Turl, and while those two were discussing the qualities of the cigars, Larcher had an opportunity of asking Florence, quietly: "Who is your visitor? Have you known him long?" "Only three or four days. He is a new guest in the house. Father met him in the public drawing-room, and has taken a liking to him." "He seems likeable. I was wondering where I'd heard the name. It's not a common name."
If you want to settle that difference once and for ever, inside of a minute, here's your chance. It's just cases like this that the dice are good for. There's a saloon over on that corner. Will you come?" "All right," said Turl. And the three strode diagonally across Sixth Avenue. "Gimme a box of dice," said Bagley to the man behind the bar, when they had entered the brightly lighted place.
It was probable you would have opposed his going to the bishop; though, if he in any manner interfered, to go was an act of duty. The reasonings of Turl in part allayed the fever of my mind, but by no means persuaded me to desist from the design of inflicting exemplary disgrace on the earl and the prelate.
But she drew back, saying quickly: "And yet you are not he." "You are right," said Turl. "And it isn't as he that I would appear. I am Francis Turl " "And Francis Turl is almost a stranger to me," she answered. "Oh, I see now! Murray Davenport is indeed lost more lost than ever. Your design has been all too successful." "It was his design, remember," pleaded Turl.
There is an undescribable pleasure, when we are persecuted by one set of human beings, to receive marks of affection from another. It is a strong consolation to know that kindness and justice have not wholly forsaken the earth. Wilmot, Clarke, and Turl were with me.
They may 'a' been friends, or they may 'a' been foes. He may be in Davenport's confidence at the present moment; or he may 'a' had a hand in gettin' rid o' Davenport. Or then again, whatever was between 'em mayn't 'a' had anything to do with the disappearance; an' Turl mayn't want to own up to knowin' Davenport, for fear o' bein' connected with the disappearance.
Kenby was for not only throwing his attention entirely around the newcomer, but for snubbing Larcher utterly forthwith; seeing which, Florence took upon herself the office of introducing the two young men. Mr. Turl, in resting his eyes on Larcher, showed no consciousness of having encountered him before. They were blue eyes, clear and soft, and with something kind and well-wishing in their look.
Larcher gave his own conjectures, or those of Mr. Bud without credit to that gentleman, however. As a last possibility, he suggested that Turl might still be in Davenport's confidence. "For all we know," said Larcher, "it may be their plan for Davenport to communicate with us through Turl. Or he may have undertaken to keep Davenport informed about our welfare.
Turl could call at half-past eight, and had promptly received the desired answer. In spite of Larcher's best efforts, a silence fell, which nobody was able to break as the moment arrived, and so it lasted till steps were heard in the hall, followed by a gentle rap on the door. Florence quickly rose and opened. Turl entered, with his customary subdued smile.
It may well be supposed I communicated all my thoughts to friends like Evelyn, Wilmot, and Turl; and endeavoured to profit by their advice. Law had lately undergone a serious examination from us all; and it was then the general opinion among us that, though it was impossible to avoid appealing to it on some occasions, yet nothing but the most urgent cases could justify such appeals.
