"Then I know you are only trying another way of providing for me." "You believe I have only just thought of it?" "Haven't you?" "I have thought of it since you were fifteen, my dear. But never mind. We will call it a joke, if you think that the least of two evils. I see you do. The incident is closed. The bargain is off. And I can buy Redford when it is put up for sale. Goodbye, goddaughter.
"Another such threat, and I will shoot you with as much indifference as I would a sneaking dog. Now go on and do as I bid you." Redford gave in at once. He was at Rosco's mercy. Without a word he passed on in advance, and ascended the ravine with a quick, steady step.
One or two spurts at the commencement of their career had satisfied the mate, as well as the men, that the only way to overcome Rosco was to take his life; and as Redford had not sufficient courage, and the men no desire, to do that, they pursued their evil courses in comparative harmony.
So that a sort of air of entertaining "company" pervaded the room. Deb felt a constraint with her sister, and that she was making no way with her mission. But Robert stepped into the breach. With Mary's son the impulsive lady of Redford was unexpectedly pleased. There was not a trace of Pennycuick to be discerned in him; nevertheless, he was a good-looking, intelligent and interesting boy.
Thus the unexpected happened, as it has a way of doing in this world, and the t'penny-ha'penny mate of old Redford days had become the head of a county family. His experiences had trained him for the change. He took it soberly, without losing his head.
Lord Redford remarked, lighting a fresh cigarette. "This may be his opportunity, who can tell!" "Will he have the nerve to grasp it?" Borrowdean asked. "Mannering has never been proved in a crisis." "He may have the nerve. I should be more inclined to question the desire," Lord Redford said. "For a man in his position he has always seemed to me singularly unambitious.
Dr. Redford says the drains can't possibly be touched while we're all in the house, and yet they must be opened at once. Can't you guess now?" "Miss Russell never means to send us home when we've only just come back?" gasped Lindsay hopefully. "No, not that, though it's nearly as jolly.
He avoids friendship, but he makes no enemies. He cultivates a neutral position whenever he can. What he is looking forward to, I am sure, is to found a coalition Government." "It is very possible," Lord Redford remarked. "I wonder if he will ask me to join." "Always selfish," Berenice laughed. "You men are all alike!" "On the contrary," Lord Redford answered, "my interest was purely patriotic.
Jim Urquhart had been fighting bush fires for several days when the wind changed and carried them back over the burnt ground that extinguished them. When he rode home, dead beat, from helping a neighbour who had helped him, it was to meet the news that Mr Thornycroft was dead, and Mrs Urquhart gone to Redford to support Deborah Pennycuick.
Between you you have created a very serious situation. I must go up to town to-morrow and see Manningham. In the meantime, Leslie, I shall leave those reports severely alone. We must ignore Mannering altogether." Berenice turned away with a smile at her lips. She had a very little opinion of Lord Redford and his following.
