In due time she went home to England home, but not to Aberalva. She presented herself one day at Mark Armsworth's house in Whitbury, and begged him to obtain her a place as servant to old Dr. Thurnall. And by the help of Mark, and Mary, Grace Harvey took up her abode in the old man's house; and ere a month was past she was to him a daughter.
She has Valencia all to herself; and Elsley, in spite of the dark fancies over which he has been brooding, is better behaved, on the whole, than usual. He has escaped so he considers escaped from Campbell, above all from Thurnall. From himself, indeed, he has not escaped; but the company of self is, on the whole, more pleasant to him than otherwise just now.
And a soldier's sister?" said Valencia, with a toss of her beautiful head, by way of giving force to her somewhat weak logic. Frank left the room instantly, and met Thurnall in the passage. "Well, Headley, it's here before we sent for it, as bad luck usually is." "I know. Let me go! Where is it? Whose house?" asked Frank in an excited tone.
"Do you know where Mr. Briggs is now?" "And why the devil do you want to know? For that's a verse, sir, although somewhat slow." The two men laughed in spite of themselves. "Better tell the fellow the plain truth," said Campbell to Thurnall. "Come out with us, and I will tell you." And Campbell threw down the money, and led him off, after he had gulped down his own brandy, and half Tom's beside.
"You put your crocodile foot in here, and I'll hit the hot water over the both of you!" and she caught up the pan of soapsuds. "My dear soul! I am a doctor belonging to the hospital which your husband goes to; and have known him since he was a boy, down in Berkshire." "You?" and she looked keenly at him. "My name is Thurnall. I was a medical man once in Whitbury, where your husband was born."
"How I should like to make a third!" "My dear Queen Whims would hear a good deal of sober sense, then; at least on one side: but I shall not ask her: for Mr. Thurnall and I have our deep secrets together."
His first impulse was to order a carriage, and return whence he came; but it would look so odd, and, moreover, be so foolish, that he made up his mind to stay and face the worst. So he swallowed a hasty dinner, and then wandered up the narrow valley, with all his suspicions of Thurnall and Marie seething more fiercely than ever in his heart.
I have written off for help to the Board of Health, and I shall not be shoved against the ropes till the Government man comes down." "And then?" "I shall go to bed and sleep for a month. Never mind me; but mind yourself: and mind that curate; he's a noble brick; if all parsons in England were like him, I'd What's here now?" Miss Heale came shrieking down the street. "Oh, Mr. Thurnall!
To do him justice, he was in one thing a true nobleman, for he was above all pride; as are most men of rank, who know what their own rank means. It is only the upstart, unaccustomed to his new eminence, who stands on his dignity, and "asserts his power." So Scoutbush begged humbly of Thurnall only to tell him what he could do. "You might use your moral influence, my lord."
"Stop! Hillo! Stop thief! He's got my pistol!" and away goes Thurnall in chase after the Bursch, who, never looking behind, never sees that he is followed: while Stangrave and the second Bursch look on with wide eyes. Now the Bursch is a "gymnast," and a capital runner; and so is Tom likewise; and brilliant is the race upon the Falkenhohe.
