And that is why it did me good, sir, to see him a pedlar a common pedlar fallen into the sere, like the man he abandoned!" "Humph where were they two years ago?" "At a village not far from Humberston. He had a pretty house, sir, and sold baskets; and the girl was there too, favoured by a great lady a Marchioness, sir! Gods!" "Marchioness? near Humberston? The Marchioness of Montfort, I suppose?"
Then he took aside George, and whispered in his ear: "A very honest, kind-hearted man, sir; can you deliver him from the Planets? they bring him into sad trouble. Is there no opening for a cobbler at Humberston?" George nodded, and went back to Merle, who was wiping his eyes with his coat-sleeve.
He became appalled. Humberston, like most towns under the political influence of a great House, was rent by parties, one party, who succeeded in returning one of the two members for Parliament, all for the House of Montfort; the other party, who returned also their member, all against it.
The investigator's regard should embrace all the sides of the subject, and perseveringly pursue all its phases." It is the race-week in Humberston, a county town far from Gatesboro', and in the north of England.
Certainly, during this visit, Morley's scruples relaxed; but when he returned home they came back with greater force than ever, with greater force, because he felt that now not only a spiritual ambition, but a human love was a casuist in favour of self-interest. He had returned on a visit to Humberston Rectory about a week previous to the date of this chapter; the niece was not there.
George has gone back to his home and duties at Humberston, promising very soon to revisit his old friend, and discuss future plans. The scholar, though with a sharp pang, conceding to Waife that all attempt publicly to clear his good name at the cost of reversing the sacrifice he had made must be forborne, could not, however, be induced to pledge himself to unconditional silence.
Do you know that I conceived that hope, that the hope helped to lead me back here when, months ago, I was at Humberston, intent upon rescuing Sophy; and saw though," observed Waife, with a sly twitch of the muscles round his mouth, "I had no right at that precise moment to be seeing anything Lady Montfort's humane fear for a blind old impostor, who was trying to save his dog a black dog, sir, who had dyed his hair from her carriage wheels.
He is now the rector of Humberston; married a very nice sort of woman suits him Humberston is a fine living; but his talents are wasted there. He preached for the first time in London last year, and made a considerable sensation. This year he has been much out of town. He has no church here as yet. "I hope to get him one. Carr is determined that he shall be a Bisop.
The necessity of this caution was so obvious that Lady Montfort could only send her most confidential servant to inquire guardedly in the neighbourhood, until she had summoned George Morley from Humberston, and taken him into counsel. Waife had permitted her to relate to him, on strict promise of secrecy, the tale he had confided to her.
They had arrived in a "buss," which they had hired for the occasion. They had come from Humberston the day after those famous races which annually filled Humberston with strangers the time of year in which Rugge's grand theatrical exhibition delighted that ancient town. From the description of the two ladies Waife suspected that they belonged to Rugge's company.
