The horses need training, you see, and we reckoned the trained ones had all died out. 'Horses? repeated Doctor Unonius. 'Then that accounts for the noise I heard 'Eh? queried Mr Rattenbury sharply. 'A sound of galloping, as it were. I opened the window to look, but could see nothing. Mrs Tresize caught her breath. 'Yes, yes, she put in, 'Doctor Unonius opened the window.
"If you halve this, you'll be dormy, Captain Trevanion," said George Tresize, who seemed very anxious for him to win. The Captain did not reply. Evidently he was in no mood for talk; as for the rest of the crowd, a deadly silence rested on it. Like nearly all the holes on the Leiant Links, the seventeenth is blind, although it is just possible to see the top of the flag.
Tom Poldhu, Dick and George Tresize, Harry Lorrimer, and the others were among the best products of English public schools, and although they had their failings, each had his code of honour which is generally held sacred by the class to which he belonged. All of them, too, had been reared in a military atmosphere.
"I like a game when I play," said the Captain who joined heartily in the laugh at Bob's expense. "I'll try to give you a game," was Bob's reply. "Good old Bob," cried Dick Tresize, "and the loser shall stand tea at the Club House for the whole bally lot of us. And it must be a good tea too. We'll have a dish of cream and all sorts of cakes.
The shadow of war had closed the Stock Exchange, and paralysed business, but the declaration of war moved the nation to its very depths. Bob Nancarrow was at Penwennack when the call came to the young men of England to rise and help their country in her need. Several young people had met there for a tennis party, and Bob was among them. "I'm going to send in my name," cried George Tresize.
Bob exclaimed, as presently the car drew up in front of the door of the great house, and a few seconds later he was talking eagerly with old Admiral Tresize, at the same time casting fervent glances towards Nancy. It was no wonder that Bob loved her, for no fairer or better girl lived in the land of Tre, Pol, and Pen.
'There has been a run, and an infernally daring one, said Mr Rattenbury; 'in Lealand Cove, not half an hour ago. And the deuce of it is we had warning of it all along. 'Warning? echoed Mrs Tresize, with a touch of anxiety in her voice. 'Yes, ma'am.
And so I did, imitating the porter's manner even before Dame Tresize, the housekeeper. But it rankled that, even while instructing me as he did on the eve of his departing in the part I was to play at Clowance, my Master had chosen to shut me out of this part of his confidence. And now on the road home from Clowance I carried an anxious heart as well as a sore.
'That's a pity, too: for Landeweddy Farm's her own freehold, an' I've heard her say more'n once how sorry she feels for you, livin' alone as you do. I don't everyways like Missus Tresize, but she's a bowerly woman an' nimble for her age which can't be forty, not by a year or two. Old Tresize married her for her looks.
"It looks as though the match will be over before then," he replied confidently. "I'll bet you a box of chocolates that we shall finish at the fourteenth." "Done!" cried the girl, and there was a flash of anger in her eyes. "Of course Bob'll have to play short here," grumbled Dick Tresize. "He ought to have insisted on Trevanion giving him strokes.
