When the Doctor had gone Anna took a seat by Moggy's side, and Willie begged Jenny to give him some employment which might be of use. "There's little enough, my sweet young master, that is fit for you to do," answered Jenny.
While this was going on in Moggy's hut, George had been despatched to inform Mrs Sudberry of their safety. The distance being short, he soon ran over the ground, and burst in upon his mother with a cheer.
Neither Sir Robert nor any of the conspirators were aware of this manoeuvre of Moggy's; for Smallbones, perceiving what she had done, hauled it down again in a minute afterwards. But it had been hoisted, and the major considered it his duty to return; so once more the troop ascended the precipitous path. Moggy then went into the cave.
Many a time during the last two weeks had Master Jacky, all unknown to his parents, made his way to old Moggy's hut attracted thereto by the splendid "lollipops" with which the subtle old creature beguiled him, and also by the extraordinary amount of affection she lavished upon him.
So cried they all, and Mr Vanslyperken, whose coat and waistcoat were already off, and finding many fingers very busy about the rest of his person, perceived that Moggy's neutrality was all a sham, so he begged to be heard.

The second discovery was more startling in its nature. Jacky announced it with round eyes and a blazing face, thus "Oh! ma, old Moggy's d-dyin'!"
The clerical handmaid, in a galloping whisper in Moggy's ear, told her, 'Twas a weddin' party, and such tarin' fun she never see sich dancin' and singin', and laughin' and funnin'; and she must wait a bit, and see the quality, a portion of whom, indeed, were visible as well as over-poweringly audible, through the half-open door of the front parlour; 'and there was to be a thunderin' fine supper a round of beef and two geese, and a tubful of oysters, &c, &c.
