'However, they opened the church-hatch, entered the churchyard, and looking up at the tower, there they seed a little small white face at the belfry-winder, and a little small hand waving. 'Twas the bride. "God my life, clerk," says Mr. Toogood, "I don't know how to face 'em!" And he sank down upon a tombstone. "How I wish I hadn't been so cussed particular!"
With a deep sigh of content, Mistress Lambert fell on her knees and thence upon the floor. The old heart which had contained so much love and so much hatred, such stern self-sacrifice and such deadly revenge, had ceased to beat, now the worker's work was done. Master Courage Toogood had long ago given up all thought of waiting for the mistress.
"My name is Dan Stringer, and I'm Mr John Stringer's cousin. I've lived with Mr John Stringer for twelve year and more, and I'm a'most as well known in Barchester as himself. Have you anything to say to me, sir?" "Well, yes; I have," said Toogood. "I believe you're the one of them attorneys from London?" said Mr Dan Stringer. "That's true. I am an attorney from London."
All this would have angered the major, had he not seen that it was assumed to cover something below of which Mr Toogood was a little ashamed, but of which, as the major thought, Mr Toogood had no cause to be ashamed.
"It's a great pity, Mr Walker," said Toogood, going back to the old subject, "that the dean and his wife should be away." "I understand that they will both be home before the trial," said Mr Walker. "Yes, but you know how very important it is to learn beforehand exactly what your witnesses can prove and what they can't prove.
"Has she anything to do with it, Mr Toogood?" "I can't quite say that she has, but it's just possible. As I said before, Mr Harding, we mustn't leave a stone unturned. They're not expected here till the end of April?" "About the 25th or 26th, I think." "And the assizes are the 28th. The judges come into the city on that day. It will be too late too wait till then.
"I understand nearly all about it," said Mr Toogood, following the red-nosed clerk. There was no necessity that he should trouble the landlord any further. He left the room, and went through the bar, and as he passed out along the hall, he found Dan Stringer with his hat on talking to the waiter.
"Which he won't," said Toogood, who thought it expedient to put on a bolder front in talking of the matter to the rural dean, than he had assumed in his whispered conversation with Mrs Walker. "I hope not, with all my heart," said the doctor. "But, perhaps, for the sake of the argument, the supposition may be allowed to pass." "Certainly, sir," said Mr Toogood.
"He is a rum 'un," said Mr Toogood, as they got into the carriage together; "but they say he's a very good 'un to go." After their departure Jane was sent for, that she might hear the family news; and when she expressed some feeling not altogether in favour of Mr Toogood, Mr Crawley thus strove to correct her views.
"I don't think we shall get the Bill!" she said, sombrely. "We shall be tricked again." "Dear, dear!" said Miss Toogood, helplessly. "Then we shall have to go on. It's war. We can't stop."
