On that night the Dillsborough club met as usual and, as a matter of course, Goarly and the American Senator were the subjects chiefly discussed. Everybody in the room knew, or thought that he knew, that Goarly was a cheating fraudulent knave, and that Lord Rufford was, at any rate, in this case acting properly.
Nickem was now at work trying to learn where Scrobby had purchased the poison, as it was feared that Goarly's evidence alone would not suffice to convict the man. But if the strychnine could be traced and the herrings, then there would be almost a certainty of punishing Scrobby. "And what about Goarly?" asked the Senator. "He would escape of course," said the rector.
He had been a little ashamed of the Senator in regard to the great Goarly conflict and was not desirous of relieving his solitude by the presence of the American. On this occasion he went quite alone and ordered no carriages from the Bush and no increased establishment of servants. He certainly was not happy in his mind.
"Bicycle" and the other mare were at once summered with the greatest care, and it is generally understood that young Hampton means to depend upon Larry very much in regard to the Rufford side of the country. Larry has bought Goarly's two fields, Goarly having altogether vanished from those parts, and is supposed to have Dillsborough Wood altogether in his charge.
"Don't get into a row with a fellow like that," he said to Twentyman. "He's on my land, my lord," said Larry impatiently. "I'm on my own now, and let me see who'll dare to touch me," said Goarly jumping down. "You've put poison down in that wood," said Larry. "No I didn't; but I knows who did. It ain't I as am afeard for my young turkeys" Now it was well known that old Mrs.
Gotobed was able to tell him about Goarly, had advised the Senator to settle with Bearside, taking a due receipt and having some person with him when he did so. The legal friend had thought that a small sum of money would suffice.
"It's all one to me," said Botsey; "only I do think that in a sporting county like this the place ought to be made too hot to hold a blackguard like that. If he comes out at me with his gun I'll ride over him. And I wouldn't mind riding over that American too." "That's just what would suit Goarly's book," said the doctor. "Exactly what Goarly would like," said Harry Stubbings. Then Mr.
Scrobby accidentally in Rufford and they two had together discussed the affairs of the young Lord. They came to an agreement that the young Lord was a tyrant and ought to be put down, and Scrobby showed how it was to be done. Scrobby instigated the action about the pheasants, and undertook to pay the expenses if Goarly would act in the other little matter.
"I did not know it," said the Senator. "As Goarly lives near here I thought you might be Goarly. When I saw Goarly he had a gun, and you have a gun. Can you tell me where Goarly lives?" "Tother side of the wood," said Bean pointing back with his thumb. "He never had a gun like this in his hand in all his born days." "I dare say not, my friend.
When the action against his Lordship was first threatened by Goarly, and when it was understood that Scrobby had backed him with money there was a feeling that Scrobby was doing rather a fine thing. He had not, indeed, used his money openly, as the Senator had afterwards done; but that was not Scrobby's way.
