Not all the majestic harmonies of the inspired Kapellmeister could drown that terrible discord. The next day it was worse. There was a goodly number of South Tredegar people summering at the Inn, and hence no lack of companionship.
Tredegar; but a moment later it became clear, even to his inexperienced perceptions, that it was not to himself that her challenge was directed. She advanced toward the seat he had moved forward, but in her absorption forgot to seat herself, and stood with her clasped hands resting on the back of the chair.
"To the conditions under which the mill-hands work and live to the whole management of the mills, in fact, in relation to the people employed." "That is a large question. Pardon my possible ignorance " Mr. Tredegar paused to make sure that his hearer took in the full irony of this "but surely in this state there are liability and inspection laws for the protection of the operatives?"
Tredegar, the family lawyer, who had deemed it his duty to accompany the widow on her visit of inspection, was strolling up and down the room with short pompous steps, a cigar between his lips, and his arms behind him. He cocked his sparrow-like head, scanned the offending apartment, and terminated his survey by resting his eyes on Mrs. Westmore's charming petulant face.
Tredegar spoke with the deliberate mildness that was regarded as his most effective weapon at the bar, since it was likely to abash those who were too intelligent to be propitiated by it. "Certainly it is involved in hers," Amherst agreed; "but how far that defines it is just what I have waited till now to find out."
"I confess it is to be regretted that his mother is a lady, and that he looks you must have noticed it? so amazingly like the portraits of the young Schiller. But I only meant that Bessy forms all her opinions emotionally; and that she must have been very strongly affected by the scene Mr. Tredegar described to us." "Ah," Mr.
Tredegar turned a probing glance on him as he ended. "Then, today even, you believe not only in the possibility of prolonging life, but of ultimate recovery?" Wyant hesitated. "I won't call it recovery today. Say life indefinitely prolonged." "And the paralysis?" "It might disappear after a few months or a few years." "Such an outcome would be unusual?" "Exceptional. But then there are exceptions.
What do they mean?" she asked in a startled voice. "There was an accident here two days ago: a man got caught in the card behind him, and his right hand was badly crushed." Mr. Tredegar intervened with his dry note of command. "How serious is the accident? How did it happen?" he enquired. "Through the man's own carelessness ask the manager," the overseer interposed before Amherst could answer.
Notwithstanding, when the day of revelations was come to an end, and the ambling horse was inching the ancient buggy up the homeward road, the boy found himself turning his back on the wonderful new world with something of the same blessed sense of relief as that which he had experienced in former home-goings from South Tredegar, the commonplace.
Tredegar, to whom the management of Bessy's affairs had been transferred. Mr. Tredegar, to his client's surprise, answered the appeal in person. He had not been lately to Lynbrook, dreading the cold and damp of the country in winter; and his sudden arrival had therefore an ominous significance.
