IV MAOMILLAN
(Continued from Inst week.)
Would Have gone away unjoiown ratner
than profit by his claim as Sir Thomas
Godwin's kinsman, even though Moll
should be no better than old Simon
wonld have him believe, upon which he
cries: "Lord love him for it, say I
again I Let us drink to thoir health.
Drink deep, Kit, for I've a fancy that
no man shall pnt his lips to this mug
after us."
So I drank heartily, and he, emptying
the jng, flnng it behind the chimney,
with another fervent ejaculation of grat
itude. Thou a shade of sorrow falling
on bis face as he lay it in his hand, his
elbow resting on the table :
- "I'd give the best half of the years
I've got to live," says he, "to see 'em
together and grasp Mr. Godwin's hand
In mine, bnt I'll not be tempted to it,
for I perceive clearly enough by what
yon tell me that my wayward tongue
and weakness have been undoing us all
and ruining my dear Moll's chance of
happiness. But tell mo, Kit," straight
ening himself up, "how think yon this
marriage will touch our affairs?"
"Only to better them, for now our
prosperity is assured, which otherwise
might have lacked security."
"Aye, to be sure, for now shall we be
til in one family with these Godwins,
and this cousin, profiting by the estate
as much as Moll, will never begrudge
her giving us a hundred or two now and
then for rendering him such good serv
ice." " 'Twill appeaso Moll's compunctions
tnto the bargain," says I heedlessly.
"What compunctions?"
"The word slipped me unintended,"
tainmers L "I mean nothing. "
"But something your word must
mean. Come, out with it, Kit "
"Well," says I, "since this fondness
has possessed her I have observed a
greater compunction to telling of lies
than she was wont to have. "
" 'Tis my fault," answered he sadly.
"She gets this leaning to honesty from
mo."
"This very morning," continues I,
"she was, I truly believe, of two minds
whether she should not confess to her
sweetheart that she was not his cousin. "
"For all the world my case !" cries
ho, slapping the table. "If I could only
have five minutes in secret with the dear
girl, I would give her a hint that should
make her profit by my folly." And then
ho tells me how, in the heyday of court
ship and the flush of confiding love, he
did confess to his wife that ho had car
ried gallantry somewhat too far with
Sukey Taylor and might have added a
good half dozon other names beside hers
but for her sudden outcry, and how,
though she might very well have sus
pected other amours, she did never re
proach him therewith, but was forever
to her dying day a-flinging Sukey Tay
lor in his teeth, etc.
"Lord, Kit!" cries he in conclusion.
"What would I give to save her from
snob, torment 1 You know how obedient
she is to my guiding, for I have ever
studied to make her respect me, and no
one in the world hath such empire over
horr Could it not be contrived anyhow
that we should meet for half an hour
secretly ?"
"Not secretly, " says L "But there is
no reason why yon should not visit her
openly. Nay, it will create less surprise
than if yon stay away. For what could
be more natural than your coming to
the court on your return from a voyage
to see the lady yon risked so much to
save?"
"Now God bless you for a good, true
friend 1" cries he, clasping my hand.
"I'll come, but to stay no great length.
Not a drop will I touch that day, and a
fool indeed I must be if I can't act my
part without bungling for a few hours
at a stretch, and I listening every night
in the parlor of the Spotted Dog to old
seamen swearing and singing their
songs. And I'll find an opportunity to
give Moll a hint of my past folly and
so rescue her from a like pitfall I'll
abide by your advice, Kit, which is the
wisest I ever heard from your lips."
But I was not so sure of this, and re
membering the kind of obedience Moll
had used to yield to her father's com
mands my mind misgave me.
CHAPTER XXm
I returned to Hurst Court the follow
ing day in the forenoon, and there I
found Mr. Godwin, with Moll clinging
to his arm, in an upper room command
ing a view of the northern slopes, dis
cussing their future, and Moll told me
with glee how this room was to be her
husband's workroom, where he would
paint pictures for the admiration of all
the world, saying that he would not,
nor would she have him, renounce his
calling to lead the idle life of a country
gentleman.
"If the world admire my pictures, the
world shall pay to have them, " says he,
with a smile. Then, turning to her, he
adds very tenderly : "I will owe all my
happiness to yon, sweetheart Yet guard
my independence in more material mat
ters. No mercenary question shall ever
suspicion on my love. "
Seeing I was not wanted here I left
them to , settle their prospectives and
ought Don Sanchez, whom I found read
ing in a room below, seated in a com
fortable chair before a good fire of apple
logs. To please me he shut up his book
and agreed to take a stroll in the nark

winie dinner was a-aressmg. no we slap
on our hats and cloaks and set forth,
talking of indifferent matters till we
had come into a fair open glade, which
Bort of place the prudent don did ever
prefer to holes and corners for secret
conference, and then he told me how
Moll and Mr. Godwin had already de
cided they would be married in three
weeks.
"Three weeks?" says I. "I would it
were to be done in three days." To
which desire the don coincides with
sundry grave nods, and then tells me
how Moll would have herself cried in
church, for all to know, and that noth
ing may be wanting to her husband's
dignity.
"After all," says I, "three weeks is
no such great matter. And now, senor,
do tell me what yon think of all this. "
"If yon had had the ordering of your
own destiny, you could not have con
trived it better," answers he. " 'Tis a
most excellent game, and you cannot
fail to win if" (here he pauses to blow
his nose) "if the cards are played prop
erly." This somehow brought Dawson into
my thoughts, and I told the don of my
visit to him, and how he did purpose to
come down to see Moll, whereat the
don, stopping short, looked at me very
curiously with his eyebrows raised, but
saying nothing.
" "lis no more than natural that a fa
ther should want to see what kind of
man is to be his daughter's husband,"
say I in excuse, "and if he will come,
what are we to do?"
"I know what I should do in your
place, Mr. Hopkins," says he quietly.
"Pray, senor, what is that?"
"Squeeze all the money you can out
of old Simon before he comes," answers
ho. "And it wouldn't be amiss to make
Mr. Godwin a party to this business by
letting him have a hundred or two for
his present necessities at once." .
Acting on this hint, when Moll left
tts after supper and we three men were
seated before the fire, I asked Mr. God
Win if ho would permit me to speak
npon a matter which concerned his hap
piness no less than his cousin Judith's.
"Nay, sir," replies he, "I do pray
you to be open with me, for otherwise I
must consider myself unworthy of your
friendship."
"Well, sir," says I, "my mind is
somewhat concerned on account of what
you said this morning namely, that no
pecuniary question shall ever be dis
cussed betwixt yon and your wife, and
that you will owe nothing to her but
happiness. This, together with your
purpose of painting pictures to sell,
means, I take it, that you will leave
your wife absolute mistress of her pres
ent fortune."
"That is the case exactly, Mr. Hop
kins," says he. "I am not indifferent
to the world's esteem, and I would give
no one reason to suspect that I had niar
riod my dear cousin to possess her for
tune. "
"Nevertheless, sir, you would not
have thought it that she begrudged yon
an equal share of her possessions. Yonr
position will necessitate a certain out
lay. To' maintain your wife's dignity
and your own you must dross well,
mount a good horse, be liberal in hospi
tality, give largely to those in need, and
so forth. With all due respect to your
genius in painting, I can scarcely think
that art will furnish yon at once with
supplies necessary to meet all these de
mands." "All this is very true, Mr. Hopkins,"
says he, after a little reflection. "To
tell the truth, I have lived so long in
want that poverty has become my sec
ond nature, and so these matters have
not entered into my calculations. Pray,
sir, continue."
"Your wife, be she never so consider
ate, may not always anticipate your
needs, and hence at some future moment
1 this question of supplies must arise, un
less they are disposed of before your
marriage."
"If that could be done, Mr. Hopkins,"
says he hopefully.
"It may be done, sir, very easily.
With your cousin's consent and yours,
I, as her elected guardian, at this time
will have a deed drawn up to be signed
by yon and her, settling one half the
estate upon yon, and the other half on
jour cousin. This will make yon not
her debtor, but her benefactor, for with
this deed all this, now hers, becomes
yours by legal right upon your marriage,
and she could not justly give away a
shilling without your permission, and
thus you assure to her the same inde
pendence that yon yourself would main
tain." , "Very good," says Don Sanchez in a
sonorous voice of approval as he lies
back in his high chair, his eyes closed
and a cigarro in the corner of his mouth.
"I thank yon with all my heart, Mr.
Hopkins," says Mr. Godwin warmly.
"I entreat you have this deed drawn
np if it be Cousin Judith's wish. "
"Yon may count with certainty on
that," says I, "for if my arguments
lacked power I have but to say 'tis your
desire, and 'twould be done, though it
took the last penny from her."
He made no reply to this, but bending
forward he gazed into the fire, with a
rapture in his face, pressing one hand
within the other as if it were his sweet
heart's. "In the meantime," says I, "if yon
have necessity for a hundred or two in
advance, yon have bat to give me yonr
' note of hand. "
v,ni ji'u :o a tfcL service?" cnea
he eagerly. "Can yon lot uio bave500
by tomorrow?"
"I believe loan supply yon to the ex
tent of six or seven. "
"AH that 3-0U can," Bays he, "for be
sides a pressing need that Will take me
to London tomorrow I owe something
to a friend here that I would fain dis
charge. "
Don Sanchez waived his band cava
lierly, though I do believe the subtle
He made no reply to this, but bending
forward he gazed into tiwfire.
Spaniard had hinted at this business as
much for his own ends as for our assur
ance. "I will have it ready against we meet
ia tho morning," says L
"You are so certain of her sanction?"
he asks in delight as if ho could not too
much assure himself of his cousin's de
votion. "She haB been guided by me in all
matters relating to her estate and will
.be in this, I am convinced. But here's
another question, sir, which, while we
are about business, might be discussed
With advantage. My rule here is nearly
at an end. Have yon decided who shall
govern the estate when I am gone?"
"Only that when I have authority
that rascal Simon shall be turned from
his office neck and crop. He loves me as
little as he loves his mistress that he
would sot us by the ears for his own ad
vantage."
"Ah, honest man nevertheless in his
peculiar way, " observes the don.
."Honest 1" cries Mr. Godwin hotly.
"Ho honest who would have suffered
Judith to die in Barbary? He shall go 1"
"Then you will -take m your own
hands the control of your joint estate?"
"I? Why, I know no more of such
matters than the man in the moon. "
"WTith all respect to your cousin's
abilities, I cannot think her qualified
for this office. "
"Surely another steward can be
found."
' Undoubtedly, " says L " But surely,
sir, you'd not trust all to" him without
some supervision? Large sums of money
must pass through his hands, and this
mnst prove a great temptation to dis
honost practices. 'Twould not be fair to
any man. "
"This is true," says he. "And yet
from natural disinclination, ignorance
and other reasons I would keep out of
it." Then, after some reflection, he
adds: "My cousin has told me how you
have lost all your fortune in saving her,
and that 'tis hot yet possible to repay
you. May "I ask, sir, without offense, if
you have any occupation for your time
when yon leave us?"
"I went to London when I left you
to see what might be done, but a mer
chant without money is like a carpen
ter without tools."
"Then, sir, till your debt is discharg
ed, or you can find some more pleasant
and profitable engagement, would you
not consent to govern these affairs? Ido
not ask you to stay here, though as
suredly you will ever be a welcome
guest, but if you would have one of the
houses on the estate or come hither from
time to time as it might lit your other
purposes and take this office as a mat
ter of business I should regard it as a
most generous, friendly kindness on
your part. "
I promised him with some demur,
and yet with the civility his offer de
manded, to consider of this, and so our
debate ended, and I went to bed very
well content with myself, for thus will
vanity blind us to our faults.
CHAPTER XXTV.
I got together 000, out of the sum
left ns after paying Don Sanchez his 10,
000, and delivered 'em to Mr. Godwin
against his note of hand, telling him at
the same time that, having slept upon
his proposal, I was resolved to be his
steward for three months, with freedom
on both sides to alter our position, ac
cording to our convenience, at the end
of that time, and would serve him and
his lady to the best of my power. Thank
ing me very heartily for my friendly
service to him, though, God knows,
with little reason, he presently left ns.
And Moll, coming back from taking
tender leave of him at her gates, appear
ed very downcast and pensive. However,
after moping an hour in her chamber,
she comes to me in her hood, and begs
I will take her a walk to dispel her va
pors. So we out across the common, it
being a fine, brisk, dry morning and the
ground hard with a frost. Here, being
secure from observation, I showed her
how I had settled matters with Mr.
, Godwin, dividing the estate in such a
manner as would enable her to draw
what funds she pleased, without let,
hindrance or any inconvenient question.
At this she draws a deep sigh, fixing
her eyes sadly enough on the perspective,
' as if she were thinking rather of her ab
sent lover than the business in hand.
, Somewhat nettled to find she prized my
efforts on her behalf so lightly, I pro
ceeded to show her the advantages of
this arrangement, adding that, to make
her property the surer, I had consented
to manago both her affairs and Mr. God
win's when they were married.
' "And so," says I in conclusion, "you
may have what money yon want and
dispose of it as yon will, and I'll answer
for it Mr. Godwin shall never be a penny
the wiser."
J ' Do what you find is necessary, ' ' says
... j.acmmi. uut lor mercy's
sake say no more on this matter to me.
For all the.se hints do stab my heart like
eharp knives."
Not reading rightly the cause of her
petulance, I was at first disposed to re
sent it, but' reflecting that a maiden is
no more responsible for her tongue than
a donkey for his heels in this season of
life, bat both must be forever a flying
out at some one when parted from the
object of their affections, I held my
peace, and so we walked on in sullen
silence for a space; then, turning sud
denly npon me, she cries in a trembling
voice: . .
" Won't you say something to me?
Can't yon see that I am unhappy?"
And now, seeing her eyes full of
tears, her lips quivering and her face
drawn with pain, my heart melted in a
moment, so taking her arm under mine
and pressing it to my side I bade her be
of good cheer, for her lover would re
turn in a day or two at the outside.
"No; not of him not of him I" she
entreats. "Talk to me of indifferent
things."
So, thinking to turn her thoughts to
another furrow, I told her how I had
been to visit her father at Greenwich.
"My father 1" says she, stopping short
"Oh, what a heartless, selfish creature
am 1 1 I have not thonght" of him in my
happiness! Nay, had he been dead I
could not have forgot him more. You
saw him. Is he well?"
"As hearty as you could wish and
full of love for you and rejoiced beyond
measure to know yon are to marry a
brave, honest gentleman." Then I told
how we had drunk to their health, and
how her father had smashed his' mug
for a fancy, and this bringing a smile to
her cheek I went on to tell how he crav
ed to see Mr. Godwin and grip his hand.
"Oh, if he could see what a noble,
handsome man my Richard is!" she
cried. "I do think my heart would ache
for pride."
" Why, so it shall, " says I, "for yonr
father does intend to come hither before
long."
"He is coming to see my dear hus
bandi" says she, her face aglow with
joy,
"Aye, but he does promise to be most
circumspect and appear as if, returning
from a voyage, he had come but to see
how you fare and will stay ao longer
than is reasonably civil. " '
"Only that," says she, her counte
nance falling again, "we are to hide
our love, pretend indifference, behave
toward kthis dear father as if he were
naught to me but a friend. "
"My dear," says I, " 'tis no new part
yon have to play."
"I know it," she answers hotly, "bnt
that makes it only the worse. "
"Well, what would you?"
"Anything, " with passion. "I would
do anything but cheat and cozen the
man I love." Then, after some mo
ments' silence o' both sides, "Oh, if I
were really Judith Godwin !"
"If you were she, you'd be in Barba
ry now and have neither father nor
lover. Is that what you want?" 6ays I,
with some impatience.
"Bear with me," says she, with a
humility as strange in her as those new
born scruples of conscience.
"You may bo sure of this, my dear,"
says I in a gentler tone. 'If you were
anything but what you are, Mr. God
win would not marry you. "
"Why, then, not tell him what I
am?" asks she boldly.
"That means that you would be to
morrow what you're not today. "
"If he told me he had dono wrong, I
could forgive him and love him none
the less. "
"Your conditions are not the same.
He is a gentleman by birth ; you but a
player's daughter. Come, child, be rea
sonable. Ponder this matter but a mo
ment justly, and you shall see that you
have all to lose and naught to gain by
yielding to this idle fancy. Is he lack
ing in affection that you would seek
to stimulate his love by this hazardous
experiment?"
"Oh, no, no, no!" cries 6he.
"Would he be happisr knowing all?"
She shakes her head. "Happier if you

oiner wire.'' sue starts as if flicked
with a whip. "Would you be happier
stripped of your poHstsious, cast out of
your hotiw), to rly from justice with
your father?" She looks at me in pale
terror. "Why, then, there's nothing to
be won, and what's to lose? The love of
a noble, honest gentleman, the joy of
raising him from penury."
"Oh, say no more," cries she in pas
sion. "I know not what madness pos
sessed me to overlook such consequences.
I kiss you for bringing me to my senses"
(with that she catches np my hand and
presses her lips to it again and again).
"Look in my face," cries she, "and if
yon find a lurking vestige of irresolu
tion there, I'll tear it out "
Indeed I could see nothing but set de
termination there, a most hard expres
sion of fixed resolve, that seemed to age
her by ten years, astonishing me not less
than those other phases in her rapidly
developing character.
"Now," says she quickly, and with
not a note of her repining tone, "what
was that yon spoke of lately? Yon are
to be our steward?"
"Yes," says I, "for Mr. Godwin has
declared most firmly that the moment
he has authority he will cast Simon out
for his disloyalty. "
"I will not leave that ungrateful duty
to him," says she. "Take me to this
wretch at once and choose the shortest
path."
I led her back across the common, and
coming to Simon's lodge she herself
knocked loudly at the door.
Seeing who it was through his little
grating, Simon quickly opens the door,
and with fawning humility entreats her
to step into his poor room, and there he
stands, cringing and mopping his eyes
in dreadful apprehension, as having
doubtless gathered from some about the
house how matters stood betwixt Moll
and Mr. Godwin.
"Where are your keys?" demands
Moll in a very hard, merciless voice.
Perceiving how the land lay and find
ing himself thus beset old Simon falls to
his usual artifices, turning this way and
that, like a rat in a pit, to find some:
hole for escape. First he feigns td mis
understand; then, clapping his "bauds in
his pockets, he knows not where he can
have laid them, and after that fancies he
must have given them to his man Peter,
who is gone" out of an errand, etc. , un
til Moll, losing patience, cut him short
by declaring the loss of the keys unim
portant, as doubtless a locksmith could
be found to open his boxes and drawers
without 'em.
"My chief requirement is," adds she,
"that you leave this house forthwith
and return no more. "
Upon this, finding further evasion im
possible, the old man turns to bay and
asks upon what grounds she would dis
miss him without writ or warrant.
" 'Tis sufficient," returns she, "that
this house is mine, and that I will not
have you a day longer for my tenant or
my servant. If you dispute my claim,
as I am told you do, yon may take what
lawful means you please to dispossess
me of my estate and at the same time
redress what wrong is done you. "
Seeing his secret treachery discovered,
Simon falls now to his whining arts,
telling once more of his constant toil to
enrich her, his thrift and self denial
nay, he even carries it so far as to show
that he did but incite Mr. Godwin to
dispute her title to the estate, that
thereby her claim should be justified be
fore the law to the obtaining of her suc
cession without further delay, and at
the expense of her cousin, which did
surpass anything I had ever heard of
for artfulness. But this only incensed
Moll the more.
"What!" cries she. "You would
make bad blood between two cousins,
to the ruin and disgrace of one, merely
to save the expense of some beggarly
fees 1 I'll hear no more. Go at once, or
I will send for my servants to carry you
out by force. "
He stood some moments in delibera
tion, and then he says, with a certain
dignity unusual to him, "I will go."
Then he casts his eye slowly round the
room, with a lingering regard for his
piles of documents and precious boxes
of title deeds,. as if he were bidding a '
last farewell to all that was dear to
him on earth, and grotesque as his ap
pearance might be there was yet some
thing pathetic in it. But even at this
1 moment his ruling passion prevailed.
I "There is no need," says he, "to
burst these goodly locks by force. I do
bethink me the keys are here" opening
a drawer and laying them upon the ta
ble. Then, dropping his head, he goes.
' slowlv to the door, but there he turns,
lifting his head and fixing his rheumy
eyes on Moll. "I will take nothing
fom this house, not even the chattels
(hat belong to me, bought from the
mean wage I have allowed myself. So
shalt thou judge of my honesty. They
shall stand here till I return, for that I
shall return I am as fully persuaded as
"Where are your keysf demands Moll.
that a just God doth dispose of his
creatures. Thee hast might on thyside,
woman, bnt whether thee hast right as
well shall yet be proven, not by the
laws of man. which are an invnM
1
tne aevu to ratten rogues npon the sub
stance of fools, but by the Lw of heav
en, to which I do appeal with all my
soul," lifting high his shaking hands.
"Morning and night I will pray that
God shall smite with heavy hand which
of us two hath most wronged the other.
Offer the same prayer, if thee darest. "
I do confess that this parting shot
went home to my conscience and trou
bled my mind considerably, for, feeling
that he was in the right of it as regard
ed onr relative honesty, I was con
strained to think that his prophecy
might come true also to our shame and
undoing. But Moll was afflicted with
no such qualms, her spirit being very
combative and high, and her conscience,
such as it was, being hardened by our
late discussion to resist sharper slaps
than this. Nay, maintaining that Si
mon mnst be dishonest by the proof we
had of his hypocrisy and double dealing,
she would have me enter npon my office
at once by sending letters to all her ten
ants) warning them to pay no rent to
any one lately in her service, but only
to me, and these letters, which kept my
pen going all that afternoon, she signed
with the name of Judith Godwin, which
seemed to me a very bold, dangerous
piece of business, but she would have it
so and did her signature with a strong
hand and a flourish of loops beneath
like any queen.
Nor was this all, for the next morn
ing she would have me go to that Mr.
Goodman who had offered to buy her
farm for ready money and get what I
could from him, seeing that she must
furnish herself with her gowns and
make other outlay for her coming mar
riage. So to him I go, and after much
haggling, having learned from Simon
that the land was worth more than he
offered for it, I brought him to give
6,000 instead of 5,000, and this was
better business on his side than on mine
at that, for that the bargain might not
slip from his hands he would have me
take 3,000 down as a handsel, leaving
the rest to be paid when the deed of
transference was drawn up.
And now as I jogged home with all
this gold clinking in my pockets I did
feel that I had thrust my head fairly
into a halter and no chance left of
drawing it out. Look at it how I might,
this business wore a most evil aspect, to
be sure. Nor could I regard myself as
anything bnt a thorough faced rogue.
"For," .thinks I, "if old Simon's
prayer be answered, what will become
of this poor Mr. Goodman? His title
deeds will be wrested from him, for
they are but stolen goods he is paying
for, and thus an innocent, honest man
will be utterly ruined. And for doing
this villainy I may count myself lucky
if my heels save my neck. "
With this weight on my mind I re
solved to be very watchful and careful of
my safety, and before I fell asleep that
night I had devised a dozen schemes for
making good my escape as soon as I per
ceived danger. Nevertheless I could
dream of nothing but prisons, scourg
ings, etc. , and in every vision I perceiv
ed old Simon in his leather skullcap sit
ting on the top of Tyburn tree, with his
handkercher a-hanging down ready to
strangle me.
