On the ridge which overlooked Froom-Everard he met a neighbour of his a stock-dealer in his gig, and they drew rein and exchanged a few words. A part of the dealer's conversation had much meaning for Nicholas. 'I've had occasion to call on Squire Everard, the former said; 'but he couldn't see me on account of being quite knocked up at some bad news he has heard.
The stock-dealer required an explanation with his eyes. "One is, that the child shall be left solely to his own care, after he has reached his fourth year; and the other is, that you make an endowment for the support of two poor scholars, at one of the principal schools."
And he had slipped into her hand a card scrawled with an address where he might be got at in case ... The pencilled oblong of soiled pasteboard was yet in a secret compartment of her handbag. By letter addressed care of W. Bough, Transport Agent and Stock-dealer, Van Busch was to be communicated with at a farmstead some thirty miles north.
The more the trade went down, the heavier was the burden of the cattle-tax on the stock that remained. The stock-dealer was thus ruined from both sides at once. In the same way, the Limousin horses, whose breed had been famous all over France, had ceased to be an object of commerce, and the progressive increase of taxation had gradually extinguished the trade.
