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
