^That was when you never ought to have asked for the security察
George察 and when you never ought to have got it察 all things
considered。 But what¨s done can¨t be undone。 You are always an
honourable and straight´forward fellow察 as far as lays in your
power察though a little flighty。 On the other hand察you can¨t admit
but what it¨s natural in us to be anxious察with such a thing hanging
over our heads。 So forget and forgive all round察 George。 Come
Forget and forgive all round 院
Mrs Bagnet察giving him one of her honest hands察and giving her
husband the other察Mr George gives each of them one of his察and
holds them while he speaks。
^I do assure you both察 there¨s nothing I wouldn¨t do to
discharge this obligation。 But whatever I have been able to scrape
together察 has gone every two months in keeping it up。 We have
lived plainly enough here察Phil and I。 But the Gallery don¨t quite
do what was expected of it察and it¨s not!in short察it¨s not the Mint。
It was wrong in me to take it拭 Well察 so it was。 But I was in a
manner drawn into that step察 and I thought it might steady me察
and set me up察 and you¨ll try to overlook my having such
expectations察 and upon my soul察I am very much obliged to you察
and very much ashamed of myself。 ̄ With these concluding words察

Mr George gives a shake to each of the hands he holds察 and察
relinquishing them察 backs a pace or two察 in a broad´chested
upright attitude察 as if he had made a final confession察 and were
immediately going to be shot with all military honours。
^George察 hear me out 院 says Mr Bagnet察 glancing at his wife。
^Old girl察go on 院
Mr Bagnet察being in this singular manner heard out察has merely
to observe that the letter must be attended to without any delay察
that it is advisable that George and he should immediately wait on
Mr Smallweed in person察 and that the primary object is to save
and hold harmless Mr Bagnet察 who had none of the money。 Mr
George entirely assenting察puts on his hat察and prepares to march
with Mr Bagnet to the enemy¨s camp。
^Don¨t you mind a woman¨s hasty word察 George察院 says Mrs
Bagnet察 patting him on the shoulder。 ^I trust my old Lignum to
you察and I am sure you¨ll bring him through it。 ̄
The trooper returns察 that this is kindly said察 and that he will
bring Lignum through it somehow。 Upon which Mrs Bagnet察with
her cloak察basket察and umbrella察goes home察bright´eyed again察to
the rest of her family察and the comrades sally forth on the hopeful
errand of mollifying Mr Smallweed。
Whether there are two people in England less likely to come
satisfactorily out of any negotiation with Mr Smallweed than Mr
George and Mr Matthew Bagnet察 may be very reasonably
questioned。 Also察notwithstanding their martial appearance察broad
square shoulders察and heavy tread察whether there are察within the
same limits察 two more simple and unaccustomed children察 in all
the Smallweedy affairs of life。 As they proceed with great gravity
through the streets towards the region of Mount Pleasant察 Mr

Bagnet察observing his companion to be thoughtful察 considers it a
friendly part to refer to Mrs Bagnet¨s late sally。
^George察you know the old girl!she¨s as sweet and as mild as
milk。 But touch her on the children!or myself!and she¨s off like
gunpowder。 ̄
^It does her credit察Mat 院
^George察院says Mr Bagnet察looking straight before him察 the old
girl!can¨t do anything!that don¨t do her credit。 More or less。 I
never say so。 Discipline must be maintained。 ̄
^She¨s worth her weight in gold察院returns the trooper。
^In gold拭院 says Mr Bagnet。 ^I¨ll tell you what。 The old girl¨s
weight!is twelve stone six。 Would I take that weight!in any
metal!for the old girl拭No。 Why not拭Because the old girl¨s metal
is far more precious!than the preciousest metal。 And she¨s all
metal 院
^You are right察Mat 院
^When she took me!and accepted of the ring!she `listed
under me and the children!heart and head察 for life。 She¨s that
earnest察院says Mr Bagnet察 and true to her colours!that察touch us
with a finger!and she turns out!and stands to her arms。 If the
old girl fires wide!once in a way!at the call of duty!look over it察
George。 For she¨s loyal 院
^Why bless her察Mat 院returns the trooper察 I think the higher
of her for it 院
^You are right 院says Mr Bagnet察with the warmest enthusiasm察
though without relaxing the rigidity of a single muscle。 ^Think as
high of the old girl!as the rock of Gibraltar!and still you¨ll be
thinking low!of such merits。 But I never own to it before her。
Discipline must be maintained。 ̄

These encomiums bring them to Mount Pleasant察 and to
Grandfather Smallweed¨s house。 The door is opened by the
perennial Judy察 who察 having surveyed them from top to toe with
no particular favour察 but indeed with a malignant sneer察 leaves
them standing there察 while she consults the oracle as to their
admission。 The oracle may be inferred to give consent察 from the
circumstance of her returning with the words on her honey lips
^that they can come in if they want to it。 ̄ Thus privileged they
come in察and find Mr Smallweed with his feet in the drawer of his
chair as if it were a paper footbath察and Mrs Smallweed obscured
with the cushion like a bird that is not to sing。
^My dear friend察院says Grandfather Smallweed察with those two
lean affectionate arms of his stretched forth。 ^How de do拭How de
do拭Who is our friend察my dear friend拭院
^Why this察院returns George察not able to be very conciliatory at
first察 is Matthew Bagnet察 who has obliged me in that matter of
ours察you know。 ̄
^Oh Mr Bagnet拭Surely 院the old man looks at him under his
hand。 ^Hope you¨re well察 Mr Bagnet拭 Fine man察 Mr George
Military air察sir 院
No chairs being offered察 Mr George brings one forward for
Bagnet察 and one for himself。 They sit down察 Mr Bagnet as if he
had no power of bending himself察 except at the hips for that
purpose。
^Judy察院says Mr Smallweed察 bring the pipe。 ̄
^Why察 I don¨t know察院 Mr George interposes察 that the young
woman need give herself that trouble察for to tell you the truth察I am
