Lord Chesham, who was in command, was sitting on the kopje with his staff, and I climbed up and joined them, the cavalry remaining as before underneath the hill while the scouts went out. We sat for an hour, comparing each other's glasses, until the stones became hotter and hotter and the sky line began to wave in the heat.
Everyone was back at the kopje in no time, and Lord Chesham sent out Lord Scarborough with one squadron, and Colonel Mahon with another. I went with Lord Scarborough's. We rode out to the point at which the picket had been cut off, and saw more and more Boers coming from the north about seventy but they never got within range, although they worked closer and closer.
As usual in such cases, both parties claimed the victory. Baxter got thanks only from the King's adherents; "Pitchford's troops and the leader of the Chesham men" retired from their hard day's work, to enjoy the countenance and favor of Cromwell, as men after his own heart, faithful to the Houses and the Word, against kingcraft and prelacy.
And you can make your mind easy for the present I don't see any reason for any unpleasant publicity just now in fact, I think you'll find there won't be any. The unpleasant publicity, ma'am," concluded Starmidge, with an almost imperceptible wink at Easleby, "will be for some other people." The two detectives bowed themselves out, re-entered their car, and were driven on to Chesham.
There did the leader of the Chesham men begin, and afterwards Pitchford's soldiers set in; and I alone disputed with them from morning until almost night; for I knew their trick, that if I had gone out first, they would have prated what boasting words they listed, and made the people believe that they had baffled me, or got the best; therefore I stayed it out till they first rose and went away."
“It’s that place in Chesham Square. The people he cursed so. I don’t know. What does it matter!” “And that fellow, what did he do or say to you?” “I don’t remember. . . . Nothing . . . . I don’t care. Don’t ask me,” she pleaded in a weary voice. “All right. I won’t,” assented Ossipon tenderly.
Outside the bank he opened the slip of paper which had just been handed to him, and saw that another journey lay before him. Mrs. Lester lived at Lowdale Court, near Chesham.
"Suppose women truly mistrust other women; are they to pretend the contrary?" "They can be silent, and try to stamp out an unworthy, a destructive, feeling." He said nothing for a moment. Then he looked up at Meyer Isaacson and continued: "Are you going anywhere when you leave here?" "I've accepted something in Chesham Place. Why?" "Must you go to it?" "No."
Starmidge, lingering a moment on the steps of the bank to consider whether he would go straight to Chesham or repair to headquarters for a consultation with his superior, was suddenly joined by the manager who had just given him his information. "You are going down to Lowdale Court?" asked the manager. "During the morning yes," answered Starmidge.
Before two, they were in the pleasant valley which lies between Chenies and Chesham and pulling up at the door of a fine old Jacobean house, which, set in the midst of delightful lawns and gardens, looked down on the windings of the river Chess.
