Finally the coroner had touched lightly, but severely, on evidence tendered by a spiteful ex-woman-servant of the Croftons who had drawn a very unpleasant picture of the relations existing between the husband and wife. Yet when the verdict of felo de se had been returned, there had been murmurs in Court, at once sharply checked by the coroner. Radmore felt surprised.
In the old days, intermingled with her deep love of Radmore, there had been a protective, almost maternal, feeling, and although Radmore had been four years older than herself, she had always felt the older of the two.
Doubtless Enid Crofton had given Jack his dismissal, and the foolish fellow was going to pour it all out. He felt he was in for a disagreeable, not to say painful, half hour. Few people of a kindly disposition even reach the age Radmore had reached without having had more than one such talk with a young man crossed in love.
She put on the motor bonnet again, and then she went over to where a black garden hat, with just one rose on the brim, and with long blue velvet strings, was lying on a table. "I think Timmy's mother would look very nice in this," she said smiling. The black hat was slipped into a big paper-bag, and handed to Timmy. Then Radmore exclaimed: "Now then, we've no time to lose!
"That dog," said Timmy in a hoarse whisper, "frightened poor Mrs. Crofton very much the other day as she was coming out of church." For a moment Radmore thought the room was empty. Then, in the dim lamp-light, a woman, who had been sitting by the fireplace, got up. "Here's Mr. Radmore come all the way from Australia, mother." "Mr.
That the boy's doing as well out in Brisbane as he is, is largely owing to Radmore's good offices." Mrs. Tosswill was surprised, and not quite pleased. She wondered why Dr. O'Farrell had not told her at the time that he was writing to Godfrey. She still subconsciously felt that Godfrey Radmore belonged to Old Place and to no one else in Beechfield. "I didn't know about Pat," she said slowly.
Trotman, and then the famous vet took them down the trellised path and stood in the doorway till they got into the car. "I'm glad to have met you, Mr. Trotman," Radmore called out heartily. "I'd like to come over here one day, and go over your place."
Even so it is very unlikely that she will ever know what that queer little bonnet, which she intends to keep as long as she lives, really meant to Godfrey Radmore how it had suddenly made him feel that here was the young Betty of nine years ago come back, never to disappear into the mists of time again. Something else happened in the High Street of that little Sussex town.
Then, after he had shaken hands with Janet and Tom, they all stood together on the hearthrug waiting, so Radmore supposed, for the parlourmaid to come in and announce dinner. But instead of that happening, the door opened and Timmy appeared. "Will you come into the dining-room? Everything's ready now."
He sent me a lovely picture postcard once it was to Timmy Tosswill, Esq. and then I asked Betty whether she meant to marry him, as he was such a nice sort of man. She was awfully angry with me for knowing about it, and she began to cry. So you won't say anything to her, will you?" "No, of course I won't," said Radmore hastily.
