Sheppard after the commission of the robbery in Willesden church was productive of unfortunate consequences to her son. Luckily, she was bereft of consciousness, and was thus spared the additional misery of witnessing what afterwards befell him. Startled by the cry, as may be supposed, the attention of the whole congregation was drawn towards the quarter whence it proceeded.
He found himself at length in a green lane near Willesden, silent and undisturbed; he pulled up his horse, and summoned all his mind to the contemplation of his prospects. Edith was lost. Now, should he return to his grandfather, accept his mission, and go down to Darlford on Friday?
Not a soul did we meet between that and Willesden; and of those who saw us later, did one think of the two young men with crooked white ties, supporting a third in a seemingly unmistakable condition, when the evening papers apprised the town of a terrible tragedy at Kensal Rise? We walked to Maida Vale, and thence drove openly to my rooms.
He settled at Willesden with his wife, where they lived to a good old age, and where some of his descendants may still be found. Mr. Bloundel sustained only a trifling loss by the fire.
In the background, by the steps, the boarders sat, an interested group. Eliphalet girded up his loins, and sharpened his nasal twang to cope with hers. The preliminary sparring was an exchange of compliments, and deceived neither party. It seemed rather to heighten mutual respect. "You be from Willesden, eh?" said Crane. "I calculate you know the Salters."
"No, sir," said Eliphalet. "From Willesden, Massachusetts." "Come in on the 'Louisiana'?" "Yes, sir." But why this politeness? The elderly gentleman lighted a cigar. The noise of the rushing mules had now become a distant roar, like a whirlwind which has swept by. But Eliphalet did not stir. "Friends in town?" inquired the gentleman at length. "No, sir," sighed Mr. Hopper.
They found a cooker and provisions and remains of a hastily abandoned meal. One tent was half full of hard ice, the result of thaw. The Willesden canvas was rotten except some material used for the doors. The floor cloth could not be freed. The Soldier doesn't like the idea of fetching up the remainder of the loads to this camp with the ponies.
There were many consultations; and the upshot of these was, that Lady Rowley and her daughter determined to start for Willesden without saying anything to Sir Marmaduke of the purpose they had in hand.
"She resembles my poor Sarah very strongly," he said. "My daughter was hurried into an early grave by a villain who won her affections and betrayed her. She now lies in Willesden churchyard, but her seducer is one of the chief favourites of our profligate monarch." "Do you mean the Earl of Rochester?" cried Leonard.
Oh! that I should live to be father-in-law to a peer of France! What would my poor wife say to it, if she could come to life again? Oh, Thames! my lord marquis, I mean you have made me the happiest the proudest of mankind." Not many days after this event, on a bright October morning, the bells rang a merry peal from the old gray tower of Willesden church.
