However, there was no more time, for Simon Bunce, the old man-at-arms whom Sir Lancelot had appointed to meet him there, came in sight through the trees, riding an old grey war-horse, much resembling himself in the battered and yet strong and effective air of both.
"And if I have been taken in, Bunce, in these calicoes, you're the man that has done it," said the landlord, laughing. "This piece was sold by you into my own hands, last March was a year, when you came back from the Cherokees." "Now, don't! Well, I guess there must be some mistake; you aint sure, now, friend: might be some other dealer that you bought from?" "None other than yourself, Bunce.
'Why on earth should I ask her to do such a thing? inquired Bunce, laying down his pipe on the grass; it had gone out since Totty's passing. He looked at his son with bent brows, and rather fiercely. 'Well, I know I'd like her to, and so would Nelly. I can get on with Miss Nancarrow, 'cause she's got so much sense. I don't think much of other women.
It was just after this interesting period in the history of the trial and when Pippin, who could not be made to give up the case, as Ralph had required, was endeavoring to combat with the attorney of the state some incidental points of doctrine, and to resist their application to certain parts of the previously, recorded testimony that our heroine, Lucy Munro, attended by her trusty squire, Bunce, made her appearance in the courthouse.
"Why, nothing really happened," she said evasively. "Mr. Bunce was ahead with my father. In fact he was out of sight when my pony started to run. I was riding with Mr. Hamar, and as we didn't care anything about the mine we didn't hurry. Before we realized it the others were far ahead over a hill or something, I forget what was ahead, only they couldn't be seen.
He suggested this idea to Bunce, but when he came to talk of the propriety of returning the animal the moment he was fairly in safety, the speculator failed entirely to perceive the moral of his philosophy. The sheriff's officers came upon the wagoner a few hours after the two had separated from him.
'Well, Mr. Bunce? 'That's all nonsense! he exclaimed. 'How can I tell that I should ever be able to pay you back? 'So you won't? 'Of course I can't. It's just like you to offer, but of course I can't. 'Very well, I can't help it. She lowered her voice. 'I forgot to tell you that I can't get the money till I'm married. It doesn't matter, I've offered it. Bunce stared at her.
The pedler lingered to hear no further; and the quick ear of the lawyer, as he returned into the hall, distinguished the rumbling motion of his cart hurrying down the road. But he had scarcely reseated himself and resumed his glass, before Bunce also reappeared. "Why, man, I thought you were off. You burn daylight; though they do say, those whom water won't drown, rope must hang."
That affair of the carriage was altogether wrong, and did Mr. Turnbull much harm for many a day afterwards. When he got outside the door, where were the twelve policemen guarding his carriage, a great number of his admirers endeavoured to shake hands with him. Among them was the devoted Bunce. But the policemen seemed to think that Mr.
Young Clifford and the Lord of Peelholm should be welcome, or more truly he could not help receiving them, but the archers must stay outside, their entertainment in beef and ale being committed to Bunce and the chief warder, while the two noblemen were conducted to the castle hall.
