The first step of the red-faced attorney, on finding no state-room unoccupied, was to dispossess two flat-boatmen of theirs, by the payment of a round bonus. Jaspar thought this a rather extravagant move for one apparently so parsimonious; but his mind was too deeply engrossed with the difficulties which environed him to comment on extraneous subjects.
Thus endeth the translation of these Three Worshipful Kings: Melchior, Balthazar, and Jaspar. A French Yeoman's Legend. "He laughed fit to make the plates rattle, his little brown eyes twinkling all the while." Erckmann-Chatrian. "Two truffled turkeys, Garrigou?" "Yes, reverend Father, two magnificent turkeys stuffed with truffles. There's no mistake, for I helped to stuff them myself.
21st, All the morning putting things in my house in order, and packing up glass to send into the country to my father, and books to my brother John, and then to my Lord Crew's to dinner; and thence to Mr. Lewes Philip's chamber, and there at noon with him for business, and received L80 upon Jaspar Trice's account, and so home with it, and so to my chamber for all this evening, and then to bed.
Moore from London, by my desire, that the three witnesses of the will being all legatees, will not do the will any wrong. To-night Serjeant Bernard, I hear, is come home into the country. To supper and to bed. 20th. Up to Huntingdon this morning to Sir Robert Bernard, with whom I met Jaspar Trice.
"Near the office is an empty lot with trees and bushes. I'd as lief rest there as here ef it's the same to you. Then you kin look around for Jaspar, if ye've a mind to." "And if I find him?" "Watch him, as I shall watch the other feller." "And then " "The rest is in the dear Lord's hands."
Have I not served you faithfully?" interrogated the attorney, with a smile of assurance. "Served me faithfully!" sneered Jaspar. "You served me a cursed shabby trick above Baton Rouge, at the wood-yard." "My dear sir, you wrong me! I did not injure you bodily, I trust?" "No, sir! You have not that satisfaction." "I rejoice to hear it.
Dalhousie and his wife, followed by Uncle Nathan and Pat Fegan, entered the room. Jaspar fixed his glaring eyes upon those whom he supposed were rotting within the precincts of his Inquisition. His power of speech seemed to have deserted him, and he shook all over like an aspen-leaf. To Jaspar alone on the estate was the secret of Dalhousie's imprisonment known.
"Perhaps you will be willing to use a little gentle force, to save your own neck," said the attorney, with something like a sneer. "Anything, anything, that will silence your damning tongue, and rid me of your teasing!" "Now, sir, you are reasonable." "Summon the girl," said Jaspar, impatiently. "I will say all I have to say in a few words. But, if she foils you, it is not my fault."
"Show him in," said Jaspar, re-seating himself, and striving to assume a tranquillity which did not pervade his mind. Since the consummation of his base scheme he had been a prey to nervous starts, and the announcement of a stranger stirred the blood in its channels, and sent his heart into his throat.
The ci devant desperado, as we have before indicated, was radically changed at heart, and he now felt more interest in the welfare of Emily than he had ever before harbored for any human being. His position was full of embarrassments. He learned, while at Bellevue, that Jaspar was not, and had not been, sick. This information decided his future course.
