Prodgers, and good-naturedly gave her the benefit of his wisdom. To the London magistrates the good lady was a perpetual terror, and Frederick Burton, a diligent newspaper reader, took a pleasure in following her experiences. "St. George," he would call across the breakfast table, "Mrs. Giacometti Prodgers again: She's had another cab-man up."
"Why is it vital, after all, that only one should undertake this ordeal?" he asked. "I begged you to let me try for revenge." "Do not use that word," said Mr. Prodgers. "Well, at any rate, I feel just as great a call to be there as Tom's father can feel just as pressing a demand and desire. There may have been foul play.
"Quite natural seeing that she has been engaged to him for twelve months." "Of that I know nothing. But my interest about your brother has been because of her. You can explain all this about your brother if you please, or can let it alone. But for myself, I decline to answer any more questions. If Prodgers thinks that he can arrest me, let him come and try."
They were for a moment struck dumb by this extraordinary assertion and demand. A thousand objections leaped to the lips of the elder men, and Mr. Prodgers, a devout young Christian of poor physique but great spiritual courage, found himself as interested by this fearless demand of faith as the others were alarmed by it. Sir Walter spoke. "We know it is so, May.
He bade them "Good-night" without more words, and went to his room, while after further conversation, Dr. Mannering and Mr. Prodgers took their leave. The former strongly urged Sir Walter to set some sort of guard outside the door of the Grey Room. "That man's not wholly sane to-night," he declared, "and he appears to glory in the fact that he isn't.
The sound of this nearly drove him mad with joy. He forgot all his troubles. Prodgers, the policeman, Augustus Scarborough, and that fellow whom he hated so much, Septimus Jones; what were they all to him now? He had set his mind upon one thing of value, and he had got it. Florence had promised to be his, and he was sure that she would never break her word to him.
I was alone for the first time since my wedding! It would be evening before Augustus could return from seeing them off in London. There was almost one whole day. What should I do? Where should I go? Roy even barked with pleasure. As I turned back into the house, the butler informed me Hephzibah Mrs. Prodgers was waiting to see me. Dear old nurse! She comes up rarely.
"The idea of your flying into a passion because I have endeavored to explain it all to you! At any rate I have your absolute denial, and that will enable me to deal both with my father and Prodgers." To this Harry made no answer, and the two young men walked back to Tretton together without many more words between them.
Prodgers to carry on his business to the man who employs him, namely, Mr. Tyrrwhit, and I advise you to do the same." Soon after that Harry Annesley took his leave, but he could not divest himself of an opinion that both the policeman and his host had thought that he had some knowledge respecting the missing man.
Any bold line of action that was contrary to the law recommends itself to his approbation. But Prodgers has a lurking idea that he should like to arrest you." "What for?" "Simply because he thinks you know something that he doesn't know. As he's a detective, that, in his mind, is quite enough for arresting any man. I may as well give him my assurance, then, that he is mistaken."
