He had five minutes to spare, and was urging her to walk with him a little way along the road that led to the nearest railway-station, when Miss Vane's attention was arrested by two little figures in the middle of the road. She stopped short, and pointed to them with her parasol. "Hubert," she cried, in a voice that was hoarse with dismay, "do you see that?"
Hilary Vane's lips trembled, and another expression came into his eyes. "Rode down to look at the scrap-heap, did he?" Austen strove to conceal his surprise at his father's words and change of manner. "Tredway saw him," he said. "I'm pretty sure Mr. Flint doesn't feel that way, Judge. He has taken your illness very much to heart, I know, and he left some fruit and flowers for you."
"No," said Hilary; "I can't see what difference it makes to you." The Honourable Adam had an eminently human side, and he laid his hand on Mr. Vane's knee. "I think I've got a notion as to where that money would come from, Hilary," he said. "I'm much obliged to you, my friend. I wouldn't take it even if I thought you'd sized up the situation right.

Chisholm would not have harped on the same idea unless he had intended to convey some particular meaning; but the man's methods roused Vane's dislike.
These were too old at the sport, and too cunning, to let the keepers get near them, and it is believed they made a very excellent living out of Sir Vane's game-preserves.

So far had Mr. Hilary Vane's talents carried him.
