At Dorpat in May, 1849, the planet being within 3° 26' of inferior conjunction, Mädler found the arms of waning light upon the disc to embrace no less than 240° of its extent; and in December, 1842, Mr. Guthrie, of Bervie, N.B., actually observed, under similar conditions, the whole circumference to be lit up with a faint nebulous glow. The same curious phenomenon was intermittently seen by Mr.
"I hear you have called to bid us good-by," she said to Bervie. "Is it to be a long absence?" "I have got two months' leave," the Captain answered, without looking at her while he spoke. "Are you going abroad?" "Yes. I think so." She turned away to her mother. Bervie seized the opportunity of speaking to Percy. "I have a word of advice for your private ear."
"I ran away with the bride," Bervie said coolly, "in the certain knowledge that you and Mr. Bowmore would run after me. If I had not forced you both to follow me out of England on the first of April, you would have been made State prisoners on the second. What do you say to my conduct now?" "Wait, Percy, before you answer him," Mr. Bowmore interposed. "He is ready enough at excusing himself.
"One of them was his son, the Captain; one was his daughter, Miss Bervie; and the third was that smooth-tongued old soldier, Major Mulvany. If the escape of Mr. Bowmore and Mr. Linwood is in contemplation, mark my words: the persons whom I have just mentioned will be concerned in it and perhaps Miss Charlotte herself as well.
It was useless to talk to him. He deliberately checked any further attempts at conversation by leaning back in the carriage, and closing his eyes. The truth is, Mr. Bowmore's own language and conduct were insensibly producing the salutary impression on Percy's mind which Bervie had vainly tried to convey, under the disadvantage of having Charlotte's influence against him.
No disguise had been attempted; no person had in any case been bribed to conceal the truth. When the first tumult of his emotions had in some degree subsided, this strange circumstance associated itself in Percy's mind with the equally unaccountable conduct of Justice Bervie, on his arrival at the manor house.
Bowmore accompanied Captain Bervie and Miss Bervie on their way back to England, as far as Boulogne. In that pleasant town the banished patriot set up his tent. It was a cheaper place to live in than Paris, and it was conveniently close to England, when he had quite made up his mind whether to be an exile on the Continent, or to go back to his own country and be a martyr in prison.
"Oh! And how came the master to hear of you?" "I advertised; and Mr. Bowmore answered my advertisement." Bervie looked hard at the man for a moment, and then joined Percy at the carriage door. The two gentlemen started for London. "What do you think of Mr. Bowmore's new servant?" asked the Captain as they drove away from the cottage. "I don't like the look of the fellow."
Men in blouses and men in uniform lay dead and dying together: the tricolored flag waved over them, in token of the victory of the people. Bervie had just revived a poor wretch with a drink from an overthrown bowl of water, which still had a few drops left in it, when he felt a hand laid on his shoulder from behind.
But, observe he hasn't a word to say in justification of my daughter's readiness to run away with him." "Have you quite done?" Bervie asked, as quietly as ever. Mr. Bowmore reserved the right of all others which he most prized, the right of using his tongue. "For the present," he answered in his loftiest manner, "I have done."
