"He's going to walk beside the horse's head," said Tackleton; who helped her to her seat. "My dear John! Walk? To-night?" The muffled figure of her husband made a hasty sign in the affirmative; and, the false stranger and the little nurse being in their places, the old horse moved off.
Oh! here she is! I beg your pardon, sir; I haven't the pleasure of knowing you; but, if you can do me the favour to spare this young lady, she has rather a particular engagement this morning." "But I can't spare her," returned Edward. "I couldn't think of it." "What do you mean, you vagabond?" said Tackleton.
Last night she saw him, in the interview we witnessed. It was wrong. But otherwise than this she is innocent if there is truth on earth! 'If that is your opinion' Tackleton began. 'So, let her go! pursued the Carrier. 'Go, with my blessing for the many happy hours she has given me, and my forgiveness for any pang she has caused me. Let her go, and have the peace of mind I wish her!
'Why, if you compel me to make the observation, said Tackleton, previously taking the precaution of getting into his chaise; 'I must say that it was so very unexpected, that I'm far from being likely to forget it.

"If you please I can't make nobody hear," said Tilly, looking round. "I hope nobody an't gone and been and died if you please!" This philanthropic wish Miss Slowboy emphasized with various new raps and kicks at the door, which led to no result whatever. "Shall I go?" said Tackleton. "It's curious." The Carrier, who had turned his face from the door, signed him to go if he would.
"When it rose, and the bright light I almost fear to strike myself against in walking, came into the room, I turned the little tree towards it, and blessed Heaven for making things so precious, and blessed you for sending them to cheer me!" "Bedlam broke loose!" said Tackleton under his breath. "We shall arrive at the strait-waistcoat and mufflers soon. We're getting on!"
'Will you have the kindness to throw that in the fire? Thank'ee. 'It was a previous engagement, quite an old engagement, that prevented my wife from keeping her appointment with you, I assure you, said Edward. 'Mr. Tackleton will do me the justice to acknowledge that I revealed it to him faithfully; and that I told him, many times, I never could forget it, said May, blushing.
The Carrier turned upon him quickly. "Because he's gone!" said Tackleton; "and the window's open. I don't see any marks to be sure, it's almost on a level with the garden: but I was afraid there might have been some some scuffle. Eh?" He nearly shut up the expressive eye altogether; he looked at him so hard. And he gave his eye, and his face, and his whole person, a sharp twist.
