"That would be Elizabeth Twitcher's mother. Elizabeth and Hutchings were engaged, and about ten days ago he jilted her," said Mrs. Truslove. "I suppose that when he was in love with her he bragged about these commissions to her and she told her mother." "Her mother has certainly taken it out of him for jilting her daughter. But what an unsavoury place the castle is!" said Mr. Manley.
Manley remained at the Castle as secretary to Olivia, who was making preparations leisurely to leave it and settle down in a flat in London. Colonel Grey was recovering from his wound with a passable quickness. James Hutchings had come to look very much his old self.
Hutchings allowed himself to hope for a favourable issue. "You've done wonderfully well," was the burden of his conversations with Roberts; "I should feel certain of success against any one but Gulmore. And he seems to be losing his head his perpetual abuse excites sympathy with you. If we win I shall owe it mainly to you."
Trained to severe thinking, but unaccustomed to analyze motives, the full comprehension of Hutchings' attitude and its probable effects upon his happiness only came to him gradually, but it came at length so completely that he could remember the very words of the foregoing conversation, and recall the tones of the voices.
At the same time, Hutchings had just had an interview, which had gone better probably than he had expected, with an uncommonly pretty girl. Mr. Carrington arrived soon after breakfast next morning, and Mr. Flexen at once discussed the matter of the inquest with him and the Coroner.
He could rebuild the puzzle; his understanding of it, therefore, must be the true one. The irrationality of the defence was a final proof that the lawyer had played him false. "Hutchings sold himself most likely for place. He didn't fear a quarrel with me that was evident; perhaps he wishes to get rid of me evident, too.
Well, land's hard to get anywhere there, and I've the best lots in the town. It's like this, Hutchin's: Would you rather come in with me and make a joint tender, or run for Mayor and be beaten?" Mr. Hutchings started. Ten years before the proposal would have won him.
Gul-more had caught a gleam in the other's eye as he spoke of a good Mayor and his qualifications. "He bites, I guess," was his inference, and accordingly he put the question at once. Mr. Hutchings, brought to himself by the sudden interrogation, hesitated, and decided to temporize. He could always refuse to join forces, and Gulmore might "give himself away."
Robert C. Hutchings, afterwards Surrogate, conducted the prosecution. Mr.
Hutchings interrupted, "I said that this railway extension gives us a chance. All the workmen are Irishmen, Democrats to a man, who'll vote and vote straight, and that has been our weak point. You can't get one-half the better classes to go to the polls. The negroes all vote, too, and vote Republican that has been Gulmore's strength. Now I've got the Irishmen against his negroes I may win.
