'I traced my man to Gibraltar, and thence he appears to have come north, continued Sir John Pleydell. 'He has probably taken service under Espartero many of our English outlaws wear the Spanish Queen's uniform. He is, of course, bearing an assumed name; but surely it would be possible to trace him? 'Oh, yes, answered Conyngham, 'I think you will be able to find him.
Pleydell tells me, are distinguished in history as following the banners of their native princes, while our own fought at Cressy and Poictiers.
What smart fellows do you think Leyden and Utrecht must send forth, when such a very genteel and handsome young man comes from the paltry schools of Middleburgh? 'Of a verity, said the Dominie, jealous of the reputation of the Dutch seminary 'of a verity, Mr. Pleydell, but I make it known to you that I myself laid the foundation of his education.
Pleydell to inform him of the particulars attending the loss of the boy; and the Counsellor, who was fond of talking upon subjects of criminal jurisprudence, especially when connected with his own experience, went through the circumstances at full length. 'And what is your opinion upon the result of the whole?
Pleydell, there is only one case upon record, Torrence and Waldie. They were, you remember, resurrection-women, who had promised to procure a child's body for some young surgeons. Being upon honour to their employers, rather than disappoint the evening lecture of the students, they stole a live child, murdered it, and sold the body for three shillings and sixpence.
It is probably true, as observed by Counsellor Pleydell, that a lawyer's anxiety about his case, supposing him to have been some time in practice, will seldom disturb his rest or digestion. Clients will, however, sometimes fondly entertain a different opinion. I have nae been able to sleep a wink for thinking of it nor, I dare say your Lordship either."
Pleydell, which you produce and found upon, is dated 1st June 17 ; but this" breaking the seals and unfolding the document slowly "is dated the 20th no, I see it is the 21st, of April of this present year, being ten years posterior."
'Well, then, I will indulge a thought I had of spending a week here; and if the venison will not keep, why we will see what else our landlord can do for us. 'O, the venison will keep, said Pleydell; 'and now good-bye. Look at these two or three notes, and deliver them if you like the addresses. I wrote them for you this morning.
For it had happened to Father Concha, as it may happen to writer and reader at any moment, to meet one who in individuality bears a resemblance to that self which we never know and yet are ever conscious of. Sir John Pleydell, a few hundred yards away, obeyed the shopman's invitation to step upstairs with something approaching alacrity.
Pleydell, your honour kens mony things, but ye dinna ken the farm o' Charlie's Hope; it's sae weel stockit already that we sell maybe sax hundred pounds off it ilka year, flesh and fell the gither; na, na. 'Can't you take another then? 'What, not upon thy neighbour at Dawston Devilstone how d 'ye call the place? 'What, on Jock o' Dawston? hout na.
