"The idea of hunting a man round the Poplars Farm like like an Indian squaw! He's a regular cadger, that's what he is, and that's all he's fit for. However, it's his way of doing business and I shan't alter him. Well, Mr. Cossey," he went on, "this is a very sad state of affairs, at any rate so far as I am concerned.
"Oh, thank you," he answered, "I always like to have a second gun in case I should want it. It's no trouble, you know." "All right," said the Squire. "Ida and I will come down with the luncheon to the grove. Good-bye." After crossing the moat, Edward Cossey walked by himself, followed by his man and a very fine retriever, and the Colonel talked to George, who was informing him that Mr.
And here a strange thing happened. A brother who had been noticing the winks and smiles cast broadly about, and thinking in all human justice that Elder Cossey was getting more than his share, got up and declared with emotion, that he'd "heered some say how folks was all'as talkin' about their sins for effex, and didn't mean nothin' by it, but I can say this much, thar ain't no talkin' for effex about Brother Cossey; he has been, and is, every bit jest as honest mean as what he 's been a-tellin' on!"
Edward Cossey also, thanks chiefly to Belle's tender nursing, had almost recovered, with one exception he was, and would be for life, stone deaf in the right ear. The paralysis which the doctors feared had not shown itself. One of his first questions when he became convalescent was addressed to Belle Quest.
Presently the pony carriage pulled up at his door, and the boy who was sitting behind got down and rang the bell. He stepped back from the window, wondering what it could be. "Will you please give that note to Mr. Cossey," said Ida, as the door opened, "and ask him to send an answer?" and she was gone.
Cossey must be the "only thing she loved," and now he thought of it, when she believed that he was dead she called him "Edward, Edward." Harold Quaritch was as simple and unsuspicious a man as it would be easy to find, but he was no fool. He had moved about the world and on various occasions come in contact with cases of this sort, as most other men have done.
"Oh," said the Squire, "I have nothing to say against Quaritch, indeed I like the man, but I suppose that if he has 600 pounds a year, it is every sixpence he can count on." "I had rather marry him upon six hundred a year than Edward Cossey upon sixty thousand." "Ah, yes, I have heard young women talk like that before, though perhaps they think differently afterwards.
"Quite right quite right," said the Squire, "that will take it out of the custom." "Perhaps the Solicitor to the Treasury may hold a different opinion," said Cossey, with another sneer. Just then Ida took her hand from her face. There was a dewy look about her eyes, and the last ripples of a happy smile lingered round the corners of her mouth.
Quest and Mr. Cossey, and I must go and say how do you do." Harold Quaritch looked round, feeling unreasonably irritated at this interruption to his little advances, and for the first time saw Edward Cossey. He was coming along in the wake of Mrs.
"Very well. I am sure that I shall never have to reproach you with the words. I will tell you. I have virtually promised to marry Mr. Edward Cossey, should he at any time be in a position to claim fulfilment of the promise, on condition of his taking up the mortgages on Honham, which he has done." Harold Quaritch took a step back and looked at her in horrified astonishment. "/What?/" he asked.
