He was a coarse man who knew how to cringe effectively; and Ralph had listened to him talking to Cromwell, with some dismay. But he would be to a large extent independent of him, and only in his company at some of the larger houses that needed more than one Visitor. Thomas Legh, too, a young doctor of civil law, was scarcely more attractive.
It is true, I sometimes carry him a little beyond the depth of the other listeners. Profound learning, continued Miss Pratt, shutting her spectacles, and tapping them on the book before her, 'has not many to estimate it in Milby. 'Miss Pratt, said Rebecca, 'will you please give me Scott's "Force of Truth?" There that small book lying against the "Life of Legh Richmond."
"What things are these?" said Mary, struck with the weird-looking creatures that sprawled around the room in their roughly-made glass cases. But she was not prepared for the technical names, which Job Legh pattered down on her ear, on which they fell like hail on a skylight; and the strange language only bewildered her more than ever. Margaret saw the state of the case, and came to the rescue.
Will's appearance had only added to the intensity of this suspense. The full meaning of the verdict could not at once penetrate his brain. He stood dizzy and motionless. Some one pulled his coat. He turned, and saw Job Legh, the tears stealing down his brown furrowed cheeks, while he tried in vain to command voice enough to speak.
He kept shaking Jem by the hand, as the best and necessary expression of his feeling. "Here, make yourself scarce! I should think you'd be glad to get out of that!" exclaimed the gaoler, as he brought up another livid prisoner, from out whose eyes came the anxiety which he would not allow any other feature to display. Job Legh pressed out of court, and Jem followed unreasoningly.
I replied L500 for him and his jackals, including Dr. Legh, of which no account would be asked. He told me it was not enough, for after the jackals had their pickings nothing would be left for him but the bones; I, who asked so much, must offer more, and he made as though to dismiss me.
Mary got up under pretence of going to tell Margaret that she need not come to sleep with her to-night, but really to ask Job Legh to come and cheer her father. She stopped outside the door. Margaret was practising her singing, and through the still night air her voice rang out, like that of an angel "Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people, saith your God."
By that time every pupil from Lavinia Herbert, who was nearly thirteen and felt quite grown up, to Lottie Legh, who was only just four and the baby of the school had heard a great deal about her. They knew very certainly that she was Miss Minchin's show pupil and was considered a credit to the establishment.
Just then there came a great knocking on the street door, and the sound of a voice crying "In the King's name! In the King's name, open!" "That's Commissioner Legh," said Thomas. "I learned the cry from him, and it is a good one at a pinch, as some of you may remember." Emlyn dried her tears with her sleeve; Cicely sat down and Jacob shovelled the parchments into his big pockets.
Chalmers into the truth, but Legh Richmond to Christ. Richmond wrote "The Dairyman's Daughter," which has been published in a hundred languages, and many million copies have been sold. But he who would make the best use of good literature must be wise. How little tact some workers have! In a hospital a tract-distributor handed a leaflet on dancing to a poor fellow who had lost both limbs.
