On the following morning she went to her publishers, and was closeted for half an hour with the senior partner, Mr Leadham. 'I've got it all in black and white, she said, full of the wrong which had been done her, 'and can prove him to be wrong. It was in 1522 that the man first came to Paris, and he couldn't have been her lover before that. I got it all out of the "Biographie Universelle."
Polly, with her clutch of Brahma eggs in her hand, that she was taking to the Bannisdale Bridge Farm, leant against the stile and cried. "Alan! is it to-night you expect Father Leadham?" "Yes," said Helbeck. "Have you told Laura?" "I will remind her that we expect him. It is annoying that I must leave you to entertain him to-morrow." "Oh! we shall do very well," said Augustina rather eagerly.
"You you would like to correspond with Father Leadham?" he repeated, in stupefaction. She nodded. Involuntarily she began a little angry beating with her foot that he knew well. It was always the protest of her pride, when she could not prevent the tears from showing themselves. He controlled himself. He turned his chair so as to come within an easy talking distance.
"It would be a crime a crime to marry him," she said, with a dull resolve that was beyond weeping. Helbeck and Father Leadham sat long together after Augustina had retired. There was an argument between them in which the Jesuit at last won the victory. Helbeck was persuaded to a certain course against his judgment to some extent against his conscience.
"... Why was England lost to the Church? Because Henry was a villain? because the Tudor bishops were slaves and poltroons? Does Leadham, or any other rational man really think so?" The little black man nodded. He did not think it worth while to speak. But Friedland went on enlarging, with his hand on his Molly's head looking into her quiet eyes.
Leadham and Loiter had thought that they might be justified in offering her certain terms for a novel, terms not very high indeed, and those contingent on the approval of the manuscript by their reader. The smallness of the sum offered, and the want of certainty, and the pain of the work in her present circumstances, had all been felt by her to be very hard.
He would go into his library, and force himself to do his business, while Father Leadham talked to her and Augustina. But the library opened on the hall, and he could still hear that voice in the distance. Often, when she caressed the dogs, her tones had the note in them which had startled him on her very first evening under his roof.
He could not flatter himself that she looked any more kindly on his faith or his friends. And his friends or some of them were, to say the truth, pressing him hard. Father Leadham even, his director, upon whom during the earlier stages of their correspondence on the matter Helbeck seemed to have impressed his own waiting view with success, had lately become more exacting and more peremptory.
Leadham and Loiter their second very moderate cheque, with the expression of a fear on their part that there would not probably be a third, unless some unforeseen demand should arise, she repeated to herself those well-known lines from the satirist, 'Oh, Amos Cottle, for a moment think What meagre profits spread from pen and ink.
Even that bland old fraud, John Jacob Dumble, admitted sorrowfully that he was no match for Pap in a horse, cattle, or pig deal; and George Leadham, the blacksmith, swore that Pap would steal milk from a blind kitten. The humorists of the village were of opinion that Heaven had helped Pap because he had helped himself so freely out of other folks' piles.
