A tiny brook that makes its way among briars and shingle to the more considerable mill-stream of Redman's Dell, sent up a hoarse babbling from the darkness beneath. Why exactly he halted there he could not have said. He glanced over his shoulder down the steps he had just scaled.
He seek much much but no' find." The game of bluff had succeeded. Now the boys knew for certain that the man was lying that he had not been commissioned by either of their parents, and both laughed derisively. "Trapped!" exclaimed Holden triumphantly. "You've got him tight as a rabbit in a gin, Bob." How that sneering laughter scorched the redman's pride!
An hour of illusion an hour of sleep an hour's respite of any sort, to six hours of pain and so the soul, in anguish, finds strength for its long labour, abridged by neither death nor madness. The vicar, with his little boy, Fairy, by the hand, used twice, at least, in the week to make, sometimes an hour's, sometimes only half an hours, visit at Redman's Farm.
But the narrow walk that turned from Redman's Dell was always dark in Stanley's memory; and Sadducees, although they believe neither in the resurrection nor the judgment, are no more proof than other men against the resurrections of memory and the penalties of association and of fear. Captain Lake had many things to think of. Some pleasant enough as he measured pleasure, others troublesome.
So soon as he was once more concealed by the screen of underwood, old Tamar, now sufficiently recovered, crept hurriedly away in the opposite direction, half dead with terror, until she had descended the steps, and was buried once more in friendly darkness. Old Tamar did not stop at Redman's Farm; she passed it and the mills, and never stopped till she reached the Vicarage.
In such darkness Redman's dell was a solemn, not to say an awful, spot; and at any time, I think, Rachel, in a like solitude and darkness, would have been glad to see the red glimmer of old Tamar's candle proclaiming under the branches the neighbourhood of human life and sympathy.
This deep gully in character a good deal resembles Redman's Glen, into which it passes, being fully as deep, and wooded to the summit at both sides, but much steeper and narrower, and therefore many shades darker.
The redman's notion of the theatric does not depend upon artificial appliances. He relies entirely upon the sun with its so clear light of the west and southwest to do his profiling and silhouetting for him, and he knows the sun will cooperate with every one of his intentions.
He had already passed the midway point, where this dark path begins to descend through the ravine into Redman's Dell. He did not like going forward but to turn back might bring him again beside the mysterious figure. And though he was not, of course, afraid of ghosts, nor in this part of the world, of robbers, yet somehow he did not know what to make of this gigantic gray monkey.
I had promised Chelford to run up to Redman's Farm, and let him know if the jury arrived at a verdict during his absence.
