In the country other people's business is admirably well known; and the lord of Mardykes was conscious, perhaps, that his neighbours knew as well he did, that the utmost he could do was to pay the interest charged upon it, and to live in a frugal way enough. The lake measures some four or five miles across, from the little jetty under the walls of Mardykes Hall to Cloostedd.
"Now you stand between the letters. Cast your eyes on the stone," said Feltram suddenly, and his low stern tones almost startled the Baronet. Looking round, he perceived that he had so placed himself that his point of vision was exactly from between the two great letters, now half-obliterated, which he had been scrutinizing just as he turned about to look toward the forest of Cloostedd.
"Perhaps those gipsies you speak of found the money where you found them; and in that case, as Cloostedd Forest, and all that is in it is my property, their sending it to me is more like my servant's handing me my hat and stick when I'm going out, than making me a present." "You will not be wise to rely upon the law, Sir Bale, and to refuse the help that comes unasked.
But if you like your mortgages as they are, keep them; and if you like my terms as they are, take them; and when you have made up your mind, let me know." Philip Feltram dropped the heavy purse into his capacious coat-pocket, and walked, muttering, out of the room. The Message from Cloostedd "Come back, Feltram; come back, Philip!" cried Sir Bale hastily. "Let us talk, can't we?
From that day forth treasure-seekers had from time to time explored the woods of Cloostedd; and many a tree of mark was dug beside, and the earth beneath many a stone and scar and other landmark in that solitary forest was opened by night, until hope gradually died out, and the tradition had long ceased to prompt to action, and had become a story and nothing more.
"In the forest of Cloostedd I met to-day some people, one of whom can foretell events, and told me the names of the winners of the first three races at Heckleston, and gave me this purse, with leave to lend you so much money as you care to stake upon the races. I take no security; you shan't be troubled; and you'll never see the lender, unless you seek him out."
Julaper's room, and told her that he had made up his mind to leave the house forthwith to cross the lake to the Cloostedd side in Tom Marlin's boat, and then to make his way up the hill alone to Trebeck's lonely farmstead, Mrs. Julaper was overwhelmed. "Ye'll do no such thing to-night, anyhow. You're not to go like that.
"I say, Feltram, what difference can it possibly make to him if I choose to ride round to Cloostedd Forest instead of crossing the lake in a boat?" Feltram smiled darkly, and answered. "I can't tell. Can you?" "Of course I can't I say I can't; besides, what audacity of a fellow like that presuming to prescribe to me! Utterly ludicrous!
Why of course it was simply the reflection of his own hand in the water, in that vivid lightning. When you have been out a little and have gained strength you will shake off these dreams." "I should not wonder," said Sir Bale. It is not to be supposed that Sir Bale reported all that was in his memory respecting his strange vision, if such it was, at Cloostedd.
The result was that Rainbow came in first, and I should be afraid to say how much Sir Bale won. It was a sum that paid off a heavy debt, and left his affairs in a much more manageable state. From this time Sir Bale prospered. He visited Cloostedd no more; but Feltram often crossed to that lonely shore as heretofore, and it is believed conveyed to him messages which guided his betting.
