He was at it all day, trying thus to console himself, but in vain; and when his mother in the evening said some word of her misery in regard to the turkeys he had told her that as far as he was concerned Goarly might poison every fox in the county. Then the poor woman knew that matters were going badly with her son.
Coming from such a country I was shocked to see so many rich men banded together against one who I suppose is not rich." "Very far from it," said the woman. "It's my own land, you know," said Goarly who was proud of his position as a landowner. "No one can't touch me on it, as long as the rates is paid.
Perhaps Larry's happiest moment in the evening was when Runciman himself brought in the soup, for at that moment Lord Rufford put his hand on his shoulder and desired him to sit down, and Runciman both heard and saw it. And at dinner, when the champagne had been twice round, he became more comfortable. The conversation got upon Goarly, and in reference to that matter he was quite at home.
This bit of land is mine; not a doubt of it; but we're poor, sir." "Indeed we is," said the woman. "What with taxes and rates, and them foxes as won't let me rear a head of poultry and them brutes of birds as eats up the corn, I often tells him he'd better sell the bit o' land and just set up for a public." "It belonged to my feyther and grandfeyther," said Goarly.
He also thought, and very often declared his thoughts, that Goarly was justified in shooting not only foxes but hounds also when they came upon his property, and in moments of excitement had gone so far as to say that not even horses should be held sacred. He had, however, lately been driven to admit that Goarly himself was not all that a man should be, and that Mrs.
Abuse of Cheltenham at the present moment was in fact abuse of Mary; and the one sin which Mary could commit was persistence in her rejection of his suit. But he determined to be a man as he walked across the street with his old friend, and said not a word about his love. "They tell me that Goarly has taken his 7s. 6d., Mr. Masters." "Of course he has taken it, Larry. The worse luck for me.
"Me Goarly!" said the man in infinite disgust. "I ain't nothing of the kind, and you knows it" That the man should have been annoyed at being taken for Goarly, that man being Bean the gamekeeper who would willingly have hung Goarly if he could, and would have thought it quite proper that a law should be now passed for hanging him at once, was natural enough.
"That fox we saw was poisoned I suppose," said the Senator carelessly. "Have a care, Dan; have a care!" whispered the wife. "Allow me to assure both of you," said the Senator, "that you need fear nothing from me. I have come quite as a friend." "Thank 'ee, sir," said Goarly again touching his hat.
I wish Goarly had killed all the foxes in the county. Nasty vermin! What good are the likes of them?" Nickem, the senior clerk, was at first made almost as unhappy as Mrs. Masters by the weak decision to which his employer had come, and had in the first flush of his anger resolved to leave the office. He was sure that the case was one which would just have suited him.
He had contemptuously refused the 7s. 6d. an acre offered him, and put his demand at 40s. As to the poisoned fox and the herrings and the strychnine Goarly declared that he didn't care if there were twenty detectives in the place. He stated it to be his opinion that Larry Twentyman had put down the poison.
