Medland turned towards him, and in slow and measured tones began to describe a visit he had paid to Kilshaw's mill. He named no name, but everybody knew to whose works he referred.
Nobody doubted that Kilshaw had kept this man Benyon, or Benham, as a secret weapon, and that the murder had only made the disclosure come earlier. Kilshaw's reputation suffered somewhat in the minds of the scrupulous, but his partisans would hear of no condemnation.
"How can I marry her? You know I can't especially after this story of Kilshaw's." "Very well. Then if you can't marry her, and yet can't help making love to her " "I didn't say I made love to her." "But you do making love to her, I say, as often as you see her, why, you mustn't see her." "I'm bound to see her." "As long as you stay here, yes. But you needn't stay here.
The sudden departure of Dick Derosne was, according to Kilshaw's view of it, a notable triumph for him over his adversary; but he was not a man to rest content with one victory. He had hardly achieved this success when a chance word from Captain Heseltine started him in a new enterprise, and a hint from Sir John Oakapple confirmed him in his course.
His cool scepticism unloosed Benham's tongue, when an eager curiosity might have revived his prudence and set a seal on his lips. He had chafed at being thought a nobody so long: Kilshaw's injunctions against gossip had been so hard to follow: he could not resist trying what startling effect a hint would have.
"By Jove!" exclaimed the Governor. "That was what " He checked himself before Kilshaw's name could leave his lips. "Yes? Now, Willie, if that's true or or anything like it, you know, is it right for Alicia to be constantly with Daisy Medland and and in and out of the house, you know?" The Governor looked grave.
Captain Heseltine yawned, stretched, and rose to his feet. "Come along, Flemyng," he said. "The show's over for to-night." He seemed to express the general feeling, but men were reluctant to acknowledge so disappointing a conclusion, and the preparations for departure were slow and lingering. They had not fairly begun before Mr. Kilshaw's entrance abruptly checked them.
He's furious with Medland, partly for doing the thing at all, partly for not telling him sooner. He thinks Medland took advantage of his civility yesterday and paraded him in the Park as on his side, while all the time he never said a word about this move of his." "Ah!" said everybody, and Coxon, who knew nothing about the matter, endorsed Kilshaw's account with a significant nod.
"Is it legal, Sir John?" asked another of the Chief Justice, who had come in from court and was taking a cup of tea. "It's mere bullying," exclaimed a third, catching Kilshaw's sympathetic eye. "We'll not be bullied," answered that gentleman. "Every right-feeling and respectable man is with us, from the Governor " "The Governor? How do you know?" burst from half-a-dozen mouths. "I do know.
As he rose, he caught sight of Kilshaw's scornful smile, and, swearing savagely, with a sudden rush he burst the ring round him and made for the arch-enemy. Kilshaw raised his arm to shield himself, Captain Heseltine stepped forward and deftly put out his foot. Big Todd, tripped in the manner of the old football, fell heavily to the ground, striking his bullet poll on the hard road.
