His Lordship left at Hesketh's his last two months' pay, received this month, and also two months' pay for Captain Crosbie. Paid other officers and men two months' pay. 6th. Employed in sorting the paper money in the small iron chest. Found its contents to be only 16,000 dollars. 8th. Officers having been paid, the men received to-day two months' pay. 9th. February 10th.
The audience received it with respect Hesketh's own respect was so marked but with misapprehension; there had been too many allusions to the nobility for a community so far removed from its soothing influence. "Had ye no friends among the commoners?" suddenly spoke up a dry old fellow, stroking a long white beard; and the roar that greeted this showed the sense of the meeting.

Hesketh confessed, declared, that Murchison had brought him round; and Lorne surveyed this achievement with a thrill of the happiest triumph.
He seemed to hear Molly Hesketh's voice, soft, ironical, upbraiding Sir Thorald; he seemed to see them all there in the sunshine Dorothy, Rickerl, Cecil, Betty Castlemaine he even saw himself strolling up to them, gun under arm, while Sir Thorald waved his wine-cup and bantered him. He looked at the river.
But it's all right the subject isn't," Lorne said quietly; and Hesketh's exclamations and inquiries brought out the morning's reverse. The young Englishman was cordially sorry, full of concern and personal disappointment, abandoning his own absorbing affairs, and devoting his whole attention to the unfortunate exigency which Lorne dragged out of his breast, in pure manfulness, to lay before him.
