Mr
.
Featherstone
’
s
face
required
its
whole
scale
of
grimaces
as
a
muscular
outlet
to
his
silent
triumph
in
the
soundness
of
his
faculties
.
Fred
felt
himself
to
be
in
a
disgusting
dilemma
.
"
You
must
be
joking
,
sir
.
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
like
other
men
,
believes
scores
of
things
that
are
not
true
,
and
he
has
a
prejudice
against
me
.
I
could
easily
get
him
to
write
that
he
knew
no
facts
in
proof
of
the
report
you
speak
of
,
though
it
might
lead
to
unpleasantness
.
But
I
could
hardly
ask
him
to
write
down
what
he
believes
or
does
not
believe
about
me
.
"
Fred
paused
an
instant
,
and
then
added
,
in
politic
appeal
to
his
uncle
’
s
vanity
,
"
That
is
hardly
a
thing
for
a
gentleman
to
ask
.
"
But
he
was
disappointed
in
the
result
.
"
Ay
,
I
know
what
you
mean
.
You
’
d
sooner
offend
me
than
Bulstrode
.
And
what
’
s
he
?
—
he
’
s
got
no
land
hereabout
that
ever
I
heard
tell
of
.
A
speckilating
fellow
!
He
may
come
down
any
day
,
when
the
devil
leaves
off
backing
him
.
And
that
’
s
what
his
religion
means
:
he
wants
God
A
’
mighty
to
come
in
.
That
’
s
nonsense
!
There
’
s
one
thing
I
made
out
pretty
clear
when
I
used
to
go
to
church
—
and
it
’
s
this
:
God
A
’
mighty
sticks
to
the
land
.
He
promises
land
,
and
He
gives
land
,
and
He
makes
chaps
rich
with
corn
and
cattle
.
But
you
take
the
other
side
.
You
like
Bulstrode
and
speckilation
better
than
Featherstone
and
land
.
"
"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
sir
,
"
said
Fred
,
rising
,
standing
with
his
back
to
the
fire
and
beating
his
boot
with
his
whip
.
"
I
like
neither
Bulstrode
nor
speculation
.
"
He
spoke
rather
sulkily
,
feeling
himself
stalemated
.
"
Well
,
well
,
you
can
do
without
me
,
that
’
s
pretty
clear
,
"
said
old
Featherstone
,
secretly
disliking
the
possibility
that
Fred
would
show
himself
at
all
independent
.
"
You
neither
want
a
bit
of
land
to
make
a
squire
of
you
instead
of
a
starving
parson
,
nor
a
lift
of
a
hundred
pound
by
the
way
.
It
’
s
all
one
to
me
.
I
can
make
five
codicils
if
I
like
,
and
I
shall
keep
my
bank
-
notes
for
a
nest
-
egg
.
It
’
s
all
one
to
me
.
"
Fred
colored
again
.
Featherstone
had
rarely
given
him
presents
of
money
,
and
at
this
moment
it
seemed
almost
harder
to
part
with
the
immediate
prospect
of
bank
-
notes
than
with
the
more
distant
prospect
of
the
land
.
"
I
am
not
ungrateful
,
sir
.
I
never
meant
to
show
disregard
for
any
kind
intentions
you
might
have
towards
me
.
On
the
contrary
.
"
"
Very
good
.
Then
prove
it
.
You
bring
me
a
letter
from
Bulstrode
saying
he
doesn
’
t
believe
you
’
ve
been
cracking
and
promising
to
pay
your
debts
out
o
’
my
land
,
and
then
,
if
there
’
s
any
scrape
you
’
ve
got
into
,
we
’
ll
see
if
I
can
’
t
back
you
a
bit
.
Come
now
!
That
’
s
a
bargain
.
Here
,
give
me
your
arm
.
I
’
ll
try
and
walk
round
the
room
.
