You will have the patronage of Lord Windermear, which will always secure you a position in society, and the good wishes of all, although, I grant, that such worldly people as Lady Maelstrom may strike your name off their porter's list.
I must first have time to establish myself, and then Lord Windermear may find out his error as soon as he pleases." "Upon my honour, Japhet, you appear to be afraid of nothing." "I fear nothing, Tim, when I am following up the object of my wishes. I will allow no obstacles to stand in my way, in my search after my father." "Really, you seem to be quite mad on that point, Japhet."
In the meantime, the particulars of the duel had found their way into the papers, with various comments, but none of them very flattering to me, and I received a note from Mr Masterton, who, deceived by the representations of that class of people who cater for newspapers, and who are but too glad to pull, if they possibly can, every one to their own level, strongly animadverted upon my conduct, and pointed out the folly of it; adding, that Lord Windermear wholly coincided with him in opinion, and had desired him to express his displeasure.
"No," replied I, somewhat confused; but I soon recovered myself. As for Tim, he bolted out of the room. "What sort of a person is he?" "That you may judge for yourself, my dear fellow, for I asked him to join us, I must say, more out of compliment to Lord Windermear than anything else; for I am afraid that even I could never make a gentleman of him.
"That may be very true, Mr Newland; but if I am to consider you as my protege, and I may add, the protege of Lord Windermear, I must make you quite honest I will be no party to fraud in any shape. Are you prepared to resign your borrowed plumes, and appear before the world as you really are?" "There is but one inducement, sir, for me to wish that the world may still deceive themselves.
"It was Lord Windermear who introduced me to him," observed I. "Then he will not venture to play any tricks upon you, further than eating your dinners, borrowing your money, and forgetting to pay it." "You must acknowledge," said I, "he always tells you beforehand that he never will pay you."
As before, I rang the bell, the door swang open, and I was once more in the presence of Mr Masterton. "I have a letter, sir," said I, bowing, and presenting the letter from Lord Windermear. The old gentleman peered at me through his spectacles. "Why! we have met before bless me why you're the rogue that "
I forgot all this, still I was myself to blame I only saw that the letter in itself was unkind and unjust and my feelings were those of resentment. What right have Lord Windermear and Mr Masterton thus to school and to insult me? The right of obligations conferred. But is not Lord Windermear under obligations to me? Have I not preserved his secret? Yes; but how did I obtain possession of it?
"No," replied I, somewhat confused; but I soon recovered myself. As for Tim, he bolted out of the room. "What sort of a person is he?" "That you may judge for yourself, my dear fellow, for I asked him to join us, I must say, more out of compliment to Lord Windermear than anything else; for I am afraid that, even I could never make a gentleman of him.
Lord Windermear then took me aside, and I narrated what had happened. He recollected the story of Fleta in my narrative of my life, and felt that I was right in trying to find out who the lady was. The magistrate now apologised for the detention, but explained to his lordship how I had before made my appearance upon another charge, and with a low bow we were dismissed.
