To be sure, he seemed a large man, while Guzzy was very small, but Guzzy believed his own thin legs to be faithful in an emergency. The unknown man knocked softly at the front-door, then he seemed to tap at several of the windows.
But while most Bowertonians despaired of learning much more about the Wyetts, and especially about Helen's lover, there was one who had resolved not only to know the favored man, but to do him some frightful injury, and that was little Guzzy.
Bowerton was simply confounded. What could he want? The Governor had very few appointments at his disposal, and none of them were fit for Guzzy, except those for which Guzzy was not fit. Even the local politicians became excited, and both sides consulted Guzzy.
Perhaps she would burst into tears in the court-room, and thank him effusively and publicly! Guzzy's soul swelled at the thought, and he rapidly composed a reply appropriate to such an occasion. Suddenly Guzzy heard footsteps approaching, and voices in earnest altercation. Guzzy hastened into the squire's office, and struck an attitude befitting the importance of a principal witness.
"I'll tell you what to do," said little Guzzy, when the constable hurriedly whispered: "Wait until I get out of hearing." The excitement which possessed Bowerton the next morning, when the events of the previous night were made public, was beyond the descriptive powers of the best linguists in the village. Helen Wyett a burglar's wife!
But, if ever you want a friend, tell Helen, she will know where I am, and I will serve you, no matter what the risk and pain." "Thank you," said Guzzy; "but the only favor I'll ever ask of you might as well be named now, and you ought to be able to do it without risk or pain either. It's only this; be an honest man, for Helen's sake." Beigh dropped his head.
Guzzy eyed him resentfully, and glared at the officers with considerable disfavor. Guzzy was a law-abiding man, but to have an expected triumph belittled and postponed because of foreign interference was enough to blind almost any man's judicial eyesight.
It might be an elopement it might be that they were going as missionaries; but no one expressed a positive opinion, and every one expressed a perfect willingness to believe anything that was supported by even a shadow of proof. Their mute agony was suddenly ended, for within forty-eight hours Guzzy and his traveling companion returned.
