John the Clerk was saying that he had to bury the Deemster; Jonaique, the barber, that he had been sent for to "cut" the Bishop; and Claudius Kewley, the farmer, that he had three fields of barley still uncut and a stack of oats unthatched. "Oh, Lord," cried Claudius, "let me not die till I've got nothing to do!"
The woman had been caught by a boathook in attempting to get into the water. She was struggling to drown herself. The Deemster watched the prisoner intently. "Is anything known about her?" he asked. The clerk answered that she appeared to be a stranger, but she would give no information. Then the sergeant of police stepped up to the dock.
He found the Governor as violent as before, and eager to fall on him before he had time to speak. "They tell me. Deemster, that the leader of this rising is a sort of left-hand relative of yours. Surely you can stop the man." "I've tried to, your Excellency, and failed," said Philip. The Governor tossed up his chin. "I'm told the fellow can't even write his own name," he said.
His colleague, the old Deemster, was stricken down by paralysis, and he was required to attend to both their duties. This made it necessary at first that all Deemster's Courts should be held in Castletown, and hence Ramsey saw him rarely. He spent his days in the Court-house of the Castle and his nights at home.
"Then we've made the ould boy see that we mane it," said Pete. "'If you know any one of the ringleaders, Deemster, he said, with a look into my face somebody had been with him there are tell-tales everywhere " "It's the way of the world still," said Pete.
Nobody shall harm you here. Take courage and look around. Is there anybody in court who can speak for you who can tell us how you came to the place where you are now standing?" The woman let fall her hands, raised her head, and looked up at the Deemster, face to face and eye to eye. "Yes," she said, "there is one."
He felt as if he would like to wander away in it down to Port Mooar, and round by the caves, and under the cliffs, where the sea-birds scream. The night had fallen, and he was sitting in his room, when there was a clamour of loud voices in the hall. Some one was calling for the Deemster. It was Nancy Joe. She was newly returned from Sulby.
The Governor put his right hand in the breast, of his white waistcoat he was alone in the dining-room after dinner and darted at Philip a look of anger and command. "Deemster," he said, "if, as you say, you cannot stop this low-bred rascal, there's one thing you can do leave him to himself." "That is to say," said Philip out of a corner of his mouth, "to you."
Her hands clutched at the breast of the cloak, her head dropped into her breast, and a half-smothered moan escaped from her. She knew the voice; it had once been very sweet and dear to her; she had heard it at her ear in tones of love. It was the voice of the Deemster. He was speaking from the judge's seat; the people were hanging on his lips.
Hall Caine ground his teeth and clenched his fist and said: "I will write one more book; I will put into it all the work that is in me, and if the world still remains indifferent and contemptuous, I will never write another." In the meanwhile he had decided to follow Rossetti's advice, to write a Manx novel; and having thought out the plot of "The Deemster," went to the Isle of Man to write it.
