Therefore it was arranged that the full amount due to the duke on mortgage should be ready for immediate payment; but it was arranged also that the security as held by Miss Dunstable should be very valid. Miss Dunstable, at Boxall Hill or at Greshamsbury, was a very different person from Miss Dunstable in London; and it was this difference which so much vexed Mrs.
"What is it, Frank; you have seldom had anything to say that has not been pleasant for me to hear?" And then the heaviness of visage again gave way for a moment as his eye fell upon his son. "I have been to Boxall Hill, sir." The tenor of his father's thoughts was changed in an instant; and the dread of immediate temporary annoyance gave place to true anxiety for his son.
But his longings, perhaps, were not so much that Mary should be rich, as that she should have the power of heaping coals of fire upon the heads of those people who had so injured her. Louis Scatcherd When Dr Thorne reached Boxall Hill he found Mr Rerechild from Barchester there before him.
After passing over a dry ledge we found the water again deepening; but I took Halliday's hand, and together we waded on, followed by Boxall who was ready to give either of us assistance, should we require it. The water was growing deeper and deeper, till it almost reached our chests. "We shall have to swim for it," I said; "but I don't think it will be far." Just then we again heard Ben's voice.
He did not usually appear before Mary's eyes till three or four in the afternoon; but when he did come forth, he came forth sober and resolute to please. His mother was delighted, and was not slow to sing his praises; and even the doctor, who now visited Boxall Hill more frequently than ever, began to have some hopes.
"I cannot understand why she is standing in this direction," observed Boxall. "Her commander can scarcely be aware of the existence of this reef, or he would be giving it a wider berth." The wind was against us, and the send of the sea drove us back almost as much as we went ahead; so that we made but slow progress.
"What is to be done?" cried Halliday. "If we run, it will certainly be after us." "We cannot run, at all events," said Boxall with less anxiety in his tone than I should have supposed possible, though I knew him to be a dauntless fellow. "We will keep to our right, as I proposed, and perhaps the monster won't follow us after all. It is not likely to come into the water to get at us."
"I suspected that we should find that to be the case," observed Boxall. "If we were to measure the rock on the top of which we saw the monster standing, we should find that the creature's dimensions were not quite so gigantic as we supposed.
Judging from the attitudes of the people on it, we could make out that several were preparing to swim off to us; with the intention, in all likelihood, of making us prisoners, and taking possession of the provisions and water on the raft. On this Boxall called to Ben to work one of the oars, and Halliday and I assisted the Spaniard at the other.
It cannot be expected that Boxall Hill shall be repurchased, as some horrid man, a railway-maker, I believe " "Yes; that's Scatcherd." "Well, he has built a house there, I'm told; so I presume that it cannot be bought back: but it will be your duty, Frank, to pay all the debts that there are on the property, and to purchase what, at any rate, will be equal to Boxall Hill."
