"I shall visit you to-morrow, and hope to find your son as well as I leave him. Chowles, you will be answerable for the safe custody of Mrs. Malmayns." "I have no desire to escape, sir," replied the nurse. "You will find everything as I have represented." "We shall see," replied the doctor. "If not, you will have to tend the sick in Newgate."
"I assure you he is doing as well as possible; but he is so dreadfully frightened at a trifling operation which Doctor Hodges finds it necessary to perform upon him, that we have been obliged to fasten him to the bed." "Indeed!" exclaimed Leonard, suspiciously. "Has Judith Malmayns had no hand in this arrangement?"
I will send him proper medicines and some blankets shortly. If he takes cold, it will be fatal." The young man promised to attend to the doctor's injunctions, and the old woman mumbled her thanks. "Where is Judith Malmayns?" asked Doctor Hodges: "I am surprised not to see her. Is she afraid of the distemper?" "Afraid of it! not she," replied the old woman.
And she then explained to Leonard all that had occurred in the vault when the coin had been shown to Judith Malmayns, describing the nurse's singular look and her father's subsequent anger. By this time, they had entered a narrow footpath leading across the fields in the direction of a little nest of cottages, and pursuing it, they came to a garden-gate.
He had a grave and thoughtful air, somewhat inclining to melancholy, but in other respects he was greatly improved. His health was completely restored, and the thoughtful expression added character to his handsome physiognomy, and harmonised well with his manly and determined bearing. He was habited plainly, but with some degree of taste. As Judith Malmayns had intimated, he was now Mr.
I well know I am past all forgiveness. No," he added, with a fearful imprecation, "since Nizza is alive, I will not die." "Right, Sir Paul, right," rejoined Chowles; "put a bold face on it, and I will answer for it you will get over the attack. Have no fear of Judith Malmayns," he added, in a significant tone. "However she may treat others, she will cure you."
"On my return to England I communicated to him through Judith Malmayns, who is my foster-sister, that I was still alive, telling him the name I had adopted, and adding, I should never disturb him in the possession of his title and estates." "Ay, title!" echoed Thirlby. "The title I once bore was that of Lord Argentine."
"It is," returned Solomon Eagle, "and it will be supposed that he died of the plague. But his end was accelerated by Judith Malmayns." Without allowing her time for reply, he pursued his course, traversing another long, narrow passage. "Where are we?" asked Nizza, as they arrived at the foot of a spiral stone staircase. "Beneath the central tower of the cathedral," replied Solomon Eagle.
"Your assistance comes too late, Leonard," groaned Blaize "it's all over with me now, but I don't like to breathe my last in this dismal vault, without medicine or food, both of which I am denied by that infernal hag Mother Malmayns, who calls herself a nurse, but who is in reality a robber and murderess. Oh! the frightful scenes I have witnessed since I have been brought here!
But at last this was accomplished, and they entered the vault beyond the charnel, where they found Chowles and Judith Malmayns. The former was wrapped in a long black cloak, and was pacing to and fro within the narrow chamber. When Solomon Eagle appeared, he sprang towards him, and regarding him inquiringly, cried, "Have you done it? have you done it?" The enthusiast replied in the affirmative.
