It drew nearer and nearer every moment, and approached so rapidly, that, even while they listened, it burst into a deafening confusion of sounds at the street corner. 'This must be stopped quieted, said Mr Haredale, hastily. 'We should have foreseen this, and provided against it. I will go out to them at once.
The raven hopped gravely out, and perching on his shoulder and addressing himself to Mr Haredale, cried as a hint, perhaps, that some temperate refreshment would be acceptable 'Polly put the ket-tle on, we'll all have tea! 'Hear me, Mary, said Mr Haredale kindly, as he motioned her to walk with him towards the house.
'I have acted, cried Mr Haredale, 'with honour and in good faith. I do so now. Do not force me to renew this duel to-night! 'You said my "wretched" son, I think? said Sir John, with a smile. 'Poor fool! The dupe of such a shallow knave trapped into marriage by such an uncle and by such a niece he well deserves your pity.
'Tut, tut, said Mr Haredale, ''twas not very difficult to read a thought so natural. But you are mistaken nevertheless. I have had my share of sorrows more than the common lot, perhaps, but I have borne them ill. I have broken where I should have bent; and have mused and brooded, when my spirit should have mixed with all God's great creation.
'My lord, said Mr Haredale, 'the murdered gentleman was my brother; I succeeded to his inheritance; there were not wanting slanderous tongues at that time, to whisper that the guilt of this most foul and cruel deed was mine mine, who loved him, as he knows, in Heaven, dearly.
"Have you written down the name of Haredale in your little book?" I enquired. "Haredale, Mr. Werricker, sir? V'y no, I ain't. V'y should I, sir? Vot ha' you to tell me about any party, name o' Haredale?" "Only that you will find such a name on the piece of paper you are after." Mr. Shrig's roving eye fixed me for a moment. "Haredale?" he muttered, shaking his head, "Haredale?"
But those within keeping quite close, and the driver tarrying to be asked no questions, they reached the prison without interruption, and, once there, had him out, and safe within its gloomy walls, in a twinkling. With eager eyes and strained attention, Mr Haredale saw him chained, and locked and barred up in his cell.
"I say you shall not, Peregrine!" said she softly. "Mr. Haredale " quoth I. "O Peregrine," she sighed, "suspicion has poisoned your mind against me or you would never stoop to doubt me even here " "Mr. Devereux," said I, "will you pray have the courtesy to desire your charming friend to leave us awhile "
'Such is the blessed end, sir, cried the panting locksmith, to Mr Haredale, 'of the best day's work we ever did. The rogues! it's been hard fighting to get away from 'em. I almost thought, once or twice, they'd have been too much for us with their kindness! They had striven, all the previous day, to rescue Barnaby from his impending fate.
His lady was lately dead, and he was left with one child the Miss Haredale you have been inquiring about who was then scarcely a year old.
