"We are waiting, my dear." "But why isn't he here?" she repeated. "How can we possibly say?" ejaculated Cassis testily. "In a venture of this kind " She caught up the word "venture" and threw it back at him. "No message, nothing." Cranbourne was about to answer, but Torrington interrupted him to tell her of the dog rose Lord Almont had received. "That was from him that was from Tony," she cried.
"Yes." "You're a man of experience, Brown," said Cranbourne. "Ever known a case of a chap who's on the point of going under, blueing the last of his cash on one big dinner?" "I should just think so. There's a type does that sort of thing." "His type?" "Or one very like it." "Many thanks. You've helped me no end. Now I'll get a taxi and drive to Windsor. Goodnight."
They come to Sir G. Carteret's house at Cranbourne, and there were entertained, and all made drunk; and that all being drunk, Armerer did come to the King, and swore to him, "By God, Sir," says he, "you are not so kind to the Duke of York of late as you used to be." "Not I?" says the King. "Why so?" "Why," says he, "if you are, let us drink his health." "Why, let us," says the King.
The driver exhibited some sample upper cuts and left hooks and beseeched Cranbourne to guard himself. But Cranbourne detached a fiver from its fellows and extended it temptingly. "Don't you see I'm in earnest, man?" The tone of his voice had a sobering effect and the amateur pugilist ceased manoeuvring. "Why do you want to know?" he demanded. "Never mind that take the money and tell me."
On the Wiltshire side these rights extended from Cranbourne Chase over the South Wiltshire Downs to Salisbury, and the whole territory, about thirty miles broad, was divided into beats or walks, six or eight in number, each beat provided with a keeper's lodge. This state of things continued to the year 1834, when the chase was "disfranchised" by Act of Parliament.
But boys are very much alike and very dissimilar from the men they grow into and though there were several dozen who might well have passed for Barraclough in infancy no particular one could have been selected with positive assurance. Cranbourne made a list of twenty names and Frencham Altar's was not among them. Rather despondent he said goodbye to the photographer and entered the taxi.
Cranbourne caught the whistling thong and tugged hard, with the result that the driver, who held on to the butt, lost his balance, pitched forward on to the flank of the nearside dray horse and rolled harmlessly on to the road. Cranbourne embraced the opportunity to get out, seized the bit rings of both horses and backed them away from the debris of the taxi.
"Without conflict there would be no progress." Cranbourne shook his head angrily. "What right have we to control other men's destinies?" he said. "Where is the justice that puts such men as ourselves in command?" "Opportunity does that, not justice," said Mr. Torrington slowly. "My first employment was cleaning windows.
"At ten thirty I was plugging a man in the jaw at St. Pancras Station." Cranbourne sprang to his feet. "Honest?" he cried. "Honest." "And you never went to the Berkeley?" "Nowhere near it." A light of wild enthusiasm leapt into Cranbourne's eyes and he brought his hands together with a loud report. "Got it," he cried. "Got it! Oh, what an idea!" "What's up with you?"
He "doubted if the dear old sportsman could endure the idea of being protected at such a cost." "No, damn it all," he concluded. "Why should we split the prize?" "We can't juggle with men's lives," urged Cranbourne. "It's insanity to wilt at the last moment," said Cassis. Up went Lord Almont's hand. "I vote against," he said. Rather piteously Cranbourne appealed to his chief.
