Briarmains being nearer than the Hollow, Mr. Yorke had conveyed his young comrade there. He had seen him laid in the best bed of the house, as carefully as if he had been one of his own sons. The sight of his blood, welling from the treacherously1 inflicted2 wound, made him indeed the son of the Yorkshire gentleman's heart. The spectacle of the sudden event, of the tall, straight shape prostrated3 in its pride across the road, of the fine southern head laid low in the dust, of that youth in prime flung at once before him pallid4, lifeless, helpless—this was the very combination of circumstances to win for the victim Mr. Yorke's liveliest interest.
No other hand was there to raise—to aid, no other voice to question kindly5, no other brain to concert measures; he had to do it all himself. This utter dependence6 of the speechless, bleeding youth (as a youth he regarded him) on his benevolence7 secured that benevolence most effectually. Well did Mr. Yorke like to have power, and to use it. He had now between his hands power over a fellow-creature's life. It suited him.
No less perfectly8 did it suit his saturnine9 better half. The incident was quite in her way and to her taste. Some women would have been terror-struck to see a gory10 man brought in over their threshold, and laid down in their hall in the "howe of the night." There, you would suppose, was subject-matter for hysterics. No. Mrs. Yorke went into hysterics when Jessie would not leave the garden to come to her knitting, or when Martin proposed starting for Australia, with a view to realize freedom and escape the tyranny of Matthew; but an attempted murder near her door—a half-murdered man in her best bed—set her straight, cheered her spirits, gave her cap the dash of a turban.
