Julian visited the disconsolate damsel, in hopes of gaining some light upon Bridgenorth's projects regarding his daughter the character of this Ganlesse and other matters, with which her residence in the family might have made her acquainted; but he found her by far too much troubled in mind to afford him the least information.
"I tell you I have not," answered Ganlesse; "but you will think of nought but your own thriving occupation May the plague that belongs to it stick to it! though it hath been the making of thee." "A man must live, Diccon Ganlesse," said the other. "Well, well," said Ganlesse, "bid my friend welcome, for my sake. Hast thou got any supper?" "Reeking like a sacrifice Chaubert has done his best.
"But, my friend Smith," he added, "are your wines curious? When you brought all that trash of plates and trumpery into Derbyshire, I hope you did not leave us at the mercy of the strong ale of the shire, as thick and muddy as the squires who drink it?" "Did I not know that you were to meet me, Dick Ganlesse?" answered their host. "And can you suspect me of such an omission?
"Nay," answered the speaker, who was the same individual that had struck Julian by his resemblance to the man who called himself Ganlesse, "I love a dire revenge, but we shall buy it somewhat too dear if these rascals set the house on fire, as they are like to do, while you are parleying from the window.
"Be it as you list, young man," answered Ganlesse; "only remember hereafter, you had a fair offer it is not every one to whom I would have made it. If we should meet hereafter, on other, and on worse terms, impute it to yourself and not to me." "I understand not your threat," answered Peveril, "If a threat be indeed implied.
To which Ganlesse answered, in the same tone and tune, "Content thee, kind Robin; He need little care, Who brings home a fat buck Instead of a hare." "You have missed your blow, then?" said the other, in reply.
"Again I should ask your forgiveness," said Julian, "for meddling where I have little right to interfere. But I saw a face here that is known to me the person calls himself Ganlesse Is it with him that you mean to entrust your daughter?" "Even to the person who call himself Ganlesse," said Bridgenorth, without expressing either anger or surprise.
"How mean you by that phrase?" said Julian; "and why apply such a title to me?" The stranger smiled, and only answered, "Here our conference ends. The way is before you. You will find it longer and rougher than that by which I would have guided you." So saying, Ganlesse turned his back and walked toward the house.
"And who yet was the basest of women," answered Bridgenorth; "but he who selected her for the charge was deceived in her character." "Say rather you were deceived in his; remember that when we parted in Moultrassie, I warned you of that Ganlesse that " "I know your meaning," said Bridgenorth; "nor did you err in describing him as a worldly-wise man.
A hum of stern assent followed; and had not Ganlesse now interfered, the combat would probably have been renewed.
