Tredegar folded his hands again, and crossed one lean little leg over the other, bringing into his line of vision the glossy tip of a patent-leather pump, which he studied for a moment in silence. "Does Mr. Truscomb know of your intention?" he then enquired. "No, sir," Amherst answered energetically, glad that he had forced the lawyer out of his passive tactics.
Langhope's stick slipped to the floor with the sudden displacement of his whole lounging person, and Mr. Tredegar, removing his tortoise-shell reading-glasses, put them hastily into their case, as though to declare for instant departure. "My dear Maria " Mr. Langhope gasped, while she rose and restored his stick.
He telephoned me that, as the visit was given up, he should ride out to his farm." "Oh, never mind or, at least, all the better!" his daughter urged. "We can see the mills just as well without him; and we shall get on so much more quickly." "Well well what do you say, Tredegar?" murmured Mr.
Tredegar undoubtedly grieved for Bessy; but his grief struck inward, exuding only now and then, through the fissures of his hard manner, in a touch of extra solemnity, the more laboured rounding of a period. Yet, on the whole, it was to his feeling that Justine felt her own to be most akin.
"I have come back to talk to you," she began, in her sweet voice with its occasional quick lift of appeal. "I knew that, in Mr. Truscomb's absence, it would be hard for you to leave the mills, and there are one or two things I want you to explain before I go away some of the things, for instance, that you spoke to Mr. Tredegar about last night." Amherst's feeling of constraint returned.
"I would rather talk of my wife's interest in the mills than of her interests there; but we'll keep to the plural if you prefer it. Personally, I believe the terms should be interchangeable in the conduct of such a business." "Ah I'm glad to hear that," said Mr. Tredegar quickly, "since it's precisely the view we all take." Amherst's colour rose. "Definitions are ambiguous," he said.
Could this be South Tredegar, the place that had hitherto figured chiefly to him as "court-day" town and the residence of his preacher uncle? It seemed hugely incredible. After the conference with the iron buyer they crossed the street to the railway station; and again Thomas Jefferson was foot-loose while his father was closeted with some one in the manager's office.
"He has been found at Corrientes. It will take him at least a month to get here." "A month good God!" "And it may take Mr. Langhope longer." Their eyes met. "It's too long ?" she asked. "I don't know I don't know." He shivered slightly, turning away into the window. Justine sat down to dash off messages to Mr. Tredegar and the Gaineses: Amherst's return must be made known at once.
When this bolt was finally hammered into shape he came out of the wood and out of the inventive trance, had an hour's interview with Major Dabney, and took a train for New York. I am not sure, but I think it was at Bristol, Tennessee, that the telegram from Norman, begging him to come back to South Tredegar at speed, overtook him. This is a detail, important only as a marker of time.
