"That's the sort of rude behaviour other people have to suffer for." "Now, my man," said Mr. Dunsmore sharply, "this is private, you've no business here." "Sorry, sir; beg pardon, I'm sure," said Dunn, touching his hat, and as he did so he said in a sharp, penetrating whisper: "Look out trouble's brewing don't know what, but look out, all the time."
And there's another thing I want to say. If you are thinking of playing any tricks on me don't do it, unless you are ready to take big risks. There's only one man alive who ever made a fool of me, and his name is Rupert Dunsmore, and I don't think he's today what insurance companies call a good risk. Not by any manner of means." He paused to laugh harshly. "Let's get to business," he said.
"Yes," answered Dunn, a little surprised, and giving her a quick and searching look from his bright, keen eyes. "I saw them. Why " "I think I've seen the one they said was Mr. Walter Dunsmore before, and I can't think where," she answered, puckering her brows. "I can't think do you know anything about him?" "I know he is Mr.
"Well, I daresay it's wise to take every precaution," observed Walter. "But I can't imagine either him or any one else getting near you without your knowledge." Robert Dunn, or rather, Rupert Dunsmore, as was his name by right of birth laughed again to himself, very softly in the darkness. "Perhaps not," he said. "But I take no chances I can avoid with Deede Dawson. Come along."
And then Lord Chobham, his health affected by the crimes and treachery of a kinsman whom he had known and trusted as he had known and trusted Walter, was attacked by acute bronchitis which affected his heart and carried him off within the week. The title and estates passed, therefore, to General Dunsmore, and Rupert became the Honourable Rupert Dunsmore and the direct heir.
Walter would arrange it all as neatly as he had been accustomed to arrange the Dunsmore business affairs placed in his hands for settlement. A forged letter or two, Dunn's own revolver used to shoot the old man with and then placed in Dunn's dead hand when his own turn had come, convincing detail like that would be easy to arrange.
"She might be with you perhaps, but she wouldn't drive. Night driving is always dangerous, I think, don't you?" "There's things more dangerous," Dunn remarked. "Oh, quite true," answered Deede Dawson. "Well, did you enjoy your visit to Wreste Abbey?" "No," answered Dunn roughly. "I didn't see Rupert Dunsmore, and it wouldn't have been any good if I had with all those people about."
But Dunsmore was not to be the victor that Thanksgiving Day. It was ordained that, just as hope had almost expired, a slender, fleet-footed young junior of the High School team should seize the ball and fly like the wind across the line. Score 10 to 1 Oakdale's score! Immediately a terrific hubbub began. Surely the place had gone mad, Anne thought.
The boy is always rushing off somewhere or another when he ought to be getting to know the estate and the tenants." Walter Dunsmore laughed. "I think he knows them both fairly well already," he said. "Not a tenant on the place but swears by Rupert. He's a fine fellow, uncle."
Custer from the settlement is now in yonder room. Her husband is at present building a trestle on the Dunsmore track. I come up here for only an hour every day." Nasmyth afterwards discovered that this implied a journey of three or four miles either way over a very indifferent trail, but at the moment he was thinking chiefly of Miss Waynefleet, who had given him shelter.
