Pomeroy's sleeve, and dragging him aside out of earshot of Tamplin, who was following them, 'This is madness! he urged vehemently. 'Sheer madness! Have you considered, Mr. Pomeroy? If she is here, what claim have we to interfere with her? What authority over her? What title to force her away? If we had overtaken her on the road, in the country, it might have been one thing. But here
Pomeroy occurred to him unless he ran away. He had known of boys doing this before. Some had been brought back, and, of course, were punished severely for their temerity, but others had escaped, and had never returned. What had become of them Phil did not know, but he rightly concluded that they could not be any worse off than in the service of the padrone.
"Is he at Berry Pomeroy still?" I asked, trembling, thinking this would be a good person to get information from about the people at the Athletic Sports. "Oh dear, no," Minnie answered, looking hard at me, curiously. "He was never at Berry Pomeroy. He had a practice at Babbicombe. He's in Canada now, you know. He went over six months after Cousin Vivian's death.
"I will snap you the very first one if you will say yes." "That is quite an inducement," laughed Miss Pomeroy. "Of course you may take all the crackers you wish and as many kodaks as you possess." So thus armed, a merry eight left Ivy Hall a few moments later and tramped gayly away to the park.
Pomeroy is not the only man who has bailiffs to avoid. 'Stuff me, Tommy, if I am not of your opinion! cried Lord Almeric. And he struck the table with unusual energy. Pomeroy turned on him in surprise as great as his disgust. 'What? he cried. 'You would give the girl and her money fifty thousand to this old hunks! 'I? Not I! I would have her myself! his lordship answered stoutly.
"That was one of my assistants," he explained, "one of the cleverest. The trial will be before Judge Pomeroy in General Sessions and it will be an early trial. Pomeroy is one of the best of them, too about to retire, and wants to leave a good record on the bench behind him. Things are shaping up as well as we could wish for."
Damme, you are a cunning one. I had not thought of that. She'll appeal to them, will she? Then she shall be my sister, run off from her home! Ha! Ha! Or no, my lad, he continued, chuckling savagely, and slapping the tutor on the back; 'they know me here, and that I have no sister. She shall be your daughter! And while Mr. Thomasson stared aghast, Pomeroy laughed recklessly.
He was still seeking a propitiatory phrase with which to break the oppressive silence, when Pomeroy anticipated him. 'You think yourself vastly clever, Mr. Tutor, he growled, his voice hoarse with anger. 'You think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, I see. 'Ten in the bush, Mr. Thomasson answered, affecting an easiness he did not feel. 'Ten fives are fifty.
"Well, I'll get along, Miss Pomeroy. Just keep cool." Elinor followed him to the door and stood leaning against the big porch pillar as the detective crunched briskly down the gravel path. A group of men came hurrying up to meet him, and Elinor listened eagerly. "We got him, Chief!" she heard a voice say triumphantly. "Walking along the road bold as brass."
By careful diplomacy he succeeded in retaining for the new establishment the services of most of the colonial brigadiers, for Spencer returned, and Thomas, who saw his juniors promoted over his head, agreed to take rank beneath them. Only one among the new appointees, Pomeroy, the veteran of Louisburg who had fought at the rail fence at Bunker Hill, declined his commission.
