But in this latter view he was opposed by everybody except his wife; by his uncle, by Tom, by the vicar, and by nobody more strongly than by Messrs. Perrins and Hoskyns. The cry from all was--take your trial; let your innocence be proved, as proved it must be, and assume the name and position that are rightfully yours. Edith, with her head resting on his shoulder, only said: "Do that which seems best to you in your own heart, dearest, and that alone. Whether you go or stay, my place is by your side--my love unalterable. Only to be with you--never to lose you again--is all I ask. Give me that: I crave11 for nothing more."
Strange to say, the person who brought matters to a climax12, and finally decided13 Lionel as to his future course of action, was the girl Nell, Mother Mim's plain-spoken grand-daughter. Through some channel or other she had heard of the death of Mr. St. George, and one day she marched up the steps at Park Newton, and rang the big bell, and asked, as bold as brass15, to see the General. The General was one of the most accessible of men, and when told that the girl wanted to see him privately16, he marched off at once to the library, and ordered her to be admitted.
It was a strange story the girl had to tell--so strange that the General at first put her down as a common impostor. Fortunately Mr. Perrins happened to be still at Park Newton, and he at once called the shrewd old lawyer to his assistance.
But Miss Nell was now taken with a stubborn fit, and refused either to say any more or to answer any more questions, till five pounds had been given her as an earnest of more to follow, in case her information should prove to be correct. The five pounds having been put into her hands, she told all that she knew freely enough, and answered every question that was put to her. Then she was dismissed for the time being, having first left an address where she might be found when wanted.
Nell had told them how the body of Dirty Jack17 had been found dead on the moor18, and the first point to ascertain19 was, what had become of the confession20 which was known to have been in his possession when he left Mother Mim's cottage? Had it been found on his person? If so, where was it now? It was rather singular that Mr. St. George should be the last person known to have been seen in the company of Skeggs. The second question was, where was Mr. Bendall to be found? Mr. Perrins set to work without delay to solve this latter problem, by engaging one of Mr. Hoskyns's confidential21 clerks to make the requisite22 inquiries23 for him. To the first question, the whereabouts of the confession, he determined25 to give his own personal attention. But before he had an opportunity of doing this, he found among the papers of Kester the very document itself--the original confession, duly witnessed by Skeggs and the girl Nell. A day or two later Mr. Bendall was also found, and--for a consideration--had no objection to tell all he knew of the affair. His evidence, and that given in the confession, tallied26 exactly. There could no longer be any moral doubt as to the fact of Kester St. George having been a son of Mother Mim.
This revelation was not without its effect on the question Lionel was still debating in his own mind. It armed his uncle and Tom with one weapon more in favour of the course they were desirous that he should pursue. If Kester St. George were not Lionel's cousin, if he were not related to the family in any way, there was less reason than ever why Lionel should not declare himself, why he should not give himself up, and let his own innocence be proved once and for ever, by proving the guilt4 of this other man.
Even Edith at last added her persuasions27 to those of his uncle and the others, and when this became the case Lionel could hold out no longer. Exactly a week after the death of Kester St. George (as we may as well continue to call him) Lionel Dering walked into the police-station at Duxley, and gave himself up into the hands of the sergeant29 on duty.
Mr. Drayton was astounded30, as well he might be. "How can you be Mr. Dering?" he said. Lionel being now close-shaved, did not tally31 with the superintendent's recollection of him. "I saw that gentleman lying dead in his coffin32 in the church of San Michele, in Italy, and I could have sworn to him anywhere."
"What you saw, Mr. Drayton, was a cleverly-executed waxen effigy33, and not the man himself. Me you did see and talk to, but without recognizing me. At all events here I am, alive and well, and if you will kindly34 lock me up, I shall esteem35 it a favour."
"I was never so sold in the whole course of my life," said Drayton. "But there's one comfort--Sergeant Whiffins was just as much sold as I was."
At the ensuing summer assizes Lionel Dering was again put on his trial for the murder of Percy Osmond. Janvard, whose safety had been carefully looked after by a private detective in the guise36 of a guest at his hotel, was admitted as evidence for the Crown, and without leaving their box a verdict of Not Guilty was found by the jury. Never had such a scene been known in Duxley as was enacted37 that summer afternoon, when Lionel Dering walked down the steps of the Court-house a free man. A landau was in waiting, into which he was lifted by main force. No horses were needed, or would have been allowed. Relays of the crowd dragged the carriage all the way to Park Newton, in company with two brass bands, and all the flags that the town could muster38. Lionel's arm had never ached so much as it did that evening, after he had shaken hands with a great multitude of his friends--and every man and boy prided himself upon being Mr. Dering's friend that day. As for the ladies, they had their own way of showing their sympathy with him. Half the children in the parish that came to light during the next twelve months were christened either Edith or Lionel.
The post-mortem examination showed that heart disease of long standing39 was the proximate cause of Kester St. George's death. He was buried not in the family vault40 where the St. Georges for two centuries lay in silent state, but in the town cemetery41. The grave was marked by a plain slab42, on which was engraved43 simply the initials of the name he had always been known by, and the date of his death.
"I warned him of it long ago," said Dr. Bolus to two or three fellows at Kester's old club, as he stood with his back to the fire and his coat tails thrown over his arms. "But whose warnings are sooner forgotten than a doctor's? By living away from London, and leading a perfectly44 quiet and temperate45 life, he might have been kept going for years. But, above all things, he should have avoided excitement of every kind."
Lionel and Edith put off for a little while their long-talked-of tour in order that they might be present at the wedding of Tom and Jane. The ceremony took place in August. Tom and his bride went to Scotland for their honeymoon46. Lionel and his wife started for Switzerland, en route for Italy, where they were to spend the ensuing winter.
Of late the Squire47 had recovered his health wonderfully. He seemed to have grown ten years younger in a few weeks. In the working of that wonderful coal-shaft, and in the prospect48 of his making a far larger fortune for his daughter than the one he so foolishly lost, he found a perpetual source of healthy excitement, which, by keeping both his mind and body actively49 and legitimately50 employed, had an undoubted tendency to lengthen51 his life. Besides this, Tom had asked him to superintend the construction of his new house. It was just the sort of job that the Squire delighted in--to look sharply after a lot of working men, and while pretending that they were all in a league to cheat him, blowing them up heartily52 all round one half-hour, and treating them to unlimited53 beer the next.
"I should like to see you in the Town Council, Bristow," said the Squire one day to his son-in-law.
"Thank you, sir, all the same," said Tom, "but it's hardly good enough. There will be a general election before we are much older, when I mean, either by hook or by crook54, to get into the House."
"Bristow, you have the cheek of the Deuce himself," was all that the astonished Squire could say.
It may just be remarked that Tom's ambition has since been gratified. He is now, and has been for some time, member for W----. He is clever, ambitious, and a tolerable orator55, as oratory56 is reckoned nowadays. What may not such a man aspire57 to?
Mr. Hoskyns is a frequent guest both of Tom and Lionel. Chatting with the former one day over the "walnuts58 and the wine," said the old man: "I have often puzzled my brain over that affair of Baldry's--that positive assertion of his that he saw and spoke14 to me one night in the Thornfield Road when I was most certainly not there. Have you ever thought about it since?"
"Once or twice, I dare say, but I could have enlightened you at the time had I chosen to do so. It was I whom Baldry met. I had made myself up to resemble you, and previously59 to my visit to the prison in your character, I thought I would try the effect of my disguise upon somebody who had known you well for years. As it so happened, Baldry was the first of your acquaintances whom I encountered on my nocturnal ramble60. The rest you know."
"You young vagabond! And yet you have the audacity61 to call yourself a respectable member of society. Perhaps you can explain the mystery of the ghostly footsteps at Park Newton when poor Pearce, the butler, was frightened out of the small quantity of wit that he could lay claim to?"
"That, too, I can explain. The ghostly footsteps, as it happened, were very corporeal62 footsteps, being those of none other than your humble63 servant."
"But how did you get into the room? It had been nailed up months before."
"The nailing up was more apparent than real. The nails were sham64 nails. The door could be unlocked at any time, and the room entered in the ordinary way."
"But how about the cough--Mr. Osmond's peculiar65 cough?"
"That was an imitation by me from lessons given me by Mr. Dering. It answered the purpose admirably for which it was intended."
"To hear such sounds at midnight in a room where a man had been murdered was enough to shake the strongest nerves. I wonder you were not frightened yourself to be in the room."
"That would have been ridiculous. There was nothing to be afraid of."
"In any extraordinary circumstances I shall never believe the evidence of my own senses again."
Mr. Cope was not long in perceiving that he had committed a grave error of judgment66 in refusing Mr. Culpepper the assistance he had asked for. There would be a splendid fortune for Jane after all. It was enough to make a man tear his hair with vexation--only Mr. Cope hadn't much hair to tear--to think what a golden chance he had let slip through his fingers. Edward was recalled at once on the slight chance that if a meeting could anyhow be brought about between him and Jane, the old flame might spring up with renewed ardour in the young lady's bosom67, in which case she might insist upon her engagement with Edward being carried out. But Edward bore his disappointment very philosophically68, and had not been three hours in Duxley before he found himself eating pastry69, and being ministered to by Miss Moggs, who was still unmarried, and still as plump and smiling as ever.
Three weeks later the good people of Duxley were treated to a delightful70 sensation. Mr. Cope, Junior, had run away with the daughter of Mr. Moggs, the confectioner, and Mr. Cope, Senior, had threatened to cut his son off with the well-known metaphorical71 shilling.
The latest news of young Mr. Cope is, that he is living in furnished apartments in a cheap suburb of London. The late Miss Moggs, her plumpness notwithstanding, has developed into a Tartar. They have six children. Mr. Cope's income is exactly two hundred a-year, left him by his mother. His father will not give him a penny, and he is either too lazy, or too incompetent72, to attempt to add to his means by a little honest work. He is very stout73 and very short of breath. When he has any money he spends his time in a neighbouring billiard-room, smoking a short pipe and drinking half-and-half, and watching other men play. When he has no money he stops at home and rocks the cradle, and listens to his wife's reproaches. Mrs. Cope vows74 that she will buy a mangle75 and make her husband turn it, and try whether she cannot shame him into work that way. And all this is the result of eating pastry and being waited upon by a pretty girl.
After the trial was over, Nell, by means of some speciously-concocted tale, contrived76 to cozen77 General St. George out of twenty pounds. With this she disappeared, and was never either seen or heard of in Duxley or its neighbourhood again.
During the time that Lionel and his wife were abroad the General went with his friend, Major Beauchamp, to Madeira, and wintered there.
It had been Lionel's intention to stay abroad for about three years. But as it fell out, he and Edith were back at Park Newton by the end of twelve months, being brought thither78 by the expectation of an all-important event. Lionel has not since then left home for more than a month at a time. So full of painful memories was Park Newton to him, that it was only by Edith's persuasion28 that he was induced to settle there at all. But years have come and gone since then, and nothing would now induce him to live anywhere else. Whatever gloomy associations might otherwise have clung to the old house have been exorcised long ago by the merry laughter of children. It was difficult at first for the Echoes of that murder-haunted roof to bring themselves to mimic79 the soft syllables80 of childhood, but when one little stranger after another came to teach them, then their voices, rusty81 and creaky at first through long disuse, gradually won back to themselves a long-forgotten sweetness; and now the Echoes follow the children wherever they go, and all the grim old pile is musical with the laughter and songs and free joyous82 shouts of childhood. Many a time they have a bout24 together--the children and the Echoes--trying which of them can make the more noise; and then the children call to the Echoes and bid them come out of their hiding-places and show themselves in the dusky twilight83; but the Echoes only laugh back their answer, and are ever too timid to let themselves be seen.
Who, of all people in the world, should be the children's primest favourite and slave but General St. George? His heart is in the nursery, and there he spends hours every day. He "keeps shop" with them, he plays at soldiers with them, he is their horse, their roaring lion, their wild man of the woods. It is certainly amusing to see the old warrior84, whose very name was once a word of terror among the lawless hill-tribes of the far East see him led about by one boy by means of a piece of string tied round his arm, and while another youthful scapegrace deafens85 you with the noise of a drum, to watch him imitate, with dangling86 paws, the uncouth87 gracefulness88 of a dancing bear. There can be no doubt on one point--that the old soldier enjoys himself quite as much as the children do.
After his year's imprisonment was at an end--to which mitigated89 punishment Janvard was condemned90, in consideration of his having acted as witness for the Crown--he and his sister went over to Switzerland, and opened an hotel there at one of the chief centres of tourist travel. There, not long ago, he was encountered by Lionel. Smirking91, bowing, and rubbing his hands, Janvard went up to him, with a request that Monsieur Dering would do him the honour of stopping at his hotel. But Lionel would have nothing to do with him, and when Janvard could be made to comprehend this, his face became a study of mortification92 and surprise. His feelings, such as they were, were evidently hurt. He never could be made to understand why Monsieur Dering had refused so positively93 to take up his quarters at the Lion d'Or.
In a world that is full of permutation and change, there are happily a few things that change not. One of these is the friendship between Lionel and Tom, which neither time nor absence, nor the growth of other interests has power to alter in the least. When they both happen to be in Midlandshire at the same time, a week never passes without their seeing more or less of each other, and between their wives there is almost as firm a friendship as there is between themselves. Four people more united, more happy in each other's society, it would be impossible to find.
It was only last summer, during the long spell of hot weather, that Edith and Jane, with their youngsters, went over to Gatehouse Farm together, for the sake of the fresh sea breezes that seem to blow perpetually round the old house. They were sitting one day on the broad yellow sands, idling through the glowing afternoon, with their embroidery94 and a novel, when one of Jane's little girls happened to fall and hurt her finger. She began to cry, and Edith's little boy was by her side in a moment.
"Don't cry," he said, as he stooped and kissed her. "I will marry you when I grow to be a big man."
The little girl's tears at once ceased to flow. The two ladies looked up. Their eyes met, and they both smiled.
"Such a thing is by no means improbable," said Edith.
"I shall not be a bit surprised if it really comes to pass," replied Jane.
