Bless you, he's been here ever since noon to-day, and Mr Haredale has been having a long talk with him, and hasn't been gone an hour. 'My father, Willet! 'Yes, sir, he told me so a handsome, slim, upright gentleman, in green-and-gold. In your old room up yonder, sir. No doubt you can go in, sir, said John, walking backwards into the road and looking up at the window.
As he spoke, and drew Mr Haredale back, they had both a glimpse of the street.
Mr Haredale entered first, and led the way through it into the latter chamber, where he seated himself at a writing-table from which he had risen when they had rung the bell. 'Come in, he said, beckoning to old John, who remained bowing at the door. 'Not you, friend, he added hastily to Hugh, who entered also. 'Willet, why do you bring that fellow here?
'Come here, girl, said Mr Haredale, taking her by the hand. 'I want to speak to you. 'If you please, sir, I'm in a hurry, faltered Dolly, 'and you have frightened me by coming so suddenly upon me, sir I would rather go, sir, if you'll be so good as to let me. 'Immediately, said Mr Haredale, who had by this time led her into the room and closed the door. You shall go directly.
What Emma Haredale and Dolly would have done, or how long Miss Miggs, now that she had hoisted her true colours, would have gone on waving them before their astonished senses, it is impossible to tell. Nor is it necessary to speculate on these matters, for a startling interruption occurred at that moment, which took their whole attention by storm.
The garden side of the old house was covered with a mantle of ivy, and, altogether, the surroundings were such as to make ample amends for the rather unprepossessing conditions within. One will not fully appreciate Chigwell and its inn unless he has read Dickens' story. You may still see the panelled room upstairs where Mr. Chester met Geoffry Haredale.
Mr Haredale turned his eyes towards the casement whence the voice proceeded, though there was no need to do so, to recognise the speaker, and Mr Chester waved his hand, and smiled a courteous welcome. 'The door will be opened immediately, he said. 'There is nobody but a very dilapidated female to perform such offices. You will excuse her infirmities?
'Mr Haredale worthy sir good gentleman pray be persuaded. 'Who's that? cried Mr Haredale, stooping down to look. 'Did I hear Daisy's voice? 'You did, sir, cried the little man. 'Do be persuaded, sir. This gentleman says very true. Your life may hang upon it. 'Are you, said Mr Haredale abruptly, 'afraid to come with me? 'I, sir? N-n-no. 'Put that riband in your hat.
A coach was ready at the door, and Dolly found herself safe and whole inside, between her father and mother, with Emma Haredale and her uncle, quite real, sitting opposite. But there was no Joe, no Edward; and they had said nothing. They had only bowed once, and kept at a distance. Dear heart! what a long way it was to the Black Lion!
'Leave me here, said Mr Haredale, 'and in Heaven's name, my good friend, save yourself! Come on! he muttered, as he turned towards Hugh and faced him without any further effort at concealment: 'This roof is high, and if we close, we will die together! 'Madness, said the honest vintner, pulling him back, 'sheer madness. Hear reason, sir. My good sir, hear reason.
