Charles recommended it should be concealed from her, lest she should scruple to accept of the small assistance arising from it; but, he added, 'it would not be possible to conceal it long, since Mr. Charles proposed taking his lessons occasionally in this house. 'O, he does! said Mac-Morlan. Yes, yes, I can understand that better. And pray, Mr.
"Very well hit off But here comes an answer from Mac-Morlan." It was unfavourable. Mrs. Mac-Morlan sent her respectful compliments, and her husband had been, and was, detained, by some alarming disturbances which had taken place the preceding night at Portanferry, and the necessary investigation which they had occasioned. "What's to be done now, counsellor?" said the Colonel to Pleydell.
Some people might have made their own of it in my place and yet, to own the truth, after much consideration, I don't see how that is possible." Glossin was no sooner mounted and gone, than the Colonel despatched a groom for Mr. Mac-Morlan, and, putting the deed into his hand, requested to know if it was likely to be available to his friend Lucy Bertram.
'It is certainly inadequate, said Mac-Morlan, mistaking his meaning, 'but the circumstances Mr. Sampson waved his hand impatiently. 'It is not the lucre, it is not the lucre; but that I, that have ate of her father's loaf, and drank of his cup, for twenty years and more to think that I am going to leave her, and to leave her in distress and dolour! No, Miss Lucy, you need never think it!
Hark ye! let me have pen and ink, and I'll write an account of the whole to our house; and leave me alone a couple of hours, will ye and let them take away that piece of carrion, donner wetter!" Mac-Morlan deemed it the best way to humour the savage; he was furnished with writing materials and left alone.
"Sent him to hell before me!" replied the miscreant. "Wretch," said Mac-Morlan, "you have crowned a life spent without a single virtue, with the murder of your own miserable accomplice!" "Virtue?" exclaimed the prisoner; "donner! I was always faithful to my shipowners always accounted for cargo to the last stiver.
'I am acting to the best of my judgment and information, Sir Robert, said Mac-Morlan, 'and I must pray of you to believe so, and to pardon me accordingly. I beg you to observe it is no time for ceremony; it is already very late. But Sir Robert, without deigning to listen to his apologies, immediately employed himself with much parade in arming and arraying his domestics.
'He has escaped once before, said Mac-Morlan drily, and Glossin was silenced. Bertram was now introduced, and, to Glossin's confusion, was greeted in the most friendly manner by all present, even by Sir Robert Hazlewood himself. He told his recollections of his infancy with that candour and caution of expression which afforded the best warrant for his good faith.
"The gentleman that was lately Sheriff of this county is high in reputation as a barrister; I will give you a card of introduction to him." "What I like about you, Mr. Mac-Morlan," said the Colonel, "is, that you always come straight to the point. Let me have it instantly shall we tell Miss Lucy her chance of becoming an heiress?"
Mac-Morlan should take possession of the house a few days before Mannering's arrival, both to put everything in perfect order and to make the transference of Miss Bertram's residence from their family to his as easy and delicate as possible. Accordingly, in the beginning of the month of December the party were settled at Woodbourne. A gigantic genius fit to grapple with whole libraries
