Before going Don Sanchez warned us
that very, likely Simon would pay us a
visit suddeuly to satisfy any doubts that
might yet crop up in his suspicious
mind, and so, to be prepared for him, I
got in a good store of paper and books
such as a merchant might require in
seeking to re-establit-h himself in busi

this, the drawer, who had been instruct

says I, as if to put him off.
"Nay, come at once, I implore thee,
for until I am justified to my mistress I
stand like one betwixt life and death."
"For one thing," says I, still shuf
fling, "I can do nothing nor you either
to the payment of our just claim before
the inheritance is safoly settled upon
Mistress Godwin."
"That shall be done forthwith. I
know the intricacies of the law, and
know my way," tapping his head and
then his pocket, "to get a seal, with ten
times the dispatch of any attorney. I
promise by Saturday thee shalt have as
surance to thy utmost requirement. Say,
good friend, thee wilt be at my lodge
house on that day."
"I'll promise nothing, " says L "Our
poor Captain Evans is still a prisoner in
his room."
"Aye," says Dawson, ooming in from
the next room in his nightgown, seem
ing very feeIe and weak despite his
blustering voice, "and I'm like to be no
better till I can get a ship of my own
and be to sea again. Have you brought
my money, Mr. Quaker?"
"Thee shalt have it truly; wait but
a little while, good friend, a little

j "Wait a little while and founder alto

and would I'd been born with a snack

twosoore men that money'U ne'er re

prayer and another. I doubt you're
minded to turn your back on poor old
Bob Evans, as t'others have, Mr. Hop
kinsand why not? The poor old man's
I wortn nothing, and cannot help him-
self." With this he fell a-sniveling like
an siri.
"I vow I'll not quit you,. Evans, till
you're hale again. "
"Bring him with thee o' Saturday,"
urged Simon. "Surely my mistress can
never have the heart to refuse you shel
ter at the court, who owes her life to
ye. Come and stay there till thy wage be
paid, friend Evans."
"What! Would ye make an honest
sailor play bum bailiff and stick in a
house, willy nilly, till money's found?

pitching ship, and a rolling sea, and a
gale whistling in my shrouds. Oh, my
reins, my reins ! Give me a paper of to
bacco, Mr. Hopkins, and a pipe to soothe
this agony, or I shall grow desperate."
I left the room as if to satisfy this de
sire, and Simon followed, imploring me
still to come on Saturday to Chiselhurst,
and I at length got rid of him by prom
ising to come as soon as Evans could be
left or induced to accompany me. I
persuaded Dawson, very much against
his greed, to delay our going until Mon
day, the better to hoodwink old Simon,
and on that day we set out for Chisel
hurst, both clad according to our condi
tion he in rough frieze, and I in a very
proper, seemly sort of cloth and with
more guineas in our pockets than ever
before we had possessed shillings. And
a very merry journey this was, for Daw
son, finding himself once more at liberty
and hearty as a lark after his long con
finement and under no constraint, was
like a boy let loose from school, carol
ing at the top of his voice, playing mad
pranks with all who passed us on the
road and staying at every inn to drink
twopenny ale, so that I feared he would
certainly fall ill drinking, as he had be
fore of eating, but the exercise of rid
ing, the fresh, wholesome air and half
an hour's doze in a spinney did settle
his liquor, and so he reached Hurst Court
quite sober, thanks be to heaven, though
very gay. And there we had need of all
our self command to conceal our joy in
finding those gates open to us, which we
had looked through so fondly when we
were last here, and to spy Moll in a
stately gown on the fine terrace before
this noble house, carrying herself as if
she had lived here all her life, and Don
Sanchez walking very deferential by her
sido. Especially Dawson could scarce
bring himself to speak to her in an un
couth, surly manner, as befitted his
character, and no sooner were we enter
ed the house but he whips Moll behind
a door and falls a-hugging and kissing
her like any sly young lover.
While he was giving way to these ex
travagances, which Moll had not the
heart to rebuff for in her full, warm
heart she was as overjoyed to see him
there as he her Don Sanchez and I
paced up and down the spacious hall, I

servants might discover the familiarity

mighty somber and grave (as foreseeing
an evil outcome of this business), so
that he would make no answer to my
civilities save by dumb gestures, show
ing he was highly displeased. But truly
'twas enough to set us all crazy, but he,
with joy, to be in possession of all these
riches and think that we had landed at
Chatham scarce a fortnight before with
out decent clothes to our backs, and
now, but for the success of our design, '
might be the penniless strolling vaga-1
bonds we were when Don Sanchez light
ed on us. I
Presently Moll came out from the side
room with her father, her hair all tum
bled, and as rosy as a peach, and she i
would have us visit the house from top
to bottom, showing us the rooms set

indication of the steward's thrifty, uu-
poetio mind, that the garden beds were
planted with onions and such market
able produce, in placo of flowers, and
that instead of deer grazing upon the
green slopes of the park there was only
such prodigious cattle as sheop, cows,
etc. And at the sight of all this abun
dance of good things, and especially the
well stored buttery, Dawson declared
he could live here all his life and never
worry. And with that, all unthinking
ly, he lays his arm about Moll's waist.
Then the don, who had followed us
up and down stairs, speaking never one
word till this, says. "We may count
ourselves lucky, Captain Evans, if we
are suffered to stay here another week. "
CHAPTER XVI.
The next morning I went to Simon at
his lodgehouse, having writ him a note
overnight to prepare him for my visit,
and there I found him, with all his
books and papers ready for my examina
tion. So to it we 6et, casting up figures,
comparing accounts and so forth the
best part of the day, and in the end I
came away convinced that he was the
most scrupulous, honest steward ever
man had. And truly it appeared that by
his prudent investments and careful
management he had trebled the value of
the estate and more in the last ten years.
He showed me also that in all his valu
ations he had set off a large sum for loss
by accident of fire, wear, etc., so that
actually at the present moment the es
tate, which he reckoned at 75,000
pounds, was worth at the least 125,
000. But for better assurance on this
head I spent the remainder of the week
in visiting the farms, menages, etc. , on
his rent roll, and found them all in good
condition and held by good substantial
men, nothing in any particular but what
he represented it.
Reporting on these matters privily to
Don Sanchez and Dawson, I asked the
ion what we should now be doing.
"Two ways lie before us," says he,
lighting a cigarro. "Put Simon out of
his house and make an enemy of him,"
adds he betwixt two puffs of smoke,
"seize his securities, sell them for what
they will fetch and get out of the coun
try as quickly as possible. If the prop
erties be worth 1 25,000, we may" (puff)
"possibly" (puff) "get 40,000 for
them" (puff), "about a third of their
value not more. On 10,000 a man
may live like a prince in Spain. The
other way is to make a friend of Simon
by restoring him to his office, suffer
him to treble the worth of the estate
again the next ten years and live like
kings" (puff) "in England." ,
"Pray, which way do you incline,
senor?"saysL
"Being a Spaniard," answers he
gravely, "I should prefer to live like a
prince in Spain. "
"That would not I," Bays Dawson
stoutly. "A year and a half of Elche
have cured me of all fondness for for
eign parts. Besides, 'tis a beggarly,
scurvy thing to fly one's country, as if
we had done some unhandsome, dishon
est trick. If I faced an Englishman, I
should never dare look him straight in
the eyes again. What say you, Mr. Hop;
kins?"
"Why, Evans," says I, " you know
my will without telling. I will not of
my own accord go from your choice,
which way you will "
' Since we owe everything to Mistress
Judith," observes the don, "and as she
is no longer a child, ought not her
wishes to be consulted?"
"No," says Jack very decidedly, and
then, lowering his voice, he adds, "for
was she Judith Godwin ten times told,
and as old as my grandmother into the
bargain, she is still my daughter and
shall do as I choose her to da And if,
as you say, we owe her everything then
I count 'twould be a mean, dirty return
to make her live out of England and
feel she has a sneaking coward for a fa
ther." "As yon please," says the don. "Give
me 10,000 of the sum you are to be paid
at Michaelmas, and you are welcome to
all the rest."
"You mean that, senor?" cries Jack,
seizing the don's hand and raising his
left.
"By the Holy Mother!" answers Don
Sanchez in Spanish.
"Done!" cries Dawson, bringing his
hand down with a smack on the Don's
palm. "Nay, I always believed you
were the most generous man living.
Ten from t'other. William Jackson,"
says he, turning to me, "what does that
leave us?"
"More than 100,000!"
"The Lord be praised forevermore !"
cries Jack.

she is satisfied with the account I have
given of his stewardship offers him the
further control of her affairs, subject at
all times to her decision on any question
concerning her convenience and reserv
ing to herself the sole government of her
household, the ordering of her home,
lands, etc. And, Simon grasping eager
ly at this proposal, she then gives him
the promise of 1,000 for his past serv
ices and doubles the wages due to him
under his contract with Sir W. Godwin.
"Give me what it may please thee to
bestow that way," cried he. "All shall
be laid out to enrich this property. I
have no other use for money, no other
worldly end in life but that"

most slavish in his thanks for my good
offices, vowing I should be paid my

oureiy, mints x, mere was never a
more strange, original creature than
this, yet it do seem to me that there is
( no man but his passion must appear a
madness to others.
I must speak now of Moll, her admi
rable carriage and sober conduct in these
new circumstances, which would have
turned the heads of most others. Never
once to my knowledge did she lose her
sion, and this was due, not alone to her
own shrewd wit and understanding, but
to the subtle intelligence of Don San
chez, who in the character of an old and
trusty friend was ever by her side,
watchful of her interest (and his own),
ready at any moment to drop in her ear
a quiet word of warning or counsel. By
his advice she had taken into her serv
ice ataost commendable, proper old gen
tlewoman, one Mrs. Margery Butterby,
who, as being the widow of a country
parson, was very orderly in all things
and particularly nice in the proprieties.
This notable good soul was of a
cheery, chatty disposition, of very pleas
ing manners and a genteel appearance,
and so, though holding but the part of
housekeeper, she served as an agreeable
companion and a respectable guardian,
whose mere presence in the house re
lieved any questiqn that might have
arisen from the fact of three men living
under the same roof with the young and
beautiful mistress of Hurst Court.
Moreover, she served us as a very useful
kind of mouthpiece, for all those mar
velous stories of her life in Barbary, of
the pirates we had encountered in re
deeming her from the Turk, etc., with
which Moll would beguile away any
tedious half hour, for the mere amuse
ment of creating Mrs. Butterby's won
der and surprise, as one will tell stories
of fairies to children, this good woman
repeated with many additions of her
own concerning ourselves, which, to re
flect credit on herself, were all to our
advantage. This was the more fitting,
because the news spreading that the lost
heiress had returned to Hurst Court ex
cited curiosity far and wide, and it was
not long before families in the surround
ing seats, who had known Sir W. God
win in bygone times, called to see his
daughter. And here Moll's tact was
taxed to the utmost, for some who had
known Judith Godwin as an infant ex
pected that she should remember some
incident stored in their recollection. But
she was ever equal to the occasion,
feigning a pretty doubting innocence at
first, then suddenly asking this lady if
' she had not worn a cherry dress with a
beautiful stomacher, or that gentleman
: if he had not given her a goldpiece for
a token, and it generally happened these
' shrewd shafts hit their mark, the lady,
! though she might have forgotten her
gown, remembering she had a very be
coming stomacher at that time, the
gentleman believing that he did give
her a luck penny, and so forth, from
very vanity.
Then Moll's lofty carriage and her
beauty would remind them of their dear
lost friend, Mrs. Godwin, in the heyday
of her youth, and all agreed in admir
ing her beyond anything, and though
Moll, from her lack of knowledge, made .
many slips and would now and then say ,
thines uncustoirary to women of breed-!

' xug, yei tnese were easily attrlDnted to
her living so long in a barbarous coun
try and were as readily glanced over.
Indeed nothing could surpass Moll's ar
tificial conduct on these occasions. Sht
I would lard her conversation with those
scraps of Italian she learned from me,
To my strumming glngs a Moorish song.
mA sometimes, affecting to have forgot
her own tongue, she would stumble at a
. wora, ana turning to Don Sanchez ask
him the English of some Moorish
phrase. Then one day, there being quite
a dozen visitors in her stateroom, she
brings down her Moorish dress and those
baubles given her by friends at Elche, to
show the ladies, much to the general as
tonishment and wonder; then, being
prayed to dress herself in these clothes,
she, with some hesitation of modesty,
consents, and after a short absence from
the room returns in this costume, look
ing lovelier than ever I had before seen,
with the rings about her shapely bare
arms and on her ankles, and thus array
ed she briugs me a guitar, and to my
strumming sings a Moorish song, sway
ing her arms above her head and turn
ing gracefully in their fashion, so that
all were in an ecstasy with this strange
performance. And the talk spreading,
the number of visitors grew apace as
j bees will flock to honey and yielding
to their urgent entreaties she would of
ten repeat this piece of business, and al-
, ways with a most winning grace that
charmed every one. But she was most a
favorite of gentlemen and elderly ladies ;
for the younger ones she did certainly
put their noses out of joint, since none
could at all compare with her in beauty
nor in manner either, for she had nei
ther the awkward shyness of some nor ;
me boldness of others, but contrived
ever to steer neatly betwixt the two ex
ireines Dy ner natural sell possession
ana learlessness,
i Of all her new friends, the most eager
m courting her were Sir Harry Upton
and his lady (living in the Crays), and
they, being about to go to London for
the winter, did press Moll very hard to
go witn tnem mat she might be present
ed to the king, and, truth to tell, they
would not have had to ask her twice had
she been governed only by her own in
clination. She was mad to go that au
dacious spirit of adventure still working
very strong in her and she, like a win
ning gamester, must forever be playing
for higher and higher stakes. But'we,
who had heard enough of his excellent
but lawless majesty's court to fear the
fate of any impulsive, beauteous young
woman that came within his sway, were
quite against this. Even Don Sanchez,
, who was no innocent, did persuade her
from it with good, strong arguments,
! showing that, despite his worldliness,
he did really love her as much as 'twas
' in his withered heart to love any one.
As for Dawson, he declared he would
sooner see his Moll in her winding sheet
than in the king's company, adding
that 'twould be time enough for her to
think of going to court when she had a
husband to keep her out of mischief.
And so she refused this offer (but with
secret tears, I believe). "But, ' ' says she
t to her father, "if I'm not to have my
, own way till I'm married, I shall get
me a husband as soon as I can. "
I And it seemed that she would not
have to look far or wait long for one
either. Before a month was passed at
' least half a dozen young sparks were

X ofcher being known to
all how Simon had enriched the estate.
Ana twas this abundance of suitors
j which prevented Moll from choosing any
, one in particular, else had there been
I but one I believe the business would
have been settled very quickly. For now
, she was in the very flush of life, and
j the blood that flowed in her veins was
; of no lukewarm kind.
But here (that I may keep all my
strings in harmony) I must quit Moll
for a space to toll of her father. That
first hint of the don's bringing him to
his senses somewhat, like a dash of cold
water, and the exuberance of his joy
subsiding, he quickly became more cir
cumspect in his behavior and fell into
the part he had to play, and the hard,
trying, sorrowful part that was neither
he nor I had foreseen, for now was he
compelled for the first time in his life,
at any length, to live apart from his
daughter, to refrain from embracing her
when they met in the morning, to speak
to her in a rough, churlish sort when
his heart maybe was overflowing with
love and to reconcile himself to a cool,
indifferent behavior on her side when
his very soul was yearning for gentle,
tender warmth, and these natural crav
ings of affection were rather strengthen
ed than stilled by repression, as one's
hunger by starving. To add to this, he
now saw his Moll more bewitching than
ever she was before, the evidence of her
wit and understanding stimulating that
admiration which he dared not express.
He beheld her loved and courted openly
by all, while he who had deeper feeling
for her than any and more right to ca
ress her must at each moment stifle his
desires and lay fetters on his inclina
tions, which constraint, like, chains
binding down a stout, thriving oak, did
eat and corrode into his being, so that
he did live most of those days in a
veritable torment, yet for Moll's sake
was he very stubborn in his resolution,
and when he could no longer endure to
stand indifferently by whiii
he would go up to bis chamber ana pace
to and fro, like some she lion parted
from her cub.
These sufferings were not un per
ceived by Moll, who also had strong
feeling to repress and therefore could
comprehend her father's torture, and
she would often seize an opportunity
nay, run great risk of discovery to hie
her secretly to his room, there to throw
herself in his arms and strain him to
her heart, covering his great face with
tender kisses and whispering words of
hope and good cheer, with the tears on
her cheek. And one day when Jack
seemed more than usual downhearted
she offered him to give up everything
and return to her old ways, if he would.
But, this spurring his courage, he de
clared he would live in hell rather than
she should fall from her high estate and
become as mere vagabond wench again,
adding that 'twas but the first effort
gave him so much pain ; that with prad
tice 'twould all be as nothing; that such
sweet kisses as hers once a week did
amply compensate him for his fast, etc.
Then, her tears being brushed away, she
would quit him with noiseless step and
all precautions, and maybe five minutes
afterward while Jack was sitting pen
sive at his window pondering her sweet
ness and love he would hear her laugh
ing lightly below, as if he were already
forgotten.
