Had Feltram in some of his solitary wanderings and potterings lighted upon hidden treasure? There was a story of two Feltrams of Cloostedd, brothers, who had joined the king's army and fought at Marston Moor, having buried in Cloostedd Wood a great deal of gold and plate and jewels. They had, it was said, intrusted one tried servant with the secret; and that servant remained at home.
I have been unhappy ever since; and if I only knew it was well with poor Philip, I think I should be too happy. And where is Philip now?" "He crossed the lake one night, having took leave of Sir Bale. They thought he was going to old Trebeck's up the Fells. He likes the Feltrams, and likes the folk at Mardykes Hall though those two families was not always o'er kind to one another.
I hope I did right; it was not wrong bringing them here? I ought to have asked. Are you vexed, Bale?" "Vexed! not I. I only wish it was in the fire. I must have seen that picture when I was a child. I hate to look at it. I raved about it once, when I was ill. I don't know who it is; I don't remember when I saw it. I wish you'd tell them to burn it." "It is one of the Feltrams," she answered.
"And on the opposite side of the lake," continued Doctor Torvey, "there is a building that contrasts very well with it the old house of the Feltrams quite a ruin now, at the mouth of the glen Cloostedd House, a very picturesque object." "Exactly opposite," said the stranger dreamily, but whether in the tone of acquiescence or interrogatory, the Doctor could not be quite sure.
Right across to the storied woods of Cloostedd, and the old domains of the Feltrams, this view extended. Thus alone, their mufflers still on, their hands clasped in hers, they breathlessly listened to her strange tale.
The image of the nursery-tale had now recurred to Sir Bale after so long a reach of years; and the only imaginable way, in his mind, of accounting for penniless Philip Feltram having all that gold in his possession was that, in some of his lonely wanderings, chance had led him to the undiscovered hoard of the two Feltrams who had died in the great civil wars.
"The Feltrams and the Mardykes was sib, ye know; and that made what passed in the misfortune o' that young lady spoken of all the harder; and this young man ye speak of is a grandson o' the lad that was put here in care o' my grandfather." "Great-grandson. His father was grandson," said Mr. Peers; "he held a commission in the army and died in the West Indies.
