"If you will first grant me one test of my opinion. Will you meet Northway in some public place where Mr. Glazzard can be easily seen, and ask the man to point out his informant Mr. Marks?" After much debate, and with great reluctance, he consented. From his conversation of an hour ago he knew that Glazzard would be at the Academy on the morrow. He had expressed a hope for a meeting there.
And William White, though a good horseman and a champion with the plough and well thought upon by Farmer Northway, could not yet rise to that figure, though he went in hope that it might happen.
"I'm glad to hear that you'll understand why when we meet again. And, indeed, I quite agree with you." "Politics are no use nowadays," pursued Northway. "The questions of the time are social. We want a party that is neither Liberal nor Tory." "Exactly. Well, now, may I depend upon you?" "I'll come when you send for me." "Very well. I have your address."
She is quite safe. And as for Northway, I am perfectly sure that you can keep him silent." "You think it possible?" "If you will consent to follow in the path I have prepared. I have taken no small trouble." She looked up at him and smiled. "You have behaved like a true friend, Mrs. Wade it is no more than I should have expected of you. But what have you planned?
Wade addressed him, and invited him to enter; but Northway, having ascertained that there was no escape from the cottage which he could not watch, drew back. "Thank you," he said; "I had rather wait out here. If that lady wants me, I shall be within reach." Mrs. Wade nodded, and drew her friend in.
To be sure, there was the promise of assistance in a commercial career, but his indulgence of the last day or two had inclined him to prefer sums of ready money. Once elected, Quarrier would not submit to social disgrace for the sake of a thousand pounds nor for two thousand possibly not for five. Cupidity had taken hold upon Northway.
Here again she went to the window, and again had a good view of the man on guard. A smile rose to her face. Then she went out and signalled to Northway, who approached in an embarrassed way, doing his best to hold his head up and look dignified. Mrs.
"Excuse me I don't want that lady to go away until I have seen her again." Mrs. Wade none the less closed the door, holding herself with imperturbable politeness. "She is resting in the next room. I give you my word, Mr. Northway, that you will find her there when our conversation is over." He looked about him with sullen uneasiness, but could not resist this lady's manner. "Pray sit down.
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.
"I hope you will excuse my coming again," he began, as the widow regarded him with silent interrogation. "You spoke to me last time in such a very kind and friendly way. Being in a difficulty, I thought I couldn't do better than ask your advice." "What is the difficulty, Mr. Northway?" Her suave tone reassured him, and he seated himself.
