Her quick gesture showed it to him. "Charles Patten," she told him emphatically, "I am risking Mr. Norton's life; I am therefore risking my own. Understand what that means. Understand just what you have got to win or lose by to-night's work.
I think we shall be able to find a satrapy a-piece for them, as compensation for to-night's undeserved imprisonment. To you, my Greek friend, I am deeply indebted. In discharge of this debt, and as a means of retaining you at my court, I beg you to accept one hundred talents from my treasury." "I shall scarcely be able to use so large a sum," said Phanes, bowing low.
"Come away with me where she'll not find you." "An' where's that, Pierre darlin'?" "I'll tell you that when to-night's fighting's over. Have you a mind for Wonta?" he continued. "I've a mind for Wonta an' many another as fine, but I'm a married man," he said, "by priest an' by book; an' I can't forget that, though the woman's to me as the pit below." Pierre looked curiously at him.
When the coach comes in, I hope I shall receive a packet from you, which shall not be lost, though it may not be used immediately. "I must leave off writing, for I have got some other letters to send by to-night's post.
"H'm," she observed, presently, "those game-dinners at the Pacific are still going on, aren't they? To-night's the thirty-eighth. Nice things, too, as I remember them. That's the way I learned to like venison. Here are some of the people to be there your Mrs. Bates among them." She looked across to her father. "Why didn't you go?"
But I expect that lets her out, doesn't it?" Frederica shook her head. "She's a good deal of a person, I should say, on the strength of to-night's showing. She kept her face perfectly through the whole thing didn't try to nag at him or apologize to the rest of us. I'd like to know what she's saying to him now." Then, "Oh, I was furious with you an hour ago," she went on.
Then Jack began again: "You see, I've got to go and tell Lord Talgarth. Miss Launton, I wish you'd come with me. Then we can both write by to-night's post." Jenny said nothing for an instant. Then: "I suppose that would be best," she said. "Shall we go up pretty soon? I expect we shall find him in the garden." Jack winced a little. Jenny smiled at him openly. "Best to get it over, Mr. Jack.
"The tangle-foot all went down the pussyfoot's neck, so I left 'Robbie Burns' in the car. By the way, don't forget to ring up about that car. Old Mut-mut cut the cushions to ribbons; that bit of evidence might save my neck." Finucane smiled pleasantly. "You seem to have left a trail of coroner's inquests behind you," he said. "All in the day's work," said Dick. "But not, thank God! in to-night's."
"Quite legible," she said; for she answered before it was blotted by her tears. Instead of "forgiven," Garth had written: "LOVED." "Can you post it at once?" Garth asked, in a low, eager voice. "And she will come oh, my God, she will come! If we catch to-night's mail, she may be here the day after to-morrow!" Nurse Rosemary took up the letter; and, by an almost superhuman effort, spoke steadily.
"If I write to London by to-night's post for the man who came down here before, will that satisfy you?" Midwinter shook his head. "Our time is short," he said; "and the man may not be at liberty. Why not try in the neighborhood first? You were going to write to Mr. Darch. Send at once, and see if he can't help us between this and post-time."
