Indeed her new reticence with regard to militant doings and beliefs struck Lady Tonbridge as more alarming than the young and arrogant defiance with which on her first arrival she had been wont to throw them at the world. Madeleine could not rid herself of the impression during these weeks that Delia had some secret cause of anxiety connected with the militant propaganda.
Came to the same thing in the end, anyhow. Caught him fair." "Hard luck on that Tonbridge man. He's a good boxer, really. Did well here last year." Then an outburst of hand-claps drowned the speakers' voices. A swarthy youth with the Ripton pink and green on his vest had pushed past him and was entering the ring. As he entered the dressing-room he heard the referee announcing the names.
And she thought with ardour of that intellectual awakening, under the strange influence of the apparently reserved and impassive woman, who had come to read history with her for six months, at the suggestion of a friend of her father's, a certain cultivated and clever Lady Tonbridge, "who saw how starved I was."
She got up at her usual time; she dismissed her nurse; and in the middle of the morning she came in upon Delia, who, in the desultory temper born of physical strain, was alternately trying to read Marshall's "Economics of Industry," and writing to Lady Tonbridge about anything and everything, except the topics that really occupied her mind.
"I means as a gent 'appenin' to fall in the dark may p'r'aps cut 'is 'ead open but 'e don't give 'isself two black eyes, a bloody nose, a split lip, an' three broken ribs, all at once it ain't nat'ral, w'ich if you says contrairy, I remarks 'Walker! Lord!" continued the Postilion, seeing I did not speak, "Lord! it must 'a' been a pretty warm go while it lasted you put 'im to sleep sound enough; it took me over a hour to Tonbridge, an' 'e never moved till 'e'd been put to bed at 'The Chequers' an' a doctor sent for.
So she was teaching one of Mark's crippled children? And Mark thought no doubt she would have done the like for anyone else with a charitable hobby? Perhaps she would, for her heart was a fount of pity. All the same, the man blind bat! understood nothing. No fault of his perhaps; but Lady Tonbridge felt a woman's angry sympathy with a form of waste so common and so costly.
And so, in a while, breakfast being done, Jessamy rose. "An' now for another go at Old Nick!" quoth he. "Where are ye for to-day?" questioned the Tinker. "Tonbridge 'tis market day an' Nick'll be busy in every tavern an' inn, as usual. What'll I bring back for supper?" "Well, a chicken's tasty," mused the Tinker, "but then so's lamb, or there's liver an' bacon "
The ride to Stanfield next day was a long affair, at a foot's-pace all the way: the horses were thoroughly tired with their journey, and they were obliged to start soon after three o'clock in the morning after a very insufficient rest; they did not reach Groombridge till nearly ten o'clock, when they dined, and then rode on towards Tonbridge about noon.
Isabel said she thought she saw a rider pass across this little opening at the end, framed in leaves; but there were stags everywhere in the woods here, and it would have been easy to mistake one for the other at that distance, and with such a momentary glance. Once again, nearer Tonbridge, they had a fright.
I'll do all I can for Delia both for your sake and Bob's I'll keep my best eye on the Fury I feel myself of course most abominably responsible for her and I hope for the best. Who's coming to your tea-party?" Winnington enumerated. At the name of Susy Amberley, his hostess threw him a sudden look, but said nothing. "The Andrews' Captain, Mrs. and Miss ," Lady Tonbridge exclaimed.
