He is not in his right senses, he is not, indeed! 'It is a bad sign of the wickedness of these times, said Lord George, evading her touch, and colouring deeply, 'that those who cling to the truth and support the right cause, are set down as mad. Have you the heart to say this of your own son, unnatural mother! 'I am astonished at you! said Gashford, with a kind of meek severity.
For shame! The infatuated nobleman had glanced more than once at Sir John Chester, as if to inquire whether there was any truth in these statements concerning Gashford, and Sir John had as often plainly answered by a shrug or look, 'Oh dear me! no. He now said, in the same loud key, and in the same strange manner as before: 'I have nothing to say, sir, in reply, and no desire to hear anything more.
"What direction d'ye think it's likely your precious chum has taken?" asked Gashford, turning abruptly to Fred Westly when the different parties were about to start. "It is impossible for me to tell." "I know that," retorted Gashford, with a scowl and something of a sneer, "but it ain't impossible for you to guess. However, it will do as well if you tell me which party you intend to join."
"They should be hereabouts, Muster Gashford," he said, in a low voice, "so git yer troops ready for action." "What do ye mean?" growled Gashford. To this Flinders made no reply, but turning to Westly and Brixton, who stood close at his side, whispered them to meet him at the stable before the fight was quite over. He then put his hand to his mouth and uttered three hoots like an owl.
'Tut tut do you suppose I don't know where you have been? retorted Gashford, rubbing his hands, and beating the back of one on the palm of the other, and looking at him with a cunning eye. 'How dull you think me! Shall I say his name? 'No, said Hugh, with a hasty glance towards Dennis.
"Come, shut up, Flinders," interrupted Gashford, swallowing his wrath. Who'll go with me?" "I'll go," said Crossby, stepping forward at once. "I've a grudge agin the puppy, and I'll help to make him swing if I can."
At the head of that division which had Westminster Bridge for its approach to the scene of action, Lord George Gordon took his post; with Gashford at his right hand, and sundry ruffians, of most unpromising appearance, forming a kind of staff about him.
Barnaby shook his head and looked vacantly from one to the other. 'You might have known it, friend, said Gashford, 'it was perfectly understood. How came you to be so ill informed? 'He cannot tell you, sir, the widow interposed. 'It's of no use to ask him. We are but this morning come from a long distance in the country, and know nothing of these matters.
Tolly sent his special love to the Rose of Oregon, and said that she would be glad to hear that the old place in the Sawback range had become a little colony, and that a missionary had settled in it, and Gashford had held by his promise to her not only giving up drink and gambling entirely, but had set up a temperance coffee-house and a store, both of which were in the full blast of prosperity.
With these and other expressions of confidence of the like flattering kind, Mr Dennis gave him a hearty slap on the back, which Hugh was not slow to return. 'No Popery, brother! cried the hangman. 'No Property, brother! responded Hugh. 'Popery, Popery, said the secretary with his usual mildness. 'It's all the same! cried Dennis. 'It's all right. Down with him, Muster Gashford.
