Completely clinching this link in the evidence against the citizen deputies was the testimony of Miss Lillian Goldthorpe and her mother, Hannah Goldthorpe. Miss Goldthorpe, waitress in the Commercial Club dining room, picked up some rifle shells that had fallen from the rifles stacked in the office, and also from the pocket of one of the hunting coats lying on the floor.
Perhaps he was at the back of the houses? On either side ran a narrow passage, which parted the spot of desolation from inhabited dwellings. Exploring one of these, Goldthorpe found that there lay in the rear a tract of gardens. Each of the three lifeless houses had its garden of about twenty yards long.
Even when I have to go into lodgings, when my houses become the property of the ground-landlord to my mind, Mr. Goldthorpe, a very great injustice, but I don't set myself up against the law of the land I shall just be able to live. And that's no small blessing, sir, as I think you'll agree. 'Rather! It's the height of human felicity, Mr. Spicer. I envy you vastly.
She hadn't the slightest desire for revenge, but she felt she had a slightly freer hand. She didn't see why she should, for instance, deprive herself of the pleasure of seeing Aylmer; she had not told him anything about it. That day at the club, Bruce in his depression had a chat with Goldthorpe, his golfing companion and sometime confidant.
The tradition of Grub Street was for him a living fact. He thought of all authors as struggling with poverty, and continued to cite eighteenth-century examples by way of encouraging Goldthorpe and animating his zeal. Whilst the young man was at work Mr. Spicer moved about the house with soundless footsteps.
Spicer always spoke of his tenant's novel as 'the work' which on his lips had a very large and respectful sound. 'About a fortnight more, answered Goldthorpe with grave intensity. The heat continued.
But Goldthorpe gave only a glance at this still life; his interest was engrossed by a human figure, seated on a campstool near the back wall of the house, and holding a concertina, whence, at this moment, in slow, melancholy strain, 'Home, Sweet Home' began to wheeze forth.
He knew that Miss Townsend was thirty-two, but suspected Goldthorpe of admiring flappers, and so, with a subconscious desire to impress him, rearranged the lady's age. 'About twenty if that. Rather long, thin hands the hands of a lady. Well, it's all over now. 'That's all right, said Goldthorpe. He seemed to have had enough of this retrospective inventory.
For two or three days a violent gale had been blowing, with much damage throughout the country; on his journey Goldthorpe saw many great trees lying prostrate, beaten, as though scornfully, by the cold rain which now descended in torrents. Arrived in town, he went to the house where he had lodged in the time of comparative prosperity, and there was lucky enough to find his old rooms vacant.
If I don't, you'll have the pleasant job of taking me to a hospital. Mr. Spicer insisted on lending him the small sum he needed. An hour or two later they were at St. Pancras Station, and before sunset Goldthorpe had found harbourage under his mother's roof. There he lay ill for more than a month, and convalescent for as long again.
