"I am most assuredly not Frederick Thomasson," said I, "nor do I know if any such person exists, for I never heard the name before to-night. Yet, in spite of this, I am an unmitigated thief. Why, d'ye not understand?
But, you see, if she is not here, I am anxious to go in search of her as quickly as possible, where wherever she is. 'To be sure, that is natural, the landlord answered, holding the door open that the clergyman might pass out, 'seeing that you are her father, sir. I think you said you were her father? he continued, as Mr. Thomasson, with a scared look round the hall, emerged from the room.
'Tommy! he cried feverishly. 'What is afoot downstairs? Now, do you tell me the truth. 'Nothing, Mr. Thomasson answered soothingly. 'Because well, she's played it uncommon low on me, uncommon low she's played it, my lord complained pathetically; 'but fair is fair, and willing's willing! And I'll not see her hurt. Pom's none too nice, I know, but he's got to understand that.
What did the rest matter? Mr. Thomasson might have undeceived her, but the sudden stoppage of the chaise had left no place in the tutor's mind for aught but terror. At any moment, now the chaise was at a stand, the door might open and he be hauled out to meet the fury of his pupil's eye, and feel the smart of his brutal whip. It needed no more to sharpen Mr.
He was standing, holding by the back of a chair. 'I tell you I where is she? You are jealous! That's what you are! Jealous! She is fond of me pretty charmer and I shall go to her! But Mr. Thomasson shook his head; not so much because he shrank from the outrage which the other contemplated with a grin, as because he now wished Lord Almeric to succeed.
Thomasson opened the door and bowed her out; and this done and the door closed after her, 'Lord, what ceremony! he said, with an ugly sneer. 'Is't real, man, or are you bubbling her? And what is this Cock-lane story of a chaise and the rest? Out with it, unless you want to be tossed in a blanket. 'True, upon my honour! Mr. Thomasson asseverated.
'If I do not hear from you, I am staying at the Mitre Inn. Mr. Thomasson, I bid you good-night. My lord, your servant. And with that, and though Mr. Thomasson, wringing his hands over what had occurred and the injury to himself that might come of it, attempted some feeble remonstrances, Sir George bowed sternly, took his hat and went down.
Thomasson, he shuffled his feet uncomfortably. 'There are no horses, he faltered, cursing his indiscreet companion. 'Mr. Pomeroy means well, I know. And as there are no horses, even if nothing prevented you, you could not go to-night, you see. Mr. 'There's a champion for you! he cried. 'Beauty in distress! Lord! how it fires his blood and turns his look to flame!
Thomasson cried peremptorily, and waving his lanthorn again, startled the horses; which plunged away wildly, the man tugging vainly at the reins.
'Ugh, one might as well be Thomasson and ruin boys. No, doctor, that will not do. I had sooner hang myself at once, as poor Fanny Braddock did at Bath, or put a pistol to my head like Bland! 'God forbid! said the doctor solemnly. Sir George shrugged his shoulders, but little by little his face lost its hardness. 'Yes, God forbid, he said gently. 'But it is odd.
