fancy to get it out of you。 To have something in for my money。 ̄
^Ha You¨re prudent察 prudent察 sir 院 cries Grandfather
Smallweed察rubbing his legs。
^Very。 I always was。 ̄ Puff。 ^It¨s a sure sign of my prudence察that
I ever found the way here。 ̄ Puff。 ^Also察that I am what I am。 ̄ Puff。
^I am well known to be prudent察院 says Mr George察 composedly
smoking。 ^I rose in life察that way。 ̄
^Don¨t be down´hearted察sir。 You may rise yet。 ̄
Mr George laughs and drinks。
^Ha¨n¨t you no relations察 now察院 asks Grandfather Smallweed察
with a twinkle in his eyes察 who would pay off this little principal察
or who would lend you a good name or two that I could persuade
my friend in the city to make you a further advance upon拭 Two
good names would be sufficient for my friend in the city。 Ha¨n¨t
you no such relations察Mr George拭院
Mr George察 still composedly smoking察 replies察 If I had察 I
shouldn¨t trouble them。 I have been trouble enough to my
belongings in my day。 It may be a very good sort of penitence in a
vagabond察who has wasted the best time of his life察to go back then
to decent people that he never was a credit to察and live upon them察
but it¨s not my sort。 The best kind of amends then察for having gone

away察is to keep away察in my opinion。 ̄
^But natural affection察 Mr George察院 hints Grandfather
Smallweed。
^For two good names察hey拭院says Mr George察shaking his head察
and still composedly smoking。 ^No。 That¨s not my sort察either。 ̄
Grandfather Smallweed has been gradually sliding down in his
chair since his last adjustment察 and is now a bundle of clothes察
with a voice in it calling for Judy。 That Houri appearing察 shakes
him up in the usual manner察and is charged by the old gentleman
to remain near him。 For he seems chary of putting his visitor to
the trouble of repeating his late attentions。
^Ha 院he observes察when he is in trim again。 ^If you could have
traced out the Captain察Mr George察it would have been the making
of you。 If察 when you first came here察 in consequence of our
advertisements in the newspapers!when I say `our察 I¨m alluding
to the advertisements of my friend in the city察 and one or two
others who embark their capital in the same way察 and are so
friendly towards me as sometimes to give me a lift with my little
pittance!if察at that time察you could have helped us察Mr George察it
would have been the making of you。 ̄
^I was willing enough to be `made察 as you call it察院 says Mr
George察 smoking not quite so placidly as before察 for since the
entrance of Judy he has been in some measure disturbed by a
fascination察not of the admiring kind察which obliges him to look at
her as she stands by her grandfather¨s chair察 but察on the whole察I
am glad I wasn¨t now。 ̄
^Why察 Mr George拭 In the name of!of Brimstone察 why拭院 says
Grandfather Smallweed察with a plain appearance of exasperation。
Brimstone apparently suggested by his eye lighting on Mrs

Smallweed in her slumber。 ^For two reasons察comrade。 ̄
^And what two reasons察Mr George拭In the name of the! ̄
^Of our friend in the city拭院 suggests Mr George察 composedly
drinking。
^Ay察if you like。 What two reasons拭院
^In the first place察院returns Mr George察but still looking at Judy察
as if察she being so old and so like her grandfather察it is indifferent
which of the two he addresses察 you gentlemen took me in。 You
advertised that Mr Hawdon Captain Hawdon察 if you hold to the
saying察Once a captain always a captain was to hear of something
of his advantage。 ̄
^Well拭院returns the old man察shrilly and sharply。
^Well 院 says Mr George察 smoking on。 ^It wouldn¨t have been
much to his advantage to have been clapped into prison by the
whole bill and judgment trade of London。 ̄
^How do you know that拭Some of his rich relations might have
paid his debts察or compounded for ¨em。 Besides察he had taken us
in。 He owed us immense sums察 all round。 I would sooner have
strangled him than had no return。 If I sit here thinking of him察院
snarls the old man察holding up his impotent ten fingers察 I want to
strangle him now。 ̄ And in a sudden access of fury察he throws the
cushion at the unoffending Mrs Smallweed察 but it passes
harmlessly on one side of her chair。
^I don¨t need to be told察院 returns the trooper察 taking his pipe
from his lips for a moment察 and carrying his eyes back from
following the progress of the cushion察 to the pipe´bowl which is
burning low察 that he carried on heavily and went to ruin。 I have
been at his right hand many a day察 when he was charging upon
ruin full´gallop。 I was with him察 when he was sick and well察 rich

and poor。 I laid this hand upon him察 after he had run through
everything and broken down everything beneath him!when he
held a pistol to his head。 ̄
^I wish he had let it off 院 says the benevolent old man察 and
blown his head into as many pieces as he owed pounds 院
^That would have been a smash indeed察院 returns the trooper
coolly察 any way察 he had been young察 hopeful察 and handsome in
the days gone by察and I am glad I never found him察when he was
neither察to lead to a result so much to his advantage。 That¨s reason
number one。 ̄
^I hope number two¨s as good拭院snarls the old man。
^Why察 no。 It¨s more of a selfish reason。 If I had found him察 I
must have gone to the other world to look。 He was there。 ̄
^How do you know he was there拭院
^He wasn¨t here。 ̄
^How do you know he wasn¨t here拭院
^Don¨t lose your temper as well as your money察院 says Mr
George察 calmly knocking the ashes out of his pipe。 ^He was
drowned long before。 I am convinced of it。 He went over a ship¨s
side。 Whether intentionally or accidentally察I don¨t know。 Perhaps
your friend in the city does。!Do you know what that tune is察Mr
Smallweed拭院 he adds察 after breaking off to whistle one察
accompanied on the table with the empty pipe。
^Tune 院replies the old man。 ^No。 We never have tunes here。 ̄
^That¨s the Dead March in Saul。 They bury soldiers to it察so it¨s
the natural end of the subject。 Now察 if your pretty grand´
daughter!excuse me察 miss!will condescend to take care of this
pipe for two months察we shall save the cost of one next time。 Good
evening察Mr Smallweed 院
