Giles, because that gentleman, albeit an able speaker, and a man of much greater intellect than most of his customers, was suspected of paying low wages to his employés, though, according to the captain, it was impossible that he should pay them as little as their skill deserved. "I don't think I ever saw Mr. Medland," said Alicia, who had come out from England only a few months before.
I know a good deal about you. There are many men would be glad to know, definitely, what I know." "Then ask them for an Inspectorship." Benham drew a step nearer. "Ay, and I can hit you nearer home." "You might have, once. What can you do now? She's safe from you," answered Medland, with a frown. "Yes, she's safe, but there's the daughter." "Daisy!" "Yes, Daisy."
"No, no; Lady Eynesford's one of us, and there's an end of it though of course I wouldn't say it openly. Look at the different way she treats the Puttocks since they left you!" "It's highly improper," observed Coxon. "I grant it; but she's fond of Perry, and sees through his glasses. And then you must allow for her natural prejudices. Is Medland the sort of man who would suit her? Candidly now?"
They were agog with excitement, partly about the meeting, partly about the murder. While Eleanor was trying to tell her of the state of popular feeling, the Governor seized her arm and began to detail the story of the discovery. "You remember the man?" he asked. "He was at our flower-show had a sort of row with Medland, you know. The woman who keeps the house found him.
Medland realised the foolishness of his indiscretion and want of temper; Benham was afraid that he might have set inquiring minds on the track of game which he wished to hunt down for himself; Kilshaw was annoyed at having been forced into such an open display of his relations with and his influence over Benham. Even to himself, his dealings with the man were a delicate subject.
"Yes," said Lord Eynesford; but at the same moment a loud cheer rang out from the defenders of the gaol "Three cheers for Jimmy Medland!" they cried. The Governor turned and saw the ex-Premier leaping from a cab and hurrying towards them. "Stop!" cried Medland. "Stop!"
I saw him with both Medland and Norburn on Saturday." "I don't suppose they were planning to murder this Benham. Indeed, I don't see that the thing can have been political at all. What did it matter whether Benham lived or died?" "I don't see that it did, except to Benham," assented the Captain. "But what's become of Gaspard?" "Ah, that they don't know.
She saw the meeting, and presently she noticed the Governor ride on with Daisy Medland, while Alicia walked her horse and kept pace with the Premier. They passed by her on the other side of the broad avenue, Medland acknowledging her salutation but not crossing to speak to her. She saw Alicia's heightened colour and the eager interest with which she bent down to catch Medland's words.
"Say there's no danger," and the column trotted on. "This is what Mr. Medland has brought us to," observed Lady Eynesford, when Mr. Flemyng made his report. "I'm glad we've done with him, anyhow, aren't you, Eleanor?" "Perhaps we haven't," suggested Eleanor. "I wonder if he's come back." "No doubt he's encouraging this riot. I only hope he'll get the treatment he deserves."
"We're safe anyhow till the Assembly meets, ten days hence." "All right. I'll give you till then. And really, Jimmy Medland, little reason as I have to love you, I should advise you not to be a fool. Here's my address. You can write." "I shan't write. I may send or come." Benham laughed. "He's got some wits about him, after all! Good-night. Mind giving me a fair start?
