They were not returned to the State until after the Committee had disbanded. The next who suffered death at the hands of the Committee were Hetherington and Brace. Hetherington was an Englishman, a man of considerable wealth. He was six feet stature, of heavy form, strong in muscular power, equally so in will and purpose; and he was overbearing in his nature, violent in his passions.
For weeks past every one had known of his eagerness to get home, in order to conduct certain matrimonial projects to the "Yes or No" stage. Leave to England was going nicely now. Dumble, young Beale, Judd, and Hetherington were away, and the men were going at the rate of five per day.
'You seem so entirely to belong to Hetherington that I scarcely knew the place without you. There was something that particularly pleased Lily in the manner in which Miss Aylmer answered. Florence talked a little while, and then proposed to adjourn to the supplementary drawing-room the lawn where the company were already assembling.
"Hetherington!... do not, I implore you, say another word to me on the subject.
"I should say we would!" declared Frank decisively. "Well," said Lord Hastings, "I have no doubt that it can be arranged. I shall speak to Captain Dreyfuss at once." "Is Lieutenant Hetherington alive?" asked Jack suddenly. "No," replied Lord Hastings sadly, "we three are the sole survivors of the Sylph." "But what are you doing in these waters?" demanded Frank.
He owned up, and as it was useless to fight extradition he came back with Hetherington and after trial paid the penalty for his crime. But think of the endless patience and doggedness of Hetherington, who, with only a scrap of handwriting on a fragment of paper, searched for months, day and night, over half a continent for similar letter formations till he landed his man.
As she was going down the street again rather aimlessly she caught sight of Mrs. Hetherington and Mr. Peters coming out of a restaurant, and was reminded forcibly of Jimmy who would be alone in the drizzling rain on board. Buying a great box of chocolates, a basket of peaches and a clockwork train she hurried back to the ship, feeling very wealthy. It was a dreary day.
'It will be like the old days, when every birthday of yours was a happy day for the people at Hetherington, said Emily. 'Ah! those were happy old days, said Lord Rotherwood, in a graver tone. 'These are happy days, are not they? said Lily, smiling.
Several great political reforms were achieved in the interval. A Reform Bill was carried. Catholics and Jews were emancipated, and freedom and cheapness of the press were won by the untameable courage of men like Carlile, Hetherington, Lovett, and Watson. But quietude reigned in the higher spheres of literature.
Jane only hoped that Emily would not look out of the window, or she would certainly go into fits on seeing them arrive with the old phaeton, the thick-legged cart-horse, and Wat Greenwood for a driver; and Reginald, after much growling at Maurice, much bawling at William's door, and, as Jane said, romping and roaring in all parts of the house, was forced to be resigned to his fate, and all the way to Hetherington held a very amusing conversation with his good-natured friend the keeper.
