Indeed, their fortunes - so far as Ruth was concerned - were bound up together. The baronet saw that Richard, half-fuddled, was ripe for any confidences that might aim at the destruction of his enemy. He questioned him adroitly, and drew from him the story of the rising that was being planned, and of the share that Mr. Wilding - one of the Duke of Monmouth's chief movement-men - bore in the business that was toward.
When, towards midnight, Richard Westmacott went home, he left in Sir Rowland's hands an instrument which the latter accounted potential not only for the destruction of Anthony Wilding, but perhaps also for laying the foundations to the building of his own fortunes anew.
CHAPTER VII. THE NUPTIALS OF RUTH WESTMACOTT
Here was Sir Rowland Blake in high fettle at knowing himself armed with a portentous weapon for the destruction of Anthony Wilding. Upon closer inspection of it, however, he came to realize - as Richard had realized earlier - that it was double-edged, and that the wielding of it must be fraught with as much danger for Richard as for their common enemy.
