'Tamar, they are galloping down the road, I think what can it mean? exclaimed the young lady, scared she could not tell why; and old Tamar stood up, and shaded her eyes with her shrunken hand. Tom Wealdon pulled up at the little wicket. He was pale. He had lost his hat, too, among the thickets, and could not take time to recover it. Altogether he looked wild.
He did not show much; his official station precluded prominence. He kept in the background, and did his spiriting gently. But Tom Wealdon, it was known as things are known without evidence was at the bottom of all the clever dodges, and long-headed manoeuvres. When, therefore, Mr. Larkin heard from the portly and veracious Mr.
'Wealdon and I have jotted down a few names here, said Lake, sliding a list of names before me; 'you know some of them, I think rather a strong committee; don't you think so? Those fellows with the red cross before have promised. 'Yes; it's very strong capital! I said, crunching my toast. 'Is it thought the writs will follow the dissolution unusually quickly?
He unlocked the iron safe, and took out the sheaf of Wylder's letters, and conned the last one over very carefully. 'Why, said he, holding the text before his eyes in one hand and with the fingers of the other touching the top of his bald forehead, 'Tom Wealdon is not once mentioned in this, nor in any of them; and this palpably refers to some direction. And 150l.? no such sum has been mentioned.
Wealdon has been with you so often; but you tell me nothing, Stanley. 'Not, darling, till I know it myself. This plan, for instance, until you spoke this moment, was but a question, and one which I could not submit until I had seen Wealdon, and heard how matters stood, and what chances of success I should really have. So, darling, you have it all; and I am so glad you advise me to go on.
Tom Wealdon looking odd, too, was close at his elbow, and had his hand on Lake's arm, like a man who would prevent violence. I do not know in the least what had passed before, but Lake said 'How the devil did he come in? 'Hush!'was all that Tom Wealdon said, looking at the gaunt spectre with less of fear than inquisitiveness.
Don't move me; and, in a minute more 'Don't mind that d d brute; she's killed. Let her lie. It appeared very odd, but so it was, he appeared eager upon this point, and, faint as he was, almost savage. 'Tell them to let her lie there. Wealdon and I, however, scrambled down the bank. He was right. The mare lay stone dead, on her side, at the bottom.
Wylder might return any day, and Tom Wealdon would probably be one of the first men whom he would see. He must 'hang out the signal' in 'Galignani. Lake could never suspect its meaning, even were he to see it.
We were not far from Redman's Farm, and it was agreed, on hasty consultation, that our best course would be to carry Lake thither at once by the footpath, and that one of us Wealdon undertook this should drive the carriage on, and apprising Rachel on the way of the accident which had happened, and that her brother was on his way thither, should drive on to Buddle's house, sending assistance to us from the town.
A bold, frank, good-humoured fellow he played at elections as he would at cricket. Every faculty of eye, hand, and thought his whole heart and soul in the game. But no ill-will no malevolence in victory no sourness in defeat. A successful coup made Tom Wealdon split with laughing. A ridiculous failure amused him nearly as much.
