And by this time there was no man, at least in our parish, but knew for the Parson himself had told us so that it was the devil groaning because the Doones were too many for him. Marwood de Whichehalse was not so alarmed but what he saw a fine opportunity. I hope he did not, because that to me would seem not the deed of a gentleman, and he was of good old family.
It was Squire Marwood de Whichehalse. I would sooner have seen her with Tom Faggus, as indeed I had expected, when I heard of Parson Bowden. And to me it seemed that she had no right to be dancing so with any other; and to this effect I contrived to whisper; but she only said, 'See to yourself, John. No, but let us both enjoy ourselves. You are not dancing with Lorna, John.
"Nonsense, man!" cried Marwood de Whichehalse, who to my amazement was the third of the number; "only a hind cutting faggots; and of course he hath gone home long ago. Blind man's holiday, as we call it. I can see all over the place; and there is not even a rabbit there." At that I drew my breath again, and thanked God I had gotten my coat on. Even his chopper is gone, I see."
However, I am too easy, there is no doubt of that, being very quick to forgive a man, and very slow to suspect, unless he hath once lied to me. So young Squire Marwood came again, as though I had never smitten him, and spoke of it in as light a way as if we were still at school together.
The story soon got around the campus, and Elliott found himself rather overwhelmed with sympathy, but he did not feel as if he were very much in need of it after all. It was good to have done the right thing and be able to look your conscience in the face. He was young and strong and could work his own way through Marwood in time. "No condolences, please," he said to Roger Brooks with a smile.
Therefore Peter proceeded with the service. He read the chapter and gave out the hymn with as much SANG FROID as if he had been doing it all his life. Mr. Marwood himself could not have bettered the way in which Peter said, "We will sing the whole hymn, omitting the fourth stanza." That was a fine touch which I had not thought of.
George Marwood was reluctant to express any opinion on the escape. 'The whole thing, he said, 'is naturally extremely distasteful to me. I can only hope that the unhappy man may be recaptured before he succumbs to exposure, and before he has the chance to commit any further acts of robbery and violence."
'Thou art welcome to the job for me, said Marwood, as they turned away, and kept along the hedge-row; 'I love to meet a man sword to sword; not to pop at him from a foxhole. What answer was made I could not hear, for by this time the stout ashen hedge was between us, and no other gap to be found in it, until at the very bottom, where the corner of the copse was.
To Felix, just then, life was flat, stale and unprofitable because it was his turn to go home with Sara Ray. "It makes me a little frightened to think of all that may happen in them," said Cecily. "Miss Marwood says it is what we put into a year, not what we get out of it, that counts at last." "I'm always glad to see a New Year," said the Story Girl. "I wish we could do as they do in Norway.
For it needs must happen that young Marwood de Whichehalse, only son of the Baron, riding home that very evening, from chasing of the Exmoor bustards, with his hounds and serving-men, should take the short cut through our farmyard, and being dry from his exercise, should come and ask for drink. And it needs must happen also that there should be none to give it to him but my sister Annie.
