CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE Mary Mascall vanished up the darkening stairs. She had to grope her way along the landing. A faint chink of light showed her the door of Jess’s room. She opened it softly, and spoke in a whisper. “John.” “Yes, Mother?” “Mr. Flemming wants to see you.” “What about?” “Navestock. Go down and speak to him. 1 ask you to do it, John. It’s only fair to him and to yourself.” The two men met in the dusk of the hall. Wolfe’s face looked gaunt and grey—a hungry face, yet fervent, and fanatical about the eyes. He gripped Robert Flemming’s hand hard. “She is asleep now. I can give you ten minutes. It is just touch and go, the weight of a feather in the scales." “I am going tc speak out frankly, Wolfe.” “The franker the better.” “To-day we elected you our Medical Officer. Threadgold has resigned. You have won your way. Don't sacrifice a fine opportunity." He saw Wolfe’s profile as they turned, gaunt and clear against a hard sky. “You think 1 am acting selfishly?” “I think that no man should put his private interests before the interests of his—his—you know what I mean. There is a good deal of feeling in the town. I came as a friend.” i Wolfe’s eyes looked into the grey , distance. His face was very stern. “For three months 1 have given , Navestock the very blood of my , bedy. They begrudge me three , days. I shall not leave Moor Farm , until we have either lost or won.” , “I think you are wrong.” , “tou are one of the few men, Mr. Flemming, to whom I would , •urrender, if it were possible.” , “Would this girl wish you to do this, if she were capab’s of judg- 1 ing’” Wolfe faced round almost ly“She has more courage and generosity than twenty Navestocks. It was she who kept me here. 1 should have kicked the dust off my boots last year if she had not backed me up. ‘Stay and fight,’ she said. I stayed. If Navestock ewes me anything, it owes it to her. All this here is a matter of nursing. I would trust no one but myself. They want me to give her a worse chance. They can go to perdition." It was dark still when Wolfe left ' Jess sleeping, slipped out of the ! room and made his way downstairs. In the recess under the stairs he found his overcoat and boots. He unfastened the porch door and ■melt the keen fresh smell of a winter morning. The night had been critical, and the day would be in sympathy with the night. Wolfe felt tired and heavy-headed, with a hot ache in the eyes and dull blood in the brain. Strength of will alone had kept him awake, with his whole body thirsting for sleep as a dry land thirsts for rain. • • • Mary Mascall put her work aside, and went quickly to the parlour window. The heads of two black horses had passed across the gap in the holly hedge where the garden gate opened. Mary Mascall could see the shining hat and the red face of the eoachman, and the slim figure of a young footman standing stiff and erect, and pressing the gate open. “Bless me. Mrs. Brandon!” Mary Mascall burned to the porch door. She opened it as Ursula Brandon was stretching out a baud te the bell-pull. “Good morning, Mra. Mascall. I i have come to ask after our lost i nurae.”

“I wanted to see you. so I asked Mrs. Mascall to send you down to me," said Ursula Brandon.

“She is much better, thank you.” "I am so glad to hear it” There was no apparent reason why these two women should feel uneasy under each other’s eyes, yet some vague feminine antipathy woke at the very meeting of their voices. The one was casual, calm, cold on the surface; the other, ruddy, warm-voiced, mellowly vivacious. The blue eyes of the farmer’s wife took on a queer surfacegleam of watchfulness. "You aie sure that she is out of danger? In away, I have felt myself responsible.” • “Dr. Wolfe is very much more hopeful.” “That is a good sign — to have one’s doctor convinced. Is Mr. Wolfe here, by any chance?” She maintained her level, casual calm under the full stare of Mary Mascall’s shrewd blue eyes. “I will send Dr. Wolfe to you.” “Thank you so much." When Wolfe came out to her she met him with the easy friendliness of a woman of the world. Mary Mascall had remained with Jess, and there was no questioning and mistrustful feminine spirit to be dealt with, merely a blundering thing called man whose methods were like trampled elephant tracks through the jungle. “1 am so glad to hear that she is out of danger." “There is still some danger." “Os course there must be. I wanted to see you, so 1 asked Mrs. Mascall to send you down to me. When are you going to remember that there is such a place as Navestock?” “I am giving myself two more days.” She smiled at him, and the smile puzzled Wolfe. It suggested so many subtle mental attitudes. Her whole presence hinted at clearer, broader skies. She was so much more mature, so much more complex, so much more casual. “Don’t you think that you could deny yourself these two days? I suggest it as a friend. I think the patience of the people in the valley is very nearly exhausted ” She gave a slight shrug of the shoulders. “Oh. you proud and sincere spirits! Don’t you know that one learns to humour tools and to triumph over them by smiling over their folly? Drive down with me now. My carnage can bong you back again." He stared beyond her for the moment, but his face remained ob-

stinate. “No, I stand by my promise to myself.” He accompanied her down the stone path to the gate, and saw her into her carriage. “Give my love to Jess." “1 will." “Try and relent towards the grumblers at the end of your two days. Good-bye.” Wolfe’s spirit of inexorable independence was to bear the brunt of a second and more strenuous attack in the course of the same day. The two carriages must have passed each other on the way, that of Mrs. Ursula Brandon going towards “Pardons," Josiah Crabbe's hired fly climbing up from Navestock As usual, Josiah Crabbe had all his news from Adam Grinch, and even the old cynic had been alarmed at the outcry Wolfe’s absence had aroused. The town had turned like an uncertain-tempered : dog. Infamous neglect of duty, an , audacious hardihood that went out ■ of its way to flaunt the public , opinion that had consented to be I taken by the nose! The gossip of i the river alleys said that Jess Mas- : call had never been in danger. John I Wolfe had just taken himself off 1 to show his masterful independence, and his contempt for public i opinion. • • • Mary Mascall had left them alone togelher in the parlour. "You wicked fool, to have let a 1 pair of soft arms get round your t neck. Man, you are spoiling every- ■ thing. We had them beaten, we had them cornered, and now you play j the womanish fool." His bright, dark eyes flashed at 2 olfe out of the yellow thinness i of his angry face. The energy of r his impatience burned at white heat ’. in his shrunken body. Affection and i scorn were curiously mingled. “Turrell has been back in the town a week. What, you hadn't t heard? They are working against I you. They have got old Raggery's e nephew down from London, a smart y young whipper-snapper, with a bagful of diplomas Partnership with e ThreadgHd pushed through on the sly.
