When their schemes came home to Framley, with an order on David's bankers for ten thousand pounds, grey-garbed consternation walked abroad, and in meeting the First Day following no one prayed or spoke for an hour or more. At last, however, friend Fairley rose in his place and said: "The Lord shall deliver the heathen into their hands."
"Fairley is right," said Crosby. "We found that the Abbey was watched to-night. By one of the bridges on the other side of the stream we overheard two men talking. Cursing their vigil, they declared that Rosmore was bent on private revenge that my arrest was of his own scheming. He has already had some of my servants sent to Dorchester, and I must ride there without delay to save them."
"No questions would make me betray you," said the girl. "I know, but your face is a tell-tale one," Barbara answered. "You have the virtue of not being able to lie easily." The girl was honest, and it was no fault of hers that she failed to deliver her message to Martin Fairley.
Two planets in conjunction, that was the marriage, and then across the night sky the flash of a meteor, dead and cold in a moment." "Curse your dreams and the stars!" "Listen!" said Fairley. "Cannot you hear the music of chinking money? Look, master! I see gems like eyes white and red and blue diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. That is all part of the secret, that and the Nun's Room."
Yesterday I met neighbour Fairley, and another little old Elder who keeps his chin in his collar and his eyes on the sky. They did little else but sing your praises. One might have thought that you had invented the world-or Hamley." "Yet they would chafe if I were to appear among them without these."
He told her how Martin Fairley had found him in the wood, and how they had come to Dorchester on the night of her capture. "You had not been a prisoner at all?" she asked. "No, you were brought to the West by a lie; but I shall never forget that you came, and why you came. What did you think you could do?" "I thought I could help you." "How?"
A man at once rose from a corner to attract his attention. It was Martin Fairley. "She evidently expected someone to-night," said Fellowes in a low tone as they sat down together, "but I cannot guess who, nor whether it was man or woman. Of one thing I am certain, whoever she expected, Mistress Lanison was disappointed." "Who was there?" "Sir John Lanison for one, Martin.
With a cry of rage and suspicion, Fairley slipped into the pit and sprang toward the nearest opening. To his frenzied fancy it had been tampered with, his secret discovered, the fruit of his long labors stolen from him that very night.
The man stood in the doorway for a moment with his bow raised, pleased, it seemed, with the sensation he had caused. He had spoken in rather a high-pitched voice, almost as if his words were set to a monotonous chant or had a poetic measure in them. "It is only that mad fool Martin Fairley," said Branksome. "What is this news?" Sir John asked. His anger seemed to have gone, and he spoke gently.
The paternal Fairley, once convinced that his daughter's new companion required no pecuniary or material assistance from his hands, relaxed to the extent of entering into a querulous confidence with him, during which Flip took the opportunity of slipping away.
