He slunk away from the fashionable thoroughfares, slunk to the recesses of Podden Place, slunk into Arabella Crane's prim drawing-room, and said sullenly, "All is up; here I am!"
It is true that Jasper, on his return to the metropolis, was not magnetically attracted towards Podden Place; nay, days and even weeks elapsed, and Mrs. Crane was not gladdened by his presence. But she knew that her influence was only suspended, not extinct. The body attracted was for the moment kept from the body attracting by the abnormal weights that had dropped into its pockets.
"Heu quoties fidem Mutatosque deos flebit!" Jasper Losely returns not, neither to Podden place or his lodging in the neighborhood. Days elapse and still he comes not; even Poole does not know where he has gone; even Poole has not seen him! But that worthy is now laid up with a serious rheumatic fever confined to his room and a water gruel.
"Pray, sir," quoth the second wayfarer in that desert, "can you tell me if this is a street that is called a Place, Podden Place, Upper?" "Sir," returned the sprucer wayfarer, "it is the question I would have asked of you." "Strange!" "Very strange indeed that more than one person can, in this busy age, employ himself in discovering a Podden Place!
Not a soul to inquire of, not a shop that I see, not an orange-stall!" "Ha!" cried the other, in a hoarse sepulchral voice, "Ha! there is a pot- boy! Boy! boy! boy! I say. Hold, there! hold! Is this Podden Place, Upper?"
She is no more died last week. She has left you all she had in the world; and a very pretty income it is, too, for a single lady." Thus it was that we find Arabella installed in the dreary comforts of Podden Place. "She exchanged," she said, "in honour to her aunt's memory, her own name for that of Crane, which her aunt had borne her own mother's maiden name."
Restore the body thus temporarily counterpoised to its former lightness, and it would turn to Podden Place as the needle to the Pole. Meanwhile, oblivious of all such natural laws, the disloyal Jasper had fixed himself as far from the reach of the magnet as from Bloomsbury's remotest verge in St. James's animated centre. The apartment he engaged was showy and commodious.
Gre, Davy?" "He is my guest once in Louisiane, mon general," Monsieur Auguste explained; "my family knows him." "You know the Sieur de St. Gre, Davy?" said the General again. "Yes, I know him," I answered, I fear with some brevity. "Podden me," said Auguste, "I am now Citizen Captain de St. Gre.
