Hutchings, one of my missionary brethren, and several little boys and girls who have written to me, have said that they would like to be missionaries. One writes, "I should like to go and be a missionary, and instruct the poor heathen children to love God." A second says, "I have been selling matches that I made. I got five dollars just as many dollars as I am years old.
"Never mind the spade!" said Will, firmly, as Hutchings hesitated. "We'll keep it and try and find some use for it!" The fellow would have liked to contest the point, but he remembered the feeling of Will's grip. With an oath he turned on his heel and made for the uplands. Then the boys went back to the dike, possessed themselves of the spade, and repaired the slight damage that had been done.
Hutchings; he wanted to be back again in the East as a victor; he longed for the cultivated amenities and the social life of Washington. He could not help exclaiming: "Ah! if it hadn't been for you I'd have been in Congress long ago." "As a Democrat? Not from this State, I guess." "What does it matter? Democrat or Republican, the difference now is only in the name." "The price is high, Hutchin's.
In all fairness to James Hutchings, it must be said that he would not have acted with this decision of his own accord. Elizabeth had bidden him to it, urging that a bold front was half the battle. However grave her own doubts of his innocence might be, she was resolved that such doubts should, if possible, be banished from the minds of other people.
The bold, incisive criticism had a singular fascination for his hearers, who were too young to remark in it the crudeness that usually attaches to originality. Miss Hutchings was the first of the senior students to yield herself to the new influence.
But there was always the chance that Hutchings was the unusual threatener; and, if he were, he had assuredly been in circumstances most favourable to the carrying out of his threats. Accordingly he learnt from Inspector Perkins the way to the gamekeeper's cottage in the West Wood, where Hutchings was staying with his father, and drove the car to it himself.
James Hutchings had come out of the library window at about half-past eleven, also, if William Roper might be believed, furious. Lady Loudwater had come through the library window at a quarter to twelve, and gone back through it at five minutes to twelve. Each of the last three had passed within fifteen feet of Lord Loudwater, dead or alive, both on entering and on coming out of the Castle.
The Democratic organ did not scruple to ascribe the defeat to the fact that Lawyer Hutchings had sold his party. The simulated indignation of the journalist found expression in phrases which caricatured the simplicity of sincere condemnation. "Never did shameless corruption...." Roberts could not read the stuff.
May Hutchings was more than good-looking, were it only by reason of a complexion such as is seldom given even to blondes. The inside of a sea-shell has the same lustre and delicacy, but it does not pale and flush as did May's cheeks in quick response to her emotions.
Flexen could quite conceive that he might presently be regarding perjury as a duty; he had had experience of the queer way in which the mind of the sentimentalist works. It appeared to him that everything depended on his finding the mysterious woman. That afternoon Elizabeth Twitcher determined to go to see James Hutchings. She had not seen him since their interview on the night of the murder.
