Bowles, the Bodleian library-keeper, came, and I spent most of the time showing him some of the rarities here, to his great wonder and satisfaction." And on the 28th "Mr. Bowles came and saw more of the rarities here." Two more visits from Mr. Bowles are chronicled, when he saw "yet more of the curious books, papers, and parchments here"; and shortly after Wanley wrote, "many come and tarry long."
I hoped at one time to take an active part in life, and my interest in the world's progress is as strong as ever, especially in everything that concerns social reform. I have for some time known your name, and have constantly sought information about your grand work at New Wanley. 'I am possessed of means, and, as you see, can spend but little on myself.
You remember how I used to go and see the people in New Wanley? I shall never forget how happy the best of them were, those who worked their hardest all day and at night came home to rest with their families and friends. And you yourself, how contented you used to be when your time was thoroughly occupied! But I'm sure you feel the truth of this.
Westlake, whose interest in Adela had grown with each visit he paid to the Manor, himself suggested the plan. Mrs. Waltham and Adela left Wanley together; Mutimer promised visits as often as he could manage to get away. Since Rodman's departure Richard found himself overwhelmed with work. None the less he resolutely pursued the idea of canvassing Belwick at the coming general election.
As the word hasn't a feminine, call yourselves plain Letty Tew and Adela Waltham, without meaningless prefix. 'What nonsense you are talking, Alfred! remarked his mother. 'As if everybody in Wanley could address young ladies by their Christian names! In this way did Alfred begin the 'propaganda' at home.
Wanley was anxious for the Eldons to go their way, and leave the stage clear. Would he appear at church next morning? There was a general directing of eyes to the Manor pew. This pew had not been occupied since the fateful Sunday when, at the conclusion of the morning service, old Mr. Mutimer was discovered to have breathed his last.
Emma's heart was beating painfully. She knew now that Richard's sister had not come on an ordinary visit; she felt that the call to Wanley had had some special significance. Alice did not ordinarily behave in this hesitating way. 'Did did he send me a message? 'Yes. But even now Alice could not speak. She found a way of leading up to the catastrophe. 'Oh, mother has been going on so, Emma!
Alice implored her brother to come and 'do something. Richard, though a married man of only six weeks' standing, had troubles altogether in excess of his satisfactions. Things were not as they should have been in that earthly paradise called New Wanley.
Rendal, foolishly joking in his cups, had urged as extenuation of his own weakness the well-known fact that 'Arry Mutimer had been seen one evening unmistakably intoxicated in the street of Wanley village. Someone reported these words to Richard, and from that moment it was all over with the Rendals.
'I met her in the wood here a few weeks ago, he replied, mentioning the incident for the first time. 'She wanted to make a Socialist of me. 'Was that after the will came to light? 'The day after. She pleaded for New Wanley hoped I should keep it up. 'Then she has really accepted her husband's views? 'It seems so. I am afraid she thought me an obstinate tyrant. He spoke carelessly.
