"Ah, yes the horses!" said Barnabas thoughtfully. "How is your arm now, Dick?" "A bit stiff, but otherwise right as a trivet, Bev. But now about yourself, my dear fellow, what on earth possessed you to lay Carnaby such a bet? What a perfectly reckless fellow you are! Of course the money is as good as in Carnaby's pocket already, not to mention Chichester's damn him!
Now," turning to her husband, "make them all catch hands, Maurice all in a ring, don't you know and I'll show you." They all catch hands; there is a slight tussle between Captain Marryatt and Mr. Chichester's right hand. This, providentially, is arranged by Mr. Gower's giving in, and consenting on a grimace from her to take her left hand. Not that he wants it.
"And she told me everything," said the Viscount, beginning to stride up and down the room, with his usual placidity quite gone, "I mean about about the button you found, it was that devil Chichester's it seems, and and Beverley, give me your hand! She told me how you confronted the fellow. Ha! I'll swear you had him shaking in his villain's shoes, duellist as he is."
The air the lights let us " Almost as if blindly he went forth from the shelter, followed by Malling. "It's better here," he said. "Better here! Mr. Malling, forgive me, but just then a hideous knowledge seemed really to catch me by the throat. Chichester is turning my wife against me. There is a terrible change in her. She is beginning to observe me through Chichester's eyes.
Poor fellow's been very strange lately, Gaunt's been pressing him again worse than ever, even threatened him with the Marshalsea. Consequently, the flowing bowl has continually brimmed Chichester's doing, of course, and he seems to consider you his mortal enemy, and in short, I think it only right to put you on your guard." "You mean against Chichester?" "I mean against Barrymaine!"
But, as he ended, Billy Button pointed a shaking finger downwards at the grass midway between them, and spoke: "Look!" he whispered, "look! Do you not see it bubbling so dark, down there among the grass? Ah! it reaches your feet, Barnaby Bright. But look yonder! it rises to his heart, look!" and with a sudden, wild gesture, he pointed to Chichester's rigid figure.
The one thought that beat through her quick brain was: "Will Jerry come back for me?" Mrs. Chichester's uncompromising attitude had a great deal to do with what followed. Had she shown the slightest suggestion of fairness or kindness toward Peg things might have resulted differently. But her adamantine attitude decided Jerry. He resolved to fly in the face of the proprieties.
The other night for a whole hour, having assumed the double man, I speculated on his existence, spied upon by his other self. And you never did that?" He looked at Chichester. "When I was making my sermon I was engrossed by the thought of the watching man." Malling's idea had evidently laid a grip upon Chichester's mind. "Tell me what the double's existence would be, according to you," he said.
Half a minute more, and the little craft had darted in between two formidable walls of leaping water and was speeding downward at a speed of fully fifteen miles an hour, with Dick and Phil standing upright and thrusting their long poles first to one side and then the other as Chichester's experienced eye detected the signs which mark the presence of dangerous rocks to right or left, and signalled accordingly.
I sat down and read over the Bishop of Chichester's' sermon upon the anniversary of the King's death, much cried up, but, methinks, but a mean sermon. By and by comes in my Lord, and he and I to talke of many things in the Navy, one from another, in general, to see how the greatest things are committed to very ordinary men, as to parts and experience, to do; among others, my Lord Barkeley.
