But there is news to-night that one of the Widrington gang has turned informer, and the police say they will have their hands on them all within the next two or three days." Marcella withdrew herself from him and fell back into the corner of the sofa. Shading her eyes with her hand she tried to be very composed and business-like. "Was Hurd himself examined?" "Yes, under the new Act.
They had two more runs, but nothing like that first gallop. Nor did she again see the young man, whose name it seemed was Summerhay, son of a certain Lady Summerhay at Widrington, ten miles from Mildenham. All that long, silent jog home with Winton in fading daylight, she felt very happy saturated with air and elation.
The rain-clouds trailed across the common; water dripped heavily from the thatch of the cottage; and a few birds twittered from some bedraggled larches at the edge of the common. Far away, beyond and beneath those woods to the right, Widrington lay on the plain, with that high-walled stone building at its edge.
Gyp thought: 'I mustn't let him get off or I shall be late for dinner, and she said: "Oh, Pettance, who bought the young brown horse?" "Mr. Bryn Summer'ay, ma'am, over at Widrington, for an 'unter, and 'ack in town, miss." "Summerhay? Ah!"
"You shall know it," said Sir Thomas Widrington, "by your sentence." When the sentence was read, he attempted to speak, but was silenced. "I pray God," said Nayler, "that he may not lay this to your charge."
Was that your mother on the platform?" "Yes and my sister Edith. Extraordinary dead-alive place, Widrington; I expect Mildenham isn't much better?" "It's very quiet, but I like it." "By the way, I don't know your name now?" "Fiorsen." "Oh, yes! The violinist. Life's a bit of a gamble, isn't it?"
The heads of the opposite columns repeatedly charged each other; but the desperate courage of the Cavaliers was foiled by the steadiness and discipline of their opponents; the Lord Widrington, Sir Thomas Tildesly, Colonel Throckmorton, Boynton, Trollop, and about sixty of their followers were slain, and above three hundred privates made prisoners.
The wife sprang up with a cry and ran into the kitchen, where Hurd was already on his feet between Jenkins and another policeman, who were to convey him to the gaol at Widrington. But when she came face to face with her husband something perhaps the nervous appeal in his strained eyes checked her, and she controlled herself piteously. She did not even attempt to kiss him.
It occurred to him, however, that he would catch an earlier train to Widrington than the one he had fixed on, and have half an hour's talk with a solicitor who was a good friend of his before going on to Birmingham.
He had followed the whole case before the magistrates with the most scrupulous care. And since then, he had twice run across the Widrington solicitor for the defence, who was now instructing Wharton. This man, although a strong Radical, and employed generally by his own side, saw no objection at all to letting Lord Maxwell's heir and representative understand how in his opinion the case was going.
