Before dinner my schoolfellows had begged off one-half of the task. Mrs Cherfeuil, at dinner, begged off one-half of that half: when things had gone thus far, Mrs Causand interfered, and argued for a commutation of punishment; the more especially, as she thought an example ought to be made for so heinous an offence.
She opened her desk, and gave me two letters from my father to her. They were, as she described them, repentant, and spoke most honourably and most fondly of my deceased mother praying Mrs Causand most earnestly to tell him of the happiness and the whereabouts of his wife. "And you did, of course." "No, Ralph, I did not look at the dates.
How they would have fired up if they had known the truth! "At last the Thunder sailed down Channel, and my mother began to fancy that all the things she had heard about Taylor might be false, and all her old feeling for him came back. However, as his ill-luck would have it, the ship put into Plymouth Sound, and as she lay there a boat came off from Causand with a lady in it.
The exhibition and the gait were so singular, that Mrs Causand could scarcely stand for laughter, whilst the boys shouted, "Go it, Ralph!" "Well done, peg!" "Dot-and-go-one will beat him." In the midst of these exhilarating cries, what I had calculated upon happened.
There was certainly a sad discrepancy between his dress and his discourse. However, it was a good travelling disguise, and very serviceable to a petty officer breaking his leave of absence. With my health perfectly recovered, dressed with the greatest precision, and with a beating heart, I went to call upon Mrs Causand. On her all my hopes rested.
"Stop, no more of this ribaldry you see he is not here I know nothing concerning him of what is he accused?" "Of forgery, housebreaking, and, with an accomplice, of an attempt to murder a young gentleman, a naval officer of the name of Ralph Rattlin." Mrs Causand turned to me sorrowfully, and exclaimed, "Oh, Ralph! was this well done of you?"
Your son murdered her see in me her reproachful countenance oh, Mrs Causand, you and yours have been the bane, the ruin of me and mine." "What do you mean by those horrible words? Ralph, beware, or you will yourself commit a dastardly murder upon me, even as you stand there." "Mrs Causand, I will be calm. I see it all.
He was for the summary process of going before a magistrate next morning, and taking out a warrant to apprehend Joshua Daunton on the capital charge for which he was pursued in London, and thus, at one blow, wind up the affair. But I held my promise to Mrs Causand to be sacred, and determined to give him, my fraternal enemy, one chance of escaping.
Mrs Causand sprang up from her sofa, and, standing in all the majesty of her beauty, sternly demanded, "What means this indignity?" "Beg your ladyship's pardon, sorry to intrude duty never shy, that you know, ma'am only a search-warrant for one Joshua Daunton, alias Sneaking Willie, alias Whitefaced "
The figure must be tall, in proportion faultless, in majesty unrivalled, in grace enchanting; all the outlines of the form must be full, yet not swelling, and as far removed from the modern notions of en bon point as possible; let us add to these the bust of Venus ere she weaned her first-born, the winged boy-god; and then we may have an adequate idea of the figure of Mrs Causand.
