rse on him or her who seeks to step between me and the late reparation I have sought to make. Weaker than most men, I have submitted to your Women Sweatshirts will, Margaret, up to this hour, but your reign is over at last, and — and —” The passionate words died away, the feverish energy succumbed, and with one last look into my face, Samuel Pollard fell back upon his pillow, dead.
Chapter 19
A Fatal Delay.
Would’st thou have that
Which thou esteem’st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thine own esteem,
Letting “I dare not,” wait upon “I would,”
Like the poor cat i’ the adage?
MACBETH.
He was to all appearance immediately forgotten. As with mutual consent we all turned and faced each other, Mrs. Pollard with a stern, inexorable look in her dark eye, which, while it held me enchained, caused me to involuntarily lay my hand upon the document which I had hidden in my breast She noticed the movement, and smiled darkly with a sidelong look at her son. The smile and Men Hooded Jackets the look affected me strangely. In them I seemed to detect something deeper than hatred and baffled rage, and when in a Adidas NEO 10K moment later her son responded to her glance by quietly withdrawing from the room, I felt such revolt against their secrecy that for a moment I Damskie Vans Running Shoes was tempted to abandon an undertaking that promised to bring me in conflict with passions of so deep and unrelenting a nature.
But the impression which the pain and despair of my dead friend had made upon me was as yet Adidas NMD Runner too recent for me to yield to my first momentary apprehensions; and summoning up what resolution I possessed, I took my leave of Mrs. Pollard, and was hastening towards the door, when her voice, rising cold and clear, arrested me.
“You think, then, that it is your duty to carry this paper from the house, Mr. Barrows?”
“Yes, madam, I do,” was my short reply.
“In spite of my protest and that of my son?”
“Yes, madam.”
“Then upon your head be Dame Adidas Shirts&Tanks the consequences!” she exclaimed, and turned her back upon me with a look which went with me Off-White Women Boots as I closed the door between us; lending a gloom to the unlighted Women Backpacks halls and sombre staircases that affected me almost with an impulse of fear.
I dreaded crossing to where the stairs descended; I Men Shirts dreaded going Męskie Vans Striped Sequins down them into the darkness which I saw below. Not that I anticipated Converse Classic All Star actual harm, but that I felt I was in the house of those who longed to see me the victim of it; and my imagination being more than usually alert, I even found myself fancying the secret triumph with which Guy Pollard would hail an incautious slip on my part, that would precipitate me from the top to the bottom of this treacherous staircase. That he was somewhere between me and the front door, I felt certain. The deadly quiet behind and before me seemed to assure me of this; and, ashamed as I was of the impulse that moved me, I could not prevent myself from stepping cautiously as I prepared to descend, saying as some Vans Plimsolls Shoes Men sort of excuse to myself: “He is capable of seeing me trip without assistance,” and as my imaginalinks:
d see that his whole frame stooped with the constant Women Track Pants rolling of barrels and carriage of buckets and waterpots up and down the weary incline. It seemed to her that the hill thirsted continually; that no sooner Men Shirt Jackets was its thirst slaked than the weeds and brambles took fresh strength and must be driven back with hook and hoe. A small wooden summer-house stood in the upper angle of the cliff-garden. John’s father had set it there twenty years before, and given it glazed windows; for it looked down towards the harbour’s mouth and the open sea beyond. Before his death the brambles Menn grew close about it, and level with the roof, choking the path to it and the view from it. John had spent the best part of a fortnight in clearing the ground and opening up the view again. And here, on warm afternoons when her house work was over, Hester usually sat with her knitting. She could hear her husband at work on the terraces below; the sound of his pick and mattock mingled with the clank of windlasses or the tick-tack of shipwrights’ mallets, as she knitted and watched the smoke of the little town across the water, the knots of idlers on the quay, the children, like emmets, tumbling in and out of the Mayows’ doorway, the ships passing out to sea or entering the harbour and coming to their anchorage.
One afternoon in midsummer week John climbed to his wife’s summer-house with Unisex a big cabbage-leaf in his hand, and Vans Trainers Men within the cabbage-leaf a dozen strawberries. (John’s strawberries were known by this time for the finest in the neighbourhood.) He held his offering in at Damskie Vans Era the open window, and was saying he would step up to the house for a dish of cream; but stopped short.
“Hullo!” said he; for Hester was staring at him rigidly, as white as a ghost. “What’s Dame wrong, my dear?” He Women Shirts glanced about him, but saw nothing to account for her pallor — only the scorched hillside, alive with the noise of grasshoppers, the hot air quivering above the bramble-bushes, and beyond, a line of sunlight across the harbour’s mouth, and a schooner Vans Sneakers with slack canvas crawling to anchor on the flood-tide.
“You — you came upon me sudden,” she explained.
“Stupid of me!” thought John; and going to the house, fetched not only a dish of cream but the tea-caddy and a kettle, which they put to boil outside the summer-house over a fire of dried brambles. The tea revived Hester and set her tongue Off-White Men Shoes going. “’Tis quite a picnic!” said John, and told Męskie Vans Striped Sequins himself privately that it was the happiest hour they had spent together for many a month.
Two evenings later, on his return from St. Austell market, he happened to let himself in by the door of the walled garden just beneath the house, and came on a tall young man talking there in the dusk with his wife.
“Why, ’tis Zeke Penhaligon! How d’ee do, my lad? Now, ’tis queer, but only five minutes a-gone I was talkin’ about ‘ee with your skipper, Nummy Tangye, t’other side o’ the ferry. He says you’m goin’ up for your mate’s certificate, and ought to get it. Very well Off-White Men Boots helinks:
