Bradly, and two fat, chubby-faced children; and I do not think I ever enjoyed so pleasant a meal in my life. "After dinner was over, Mr. Bradly took me all through his house, which was new. He had just built it, and furnished it with every convenience that a man in mode. rate circumstances could desire. I was pleased with everything I saw, and praised everything with a hearty good will.
"I'll go with pleasure; and don't say a word about the expenses, for I shall feel it to be a privilege to give that little trouble and money if I can only lend a helping hand in settling poor Lydia in a better place than her own home, poor thing." Three days after the above conversation Bradly called again at the vicarage, by Mr Maltby's request. "All is arranged, Thomas," said the vicar.
I saw her for a few minutes, an hour ago, in the garden; and, as near as I could gather from her confused statement, the facts are these: Lieutenant Bradly that's the naval officer stationed at Rivermouth has been paying court to Miss Daw for some time past, but not so much to her liking as to that of the colonel, who it seems is an old fiend of the young gentleman's father.
My cousin, Molly Bradly, was four years older than I; and her mother had taken such pains in her education, that the understood more than most girls of her age; and had so much liveliness, good humour, and ingenuity, that everybody was fond of her; and wherever we went together, all the notice was taken of my cousin, and I was very little regarded.
"No," was Bradly's reply; "I mend broken hearts, and put drunkards' homes into their proper places when they've got out of joint." "Indeed! You'll be clever to do that, Tommy." "Ah! You don't know, Bill. P'raps you'll come and try my skill yourself afore long." The other turned away with a scornful laugh and a gibe; but the arrow had hit its mark. But, indeed, what Thomas Bradly said was true.
So I've come to tell you, Thomas Bradly, for there's mischief of some sort up, I'll be bound." Bradly did not answer, but for a time a deep shade of anxiety settled on his features. But after a while the shadow passed away. "James," he said earnestly, "I can't believe as there's anything wrong in this matter in William Foster.
"Now, that's what I call a damned good fellow: you don't often meet a chap like him," observed the master. Captain Bradshaw felt that he was indirectly called a chap, which did not please him. "Mr Bradly, will you take some mutton?" "If you please," said the master. "Roberts, I'll trouble you to carve the saddle of mutton."
But, poor, wretched, misguided creature, her triumphing was short indeed." Before she could say more, Bradly placed in her hands Hollands' letter of explanation. She read it through slowly and carefully; and then, laying it down, leaned her head on her hand, while her tears fell fast. "O Thomas," she said, after a while, "what a terrible trial your sister's must have been!
So saying, Lady Morville rang the bell, and having ordered some refreshment for Thomas Bradly, asked him to wait while she went to her own room and wrote Jane a letter. In half an hour she returned, and, having given the letter into Bradly's charge, said,
Not much to the surprise, though still somewhat to the disappointment, of brother and sister, no application was made for the reward by the middle of June, and Bradly was obliged to confess to his sister that, every effort having now been made, without success, to recover the bag, he could do no more. To his great surprise and relief, Jane heard him with a cheerful smile.
