The malice of his mental disease, the bitterness lurking at the bottom of his heart, mad as he was, for a blighted and ruined life and love that had been paid with cruel scorn, awoke within the breast of Jervase Helwyse. He shook his finger at the wretched girl, and the chamber echoed, the curtains of the bed were shaken, with his outburst of insane merriment.
Please do as I have asked you, and leave me, and send the boy along. I don't think that he will leave the same flavour on the palate as the father does. 'I suppose, said Jervase, 'that from your point of view I've been a badish sort of a lot? 'I suppose you have, said Major de Blacquaire. 'But Polly never knew about it, and you've never had any sort of a right to look down on him.
'asked Jervase, who was glad of a chance to recover a seeming of composure for himself under the shelter of a pretended anger. 'Why didn't you give somebody the word in place of leaving a valuable beast like that wandering about in a tempest? 'I don't know, James answered, as feebly as ever. 'I was in a hurry to get in.

John Jervase, banker, capitalist, driver of men, was not in the least like himself that morning, and his hands trembled so that he was fain to clutch one with another, and to hold both tight between his knees as he sat. 'Look here, Polly, he began, but Polson gazed sternly straight before him, and gave no sign of sympathy or forgiveness.
The lark sang in the thin sunlight as if he would break his very heart for joy, and the lovers walked homewards slowly, arm in arm. It was the First of May, and that same good three-master, the Cæsar, which had carried Major de Blacquaire and Sergeant Jervase from the Crimea to Scutari, was bowling merrily along south of Naples, where Vesuvius had his smoking cap on.
The case being established, the firm would be responsible for every penny. 'And for how large a share, the General asked, 'am I personally responsible? 'Each member of the firm, Jervase answered, 'is responsible in his own person for the whole amount. There's no limitation of liability.
'You're a pretty good shot, I gather? 'Thank you, sir. 'Any instruction in musketry? 'Pretty fair, sir. 'Put him through his facings, Sergeant, in the riding school at four o'clock this afternoon. I'll be there. You hear, Jervase? 'Yes, sir. At this juncture the Sergeant surprised a wink from Volnay, which that young gentleman supposed to have been unseen, and he fell a-thinking.
He was quite blown by the time he reached it, and he clutched at the nearest sapling as a drowning man clutches at a spar. He stood there perforce for a full minute, panting hard. Then he shook his head doggedly, and muttered a second time: 'All right, my lads. You haven't got Jack Jervase yet.
Perhaps you may come back in a different humour, Polly. Here's your agent's letter. Are you a-going to take your commission, and fight in a gentleman's uniform for your Queen and country, or are you going out to advertise your father's shame by wearing a private's coat? 'I shall go as I am, said Polson. 'Very well, said John Jervase again.
