I suppose she is at Calcutta still waiting, for of course she could not have come out with you. I suppose that she is breaking her heart there now if she is not dead, as I hope she is." "Did you hear the word Calcutta or India mentioned, Lechmere?" "No, I did not, but I heard quite enough.
"True, I forgot; why is he not in uniform?" "Because, unfortunately, my Lord, we don't own him; he's not in the army." "Ha! ha! thought he was." "You dance, O'Malley, I suppose? I'm sure you'd rather be over there than hearing all my protestations of gratitude, sincere and heartfelt as they really are." "Lechmere, introduce my friend, Mr. O'Malley; get him a partner."
He said, "Never: Mr. Adams will not come to Quincy, but to my funeral. It would be a great satisfaction to me to see him, but I don't wish him to come on my account." He spoke of Mr. Lechmere, whom "he well remembered to have seen come down daily, at a great age, to walk in the old town-house," adding, "And I wish I could walk as well as he did.
Carthew, as he ran out of the hut, discharged his pistol at the sailors, but in his surprise and excitement missed them; and before he had time to level another, George Lechmere bounded upon him, and with a shout of "This is for Martha Bennett," brought his cutlass down upon his head. He fell like a log, and at the same moment one of the sailors shot his companion.
Anna had been instructed very carefully, by her mistress, not to say anything of what had happened, and in order that she might avoid questions, George Lechmere had seen her into a cab for Liverpool Street, as she wished to spend a week with some friends at Chelmsford. Then she was to join Bertha at Greendale. Frank went to his chambers, where George Lechmere had driven with the luggage.
The police of Stroud came over in the afternoon, and took up the investigation. The general opinion was that she must have been murdered, and every pond was dragged, every ditch examined, for a distance round the farm. In the meantime George Lechmere held his tongue. "It is better," he said to himself, "that her parents and friends should think her dead than know the truth."
But I know I shall have to drink a glass of wine at each place, and I can assure you that I am not accustomed to tipple in the morning. "Ah, here come your two sons across the fields. I will meet them at the gate. If I were to begin a regular talk with Bob today, the morning would be gone." "George has changed wonderfully," Mrs. Lechmere said, as they accompanied him to the gate.
After renewed thanks, Frank took his departure with his new interpreter, whose name was Pedro. George Lechmere was waiting at the corner of the street. "I have arranged everything satisfactorily, George. This young man is coming with me as interpreter, and as he speaks both French and Spanish we shall get on well in future. "When will you be ready to come on board, Pedro?"
I was tempted to present myself at Sir Edmund's door as one who knew something about the Lechmeres in America, but I did not feel sure how cordially a descendant of the rebels who drove off Richard and Mary Lechmere would be received. From Great Malvern we went to Bath, another place where we could rest and be comfortable.
I did not care much which it was, but I would not have anyone say that I had married for position I hated the idea of that and so I would have taken the third. He was bright and pleasant, and all that sort of thing, and I thought that I could be happy with him, until George Lechmere opened my eyes.
