    ^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

    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。

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

    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。
