Through a great tumult of shouting the two horses dashed past the winning-post. It seemed a dead heat; but, immediately after, the news spread that Hyde's horse was the winner. The Waler had gained his victory by a neck. Hyde was leading his horse round to the Rajah's stand. His jockey, looking white and exhausted, sat so loosely in the saddle that he seemed to sway with the animal's movements.
"We'll make the most of all that," said Felpham. "But I gathered, from what you said just now to Drillford, that you know more about this case than you've let out. If it's in Hyde's favour " "I can't tell you what I know," answered Viner. "I do know some strange things, which will all come out in good time. If we bring the murder home to the right man, Hyde of course will be cleared.
They were rather surprised that he should have the cruelty himself to announce such a melancholy piece of news: they found his Royal Highness at the appointed hour in Miss Hyde's chamber: a few tears trickled down her cheeks, which she endeavoured to restrain. The chancellor, leaning against the wall, appeared to them to be puffed up with some thing, which they did not doubt was rage and despair.
In Hyde's presence she had been suffused with a bewildering, profound emotion, which had fallen on her as the gentle showers fall, to make the flowers of spring. A shy happiness, a trembling delightful feeling never known before, filled her heart. This handsome youth, whom she had only seen twice, and in the most formal manner, affected her as no other mortal had ever done.
"Well, comrade," replied Hyde, laughing a little uneasily, "you ought to know me again." "Lose no time, friend, in getting what you want from the Mairie. Come: I will go with you. Come: you may be prevented if you delay." These words aroused Hyde's suspicions. Had Cyprienne warned the French police to be on the look-out for him? "But, Anatole, explain.
It was not only the heat of the day that oppressed him. "Poor, wretched Bernard! But I dare say I should be equally mulish if I were in his shoes. By the by, was he really in pain just now?" "Really in pain?" Laura echoed. "Why why should you say that?" She no longer doubted Lawrence Hyde's subtlety. "'He's constantly in pain and he scarcely ever complains." "Oh?
"I give you fair warning, our suspicions are aroused, and I must and shall see you," he resumed; "if not by fair means, then by foul if not of your consent, then by brute force!" "Utterson," said the voice, "for God's sake, have mercy!" "Ah, that's not Jekyll's voice it's Hyde's!" cried Utterson. "Down with the door, Poole!"
"Can you describe the man who came out of the passage as you entered it?" he asked. "Be accurate, now!" Hyde's face brightened a little, and his eyes became more intelligent. "Yes!" he answered. "You know or you don't know how your mental faculties get sharpened by hunger. I was dull enough, in one way, but alert enough in another. I can describe the man as much as I saw of him.
In even closer relation to Hyde's official sphere was Sir Edward Nicholas, the Principal Secretary of State, between whom and Hyde there was the sacred tie of common service and common veneration for the late King. Nicholas was no brilliant statesman, and had no ambitious schemes to serve.
Dan was so energetic in this exercise, that there was some danger of his knocking down his neighbors, like so many nine-pins, or sending his bean-bags whizzing among the audience; for he was excited by Mr. Hyde's presence, and a burning desire to do honor to his teachers. "A fine, strong lad.
