But, before he could reach the door, and before Edward could catch up his hat and follow him, they were again arrested by a loud shriek from above-stairs: and the locksmith's wife, bursting in, and fairly running into Mr Haredale's arms, cried out: 'She knows it all, dear sir! she knows it all!
John Grueby added no entreaties, but he adopted a different kind of persuasion, by putting his arm through one of Mr Haredale's, while his master took the other, and leading him away with all speed.
The next moment, he stepped forward, and laid one hand on Mr Haredale's arm, while with the other he endeavoured to appease the crowd. 'My dear friend, my good Haredale, you are blinded with passion it's very natural, extremely natural but you don't know friends from foes. 'I know them all, sir, I can distinguish well he retorted, almost mad with rage. 'Sir John, Lord George do you hear me?
This was equal to John's most sanguine expectations; but he would have preferred Mr Haredale's looking at him when he spoke, as if he really did thank him, to his walking up and down, speaking by fits and starts, often stopping with his eyes fixed on the ground, moving hurriedly on again, like one distracted, and seeming almost unconscious of what he said or did.
'Lift this one out, said Hugh to the man who opened the door, as he took Miss Haredale's hand, and felt how heavily it fell. 'She's fainted. 'So much the better, growled Dennis it was that amiable gentleman. 'She's quiet. I always like 'em to faint, unless they're very tender and composed. 'Can you take her by yourself? asked Hugh. 'I don't know till I try.
'If any man believes presumes to think that I, in word or deed, or in the wildest dream, ever entertained remotely the idea of Emma Haredale's favouring the suit of any one who was akin to you in any way I care not what he lies. He lies, and does me grievous wrong, in the mere thought.
'Miss Haredale's presence, returned the young man, 'and your relationship to her, give you a licence which, if you are a brave man, you will not abuse. You have compelled me to this course, and the fault is yours not mine.
I leave her with a confidence in her pure faith, which you will never weaken, and with no concern but that I do not leave her in some gentler care. With that, he pressed her cold hand to his lips, and once more encountering and returning Mr Haredale's steady look, withdrew.
The negligence and disorder of the whole man, with something fierce and sullen in his features, gave him a picturesque appearance, that attracted the regards even of the Maypole customers who knew him well, and caused Long Parkes to say that Hugh looked more like a poaching rascal to-night than ever he had seen him yet. 'He's waiting here, I suppose, said Solomon, 'to take Mr Haredale's horse.
'Let him go on, Sir John, said Gashford, fumbling with his gloves. 'Let him go on. I can make allowances, Sir John. I am honoured with your good opinion, and I can dispense with Mr Haredale's. Mr Haredale is a sufferer from the penal laws, and I can't expect his favour.
