It was a hard struggle, for with those two fierce-looking troopers watching him along the barrels of their pieces, Fred's inclination was still to turn and gallop away as fast as his horse would go. But at that moment he raised his eyes, and could see that Scarlett was looking down at him, as if to watch the effect of Sir Godfrey's words.
"Hurrah for the Church, Charley! Let us have the bishop; and not to disparage Fred's taste, we'll be eating the anchovy while the liquor's concocting." "Well, Maurice, and now for the news. How are matters at Torres Vedras? Anything like movement in that quarter?" "Nothing very remarkable.
There did not seem much risk of a fall after Fred's securing of the rope, for the simple reason that he was not likely to tie it. Everywhere, as they searched, they found smooth rock without a projection, or shivering shaley slate, which crumbled down at a touch, and, at last, Fred gave up with a sigh of despair. "It's of no use," he said. "One of us must go down and try the mouth of the cave.
If the boys win that game from Marshall I'm sure Fred's going to have a lot to do with it!" Joel chuckled at hearing one girl say that, for he recognized the voice of pretty little Mollie Skinner, on whom it was said the Fred mentioned was rather sweet, since he always accompanied her to choir meeting, and when they had a dance out in the country, she invariably went with Fred.
I cannot say that he was never again misled by his hopefulness: the yield of crops or the profits of a cattle sale usually fell below his estimate; and he was always prone to believe that he could make money by the purchase of a horse which turned out badly though this, Mary observed, was of course the fault of the horse, not of Fred's judgment.
I" here Fred made a tremendous attempt to rally himself "I want you to swear off, Sam." The astonishment of Captain Crayme was marked enough to be alarming at first; then the ludicrous feature of Fred's request struck him so forcibly that he burst into a laugh before whose greatness Fred trembled and shrank.
Just what did happen?" Fred recited the events briefly. When he had finished, the attorney said: "Everything depends on this man Brauer. I'll have to get in touch with him to-day. Hilmer told me to use my own judgment about bail... I guess it's all right." A hot flush overspread Fred's face, but it died quickly. He could stand any insult now.
"Get some water," the elder commanded when she appeared in the doorway. "Fred's sick." Madelene dropped the armful of clothes she held and fled to obey. When she came back, the young wife tenderly ministered to the dying man. Never before had he seemed so dear! "I think we'd better call a doctor," said Ebenezer, and he went out.
"I am the best judge of that," answered the lieutenant, turning red in the face. "O, you are?" Fred laughed. Smith, who had acted in a nervous manner ever since the conversation commenced, approached and whispered in Fred's ear, "Speak civilly to him, or he may take you to Melbourne."
"Not if they won't have me, mother," said Fred. The illness had made him childish, and tears came as he spoke. "Oh, take a bit of jelly, my dear," said Mrs. Vincy, secretly incredulous of any such refusal. She never left Fred's side when her husband was not in the house, and thus Rosamond was in the unusual position of being much alone.
