A few days later, when his baggage had arrived from Edinburgh, Mr. Lovel went forth to pay his respects at Monkbarns, and received a cordial welcome from Mr. Oldbuck. They parted the best of friends, but the antiquary was still at a loss to know what this well-informed young man, without friends, connections, or employment, could have to do as a resident at Fairport.
I did not take his life, as I might have done; I wished him to repent of his sins, and to make restitution of what he unjustly possesses. I was called out to do an act of justice; I had taken the heir of Lovel under my protection, my chief view was to see justice done to him; what regarded this man was but a secondary motive. This was my end, and I will never, never lose sight of it."
Lovel; who, after about ten minutes' deliberation, proposed, with a most important face, to determine the wager by who should draw the longest straw!

The documents making over the property were all right, but the Earl would believe nothing of the murder. Mr. Thwaite might have been wounded.

"You've better friends now, you see, Mrs. Rice," Clarissa answered gently. "I could do so little for you.
"Yes, my dear Lovel, you shall have full notes; and, indeed, think we may introduce the whole of the Essay on Castrametation into the appendix it will give great value to the work. Then we will revive the good old forms so disgracefully neglected in modern times.

I am a seeker, with my ear intent to hear God's command, and I doubt not that by some providence He will yet show me His blessed way." Lovel stood as if in a muse while the heavy feet tramped down the staircase. He heard a whispering below and then the soft closing of a door.
