The equivalent of three of them was quite enough for me to carry from Inkston station up to the Cottage trying to look as if I were carrying nothing of any account! One hasn't got to pretend to be carrying nothing in full marching kit nor to carry it all in one hand. And he'd never trust himself in a cab might be kidnapped, you see!
Like many villages which lie near to London and have been made, by modern developments, more accessible than once they were, it showed chronological strata in its buildings. Down by the station all was new, red, suburban. Here Mary dwelt, but by good luck her predecessor, Dr. Christian Evans, had seized upon a surviving old cottage at the end of the avenue, and, indeed, of Inkston village itself.
Jeanne, however in these days a radiant Jeanne, very different from the mournful creature who had accompanied Captain Cranster's victim to Inkston a few weeks before was sitting up for her mistress and, since she had to perform this duty which was sweetened by the hope of receiving exciting confidences, for surely that affair was "marching?" it had been agreed between her and the other maids that she should sit up for the Doctor also.
By it Captain Alec guided his steps; and he arrived behind the tall gorse bush opposite Tower Cottage just in time to hear the Sergeant say "Mrs. Willnough, Laundress, Inkston," and to witness the parting of the two companions. There was very little to go upon there. Why should not one friend give another an address? But the examination? Beaumaroy should surely know of that?
In the road, in front of the house, is Captain Naylor you know that officer and his dimensions? He's in a very temper with you too. If I see your ugly phiz much longer, I may break out. Don't you think you'd better depart by the back door and go home? And if you're not out of Inkston for good and all by ten o'clock in the morning, and if you ever show yourself there again, look out for squalls.
And you too, Mr. Naylor? You're the oldest inhabitant of Inkston present, sir. Suppose you tell it to Mr. and Mrs. Radbolt? I'm sure it will make them attach a new value to this really very attractive cottage with, as Dr. Arkroyd says, the additional feature of the Tower." "I know the story only as a friend of mine Mr.
Penrose: "We were talking the other day of the Tower, on the heath, you know, by old Saffron's cottage, and none of us knew its history. You know all about Inkston from time out o' mind. Have you got any story about it?" Mr.
She laid her information before an attentive, if not very respectful, audience gathered round the tea-table at Old Place, the Naylors' handsome house on the outskirts of Sprotsfield and on the far side of the heath from Inkston. She was enjoying herself, although she was, as usual, a trifle distrustful of the quality of Mr. Naylor's smile; it smacked of the satiric.
To put it plainly, Sergeant Hooper he had been a Sergeant for a brief and precarious three weeks, but he used the title in civil life whenever he safely could, and he could at Inkston Sergeant Hooper was a villainous-looking dog.
The Captain could not yet cover the court in his old fashion, but his height and reach made him formidable at the net, and Cynthia was very active. Ten days of Inkston air had made a vast difference to Cynthia. And something else was helping. It required no common loyalty to lost causes and ruined ideals it is surely not harsh to indicate Captain Cranster by these terms? to resist Alec Naylor.
