He also states that two of the children of Martha Carrier were "tied neck and heels, till the blood was ready to come out of their noses." The outrages, thus perpetrated, with all the affrighting influences brought to bear, prevailed over Carrier's children. Some of them were used as witnesses against her.
Slap went the carrier's cap in the dirt! "Leave thee go wi' me? Gadzooks!" he cried, "my name be John Saddler why, what? my daddy liveth in Chapel lane, behind Will Underhill's. I stole thy father's apples fifteen years. What! go wi' me? Get on the wain, thou little fool get on all the wains I own, and a plague upon thine eightpence, lad!
The expression on his face was bland and seductive. "At what hour do you say the attempted robbery took place, Mr. Bowditch?" "About eleven o'clock." "Did you have a watch?" "No." "How do you know, then?" The question was asked in a mild way as if he intended to help the carrier's memory. "I don't know exactly; it may have been half-past ten or eleven." "You, of course, saw the man's face?" "No."
All is gone now; of the old Inn as we may see it in a drawing of 1810, a two-storied building with steepish roofs of tiles, dormer windows and railed balconies supported below by pillars of stone, above by pillars of wood, standing about two sides of a courtyard in which the carrier's long covered carts from Horsham or Rochester are waiting, nothing at all remains.
It was a loud cry from the Carrier's wife: a loud, sharp, sudden cry, that made the room ring like a glass vessel. She had risen from her seat, and stood like one transfixed by terror and surprise. The Stranger had advanced towards the fire to warm himself, and stood within a short stride of her chair. But quite still. "Dot!" cried the Carrier. "Mary! Darling! What's the matter?"
When first it came to them through the medium of a floating shred of gossip that had filtered through to the Carrier's Rest, they were too much affected for words.
Then the three lucky diggers had come to the Carrier's Rest, and every one was talking of gold-mining to such an extent that she saddled her horse and rode out to see and chat with her bosom friend, Nellie Murray. When she returned, her father told her that Tony had been in during the day to bid him good-bye, as he was off in the morning for the new field.
And very soon the wedding presents began to pour in; the carrier's cart rumbling up to the rectory door daily and discharging parcels and packets, hampers, cases, crates, and goodness knows what; so that at length I began to dream at night that the rectory was an Indiaman taking in cargo, and that there was not stowage for it all.
And he advanced towards the flat stone, Juanna feeling the while as though they were two of Carrier's victims about to know the Marriage of the Loire. As they came to the stone Leonard heard a sound behind him, a sound of footsteps muffled by the snow, and glancing round he saw Soa rushing towards them, almost naked, a spear-wound in her side, and the light of madness shining in her eyes.
"But that is impossible, Citizen Representative," said he. "Impossible!" snarled Carrier. "A fool's word. The administration desires you to understand that it is not impossible. The sacred will of the august people " Phelippes interrupted him without ceremony. "There is no power in France that can countermand the execution of a sentence of the law." "No no power!" Carrier's loose mouth fell open.
