"I promised Polly to spend my first vacation with 'em after they're married Oh, you'll see; I'll make a farmer one of these days!" I laughed and then said seriously: "Whether you made the marriage or not, you have cleared Radnor's name from any suspicion of dishonor, and I don't know how we can ever sufficiently show our gratitude."
Pacing on the Park side of the house, he saw Skepsey drive up and leap out with a gentleman, Mr. Radnor's lawyer. Could it be, that there was no Will written? Could a Will be executed now? The moral was more forcibly suggested. Dudley beheld this Mr.
Sir Rodwell Blachington would have preferred Radnor's not leading or playing either. Colonel Corfe and Mr. Caddis declined to consider such conduct English, in a man of station... notwithstanding Royal Highnesses, who are at least partly English: partly, we say, under our breath, remembering our old ideal of an English gentleman, in opposition to German tastes.
These are the deluge days when even aristocracy will cry blessings on the man who procures a commercial appointment for one of its younger sons offended and rebutted by the barrier of Examinations for the Civil Service. 'To have our Adolphus under Mr. Victor Radnor's protection, is a step! Lady Blachington said. Nataly was in an atmosphere of hints and revealings.
This was the universal opinion; no one, from the beginning, would listen to a word against Mose. In his case, as well as in Radnor's, the past was speaking. Through all his life, they said, he had faithfully loved and served the Colonel, and if necessity required, he would willingly have died for him. But for myself, I continued to believe in the face of all opposition, that Mose was guilty.
It was then a very extensive borough, including a large agricultural district, as well as Swindon, the headquarters of the Great Western Railway. For many years it had returned two Conservative members, Messrs. Nield and Goddard. It was looked upon as an impregnable Tory stronghold, and the fight was little better than a forlorn hope. My headquarters were at Coleshill, Lord Radnor's.
Radnor; pray, believe I have the greatest respect for Mr. Radnor's abilities. He is one of our foremost men . . . proud of him. Mr. Radnor has genius; I have watched him; it is genius; he shows it in all he does; one of the memorable men of our times. I can admire him, independent of well, misfortune of that kind . . . a mistaken early step. Misfortune, it is to be named.
We propose to supply the deficiency. She does not declare war upon tobacco. She has a cultured and a beautiful voice. We abstain from enlargeing on the charms of her person. She has resources, which representatives of a rival creed would plot to secure. 'Skepsey, you have your quarters at the house of Miss Radnor's relatives? said Mr. Barmby, as they emerged from tunnelled chalk.
This gave me no chance to plan any sort of campaign, and I could do little more than let matters take their course. I hoped however that in the progress of the inquest, some clue would be brought to light which would render Radnor's being remanded for trial impossible. So far, I had to acknowledge, the evidence against him appeared overwhelming.
Radnor's step sounded on the stair as he came running down whistling I noted. "Ah Rad," the Colonel called from the office doorway. "You're a good sleeper." Radnor stopped his whistle as his eye fell upon our faces, and his own took on a look of anxiety. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Has anything happened?" "It appears the ha'nt has robbed the safe." "The ha'nt?"
