'What do you think of all this, Radie this particular version, I mean, of marriage, a-la-mode, they are preparing up there? and he made a little dip of his cane towards Brandon Hall, over his shoulder. 'I really don't think Wylder cares twopence about her, or she about him, and Stanley Lake laughed gently and sleepily. 'I don't think they pretend to like one another. It is quite understood.
So the attorney had no notion of allowing this highly satisfactory arithmetic to be thrown into confusion by the fillip of a small gloved finger. On the whole he was not altogether sorry for the delay. Everything worked together he knew. One or two covenants and modifications in the articles had struck him as desirable, on reading the instrument over with William Wylder.
The thing in fact, there has been some gossiping fellow. Do you happen to know a person at all versed in Gylingden matters or, perhaps, a member of your club named Smith? 'Smith? I don't, I think, recollect any particular Smith, just at this moment. And what is Smith doing or saying? 'Why, he has been talking over election matters. It seems Wylder Mr.
'Hanged if I know! what the devil's that to you or me, Sir? answered the captain, with a peevish sullenness. 'I was thinking, Captain Lake, whether in the event of its turning out that Mr. Mark Wylder was dead, it would be thought proper to lay his body here? 'Dead, Sir! and what the plague puts that in your head? You are corresponding with him aren't you?
One advantage which the good attorney derived from his double account with the rival institutions was, that whenever convenient he could throw one of these certificates of destitution and impotence sadly under the eyes of a client in want of money like poor Will Wylder. The attorney had no pleasure in doing people ill turns.
Jim Dutton had not turned up since, and his letter was one of those mares' nests of which gentlemen in Mr. Larkin's line of business have so large an experience. Of Mark Wylder not a trace was discoverable. His enquiries on this point were, of course, conducted with caution and remoteness.
You could not mean what you seemed to say; and I can't understand how a sensible man like you, knowing Mark Wylder, and knowing me, Sir, could use such such ambiguous language. I have no more influence with him, and can no more affect his doings, or what you call his fate and, to say the truth, care about them no more than the child unborn. He's his own master, of course.
'No; it is not pretty, repeated the old lady; and, indeed, in no sense was it. Before luncheon Captain Lake arrived. 'So Wylder has run up to town, I said, so soon as we had shaken hands in the hall. 'Yes; I drove him to Dollington last night; we just caught the up train. 'He says he'll be back again on Saturday, I said. 'Saturday, is it? He seemed to think yes it would be only a day or so.
Wylder plainly wrote in great haste, and merely said: 'I shall have to wait a day or two longer than I yesterday thought, to meet a fellow from whom I am to receive something of importance, rather, as I think, to me. Get the deeds ready, as I said in my last. If I am not in Gylingden by Monday, we must put off the wedding for a week later there is no help for it. You need not talk of this.
But there were Larcom's conclusions about the mad-house to throw into the balance. And though, as respected Mark Wylder, they were grisly, the attorney would not have been sorry to be quite sure that they were sound. What he most needed were ascertained data. With these his opportunities were immense. Mr. Larkin eyed the Wylder correspondence now with a sort of reverence that was new to him.
