Ah, but I've got something before me now! What say you to a patent fire-escape that any man can carry round his waist? Upon my soul, I've got it! I'm going to London about it as soon as I can get my fare; and that I shall have to-morrow, please God. 'What brings you to Hebsworth?
'But do you expect Miss Hood to come soon? Dagworthy asked, playing his part very well, in spite of a nervousness which possessed him. 'No doubt she's in the garden already. I've given her a key, so that if she gets there first But what do you want me to do? 'Why, I was going to ask you to walk to the station and meet the ten thirty-five train from Hebsworth.
I'm expecting a telegram from Legge Brothers; if it doesn't come before twelve o'clock, you or Hood must go to Hebsworth. It had better be Hood; you finish what you're at. If there's no telegram, he must take the twelve-thirteen, and give this note here to Mr. Andrew Legge; there'll be an answer. Mind you see to this. At the moment when Dagworthy's tread sounded on the stairs, Mr.
He fully realised, for the first time, what he had done. At the ring of the fifth sovereign Mrs. Hood turned her head. 'What's that? she asked snappishly. He went on counting till the nine were displayed. 'What is it? she repeated. 'Why do you fidget me so? 'You'd never guess, Hood answered, laughing hoarsely. 'I had to go to Hebsworth to-day, and who ever do you think I met there?
'The truth is this, he went on more nervously; 'we've been in a little difficulty, your mother and I, that we didn't see any good in troubling you about. In fact, there's a raising of rent, and one or two other little things. When I was in Hebsworth yesterday I had an opportunity of borrowing ten pounds, and I thought it better to do so.
Hood was indisposed to leave the envelope to be given by other hands; he might as well have the advantage of such pleasure as the discovery would no doubt excite. So he put it safely in his pocket-book, and hastened to catch the train, taking with him the paper of sandwiches which represented his dinner. These he would eat on the way to Hebsworth.
His return home was a signal for the closing of all doors between his room and the remote nursery. Once, when he heard crying he had summoned Mrs. Jenkins. 'If you can't stop that noise, he said, 'or keep it out of my hearing, I'll send the child to be taken care of in Hebsworth, or somewhere else further off, and then I'll shut up the house and send you all about your business.
Emily tortured him by observing that he had no appetite. He excused himself by telling of his dinner in Hebsworth, and, as soon as possible, left the table. He went upstairs and hoped to find solitude for a time in the garret. Emily joined him, however, before long. At her entrance he caught up the first bottle his hand fell upon, and seemed to be examining it.
Every word I've said to you's as true as the light of heaven, And my only chance is to get to London. I've made an invention, and I feel sure I know a man who will buy it of me. It took my last farthing to get here from Hebsworth. You don't think hardly of me? I don't drink, on my word I don't; it's sheer hard luck. Ah, if I had a home like this! It 'ud be like living in the garden of Eden.
Still, his eye was fixed steadily on Dagworthy's face; it was life at stake. 'I have not had them all. 'I don't remember which it was, replied the other, 'and it doesn't much matter, since I happen to know the note. I dare say you remember buying a new hat in Hebsworth last Friday?
