Unfortunately, the quartermaster conveyed this idea to Lord Tadcaster, and confirmed it by numerous examples to prove that there was always death at hand when a shark followed the ship. Thereupon Tadcaster took it into his head that he was under a relapse, and the shark was waiting for his dead body: he got quite low-spirited. Staines told Fitzroy. Fitzroy said, "Shark be hanged!
"The blind see the invisible," said Ursus. The old caravan had given way to a great van called the Green Box drawn by a pair of stout horses. Gwynplaine had become famous. In every fair-ground the crowd ran after him. In 1705 the Green Box arrived in London and was established at Southwark, in the yard of the Tadcaster Inn.
At fisticuffs we are equal, but not so with swords. At the Tadcaster Inn Tom-Jim-Jack could box with Gwynplaine; at Windsor the case is altered. Understand this: I am a rear-admiral." "And I am a peer of England." The man whom Gwynplaine recognized as Tom-Jim-Jack burst out laughing. "Why not a king? Indeed, you are right. An actor plays every part.
It was on her ladyship's tongue to say, "She did not make her first happy;" but she forbore, and said coldly, that was maw than she could say. Tadcaster seemed disappointed by that, and by and by Cicely took herself to task. She asked herself what were Tadcaster's chances in the lottery of wives.
It was the lamp of the Tadcaster Inn, the door of which was left ajar to admit Gwynplaine on his return. Midnight had just struck in the five parishes of Southwark, with the breaks and differences of tone of their various bells. Gwynplaine was dreaming of Dea. Of whom else should he dream?
All Southwark came to see Gwynplaine, and soon people heard of him on the other side of London Bridge, and crowds came from the City to the Tadcaster Inn. It was not long before the fashionable world itself was drawn to the Laughing Man. One morning a constable and an officer of the High Court summoned Gwynplaine to Southwark Gaol.
He felt as if in a dream. Within two hours Ursus, Homo, and Dea were on board a Dutch vessel which was shortly to leave a wharf at London Bridge. The sheriff ordered the Tadcaster Inn to be shut up. Gwynplaine found the vessel. He had left the House of Lords in despair. He had made his effort, and the result was derision. The future was terrible.
So, on this advice, Tadcaster went down to Gravesend, and Lady Cicely felt a certain self-satisfaction; for, her well-meant interference having lost Rosa one husband, she was pleased to think she had done something to give her another. Lord Tadcaster came to Rosa Staines; he found her seated with her head upon her white hand, thinking sadly of the past.
"Whose handwriting is on this envelope?" "Mine, to be sure." "Now, read the letter." Christopher read the forged letter. "Oh, monstrous!" "This was given her with your ruby ring, and a tale so artful that nothing we read about the devil comes near it. This was what did it. The Earl of Tadcaster brought her title, and wealth, and love." "What, he too!
When Ursus returned to the Green Box, he told Master Nicless that he had been delayed by following a pretty woman, and let not a word escape him concerning his adventure. Except in the evening when he said in a low voice to Homo, "See here, I have vanquished the three heads of Cerberus." An event happened. The Tadcaster Inn became more and more a furnace of joy and laughter.
