When Edward came out and went to the Charing Cross post-office, the man followed him and saw him drop the letter into the box. The stranger did not further trouble himself to follow Springrove back to his lodging again. Manston now knew that there had been photographs of some kind in his wife's workbox, and though he had not been near enough to see them, he guessed whose they were.
When the examination of all was ended, and the last man had retired, Nyttleton, again as at the former time, blandly asked his client which of the eight she personally preferred. 'I still think the fifth we spoke to, Springrove, the man whose letter I pounced upon at first, to be by far the best qualified, in short, most suitable generally.
Whilst Master Teddy Springrove has been daddlen, and hawken, and spetten about having her, she's quietly left him all forsook. Serve him right. I don't blame the little woman a bit. 'Farmer Bollens is old enough to be her father! 'Ay, quite; and rich enough to be ten fathers. They say he's so rich that he has business in every bank, and measures his money in half-pint cups.
Without waiting for any person to show her into it, Cytherea hurried upstairs again, brushed through the corridor, entered the room specified, and closed the door. Edward heard her sob out 'Nobody but Owen shall speak to me nobody! 'He will be here directly, said Springrove, close against the panel, and then went towards the stairs. He had seen her; it was enough.
Miss Aldclyffe neither moved nor spoke during this proceeding; it might have been supposed that she was quite unmindful of it, had it not been for what was revealed by a keen penetration of the veil covering her countenance the rays from two bright black eyes, directed towards the lawyer and his interlocutor. Springrove came fifth; Manston seventh.
The train moved along, and he was soon out of sight. Springrove had long since passed that peculiar line which lies across the course of falling in love if, indeed, it may not be called the initial itself of the complete passion a longing to cherish; when the woman is shifted in a man's mind from the region of mere admiration to the region of warm fellowship.
The remainder of the group, brown-faced peasants, wore smock-frocks embroidered on the shoulders with hearts and diamonds, and were girt round their middle with a strap, another being worn round the right wrist. 'And have you seen the steward, Mr. Springrove? said the clerk. 'Just a glimpse of him; but 'twas just enough to show me that he's not here for long. 'Why mid that be?
The shovel shone like silver from the action of the juice, and ever and anon, in its motion to and fro, caught the rays of the declining sun and reflected them in bristling stars of light. Mr. Springrove had been too young a man when the pristine days of the Three Tranters had departed for ever to have much of the host left in him now.
'Don't be so three-cunning if it is all, deliver you from the evil of raising a woman's expectations wrongfully; I'll skimmer your pate as sure as you cry Amen! 'Well, it isn't all. 'Got married! what, Lord-a-mercy, did Springrove come? 'Springrove, no no Springrove's nothen to do wi' it 'twas Farmer Bollens. They've been playing bo-peep for these two or three months seemingly.
One was a man of official appearance, commonplace in all except his eyes. The other was Edward Springrove. The discovery of the carefully-concealed letters rankled in the mind of Anne Seaway. Her woman's nature insisted that Manston had no right to keep all matters connected with his lost wife a secret from herself. Perplexity had bred vexation; vexation, resentment; curiosity had been continuous.
