Lucy, after the manner of maids in love, was building air-castles with Sir Harry's assistance, and Mrs Pendle kept her usual watch on her weak heart and fluctuating pulse. The bishop thus escaped their particular notice, and it was mainly Cargrim who saw how distraught and anxious he was.
Then, failing Gabriel, the chaplain hoped that Dr Pendle might give it to him, and if he did so, Mr Cargrim was quite willing to let bygones be bygones. He would not search out the bishop's secret at all events for the present although, if Dean Alder died, he might make a later use of his knowledge to get himself elected to the vacant post.
By the way' with a sudden change 'have you a man called Jentham here? 'Yes, I have, growled Mosk, looking suspiciously at his questioner. 'What do you know of him, sir? 'Nothing; but I take an interest in him as he seems to be one who has known better days. 'He don't know them now, at all events, Mr Cargrim. He owes me money for this last week, he does.
This was the punishment and dismissal of Michael Cargrim, who indeed merited little leniency at the hands of the man whose confidence he had so shamefully abused.
Furthermore, Miss Whichello was prepared to give Cargrim a sufficient reason for her visit, so that he might not invent one. Only by so open a course could she keep the secret of her thirty-year-old acquaintance with the dead man. As a rule, the little old lady hated subterfuge, but in this case her only chance of safety lay in beating Pansey, Cargrim and Company with their own weapons.
'This is a pot of calf's-foot jelly for your mother, Miss Mosk, she said. 'Mr Cargrim came to luncheon at my house to-day, and he told me how ill your mother is. I was informed that she was asleep, so, not wishing to disturb her, I waited until you returned. 'It is very kind of you to take so much trouble, Miss Whichello, said Bell, gratefully receiving the jelly.
'Certainly we are friends, sir; I am honoured by the interest you take in me. And now, my lord, added Cargrim, with a sweet smile, 'may I prefer a little request which was in my mind when I came to see you? 'Of course! of course, Michael; what is it? 'I have some business to transact in London, my lord; and I should like, with your permission, to be absent from my duties for a few days.
'Always speak well of your patients. Altogether, so high stood the bishop's reputation as a transparently honest man that no one suspected anything was wrong save Graham and Mr Cargrim.
'Right off, sir. When I got back to the library after showing him out I found his lordship gas'ly pale. 'And his paleness was caused by the noisy conduct of this man? 'Couldn't have bin caused by anything else, sir. 'Dear me! dear me! this is much to be deplored, sighed Cargrim, in his softest manner. 'And a clergyman too.
But, to speak frankly, there was no wriggling in the matter, and had the bishop felt himself called upon to explain his business to anyone, he could have given a very reasonable account of the election of Cargrim to the post of chaplain.
