Now go you to Heathcote, and tell him your father will burn the bond, and cancel the debt, upon one condition that when I am in possession of this farm, which you can lease to me on what terms you think suitable, he will convey over his property to me, reserving what life-interest may appear fair, I engaging at the same time to marry his daughter, and make such settlements upon her as shall be thought fitting he is not a fool the man will close with the offer.

It was humiliating to be turned out of the house by a mere boy, as he still called Marcello, but he was not excessively sensitive to humiliation, and he promised himself some sort of satisfactory vengeance before long.
"I suppose now," he said, with a knowing look, "you think Jack as good as his master?" "No, sir," said his son gravely; "generally much better." Iron Christian altered his will. To his elder son he left only a life-interest in Ballawhaine. "That boy will be doing something," he said, and thus he guarded against consequences.
