It didn't come on till afterwards. She loved Lord Saltash, and he loved her." Toby spoke with a certain hardness, as if challenging contradiction. "She'd have married him but for you." Jake met the challenge squarely. "Quite possibly she would. Think she'd have been any happier?" Toby shook her head. "No. I think you were always meant to be her man. But it it was rather hard on him."
"Do you tell me you have never realized that she cared for you?" he blurted forth abruptly, and there was something akin to agony in his utterance of the words. He knew that he was baring his breast for the stroke as he forced them out. But Saltash did not strike. Just for an instant he showed surprise. Then quite suddenly he lowered his weapon. He faced Bunny with a smile of comradeship.
Of course I should have married her!" "You are sure of that?" Saltash said. "Damn you yes!" With terrific force Dick answered him. He stood like an animal ready to spring, goaded to the end of his endurance, yet waiting waiting for something, he knew not what. If Saltash had smiled then he would have been upon him in an instant. But Saltash did not smile.
Toby what?" "Toby Wright, sir." Very promptly the answer came. Saltash's eyes scrutinized him with half derisive amusement. "I hope it's a good fit," he remarked. "Well, look here, Toby, you must go to bed. Did you bring any luggage on board?" "No, sir. 'Fraid not, sir. Very sorry, sir. I came away in a hurry," explained Toby rather nervously. "And stole the hotel livery," said Saltash. "No, sir.
"Juliette seems to have found her vocation," observed Saltash with a lazy chuckle. "But no, I should not say that she was specially trained for this sort of thing, though certainly it seems to suit her passing well. All the same, you won't let her carry it too far, will you? Now that Mrs. Fielding is beginning to rally a little it might be a good opportunity to make her take a rest."
I nearly broke through once, but the wreck pulled me up, and when I recovered from that, I was more hopelessly lost than before." "So you are not enjoying it either!" remarked Larpent, with the glimmer of a smile. "But you don't seem to have let her down very far." Saltash brought his foot down with a bang. "I swore I'd keep her with me. I meant oh, God knows what I meant to do.
From Saltash I went to Liskeard, about seven miles.
"Haven't had much of a chance so far, sir." "All right," Saltash said again. "It's up to you. I shan't interfere. Don't expect too much of me; that's all I ask! I'm not considered exactly a suitable companion for young things like you." He drew his hand away and lighted his cigarette. Toby turned his face into the cushion and lay very still.
Saltash stretched up his arms with a laugh. "No, we'll talk sense good square sense. I take it you'll continue to manage the estate for the present? If you get bored, we'll find an agent, but I'm satisfied with things as they are. We'll go round and have a look at the old Dower House to-morrow. It has a fairly decent position, you know, overlooks Graydown. That ought to please you both."
P , an old college chum of mine, now practising at Saltash, in Devonshire. Upon my telling him of this experience of my son's, he declared to me that he was familiar with the man, and proceeded, to my no small surprise, to give me a description of him, which tallied remarkably well with that given in the journal, except that he depicted him as a younger man.
