There is not a country gentleman on the grand jury who is not your superior; and there is no extremity I will not make you feel and you know what I mean if you dare despise this first and not unfriendly warning. 'Yours truly, Now there certainly was need of Wylder's assurance that nothing unpleasant should happen to the conscious bearer of such a message to an officer and a gentleman. Jos.
'Whatever may be the cause of Mark Wylder's present line of conduct, it appears to me that if he really did attend that meeting at the "Miller's Hall," there cannot be anything very serious weighing upon his spirits. My business will detain me here, I rather think, three days longer. By return of post Lord Chelford wrote to Stanley Lake:
There was but one risk in it, which was in the coarse perfidy of Mark Welder himself, who would desire no better fun, in some of his moods, than boasting to Lake of the whole arrangement in Jos. Larkin's presence. However, on the whole, it was best to obey Mark Wylder's orders, and accordingly 'Galignani' said: 'Mr.
It was destined to illustrate the correspondence, and Larkin sat down before it and surveyed, with a solemn stare, the wide scene of Mark Wylder's operations, as a general would the theatre of his rival's strategy. Referring to the letters as he proceeded, with a sharp pen in red ink, he made his natty little note upon each town or capital in succession, from which Wylder had dated a despatch.
'Just so, said Captain Lake. 'Now, as to my thinking of representing either county or borough, he resumed, after a little pause, holding Mark Wylder's 'notice' between his finger and thumb, and glancing at it from time to time, as a speaker might at his notes, 'I am just as well qualified as he in every respect; and if it lies between him and me, I will undoubtedly offer myself, and accompany my address with the publication of this precious document which he calls his notice the composition, in all respects, of a ruffian and which will inspire every gentleman who reads it with disgust, abhorrence, and contempt.
He had been vehemently enamoured of the heiress of Brandon a year ago and more; but during an absence Mark Wylder's suit grew up and prospered, and Sir Harry Bracton acquiesced; and, to say truth, the matter troubled his manly breast but little. He had hardly expected to see her here in this rollicking, rustic gathering. She was, he thought, even more lovely than he remembered her.
And now 'title' went up to Burlington, Smith, and Co. to examine and approve; and from that firm, I am sorry to say, a bill of costs was coming, when deeds were prepared and all done, exceeding three hundred and fifty pounds; and there was a little reminder from good Jos. Larkin for two hundred and fifty pounds more. This, of course, was to await Mr. Wylder's perfect convenience.
There was a silence, during which pale Captain Lake locked up Mark Wylder's warning, and the attorney twice cleared his voice. 'I need hardly say, Captain Lake, how I feel in this business. 'Quite so, said the captain, in his soft low tones.
Her route lay, as by this time my reader is well aware, by that narrow defile reached from Redman's Farm by a pathway which scales a flight of rude steps, the same which Stanley Lake and his sister had mounted on the night of Mark Wylder's disappearance. Tamar knew the path very well.
Captain Lake, he was confident, knew James Dutton why, otherwise, should that person have desired his intelligence communicated to him. At least it proved that Dutton assumed the captain to be specially interested in what concerned Mark Wylder's fate; and in so far it confirmed his suspicions of Lake.
