at a gallop across the desert.
