He commenced eating and narrating until the respective appetites of Mrs Beazeley and himself were equally appeased, and then set off for the abode of Robertson, to ascertain the fate of the infant. How different was the scene from that of the night before!
I did it, however, with feelings of mortification which I cannot express. I felt humiliation I felt that, for my own wants, that money I never could touch. Still my explanation had the effect of removing the doubts even of Mrs Beazeley, and harmony was restored. The money was accepted by the old couple, and promised to be applied for the purpose intended.
There was a parlour also, seldom used; both of the inmates, when they did meet, which was not above a day or two in three weeks, during the time that old Beazeley was in charge of the lighter, preferring comfort to grandeur. In this isolated house, upon this isolated spot, did Mrs Beazeley pass a life of most isolation.
Jackson Beazeley, widow, of the village of Campbellton, Kansas, wrote me about a matter which was near her heart a matter which many might think trivial, but to her it was a thing of deep concern. I was living in Michigan, then serving in the ministry. She was, and is, an estimable woman a woman to whom poverty and hardship have proven incentives to industry, in place of discouragements.
He desired me to say that he should call here to-morrow afternoon, and I begged him to stay the evening, as you are to have two more of your friends here. Now, who do you think are those?" "I have no others, except old Tom Beazeley and his son."
We return to Mrs Beazeley, who continued "Why, it's nine o'clock, Mr Forster, and a nice fresh morning it is too, after last night's tempest. And pray what did you hear and see, sir?" continued the old woman, opening the shutters, and admitting a blaze of sunshine, as if determined that at all events he should now both hear and see. "I'll tell you all, Mrs Beazeley, when I am dressed.
When I went home Mary told me that Tom Beazeley had been there, that his wherry was building, that his father had given up the lighter, and was now on shore very busy in getting up his board to attract customers, and obtain work in his new occupation. I had not launched my wherry the next morning when down came the young gentleman to whom I had despatched the letter.
I had letters from Mr Drummond and Mr Turnbull, telling me that they would immediately apply to the Admiralty for our being liberated, and one from Mary, half of which was for me, and the rest to Tom. Stapleton had taken Tom's wherry and pulled down to old Tom Beazeley with my clothes, which, with young Tom's, had been despatched to Deal.
Such was the force of habit, I could not do without one; and half my time was spent upon the river, pulling every day down to Mr Drummond's, and returning in the evening, or late at night. Thus passed away two months, during which I occasionally saw the Dominie, the Stapletons, and old Tom Beazeley.
Why should I leave so soon? I'm not afraid of being here, or lying by his side alone: I've seen other people die. I saw Mrs Beazeley die I saw poor Faithful die; and now, they all are dead," said Amber, bursting into tears, and burying her face in William Aveleyn's bosom.
