"I can swear; and if I couldn't, do you think I would have bet so high, as in the event of losing I should be ruined?" "I'm content," said Campbell. "Ho, there, Cameron! I will back Dewhurst on the maternity for ten." "That will just pay Nightingale," replied Cameron. "I accept. Now for the grand denouement. Let us accost the arbitress of our fortunes." "Not yet," said Hamilton.
He was the man of action and of thought, the bold adventurer who held the lives of his friends in the hollow of his hand. The four men hastily obeyed. Lord Anthony Dewhurst one of the most elegant dandies of London society had brought forth from a dank cupboard a bundle of clothes, mere rags, filthy but useful.
Thus pondering, with slow step, affectedly humble demeanour, and surprisingly-lengthened visage, he approached the pair who were waiting for him, and regarding him with severe looks. Thinking it the best plan to open the fire himself, Nicholas saluted them, and said "Give you good-day, Sir Ralph, and you too, worthy Master Dewhurst.
The letter in question informed Old Mat that Joses had come straight from Portland to Dewhurst; that Chukkers had come down from London by the eleven-twenty-seven; that Ikey had been expected but had not turned up, and that the six-forty-two had taken Joses on to Cuckmere. After the trial gallop, and the meeting with the fat man on the hill, Old Mat showed the letter to Silver.
He told me a lie. The woman speaks true, and I shall be revenged." "I have nothing to do with Dewhurst," answered Cameron. "You are my debtor; and if I don't get the money to-night you know my lodgings the club will decide upon it to-morrow."
Along the line of the South Downs to be against Dewhurst was to be in with Putnam's, and the telegraph line between Arunvale and Cuckmere could tell many interesting secrets of the relations between Mat Woodburn and the station-clerk.
It was, perhaps, fortunate for Dewhurst that the little sermon, contrary to the practice of the courts, came after, in place of preceding the condemnation, for he had been rendered all but insensible by the formidable monosyllable. He saw there was some mystery overhanging his present position.
"Huh!" said William, transferring his scowl to Miss Dewhurst. Evangeline beamed. She wanted William's admiration. William was the only boy in the form who was not her slave. She smiled at William sweetly. "I'm not good at holdin' trains," said William. "I don't like holdin' trains. I've never bin taught 'bout holdin' trains. I might do it wrong on the day an' spoil it all.
Campbell has not reported to me the issue of his commission; and if it shall turn out that the woman retracts, I will reclaim the money." "And get it too," said the other, laughing sneeringly, as he counted the notes. "But here comes Campbell." "Campbell," cried Cameron, as his debtor entered, "I want my £10 to pay Nightingale." "Ask Dewhurst," said Campbell. "I have been cheated by him.
I shan't like to spoil it all," he added virtuously. "Oh, we'll have heaps of practices," said Miss Dewhurst brightly. As he was going Bettine pressed a small apple into his hand. "A present for you," she murmured. "I saved it from my dinner." He was touched. "I'll give you somethin' to-morrow," he said, adding hastily, "if I can find anythin'."
