"I must get the ring off," he muttered, "and the cloak, somehow. Oh! if I could only find out how There was that other chap he got off; she said as much. If I could get out how he managed it, why couldn't I do the same? But who's to tell me? She won't not if she knows it! I wonder if it's in any history. Old Freemoult would know it if it was he's such a scholar.
Freemoult burst out. "I'm a scholar, and gentleman enough still to drink at my own expense!" "I intended no offence, I'm sure, sir; it was only meant in a friendly way." "That is the offence, sir; that is the offence! But, there, we'll say no more about it; you can't help your profession, and I can't help my prejudices. What was it you wanted to ask me?" Do you happen to have heard tell of her?"
Why, he gave me a name for that 'airwash without having to think twice over it! I'll try and pump old Freemoult. I'll do it to-morrow, too. I'll see if I'm to be domineered over by a image out of a tea-garden. Eh? I I don't care if she did hear me!" So Leander went to his troubled pillow, full of this new resolution, which seemed to promise a way of escape.
Freemoult, sir; it's most instructive. I'm attending." But the old gentleman, after a manner he had, was sunk in a dreamy abstraction for the moment, in which he apparently lost the thread, as he resumed, "Whereupon Zeus, to punish her, gave her in wedlock to his deformed son, Hephæstus."
Freemoult," said the reckless hairdresser, "if you can't give me no better value, I don't mind laying out another sixpence in questions." "Put your questions, then, by all means; and I'll give you your fair sixpenn'orth of answers. Now, then, I'm ready for you. What's your difficulty? Out with it." I I can't remember how it ended, myself."
"Some, when they take Revenge, are Desirous the party should know whence it cometh: This is the more Generous." In the Tottenham Court Road was a certain Commercial Dining-room, where Leander occasionally took his evening meal, after the conclusion of his day's work, and where Mr. Freemoult was accustomed to take his supper, on leaving the British Museum Library.
"She never mentioned him to me," thought Leander; "but I suppose she's a widow goddess by this time; I'm sure I hope so." "Whom," Mr. Freemoult was saying, "she deceived upon several occasions, notably in the case of " And here he launched into a scandalous chronicle, which determined Leander more than ever that Matilda must never know he had entertained a personage with such a past.
He gained a living, however, by hackwork of various descriptions, and was in slightly better circumstances than he allowed to appear. As he passed slowly along the central passage, in his usual state of abstraction, Leander touched him eagerly on the sleeve. "Come in 'ere, Mr. Freemoult, sir," he said; "there's room in this box." "It's the barber, is it?" said the old man.
"I don't care, of course. I was only thinking that, in case but there, it's no odds! Well, Mr. Freemoult, you've told me what I was curious to know, and here's your little honnyrarium, sir two shillings and two sixpences, making three shillings in all, pre-cisely." "Keep your money, sir," said the old man, with contemptuous good humour.
"What do you want me to eat with you for, eh?" "Why, for the pleasure of your company, sir, of course," said Leander, politely. "Well," said the old gentleman, sitting down, while documents bristled out of him in all directions, "there are not many who would say that not many now." "Don't you say so, Mr. Freemoult, sir. I'm sure it's a benefit, if only for your conversation.
