Dodgson, the Raeburns' candidate, has got a great start; this young man will want all his time to catch him up. I like him. I won't vote for him; but I'll see fair play. I've asked him to come to tea here on Saturday, Evelyn. He'll be back again by the end of the week. He stays at Dell's farm when he comes pretty bad accommodation, I should think. We must show him some civility."
The prosecution have got together extremely strong evidence as to Hurd's long connection with the gang, in spite of the Raeburns' kindness as to his repeated threats that he would 'do for' Westall if he and his friends were interrupted and so on. His own story is wholly uncorroborated; and Dynes's deposition, so far as it goes, is all against it."
Aldous Raeburn was a person whom everybody respected; confidences were safe with him; and he was himself deeply interested in the affair. The Raeburns being the Raeburns, with all that that implied for smaller people in Brookshire, little Mr. Burridge was aware of no reason whatever why Westall's employers should not know that, although Mr.
Clearly there was in him a strong consciousness that by his attentions to the Radical candidate he was asserting his independence of the Raeburns, and nothing for the moment seemed to be more of an object with him, even though his daughter was going to marry the Raeburns' heir.

"Why did you write, or allow that article on the West Brookshire landlords two days ago?" Wharton started. "Well! wasn't it true?" "No!" she said with a curling lip; "and I think you know it wasn't true." "What! as to the Raeburns? Upon my word, I should have imagined," he said slowly, "that it represented your views at one time with tolerable accuracy." Her nerve suddenly deserted her.
Marcella, whose whole conscious nature was by now one network of sensitive nerve, saw Aldous flush and shrink as the words were spoken. Then, looking across the court, she caught the eye of an old friend of the Raeburns, a county magistrate. At the judge's remark he had turned involuntarily to where she and Aldous sat; then, as he met Miss Boyce's face, instantly looked away again.
But it sounds like my impudence to be talking to you about about You see," he blurted out, "she's going to Italy with the Raeburns. She's a connection of theirs, somehow, and Miss Raeburn's taken a fancy to her lately and her mother's treated me like dirt ever since they asked her to go to Italy and naturally a fellow sees what that means and what her mother's after.
