The people were good to me; almost too good, for they were inclined to make a lion of me, which I hated at least the women were; only they had to beware of Yram, who was a young lady of a jealous temperament, and kept a sharp eye both on me and on my lady visitors.
The ghost of the lock that Yram had then given him, rose from the dead, and smote him as with a whip across the face. On what dust-heap had it not been thrown how many long years ago? Then she had never forgotten him? to have been remembered all these years by such a woman as that, and never to have heeded it never to have found out what she was though he had seen her day after day for months.
Once only did Yram treat me in a way that was unkind and unreasonable, at least so I thought it at the time. It happened thus. I had been playing fives in the garden and got much heated. The next day I had a severe cold and felt really poorly.
Yram had noted Hanky's attempt to goad my father, and had not been prepared for his stealing a march upon her by trying to get my father arrested by Musical Bank officials, rather than by her son.
Half the people left the temple without giving anything at all. You seem," he added in a tone the significance of which could not be mistaken, "to be very fond, Mayoress, of this Mr. Higgs." "Yes," said Yram, "I am; I always liked him, and I am sorry for him; but he is not the person I am most sorry for at this moment he, poor man, is not going to be horsewhipped within the next twenty minutes."
"So he did, but I knew what he would think right. He was uppermost in my thoughts all the time." Yram smiled, and said, "George is a dangerous person; you were both of you very foolish; one as bad as the other." "I do not know. I do not know anything. It is beyond me; but I am at peace about it, and hope I shall do the like again to-morrow before the Mayor."
He said Hanky had been unable to come with him, and that he was himself Professor Panky." Yram again smiled very sweetly. "Then, my dear boy," she said, "I am all the more anxious that you should not see him now. See nobody but the servants and your brothers, and wait till I can enlighten you. I must not stay another moment; but tell me this much, have you seen any signs of poachers lately?"
"Then," said Yram, musing, "if you are rich, I accept and thank you heartily on his behalf. I can see a reason for his not knowing what you are giving him at present, but it is too long to tell."
I need not dwell on the deep disgust with which this speech was listened to, but the Mayor, and Yram, and George said not a word. "But, Mayoress," said Panky, who had not opened his lips so far, "are you sure that you are not too hasty in believing this stranger to be the Sunchild?
George had not positively forbidden him to speak out; he therefore sprang to his feet, "You lying hound," he cried, "I am the Sunchild, and you know it." George, who knew that he had my father in his own hands, made no attempt to stop him, and was delighted that he should have declared himself though he had felt it his duty to tell him not to do so. Yram turned pale.
