Trust to me, and I will secure your flight." "I cannot I dare not," cried Amabel, resisting him with all her force. "You must come," cried Wyvil, dragging her along. As he spoke, Mrs. Bloundel, who had been down to Blaize's room to ascertain what was the matter, returned. Trying the door, and finding it fastened, she became greatly alarmed, and called to Amabel to open it directly.
A few minutes afterwards, Bloundel returned with the watch, and was greatly enraged when he found that the prisoner had got off. No longer doubting that he had been robbed of his daughter by the Earl of Rochester, he could not make up his mind to abandon her to her fate, and his conflicting feelings occasioned him a night of indescribable anxiety.
A poor young woman, who had been brought to the pest-house with her child on the previous evening, had just expired, and the infant, unable to obtain its customary nourishment, uttered the most piteous cries. It was instantly removed by a nurse and proper food given it; but Mr. Bloundel was informed that the plague-tokens had already appeared, and that it would not probably live over the night.
This she intended to reveal at a more fitting opportunity. The doctor expressed somewhat emphatically his disapproval of the conduct of Mr. Bloundel, but promised to set all to rights without loss of time.
"I do not mistrust you, brother," observed Solomon Eagle, giving him the key. "I know whither you are going," observed Judith Malmayns. "You are about to warn Mr. Bloundel and his partner apprentice no longer Leonard Holt, of the approaching conflagration. But your care will be thrown away."
As this person drew near, he recognised Pillichody, and would have got out of his way had it been possible. "You are looking for your apprentice, I understand, Mr. Bloundel," said the bully, raising his hat "if you desire, it, I will lead you to him."
Bloundel and Leonard then returned to the shop, where the former immediately began to make preparations for storing his house; and in the prosecution of his scheme he was greatly aided by the apprentice. The grocer's dwelling, as has been stated, was large and commodious. It was three stories high; and beneath the ground-floor there were kitchens and extensive cellars.
And disengaging herself from him, and hastily passing her father, who at that moment entered the kitchen, she rushed upstairs. On hearing the alarm of the grocer's approach, Pillichody took refuge in a cupboard, the door of which stood invitingly open, so that Bloundel only perceived the earl. "What is the matter?" he cried, gazing around him. "Whom have we here?"
She is beset by the handsomest and most fascinating man of the day by one understood to be practised in all the arts most dangerous to our sex and a nobleman to boot. Some allowance must be made for her." "I will make none," rejoined Bloundel, austerely.
Robberies, murders, and other crimes, have greatly increased, and the most dreadful deeds are now committed with impunity. You have done wisely, sir, in protecting yourself against them." "I have reason to be thankful that I have done so," replied Bloundel. And he closed his shutter to meditate on what he had just heard. And there was abundant food for reflection.
