The sentence was not completed, for at that moment the door was opened by Sir Paul Parravicin, who, advancing towards Thirlby, begged, in the same deferential tone as before, to have a few words with him. "I might well refuse you," replied Thirlby, sternly, "but it is necessary we should have some explanation of what has occurred."
Lead me to her hiding-place without more ado." "If you know where it is," rejoined Chowles, who now perceived the trick that had been practised upon him, "you will not want me to conduct you to it. Neither Nizza nor Sir Paul Parravicin are here." "That is false, prevaricating scoundrel," cried Leonard. "My companion and I saw you enter the house with your profligate employer.
"I am come for Nizza Macascree," replied Leonard, "whom you and Chowles have detained against her will." Parravicin glanced sternly and inquiringly at the coffin-maker. "I have protested to him that she is not here, Sir Paul," said the latter, "but he will not believe me, and has compelled me, by threats of taking my life, to bring him and his companion to you."
"You are the death's-head at the feast, Lydyard," rejoined Parravicin, setting down his glass. "I hate the idea of the plague. It poisons all our pleasures. We must meet at noon to-morrow, at the Smyrna, to compare notes as to our successes. Before we separate, can I be of any further service to you, Wyvil?
"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.
"You shall have an explanation instantly," replied the apprentice; "but think not of me think only of your daughter." "My father! my father!" cried the damsel, who had been detained by Parravicin, taking off her mask, and rushing towards the grocer. "Who then have I got?" cried Rochester. "The piper's daughter, I'll be sworn," replied Etherege. "You are right," replied Nizza, unmasking.
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?
We are not particular in such matters, and shall bury her and her husband together; and as there is no money left to pay for coffins, they must go to the grave without them. What, ho! Mother Malmayns, let Jonas have the captain as soon as you have stripped him. I must be starting." And as the body of his victim was brought forth, Parravicin fell against the wall in a state almost of stupefaction.
I was at Whitehall, and finding the earl in the king's presence, suddenly asked him where I could find his friend Sir Paul Parravicin. He looked surprised at the question, glanced significantly at the monarch, and then carelessly answered that he knew no such person." "A strange idea crosses me," cried Leonard. "Can it be the king who has assumed this disguise?"
"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.
