Failing herself raised the whip in a nonchalant way. Stephen Wonham was following on foot, some way behind. He put the Shelley back into his pocket and waited for them. When the carriage stopped by some hurdles he went down from the embankment and helped them to dismount. He felt rather nervous.
He looked guilty. "I don't know. Easy enough to find something to say. The point is that she said something. You know, Mr. I don't know your name, mine's Wonham, but I'm more grateful than I can put it over this tobacco. I mean, you ought to know there is another side to this quarrel. It's wrong, but it's there."
Failing noted the half official way in which she vouched for her lover. "But of course Rickie is a little complicated. I doubt whether Mr. Wonham would understand him. He wants doesn't he? some one who's a little more assertive and more accustomed to boys. Some one more like my brother." "Agnes!" she seized her by the arm. "Do you suppose that Mr. Pembroke would undertake my Podge?"
Your train, being late, came down on them. One of them was pulled off the line, but the other was caught. How will you get out of that?" "And how will you get out of it?" cried Mrs. Failing, turning the tables on him. "Where's the child now? What has happened to its soul? You must know, Agnes, that this young gentleman is a philosopher." "Oh, drop all that," said Mr. Wonham, suddenly collapsing.
The fresh air that has made Stephen Wonham fresh and companionable and strong. Even if it kills, I will let in the fresh air." Thus reasoned Mrs. Failing, in the facile vein of Ibsenism. She imagined herself to be a cold-eyed Scandinavian heroine. Really she was an English old lady, who did not mind giving other people a chill provided it was not infectious.
If the Wonham man is not satisfied now, he must be insatiable. He cannot levy blackmail on us for ever. Sir, I give you two minutes; then you will be expelled by force." "Two minutes!" sang Ansell. "I can say a great deal in that." He put one foot on a chair and held his arms over the quivering room. He seemed transfigured into a Hebrew prophet passionate for satire and the truth.
Ansell told him not to be uneasy: he lad already guessed that there might be another side. But he could not make out why Mr. Wonham should have come straight from the aunt to the nephew. They were now sitting on the upturned seat. "What We Want," a good deal shattered, lay between them. "On account of above-mentioned reasons, there was a row. I don't know you can guess the style of thing.
"The vicar of Cadford not the nice drunkard declares the name is really 'Chadford, and he worried on till I put up a window to St. Chad in our church. His Cambridge wife pronounces it 'Hyadford. I could smack them both. How do you like Podge? Ah! you jump; I meant you to. How do you like Podge Wonham?" "Very nice," said Agnes, laughing. "Nice! He is a hero."
But irony is a subtle teacher, and she was not the woman to learn from such lessons as these. Her suffering was more direct. Three men had wronged her; therefore she hated them, and, if she could, would do them harm. "These negotiations are quite useless," she told Herbert when she came downstairs. "We had much better bide our time. Tell me just about Stephen Wonham, though."
He could not retort that she never asked him. "Agnes will make you come. Oh, let me introduce Mr. Wonham Miss Pembroke." "I am deputy hostess," said Agnes. "May I give you some tea?" "Thank you, but I have had a little beer." "It is one of the shepherds," said Mrs. Failing, in low tones. Agnes smiled rather wildly. Mrs.
