Do you think the burglars are responsible?" "I want time to think." "We'll just call in and see Dr. Heathcote," said Quarles. The doctor was a young man rather overburdened with his own importance. He was inclined to think that Crosland had done Grange Park a service by shooting one of the burglar gang. "I only hope the authorities won't get sentimental and make it needlessly unpleasant for him."
I do think me, Madam Heathcote, that, after all, there is real manhood in the brawler Dudley! Truly, the youth hath done marvels in the way of exposure and resistance. Twenty times this night have I expected to see him slain."
There was never a berth for the lackey, who was relegated permanently to the smoking-car. Mr. Heathcote himself sometimes had to fight, bribe, and intrigue for one and often he failed to get breakfast or dinner through false information or the carelessness of somebody.
Heathcote was a harsh and sullen man; and though his temper was anything but tractable, there was so much to please, almost to dazzle him, in the event, that he accepted the terms which Dwyer imposed upon him without any further token of disapprobation than a shake of the head, and a gruff wish that 'it might prove all for the best.
Mr. Heathcote was with him, and, after one careless glance, had strolled up and down, absorbed in his own thoughts, which were not of war or death. He only half listened to his uncle's praise of the great soldier, and presently said,
Was a wonderful human love like this to come to an abrupt end to be left behind with the body's frail shell? Surely not. Surely, although human, it held too much of the divine to perish with the earthly clay; and yet, if the love of Francis Heathcote passed with his spirit, how would he meet Phil? or, rather, how would she meet him? Would she be changed while he remained unaltered?
"Here, what's this?" called a voice, and a heavy hand seized Dick by the collar behind, pulling him back. It was Heathcote Drayne, Phin's father, a powerful man, who now held Prescott. Phin was quickly upon his feet and start forward. From across the street sounded a warning cry, followed by footsteps. "Now, I've got you!" cried Phin exultantly. He struck, and landed, on Dick's cheek.
Notwithstanding the entire simplicity which marked the opinions and usages of the colonists at that period, and the great equality of condition which even to this hour distinguishes the particular community of which we write, choice and inclination drew some natural distinctions in the ordinary intercourse of the inmates of the Heathcote family.
John Talbot had arrived in England in 1706 to plead in person for an American bishop, and Colonel Heathcote in 1707 wrote with respect to the Episcopalians in Connecticut that it would be absolutely necessary to procure an order from the Queen freeing the Church of England people from the established rates, or they would always be so poor as to be dependent upon the Society for Propagating the Gospel.
Promise me, Harry, not to think that I don't agree with you in every thing." Old Brownbie, as he was usually called, was a squatter also, but a squatter of a class very different from that to which Heathcote belonged. He had begun his life in the colonies a little under a cloud, having been sent out from home after the perpetration of some peccadillo of which the law had disapproved.
