He did not speak a word, but at the appearance of Podge Byerly drew out the ancient ivory tablets and wrote: "I'll never speak again until you accept or refuse me." She answered, "What are you going to do if I say no?" "I have bought two tickets for Europe," wrote Duff Salter. "One is for you, if you will accept it. If not I shall go alone and be deaf for the remainder of my days."
William Byerly died last week in Birmingham; thee's heard of him, he had a wonderful gift of preaching. They say Maryland cattle will be cheap, this fall: does Alfred intend to fatten many? I saw him riding towards New-Garden." "I guess he will," the old man answered, "must make somethin' out o' the farm. That pastur'-bottom ought to bring more than it does."
"You will find no lack of provisions, depend upon it, in Monsieur Plessis's house." "One moment, sir," said the Duke, stopping him as he was going: "have I not seen your face before?" "Long ago, sir, long ago," replied the Captain. "I had the honour of commanding a troop, sir, in your regiment, during all that sad business in Ireland Byerly is my name."
Master Plessis, I leave the horse with you: he never was worth ten pounds, and now he's not worth five; so you may sell him to pay for my entertainment." Bowing to the very ground from various feelings of respect, French, English, and Jacobite, Plessis took a candle and lighted the Duke down stairs, while Wilton followed, accompanied by Laura and Captain Byerly.

In the front parlor, ready for an inquest or an undertaker, lay the late master of the place, laid out, and all the visitors departed except his housekeeper, Agnes, and her friend, "Podge" Byerly. The latter was a sunny-haired and nimble little lady, under twenty years of age, who taught in one of the public schools and boarded with her former school-mate, Agnes Wilt.
Even old Silas Van de Lear looked over the top of the pulpit and smiled, but, luckily, Duff Salter could hardly hear his own sneezes. As they left the church Agnes put down her veil, and trembled under the stare of a hundred investigating critics. When they were in the street, Podge Byerly remarked: "Oh! that we had a man to resent such meanness as that.
"You must want to be the subject of a coroner's inquest. That house is bloody and haunted, rich Mr. Duff Salter! Beware of Lady Agnes, the murderess! Beware, too, of her accomplice, the insinuating little Byerly!" Duff Salter walked out one day to make the tour of Kensington.
It is so demoralizing to take these working-girls, shop-girls and school-teachers, in where religious influences had prevailed! They became inseparable; Agnes had to entertain such company as Miss Byerly brought there, and it produced a lowering of tone. She looked around her suddenly when these crimes were found out, and all her old mature friends were gone.
I am back to London with all speed, and not a point of this will be ever known." "Come hither, then, come hither, Byerly," said Green, leading him away; "we must see the contents of the bag, take what we want, and dispose of the rest.
