With a miniature of Miss Walladmor pressed to his lips, he was discovered lying on the ground of the last decisive charge: and Sir M organ was satisfied to hear that his son had met the death of a soldier and in a cause which he approved. That Bertram was twin brother to Edward Nicholas, the reader will long have suspected.
"But how came he first connected with smugglers; and what introduced him to the notice of Miss Walladmor?" She gave herself out for a regular merchantman, but was pretty well understood to be a smuggler as opportunities offered. Edward Nicholas, as I have said, passed for the Captain's son: and in that character, as well as for his personal qualities, was much looked up to by the crew.
Women however of all classes manifest a purity and elevation of sentiment on this subject to which the coarseness of the other sex rarely ascends. Hence it was that Miss Walladmor found in her humble attendant a sympathy more profound than she might possibly have met with in many of her own rank.
Godber was the secret mover in the matter; though the very nature of her purpose obliged her to employ the hand of an intermediate agent. About three months after the execution of the poor boy, and when the ferment of that unhappy affair was beginning to subside in all minds but those of his mother and of Sir Morgan, lady Walladmor lay in of twins.
He levelled, and settled himself firmly for his aim: Miss Walladmor heard the voice: she saw the action: through a cloud of smoke she caught the preparation: she shrieked; raised her hands; ran forwards; with a piercing cry she exclaimed "Oh no, no, no, no!" and Captain Walladmor turned, and caught her on his left arm just as the fatal bullet fled across the hall and sank into her bosom.
Let him be assured that all possible experiments in that way have been used in the treatment of Walladmor. It is always satisfactory to know that the patient has had every advantage which humanity guided by skill could suggest. No attention has been omitted even in this chapter which the nature of the case allowed.
Half unconsciously Edward Walladmor murmured disordered words of tenderness and distraction: some sounds fell upon her ear, and she raised her heavy eyelids.
Then, turning to Miss Walladmor, he gazed with distraction upon her pallid lips, and her black robe now crimsoned with blood. He seated himself, with his lovely burthen, upon the lower stair of a flight which led off at right angles from the landing on which he stood. Miss Walladmor's eyes were closed; and she was manifestly dying.
In short proceed as you will; and depend upon my looking away from what passes which is the best kind of assistance that I can give to your intentions in this case, without running the risk of defeating them." Miss Walladmor smiled through her tears, and thanked him fervently: Sir Charles bowed and departed.
I can read what's written there. Do you think that nobody's barns must be hanged but mine?" "But who then was it, my good Mrs. Godber, that hanged your son?" "Who should it be but the old master of Walladmor? He knows by this time what it is to have the heart-ache. Oh kite! he tore my lamb from me. But, hark in your ear Sir Lawyer! I visited his nest, old ravening kite!
