If the money were demanded at the scales it would mean delay, and delay meant that Woodford would win. So this was Twiggs's part in the ugly work. No wonder he ran his horse. Trust a woman for jamming through the devil's business. Nothing but the good fibre of this honourable man had saved us. But Westfall! He was lighter stuff. How about Westfall?
Fellowes intimated his intention of going himself to Walwyn with the news of Miss Darpent's arrival, and Naomi accepted the invitation to remain at Portchester till she could be sent for from home. It was not till the next morning that Anne Woodford could be alone with her uncle.
It was plain that the hunchback having failed to drink Peppers maudlin, was now deliberately provoking a fight. The bloated face of the Parson grew purple. "Woodford!" he roared. "I said," repeated Ump slowly, "to Mister Ward. An' his enemies, may the devil fly away with 'em." Peppers hurled down his pitcher, and it broke into a thousand pieces on the oak floor.

Had Patsy turned traitor to Cynthia?
It was the contract, and he had the right to do it, but it was like Woodford. Ward, helpless in his bed, had sent Jourdan on Red Mike to find us somewhere over the Gauley and bid us bring up the cattle if we could. And so the old man had ridden as though the devil were after him. The proportions of Woodford's plan outlined slowly, and with it came a sense of tremendous responsibility.
