It was damning him as a scoundrel and a sneak in the presence of these people! "Cannot the last speaker explain how his name happens to be here and what he knows about that gold?" These words fell like the knell of doom upon Farrington's ears. What was he to do? But something must be done. "What d'ye mean?" he gasped. "What d'ye want me to explain?" "About this writing."
I jumped up, throwing an old coat over me, and ran up stairs, in the direction of Mrs. Farrington's room, I encountered Boss in the hall; and, as it was dark and the smoke stifling, I could hardly make any headway. At this moment Mrs. Farrington threw her door open, and screamed for "Cousin Eddie," meaning McGee. He hurriedly called to me to get a pitcher of water quick.
I must have you to help me navigate things to the table. I have agreed to act as assistant cook and head waitress, and I want you as second butler." And she unfolded the details of her plan. Late one afternoon, a week afterwards, a trim maid in cap and apron was peering out from between the curtains of Mrs. Farrington's front window.
The storekeeper had been hard at work for some time with no visible success, for the Farrington family with their high-flown ideas were much disliked by the quiet, humble-minded folk of Glendow. The idea, therefore, of him being Ifteir representative was at first abhorrent to most of the people. But this new ruse of Farrington's was proving most successful.
Presently the sound of heavy blows was heard in the store-room adjoining the shop. Then a rush of feet ensued, and Farrington was suddenly caught and hurried forward. The light of a small lamp shed its feeble beams over the place, making it look more ghostly than ever. The intentions of his captors flashed into Farrington's mind.
The curate, who was standing beside the table, nodded his red head towards the victor and said with stupid familiarity: "Ah! that's the knack!" "What the hell do you know about it?" said Farrington fiercely, turning on the man. "What do you put in your gab for?" "Sh, sh!" said O'Halloran, observing the violent expression of Farrington's face. "Pony up, boys.
Side by side they walked slowly along the road, and Stephen told the whole story of Tony's return, the hidden box, the political meeting, the discovery of the gold in the safe, and Farrington's ignominious punishment. They had reached the house by the time he had finished, and stood for a moment on the doorstep before entering.
It affects your entire career as I may say one of our most ingenious young writers for the screen." Ruth stared at him in amazement. Just because she had written two moving picture scenarios she was quite sure that she was neither famous nor a genius. Mr. Amasa Farrington's enthusiasm was more amazing than his appearance. "I am sure I do not understand you," Ruth confessed.
"Smite 'em down, Parson, an' pray the Lord to turn His hottest thunderbolt upon Si Farrington's head!" "Hush, hush, woman," Mr. Westmore remonstrated. "Don't talk that way. 'Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. I will repay." By this time the refractory cow had been brought to a state of partial subjection, and stood blinking at her captors as if uncertain what course to pursue.
"There's something you evidently have not considered which might change matters a little. I came here this morning trusting to get your consent to leave my father alone without any unnecessary trouble. I appealed to your manhood, but in vain. Now, there is only one course open to me, which I will be obliged to take." "Hey, what's this?" and Farrington's brow knitted in perplexity.
