Somers's prospects. Knowing as well as you do how perfectly independent I am, you would think it strange, wouldn't you? But you would think it still more surprising when you found out that I and my uncle already know how liberally and generously you had provided for Mr. Somers in the future." "How I had provided for Mr. Somers in the future?" repeated Mr. Rushbrook, looking at the fire, "eh?"
"Then imagine, Jane, what I would give!" replied Rushbrook, striking his forehead; "and now say no more about it." At twelve o'clock the next day the magistrates met, and the coroner's inquest was held upon the body of the pedlar.
Leyton thought he ought to write to my uncle something positive as to your prospects with Mr. Rushbrook, and" "You came here to inquire?" said the young man, sharply. "I came here to stop any inquiry," said Grace, indignantly. "I came here to say I was satisfied with what you had confided to me of Mr. Rushbrook's generosity, and that was enough!" "With what I had confided to you?
But look here," he said, suddenly stopping, with his arm in Leyton's, "you're through your talk, I suppose; perhaps you'd rather we'd dine with the Signora and the others than alone?" For an instant Leyton thrilled with the fascination of what he firmly believed was a guilty temptation. Rushbrook, perceiving his hesitation, added:
To do Rushbrook himself justice, his person and mind were of no plebeian mould. He was a daring, venturous fellow, ready at any emergency, cool and collected in danger, had a pleasure in the excitement created by the difficulty and risk attending his nocturnal pursuits, caring little or nothing for the profits.
"What have you discovered, Mary?" asked Mrs Austin, looking at her with alarm. "That Joseph Rushbrook is your own son," said Mary, kneeling down and kissing the hand of her mistress. "The secret is safe with me, depend upon it," she continued. "And how have you made the discovery, Mary; for I will not attempt to deny it?" Mary then entered into a detail of her conversation with Mr Trevor.
But Somers was not a sentimentalist; in fact, as a young girl, forced by her independent position to somewhat critically scrutinize masculine weaknesses, this had always been a point in his favor; yet even if he had joined with his friend Rushbrook to perpetuate the memory of their first acquaintanceship, his taste merely would not have selected a chambre de garcon in Mr.
In a minute or two a shepherd's dog, which had been released from the wash-house, made his appearance, and quietly lay down close to his master's feet; it was soon followed by Mrs Rushbrook, accompanied by Joey, a thin, meagre-looking boy, of about twelve years old, very small for his age, but apparently as active as a cat, and with energy corresponding.
"I'm glad that he's off," at last muttered Rushbrook; "he's a fine boy, that." "Yes, he is," replied Jane; "but when shall I behold him again?" "By-and-bye, never fear, wife. We must not stay in this place, provided this affair blows over." "If it does, indeed!"
As soon as the magistrate had been acquainted by the officer who the party was whom he had taken into custody, he first pointed out to our hero that he had better not say any thing which might criminate himself, and then asked him if his name was Joseph Rushbrook. Joey replied that it was.
