This was at the northwest corner of the cathedral, at a short distance from the portico. The enthusiast had a small sack in his hand, and calling to Nizza Macascree to take it, flung it to the ground. The ringing sound which it made on its fall proved that it contained gold or silver, while its size showed that the amount must be considerable.
"It is well," replied Charles. "Are you satisfied, fair damsel?" "Perfectly," replied Amabel. And making a profound and grateful reverence to the king, she retired. Nizza Macascree met her at the door, and it was fortunate she did so, or Amabel, whose strength began to fail her, would otherwise have fallen.
On reaching Wingfield's dwelling, they found from the good dame, that Amabel had awakened from her slumber greatly refreshed; but she gave it as her opinion that she had better remain undisturbed. Accordingly, no one went into the room to her except Nizza Macascree.
Leonard glanced at her with admiration, but he said nothing. "Is Sir Paul Parravicin here?" asked Nizza Macascree, with great anxiety. "I have not seen him," replied Leonard; "and I have carefully examined the countenances of all the king's attendants." "Heaven be praised!" exclaimed Nizza. At this juncture, Mrs. Buscot entered the room.
"And you are not disposed to tell me the nature of the interest you feel in Nizza Macascree?" pursued Leonard. "Not as yet," replied Thirlby, with a look and tone calculated to put a stop to further inquiries.
Urging his horse into a quick pace, he came up with the fugitive, just as he had reached Cheapside. Blaize's mad career had been checked by Nizza Macascree, who, seizing the bridle, stopped the steed. Leonard, who was armed with a heavy riding-whip, applied it unsparingly to Blaize's shoulders.
"And Nizza, or as I ought now to call her, Isabella, was confided, I suppose, to the piper?" inquired Leonard. "She was confided to his helpmate," replied Thirlby, "who had been nurse to my wife. Mike Macascree was one of my father's servants, and was in his younger days a merry, worthless fellow. The heavy calamity under which he now labours had not then befallen him.
As soon as the board was cleared, Wingfield took a chair by Amabel, who, in compliance with his wife's request, spoke to him about his daughter, and in terms calculated to afford him consolation. Leonard was enraptured by her discourse, and put so little constraint upon his admiration, that Nizza Macascree could not repress a pang of jealousy.
"Now, her name?" "She is the daughter of a blind piper, who haunts the cathedral," replied Parravicin, "and her name is Nizza Macascree. Is it not charming? But you shall see her." "We must not go too far from the door of Saint Faith's," rejoined Rochester. "Can you not contrive to bring her hither?" "That is more easily said than done," replied Parravicin. "She is as coy as the grocer's daughter.
"Yours is really a very dangerous position," she said, "and I should be acting unfairly towards you if I told you otherwise. However, I will give you all the protection in my power, and I trust your retreat may not be discovered." Mrs. Compton's remark did not tend to dispel Amabel's uneasiness, and both she and Nizza Macascree passed a day of great disquietude.
