CHAPTER XIL
The house, like nearly all Moorish
donees of this class, was simply one
!vge and lofty room, with a domed
sailing built of very thick masonry, to
Resist the heat of the enn. There was
'aeither window nor chimney, the door
xrving to. admit light and air and let
Jut the smoke if a fire were lighted
within. One-half of this chamber was
dug oat to a depth of a couple of feet
lor the accommodation of cattle (the
litter being thrown into the hollow as
it is needed and toaught removed till it
iches the level of the other floor), and
above this about eight feet from the '
ground and four from the roof was a
kind of shelf (the breadth and length of

I With that, having finished his inspeo

looks at it outside.

clacking his tongue, "what we are go

Now, if this town had been as we count-
on, like Barcelona, all had gone as
erry as a marriage bell, for then might
e have gained enough to keep us in
jollity as long as you please, but here, if
we die not of oolio in a week, t'will be
at say you, Kit?"
I was forced to admit that I had never
a town less likely to afford a sub-
tence than this.
Then Don Sanchez, having heard us
th great patience and waited a min-
te to see if we could raise any further
injections, answers us in measured tones.
"I doubt not," says he, "that with a
ittle ingenuity you may make the house
labitable and this wilderness agreeable,
ily friend, Sidi ben Ahmed, has offered
o provide us with what commodities
ire necessary to that end. I agree with
rou that it would be impossible to earn
he meanest livelihood here by dancing.
:t would not be advisable if we could.
For that reason, my knowledge of va

barge, as I promised, and you shall
vant for nothing in reason. If the Moors
brink no wine themselves, they make
ixcellent for those who will, and you
hall not be stinted in that particular. "
"Come, this sounds fair enough,"
ries Dawson. "But pray, senor, are we
o do nothing for our keep?"
"Nothing beyond what we came here
o do," replies he, with a meaning
lance at MolL
"What?" cries poor Moll in pain.
'We are to dance no more?"
The don shook his head gravely, and
femembering the jolly, vagabond, care-
adventurous life we had led these
past two months, with a thousand pleas-
int incidents of our happy junketings,
we were an downcast at ine prospect oi
L-for a year without change.
"Though I promised you no more
ihan I offer," says the don, "yet if this
prospect displease you we will cry quits

purse from his pocket, "I will give you

It seemed to me that there was an un-
signed carelessness in his manner, as if
he would as lief as not throw up his
dons enterprise for some other
ore sure undertaking. And indeed I
lieve he was then balancing another
alternative in his mind.
At this generous offer Moll dashed
Way the tears that had sprung to her
Byes, brightening up wonderfully, but
uhen, casting her eyes upon the don, her
race fell again as at the thought of leav-
ig him, for we all admired him and
e prodigiously for nis great reserve
id many good qualities which com-
ded respect, and this feeling was
ged in her case, I believe, with a
id of growing anection.
Seeing this sentiment in her eyes, the
ion was clearly touched by it, and so
ing his hand gently on her shoulder
says:
"My poor child, remember you the
;ly old women we saw dancing at Bar-
a.? Thar were not more than 40.
" truai, win tney be like in a few years?
I Who will tolerate them? Who will love
them? Is thut the end you choose for
your own life that the estate to which
our little princess shall fall?"
"No, no, no!" cries she in a passion,
clinching her little hands and throwing
up her head in disdain.
"And no, no, no, say I," cries Daw
Bon. "Were our case ten times as bad,
I'd not go back from my word. As it is,
we are not to be pitied, and I warrant
ere long we make ourselves to be envied.
Come, Kit, rouse you out of your lethar
gies and let us consult how we may im
prove our condition here, and do you,
senor, pray order us a little of that same
excellent wiue you spoke of, if it be but
a pint, when you feel disposed that
way. "
fPUrt
The don inclined his head, but linger
ed, talking to Moll very gravely and yet
tenderly for some while, Dawson and I
going into the house to see what we
could make of it, and then, telling us
we should see him no more till the next
day, he left us. But for some time after
he was gone Moll sat on the side of the
well, very pensive and wistful, as one to
whom the future was opened for the
first time.
Anon oomes a banging at our garden
gate, which Moll had closed behind the
don, and, going to it, we find a Moor
ish boy with a barrow charged with
many things. We could not understand
a word he said, but Dawson decided
these chattels were sent us by the don
by perceiving a huge hogskin of wine,
tor which he thanked God and Don San
chez a hundred times over. So these
commodities we carried up to the house,
marveling greatly at the don's fore
thought and generosity, for here were a
score of things over and above those we
had already found ourselves lacking
namely, earthen pipkins and wooden
vessels, a bag of charcoal, a box of car
penter's tools, which did greatly delight
Dawson, he having been bred a carpen
ter in his youth j instruments for gar
dening, to my pleasure, as I have ever
had a taste for such employment ; some
very fine Moorish blankets, etc. So when
the barrow is discharged Dawson gives
the lad some rials out of his pocket,
which pleases him also mightily.
Then, first of all, Dawson unties the
log of the hogskin and draws off a quart
of wine, very carefully securing the leg
after, and this we drink to our great re-
The don lingered, talking to Moll very
gravely.
freshment, and next, Moll, being awoke
from her dreams and eager to be doing,
sets herself to sort out our goods, such
as belong tons as tools, etc. on one
side, and such as belong to her as pip
kins and the rest on the other. Leav
ing her to this employment, Dawson and
I, armed with a knife and bagging hook,
betake ourselves to a great store of canes
stacked in one corner of the garden, and
sorting out those most proper to our pur
pose we lopped them all of an equal
length, and shouldering as many as we
could carried them up to our house.
Here we found Moll mighty jubilant in
having got her work done, and admira
bly she had done it, to be sure, for hav
ing found a long recess in tne wail sue i
had brushed it out clean with a whisp
of herbs and stored up her crocks, ao- i
cording to their size, very artificial, with
a dish of oranges plucked from the tree
at our door on one side and a dish of
almonds on the other, a pipkin standing
betwixt 'em with a handsome posy of
roses in it She had spread a mat on the
floor and folded up our fine blankets to
serve for cushions, and all that did not
belong to her she had bundled out of
sicrht into that hollowed side I have
mentioned as being intended for cattle.
After we had sufficiently admired the
Trformanee she told us she had a mind
totrivens a supper of broth. "But,"
savs she. "the don has forgotten that
we must eat, and hath sent us neither
i bread nor flesh nor salt"
This put us to a stumble, for how to
get these things we knew not, but Moll
declared she would get all she needed if
we could only find the money.
" Why, how?" asks Jack. " xou Know
not their gibberish. "
"That may be," answers she, "but I
warrant the same language that bought
me this petticoat will get us a supper."
So we gave her what money we had,
and she went off a-marketing, with as
much confidence as if she were a born
BarbaryMoor. Then Jack falls to thank
ing God for blessing him with such a
daughter, at the same time taking no
small credit to himself for having bred
to her such perfection, and in the midst
of bis encomiums, being down in the hol
low searohins for bit hammer, he cries:
"riagne take the careless Wggagn.
She bus spilled all our nails, and here's
an hour's work to pick 'em up I"
This accident was repaired, however,
and Moll's transgression forgotten when
she returned with an old woman carry
ing her purchases. Then were we forced
to admire her skill in this business, for
she had bought all that was needful for
a couple of meals, and yet had spent but
half our money. Now arose the difficult
question how to make a fire, and this
Jack left us to settle by our own devices,
he returning to his own occupation. 1
Moll resolved we should do our cooking
outside the house, so here we built up a
kind of gate with stones, and contriving
to strike a spark with the back of a jack
knife and a stone upon a heap of dried
leaves we presently blew up a fine
flame, and feeding this with the ends of
cane we had cut and some charcoal we
at last got a royal fire on which to set
our pot of mutton. And into this pot we
put rice and a multitude of herbs from
the garden, which by the taste we
thought might serve to make a savory.
And indeed when it began to boil the
odor was bo agreeable that we would
have Jack come out to smell it, and he
having praised it very highly we, in re
turn, went in to look at his handiwork
and praise that. This we could do very
heartily and without hypocrisy, for he
had worked well and made a rare good
job, having made a very seemly parti-,
tion across the room by nailing of the
canes perpendicularly to that kind of,
floor that hung over the hollowed por
tion, thus making us now three rooms
out of one. At one end he had left an
opening to enter the cavity below and t
the floor above by the little ladder that
stood there, and these canes were set'
not bo close together but that air and ,
light could pass betwixt them, and yet
from the outer side no eye could see
within,' which was very commodious;
also upon the floor above he had found
sundry bundles of soft, dried leaves, and
these, opened out upon the surf ace of
both chambers, made a very sweet, con
venient .bed upon which to lie. Then,
Dawson offering Moll her choice,' she
took the upper floor for her chamber,
leaving us two the lower, and so, it be
ing near sundown by this time, we to
our supper in the sweet, cool air of
evening, all mightily content with one
another, and not less satisfied with our
Btew, which was indeed most savory and
palatable. This done, we took a turn
round our little domain, admiring the
many strange and wonderful things-that
grew there, especially the figs, which,
though yet green, were wondrous pleas
ant to eat, and I laying out my plans for
the morrow, how to get this wilderness
into order, tear out the worthless herbs,
dig the soil, etc., Dawson's thoughts
running on the building of an outhouse
for the accommodation of our wine,
tools and such like and meditating on
dishes to give us our repast, and at length,
when these divers subjects were no more
to be discussed, we turned into our dor
mitories and fell asleep as happy as
princes.
CHAPTER Xm.
The surprising activity with which
we attacked our domestic business at
Elche lasted about two days and a half,
Dawson laboring at his shed, I at the
cultivation of the garden and Moll quit
ting her cooking and household affairs,
as occasion permitted, to lend a helping
hand first to her father and then to me.
And as man, when this fever of enter
prise is upon him, must forever be seek
ing to add to his cares, we persuaded
Don Sanchez to let us have two she goats
to stall in the shed and consume our
waste herbage, that we might have milk
and get butter, which they do in these
parts by shaking the cream in a skin bag
(a method that seems simple enough till
you have been shaking the bag for 20
minutes in vain on a sultry morning)
without cost. But, the novelty of the
thing wearing off, our eagerness rapidly
subsided, and so about the third day, as
I say, the heat being prodigious, we
toiled with no spirit at all.
Dawson was the first to speak his
mind. Says he, coming to me while I
was still sweating over my shovel :
"I've done it, but hang me if I do
more. There's a good piece of work
worth 30 shillings of any man's money,
but who'll give me a thank ye for it
when we leave here next year?"
And then he can find nothing better to
do than fall a-commentingonmy labors,
saying there was but precious nttie to
show for my efforts ; that had he been
in my place he would have ordered mat
ters otherwise, and began digging t'oth
er end, wagering that I should give up
my job before it was quarter done, etc. ,
all which was mighty discouraging, and
the more unpleasant because I felt there
was a good deal of truth in what he
said.
Consequently I felt a certain malicious
enjoyment the next morning upon find
ing that the goats had burst out one side
of his famous shed and got loose into
the garden, which enabled me to won
der that two such feeble creatures could
undo such a good 80 shillings' worth of
work, etc. But ere I was done galling
him I myself was mortified exceedingly
to find these mischievous brutes had torn
up all the plants I had set by the trees
in the shade as worthy of cultivation,
which gave Jack a chance for gibing at
, me.
I But that which imbittered us as much
as anything was to have Moll holding
her sides for laughter at our attempts to
catch these two devilish goats, which to
our cost we found were not so feeble
after all, for getting one up in a corner
she raises herself up on her hind legs
and brings her skull down with such a
smack on my knee that I truly thought
she had broken my cramp bone, while
t'other, taking Dawson in the ankles
with her horns as he was reaching for
ward to lay hold of her, lay him sprawl
ing in our little stream of water. Nor
do I think we should ever have captured
them but that, giving over our endeav
ors from sheer fatigue, they of their own
accord sauntered into the shed for shel
ter from the sun. where Moll clanncd to
ine aoiir upon them and set her back
against the gap in the side until her fa
ther came with a hammer and somo
stout nails to secure the planks. So fur
the rest of that day Jack and I lay on
our backs in the shade doing nothing,
but exceedingly sore one against the
other for these mischances.
But our heartburnings ended not
there, for coming in to supper at sun
down Moll has nothing to offer us but
dry bread and a dish of dates, which,
though it be the common supper of the
Moors in this place, was little enough to
our satisfaction, as Dawson told her in
pretty round terms, asking her what she
was fit for if not to give us a meal fit
for Christians, etc. , and stating very ex
plicitly what he would have her prepare
for our dinner next day. Moll takes her
upbraiding very humbly, which was
ever a bad sign, and promises to be more
careful of our comfort in the future.
And so ended that day.
The next morning Dawson and I make
no attempt at work, but after break
fast, by common accord, stretch us out
under the palms to meditate, and there
about half past 10 Don Sanchez, com
ing round to pay us a visit, finds us both
sound asleep. A sudden exclamation
from him aroused us, and as we stum
bled to our feet, staring about us, we
perceived Moll coming from the house,
but so disfigured with smuts of charcoal
all over her face and hands we scarce
knew her.
"God's nierey!" cries the don. "What
on earth have you been doing, child?"
To which Moll replies, with a courtesy :
"I am learning to be a cook wench,
senor, at my father's desire. "
"You are here," answers the don,
with a frown, "to learn to be a lady.
If a cook wench is necessary, you shall
have one"(this to us), "and anything
else that my means may afford. You
will do well to write me a list of your
requirements, but observe," adds he,
turning on his heel, "we may have to
stay here another twelvemonth if my
economies are not sufficient by the end
of the first year to take us hence. "
This hint brought us to our senses
very quickly, and overtaking him ere ho
reached our garden gate Dawson and I
assured the don we had no need of any
servant and would be careful that Moll
henceforth did no menial office ; that we
would tax his generosity no more than
we could help, etc., to our great humili
ation when we came to reflect on our
conduct.
Thenceforth Dawson charged himself
with the internal economy of the house,
and I with that part which concerned
the custody and care of the goats, the
cultivation of pot herbs and with such
instruction of Moll in the Italian tongue
as I could command. But, to tell the
truth, we neither of us did one stroke of
work beyond what was absolutely neces-
sary, and especially Dawson, being past
everything for indolence, did so order
his part that from having two dishes of
flesh a day we came, ere long, to get-

ting but one mess a week, he forcing
himself and us to be content with dates
and bread for our repasts rather than
give himself the trouble of boiling a pot.

night and morn, which is done by throw
ing water from the little stream broad
cast with a shovel on either side, I did
no more than Dawson, but joined him 1
in yawning the day away, for which my '
sole excuse is the great heat of this re
gion, which aotn beget most siotniui
humors in those matured in cooler
climes.
With Moll, however, the case was
otherwise, for she, being young and of
an exceeding vivacious, active disposi
tion, must forever be doing of some
thing, and lucky for us when it was not
some mischievous trick at our expense
as letting the goats loose, shaking
lemons down on our heads as we lay
asleep beneath the tree, and the like.
Being greatly smitten with the appear
ance of the Moorish women (who,
though they are not permitted to wan-
j der about at will like our women, are
yet suffered to fetch water from the
publio fountains), she surprised us one
morning by coming forth dressed in
their mode. And this dress, which seems
to be naught but a long 6heet wound
loosely twice or thrice about the body,
buckled on the shoulder, with holes for
the arms to be put through in the man
ner of the old Greeks, became her sur
prisingly, and we noticed then for the
first time that her arms were rounder
and fuller than when we had last seen
' them bare. Then, to get the graceful,
noble bearing of the Moors, she prac-
t ticed day after day by carrying a pitch
er of water on her head, as they do, until
she could do this with perfect ease and
I sureness. In this habit the don, who
I was mightily pleased with her looks,
took her to the house of his friend and
employer, Sidi ben Ahmed, where she
ingratiated herself so greatly with the
women of his household that they would
have her come to them again the next
day, and after that the next indeed,
thenoeforth she spent far more of her
time with these new friends than with
us. And here, from the necessity of
making herself understood, together
with an excellent memory and a natu
ral aptitude, she learned to speak the
Moorish tongue in a marvelously short
space of time. Dawson and I were fre
quently asked to accompany Moll, and
we went twice to this house, which,
though nothing at all to look at outside,
was very magnificently furnished with
in, and the entertainment most noble.
But, Lord, 'twas the most tedious,
wearisome business for us, who could
make out never a word of the civil
speeches offered us without the aid of
Don Sanchez and Moll, and then could
think of no witty response, but could
only sit there grinning like Gog and
Magog. Still it gave us vast pleasure to
see how Moll carried herself with this
company, talking as ireeiy as tney, yet
holding herself with the dignity of an
equal, and delighting all by her vivaci
ty and shy, pretty ways.
I think no country in Europe can be
richer than this Eiche in fruits and
vegetation, more beautiful in its sur
rounding aspects of plain and mountain,
more blessed with constant, glorious
sunlight, and the effect of these charms
upon the quick, receptive spirit of our
Moll was like a gentle May upon a
nightingale, so that the days were all
too short for her enjoyment, and she
must need vent her happiness in song.
But on us they made no more impression
than on two owls in a tower, but if any
thing they did add to that weariness
which arose from our lack of occupation.
For here was no contrast in our lives,
one day being as like another as two
peas in a pod, and having no sort of ad
versities to give savor to our ease we
found existence the most flat, insipid,
dull thing possible. I remember how,
on Christmas day, Dawson did cry outr
against the warm sunshine as a thing
contrtry to nature, wishing he might
stand up to his knees in snow in a
whistling wind, and taking up the
crock Moll had filled with roses (which
here bloom more fully in the depth of
winter than with us in the height of
summer) he flung it out of tlje door
with a curse for an un -Christian thing to
have in the house on such a day.
As soon as the year had turned we
i
began to count the days to our depar
ture, and thenceforth we could think oi
naught but what we would do with our
fortune when we got it, and, the even
ings being long, we would set the bag
of wine betwixt us after our supper of
dates and sit there for hours discussing
our several projects. Moll being with
us (for in these parts no womankind
may be abroad after sundown), she
would take part in these debates with
as much gusto as we. For, though she
was not wearied of her life here as we
Were, yet she was possessed of a very
stirring spirit of adventure, and her
quick imagination furnished endless vi
sions of lively pleasures and sumptuous
living. We agreed that we would live
together and share everything in com
mon as one family, but not in such an
outlandish spot as Chiselhurst. That
estate we would have nothing to do
with, but selling it at once have in its
place two houses one city house in the
Strand and a country house not farther
from town than Bethnal Green, or
Clerkenwell at the outside, to the end
that when we were fatigued with the
pleasures of the town we might, by an
easy journey, resort to the tranquillity
of rural life.
Dawson declared what wines he would
have laid down in our cellars, I what
books should furnish our library, and
Moll what dresses she would wear (not
less than one for every month of the
year), what coaches and horses we
should keep, what liveries our servants
should wear, what entertainments we
would give and so forth. Don Sanchez
was not excluded from our deliberations ;
indeed he encouraged us greatly by ap
proving of all our plans, only stipulat
ing that we would guard one room for
him in each of our houses, that he
might feel at home in our society when
ever he chanced to be in our neighbor
hood. In all these arguments there was
never one word of question from any of
i us aa to the honaitv of our dasi
I
nan settled that once and for all, before
starting on this expedition, and since
then, little by little, we had come to re
gard the Godwin estate as a natural gift,
as freely to be taken as a blackberry
from the hedge. Nay, I believe Dawson
and I would have contested our right to
it by reason of the pains we were taking
to possess it.
