I care not what happens to me, provided you escape the earl." "Come home, mistress," cried the grocer, dragging her through the crowd which had gathered round them. "Here is a pretty conclusion to the adventure!" cried Parravicin; "but where is the apprentice and where is the pretty Nizza Macascree?
Nizza Macascree is sure to accompany her, and will, therefore, be in your power." "I see!" cried Parravicin. "A capital project!" "Pillichody has contrived to ingratiate himself with Blaize," pursued the earl, "and through him the matter can be easily managed.
Thirlby then inquired of the porter whether Mike Macascree, the blind piper, was still at Dame Lucas's cottage, in Finsbury Fields, and was answered in the affirmative by the old man, who added, however, in a voice of much emotion, that the good dame herself was no more.
The Wheatsheaf was occupied by two large families, who were flying from the infected city, and no accommodation could be obtained. Leonard looked wistfully at Nizza Macascree, as if to ascertain what to do, and she was equally perplexed; but the difficulty was relieved by Amabel herself, who said she felt much better, and able to proceed a little further.
And he then proceeded to relate to Wingfield the persecution which Nizza Macascree had endured from the profligate knight The farmer listened to his recital with breathless interest, and when it was ended arose, and, taking a hasty turn round the room, halted at the table and struck it forcibly with his clenched hand.
The meal over, Leonard, who felt exceedingly curious to learn what had become of the mysterious stranger whose child he had carried to the plague-pit, and who had appeared so strangely interested in Nizza Macascree, determined to walk to the pest-house in Finsbury Fields and inquire after him.
If the earl should resort to violence, I can appeal to the king for protection." "If you have any regard for me, fly," cried Nizza Macascree. "I am lost if I remain here till to-morrow." "For your sake I will go, then," returned Amabel. "But I have a foreboding that I am running into the teeth of danger." "Oh! say not so," rejoined Mrs. Buscot. "I am persuaded it is for the best.
Leonard was about to proceed with his search, but a slight circumstance detained him for a few minutes, during which time he had sufficient leisure to note the extraordinary personal attractions of Nizza Macascree.
He then delivered it to Leonard, who received it tenderly, and calling to Nizza Macascree, who had witnessed the scene at a little distance, and was deeply affected by it, to await his return, ran towards the plague-pit. Arrived there, he placed his little burden at the brink of the excavation, and, kneeling beside it, uttered a short prayer inspired by the occasion.
"The fool has placed himself in our power," he said, "and he shall pay for his temerity; nevertheless, I will spare his life provided he assist us to get into the house, or will deliver up Nizza Macascree." "I will do neither," replied Leonard, fiercely. Parravicin raised his sword, and was about to strike, when, at the moment, the basket was again quickly lowered to the ground.
