"Wonderful effort for me!" said Feltram with the same sneer. "Rather surprising for a man so nearly drowned," answered Sir Bale Mardykes. "A dip: you don't like the lake, sir; but I do. And so it is: as Antaeus touched the earth, so I the water, and rise refreshed." "I think you'd better get in and refresh there. I meant to tell you that all the unpleasantness about that bank-note is over."
At about twelve o'clock my uncle sent for us, and, to our great delight, announced his consent, and wished us a very happy excursion. So Milly and I drove through the gabled high street of Feltram next day. We saw my gracious cousin smoking with a man like a groom, at the door of the 'Plume of Feathers. I drew myself back as we passed, and Milly popped her head out of the window.
"Ay, that he is," said Turnbull slowly, as he eyed the stranger again carefully. "I don't know who you can be, sir, unless you are the boy William Feltram. La! he was seven or eight years younger than Philip. But, lawk! Well By Jen, and be you Willie Feltram? But no, you can't!" "Ay, Mr.
Sir Bale's qualms were symptomatic of something a little less sublime and more selfish than conscience. He was not sorry that Philip Feltram was out of the way. His lips might begin to babble inconveniently at any time, and why should not his mouth be stopped? and what stopper so effectual as that plug of clay which fate had introduced?
Sir Bale is Frightened To Feltram she had conceived, at first sight, a horror. It was not a mere antipathy; fear mingled largely in it.
Rymer, amazed and awestruck, made a movement in his bed; and the figure looked round, with large eyes that in the moonlight looked like melting snow, and stretching its long arms up the chimney, they and the figure itself seemed to blend with the smoke, and so pass up and away. Sir Bale, I have said, did not like Feltram.
If not in the house, send Harry to the stables; if not there, let him be followed, instantly. Brice is an active fellow, and will know where to find him. If he is in Feltram, or at a distance, let Brice take a horse, and Master Dudley can ride it back. He must be here without the loss of one moment.
Feltram was full in the moonlight now, standing erect, and smiling cynically on the Baronet. There was that in the bearing and countenance of Feltram that disconcerted him more than the surprise of the sudden meeting. He had determined to meet Feltram in a friendly way, whenever that not very comfortable interview became inevitable.
"You must not cry, Janet; I have given you no excuse for tears. I only wished an answer to a very harmless question; and I am sure you would tell me, if by any chance you have lately seen Philip Feltram; he is capable of arranging all that. No one knows him as I do. There, you must not cry any more; but tell me truly, has he turned up? is he at Faxwell?"
It was only a coarser and directer version of a suspicion, that in a more credulous generation penetrated a level of society quite exempt from such follies in our day. One evening at dusk, Sir Bale, sitting after his dinner in his window, saw the tall figure of Feltram, like a dark streak, standing movelessly by the lake. An unpleasant feeling moved him, and then an impatience.
