Wade of what you have discovered?" "No to no one." It might be true or not. Denzil could only hope it was, and proceed on that assumption. "I am sure I may trust your word," he said, beginning to use diplomacy, with the immediate result that Northway's look encouraged him. "Now, please tell me another thing, as frankly.
The blunt, half-blustering declaration assured her that Northway's "conscience" was on the point of surrender. "Now, let me tell you what I should like to do," she continued, bending towards him. "Will you allow me to go at once and see Mr. Quarrier?" "And tell him?" "Yes, let him know what has happened.
Northway's experience lay solely among the representatives of English morality, and the frankly vicious; he could hardly imagine a "lady" whose view of the point at issue would admit pleas on Lilian's behalf. "If you go there," he said, "I must be with you." Lilian made no answer, but moved away. They passed into the road, tinned towards the cottage. On reaching the gate, Lilian saw Mrs.
Wade had told him of Northway's characteristics came into his mind, and he saw that this address might be mere bluster. "It's very natural for you to speak in that way; but there is no undoing what has happened. I must say that at once, and as firmly as possible. We may talk of how I can compensate you for for the injury; but of nothing else."
We shall look on and enjoy the situation unprecedented, I should think." Northway again smiled; he seemed to enter into the jest. "You sleep here," said Glazzard. "Your expenses are paid. I'll take leave of you now, and I sha'n't see you again, as I have to leave by the 3.40 up-train." The money he had promised was transferred to Northway's pocket, and they shook hands with much friendliness.
Travelling-bags and trunks in readiness for removal told of his journey on the morrow. All his arrangements were made; the marriage ceremony was to take place at ten o'clock, and shortly after eleven he and his wife would leave for London on their way to the Continent. Too soon, of course, to hear the result of Northway's visit to the Court-house.
"Undoubtedly. I shouldn't wonder if the blockhead aunt told. Well, the wedding-day came; they were married; and just as they came out of the church, up walks a detective, claps his hand on Northway's shoulder, and arrests him for forgery." "H'm! I see." "The fellow was tried. Lilian wouldn't tell me the details; she gave me an old newspaper with full report.
You will see that I have no kind of selfish object in view in fact, that I am quite justified in what looks like vulgar plotting." Glazzard threw out the words with a careless condescension, keeping his eyes on the landscape. "I'll take back the portrait, if you please." He restored it to his pocket, and watched Northway's features, which were expressive of mental debate.
She strove to concentrate her attention upon Northway's words, and divine their secret meaning. His talk continued for awhile in the same strain, but confused, uncertain, rambling. Mrs. Wade found it impossible to determine what he aimed at; now and then she suspected that he had been drinking. At length he stood up. "You still think I am justified in in making terms with Mr. Quarrier?"
The public proceedings had brought to light nothing whatever that seemed in conflict with medical evidence and the finding of the coroner's jury. One dangerous witness had necessarily come forward Mrs. Wade's servant; but the girl made no kind of allusion to Northway's visit didn't, in her own mind, connect it with Mrs. Quarrier's behaviour.
