Howbeit, Herdegen had by good hap escaped a sharp fray; and when Ann and I, kneeling side by side in Saint Laurence's church, had offered up a thanksgiving from the bottom of our hearts, meseemed we were as some Captain who sings Te Deum after a victory.
Darrant in?" to hear without sign of any kind the answer: "He's not up yet, sir." "Never mind; I'll go in and see him. Mr. Keith Darrant." On his way to Laurence's bedroom, in the midst of utter relief, he had the self-possession to think: 'This arrest is the best thing that could have happened. It'll keep their noses on a wrong scent till Larry's got away.
I was to tell you that he had left you the house to yourself." "Gone on a journey? But he will return before night?" said Bessie. "No, miss. We are to expect him this day week, when Mr. Laurence's children have gone back to Norminster," explained the old servant in a lower voice. Bessie comprehended the whole case instantly.
