Meantime Cox had gone home from his office and told his wife all about the strange thing that had happened, and they had talked it over eagerly, and guessed that the late Goodson was the only man in the town who could have helped a suffering stranger with so noble a sum as twenty dollars. Then there was a pause, and the two became thoughtful and silent. And by- and-by nervous and fidgety.
At this stage or at about this stage a saying like this was dropped at bedtime with a sigh, usually by the head of each of the nineteen principal households: "Ah, what could have been the remark that Goodson made?" And straightway with a shudder came this, from the man's wife: "Oh, don't! What horrible thing are you mulling in your mind? Put it away from you, for God's sake!"
It is not surprising that upon her return to London Miss Goodson made a profound impression upon the musical public and laid the foundation for a splendid reputation. She toured in England, Germany, Austria and America with great success.
He was expecting that there might be one claimant for the sack doubtful, however, Goodson being dead but it never occurred to him that all this crowd might be claimants. When the great Friday came at last, he found that he had nineteen envelopes. The town-hall had never looked finer.
At last the wife looked up and said: "I know what you are thinking, Edward." Richards had the embarrassed look of a person who is caught. "I am ashamed to confess it, Mary, but " "It's no matter, Edward, I was thinking the same question myself." "I hope so. State it." "You were thinking, if a body could only guess out what the remark was that Goodson made to the stranger." "It's perfectly true.
Contrasted with a type of this kind may be mentioned such men as Sauer, Rachmaninov, d'Albert, Paderewski, Godowsky, Bachaus, Rosenthal, Pauer, Joseffy, Stojowski, Scharwenka, Gabrilowitsch, Hofmann, Bauer, Lhévinne, to say nothing of the ladies, Bloomfield-Zeisler, Carreño, Goodson, et al., many of whom are intellectual giants.
When Myngs reached England he lodged counter-complaints against Governor Doyley, Burough, the steward-general, and Vice-Admiral Goodson, alleging that they received more than their share of the prize money; and a war of mutual recrimination followed. Amid the distractions of the Restoration, however, little seems ever to have been made of the matter in England.
Goodson, however, was after larger prey, no less than the galleons or a Spanish town upon the mainland. He did not know where the galleons were, but at the end of July he seems to have been lying with eight vessels before Cartagena and Porto Bello, and on 22nd November he sent Captain Blake with nine ships to the same coast to intercept all vessels going thither from Spain or elsewhere.
This "design" was an expedition to capture and destroy St. Jago de Cuba, the Spanish port nearest to Jamaican shores. An attack upon St. Jago had been projected by Goodson as far back as 1655. "The Admiral," wrote Major Sedgwick to Thurloe just after his arrival in Jamaica, "was intended before our coming in to have taken some few soldiers and gone over to St.
Yes, he remembered now, and with unwelcome vividness, that Goodson had told him to go to thunder and mind his own business he wasn't hankering to follow Hadleyburg to heaven! So that solution was a failure he hadn't saved Goodson's soul. Richards was discouraged. Then after a little came another idea: had he saved Goodson's property? No, that wouldn't do he hadn't any. His life? That is it!
