"I ask this of you, Johanna Oakley," he said, "because I have resolved to make all the exertion2 in my power to discover what has become of Mr. Thornhill, in whose fate I am sure I have succeeded in interesting you, although you care so little for the string of pearls which he has in trust for you."
"I do, indeed, care little for them," said Johanna, "so little, that it may be said to amount to nothing."
"But still they are yours, and you ought to have the option of disposing of them as you please. It is not well to despise such gifts of fortune; for if you can yourself do nothing with them, there are surely some others whom you may know, upon whom they would bestow3 great happiness."
"A string of pearls, great happiness?" said Johanna, inquiringly.
"Your mind is so occupied by your grief that you quite forget such strings4 are of great value. I have seen those pearls, Johanna, and can assure you that they are in themselves a fortune."
"I suppose," she said sadly, "it is too much for human nature to expect two blessings6 at once. I had the fond, warm heart that loved me without the fortune, that would have enabled us to live in comfort and affluence7; and now, when that is perchance within my grasp, the heart, that was by far the more costly8 possession, and the richest jewel of them all, lies beneath the wave with its bright influences, and its glorious and romantic aspirations9, quenched10 for ever."
"You will meet me then, as I request of you, to hear if I have any news for you?"
"I will endeavour so to do. I have all the will; but Heaven knows if I may have the power."
"What mean you, Johanna?"
"I cannot tell what a week's anxiety may do; I know not but a sick bed may be my resting-place, until I exchange it for the tomb. I feel even now my strength fail me, and that I am scarcely able to totter11 to my home. Farewell, sir! I owe you my best thanks, as well for the trouble you have taken, as for the kindly12 manner in which you have detailed13 to me what has passed."
"Remember," said Colonel Jeffery, "that I bid you adieu, with the hope of meeting you again."
It was thus they parted, and Johanna proceeded to her father's house. Who now that had met her and had chanced not to see that sweet face, which could never be forgotten, would have supposed her to be the once gay and sprightly14 Johanna Oakley? Her steps were sad and solemn, and all the juvenile15 elasticity16 of her frame seemed like one prepared for death; and she hoped that she would be able to glide17, silently and unobserved, to her own little bed-chamber18—that chamber where she had slept since she was a child, and on the little couch, on which she had so often laid down to sleep that holy and calm slumber19 which such hearts as hers can only know. But she was doomed20 to be disappointed, for the Rev21. Mr. Lupin was still there, and as Mrs. Oakley had placed before that pious22 individual a great assortment23 of creature comforts, and among the rest some mulled wine, which seemed particularly to agree with him, he showed no disposition24 to depart. It unfortunately happened that this wine, of which the reverend gentleman partook with such a holy relish25, was kept in a cellar, and Mrs. Oakley had had occasion twice to go down to procure26 a fresh supply, and it was on a third journey for the same purpose that she encountered poor Johanna, who had just let herself in at the private door.
"Oh! you have come home, have you?" said Mrs. Oakley; "I wonder where you have been to, gallivanting; but I suppose I may wonder long enough before you will tell me. Go into the parlour, I want to speak to you."
Now poor Johanna had quite forgotten the very existence of Mr. Lupin—so, rather than explain to her mother, which she knew would beget27 more questions, she wished to go to bed at once, notwithstanding it was an hour before the usual time for so doing. She walked unsuspectingly into the parlour, and as Mr. Lupin was sitting, the slightest movement of his chair closed the door, so she could not escape. Under any other circumstances probably Johanna would have insisted upon leaving the apartment; but a glance at the countenance28 of the pious individual was quite sufficient to convince her that he had been sacrificing sufficiently29 to Bacchus to be capable of any amount of effrontery30, so that she dreaded31 passing him, more especially as he swayed his arms about like the sails of a windmill. She thought at least that when her mother returned she would rescue her; but in that hope she was mistaken, and Johanna had no more idea of the extent to which religious fanaticism32 will carry its victim, than she had of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of the moon. When Mrs. Oakley did return, she had some difficulty in getting into the apartment, inasmuch as Mr. Lupin's chair occupied so large a portion of it; but when she did obtain admission, and Johanna said—
"Mother, I beg of you to protect me against this man, and allow me a free passage from the apartment!"
"How dare you speak so disrespectfully of a chosen vessel35? How dare you, I say, do such a thing—it's enough to drive any one mad to see the young girls now-a-days!"
"Don't snub her—don't snub the virgin," said Mr. Lupin; "she don't know the honour yet that's intended her."
"She don't deserve it," said Mrs. Oakley, "she don't deserve it."
"Never mind, madam—never mind; we—we—we don't get all what we deserve in this world."
"Yes; I—I rather think I have a little. Isn't it a shame that anybody so intimate with the Lord should have the hiccups? What a lot of lights you have got burning, Mrs. Oakley!"
"A lot of lights, Mr. Lupin! Why, there is only one; but perhaps you allude37 to the lights of the gospel?"
"No; I—I don't, just at present; damn the lights of the gospel—that is to say, I mean damn all backsliders! But there is a lot of lights, and no mistake, Mrs. Oakley. Give me a drop of something, I'm as dry as dust."
"There is some more mulled wine, Mr. Lupin; but I am surprised that you think there is more than one light."
"It's a miracle madam, in consequence of my great faith. I have faith in s—s—s—six lights, and here they are."
"Do you see that, Johanna?" exclaimed Mrs. Oakley, "are you not convinced now of the holiness of Mr. Lupin?"
"Tell her of the honour," said Mr. Lupin—"tell her of the honour."
"I don't know, Mr. Lupin; but don't you think it would be better to take some other opportunity?"
"Very well, then, this is the opportunity."
"If it's your pleasure, Mr. Lupin, I will. You must know, then, Johanna, that Mr. Lupin has been kind enough to consent to save my soul, on condition that you marry him, and I am quite sure you can have no reasonable objection; indeed, I think it's the least you can do, whether you have any objection or not."
"Well put," said Mr. Lupin, "excellently well put."
"Mother," said Johanna, "if you are so far gone in superstition39, as to believe this miserable40 drunkard ought to come between you and heaven, I am so lost as not to be able to reject the offer with more scorn and contempt than ever I thought I could have entertained for any human being; but hypocrisy41 never, to my mind, wears so disgusting a garb42 as when it attires43 itself in the outward show of religion."
"This conduct is unbearable," cried Mrs. Oakley; "am I to have one of the Lord's saints under my own roof?"
"If he were ten times a saint, mother, instead of being nothing but a miserable, drunken profligate44, it would be better that he should be insulted ten times over, than that you should permit your own child to have passed through the indignity45 of having to reject such a proposition as that which has just been made. I must claim the protection of my father; he will not suffer one, towards whom he has ever shown an affection, the remembrance of which sinks deep into my heart, to meet with so cruel an insult beneath his roof."
"That's right, my dear," cried Mr. Oakley, at that moment pushing open the parlour-door. "That's right, my dear; you never spoke46 truer words in all your life."
A faint scream came from Mrs. Oakley, and the Rev. Mr. Lupin immediately seized upon the fresh jug47 of mulled wine, and finished it at a draught48.
"Get behind me, Satan," he said. "Mr. Oakley, you will be damned if you say a word to me."
"It's all the same, then," said Mr. Oakley; "for I'll be damned if I don't. Then, Ben! Ben! come—come in, Ben."
"I'm a coming," said a deep voice, and a man about six feet four inches in height, and nearly two-thirds of that amount in width, entered the parlour. "I'm a coming, Oakley, my boy. Put on your blessed spectacles, and tell me which is the fellow."
"I could have sworn it," said Mrs. Oakley, as she gave the table a knock with her fist,—"I could have sworn when you came in, Oakley—I could have sworn, you little snivelling, shrivelled-up wretch49, you'd no more have dared to come into this parlour as never was with those words in your mouth, than you'd have dared to have flown, if you hadn't had your cousin, Big Ben, the beef-eater, from the Tower, with you."
"Take it easy, ma'am," said Ben, as he sat down in a chair, which immediately broke all to pieces with his weight. "Take it easy, ma'am; the devil—what's this?"
"Never mind, Ben," said Mr. Oakley, "it's only a chair; get up."
"A cheer," said Ben; "do you call that a cheer? but never mind—take it easy."
"Go on, marm, go on."
"You good-for-nothing lump of carrion52; a dog wears his own coat, but you wear your master's, you great stupid, overgrown, lurking53 hound. You parish-brought-up wild beast, go and mind your lions and elephants in the Tower, and don't come into honest people's houses, you cut-throat, bullying, pickpocketing54 wretch."
"Go on, marm, go on."
This was a kind of dialogue that could not last, and Mrs. Oakley sank down exhausted55, and then Ben said—
"I tell you what, marm, I considers you—I looks upon you, marm, as a female wariety of that ere animal as is very useful and sagacious, marm."
There was no mistake in this allusion56, and Mrs. Oakley was about to make some reply, when the Rev. Mr. Lupin rose from his chair, saying—
"Bless you all! I think I'll go home."
"Not yet, Mr. Tulip," said Ben; "you had better sit down again—we've got something to say to you."
"Young man, young man, let me pass. If you do not, you will endanger your soul."
"I aint got none," said Ben; "I'm only a beef-eater, and don't pretend to such luxuries."
"The heathen!" exclaimed Mrs. Oakley, "the horrid57 heathen! but there's one consolation58, and that is, that he will be fried in his own fat for everlasting59."
"Oh, that's nothing," said Ben; "I think I shall like it, especially if it's any pleasure to you. I suppose that's what you call a Christian60 consolation. Will you sit down, Mr. Tulip?"
"My name aint Tulip, but Lupin; but if you wish it, I don't mind sitting down, of course."
The beef-eater, with a movement of his foot, kicked away the reverend gentleman's chair, and down he sat with a dab61 upon the floor.
"My dear," said Mr. Oakley to Johanna, "you go to bed, and then your mother can't say you have anything to do with this affair. I intend to rid my house of this man. Good night, my dear, good night."
Johanna kissed her father on the cheek, and then left the room, not at all sorry that so vigorous a movement was about being made for the suppression of Mr. Lupin. When she was gone, Mrs. Oakley spoke, saying—
"Mr. Lupin, I bid you good night, and, of course, after the rough treatment of these wretches62, I can hardly expect you to come again. Good night, Mr. Lupin, good night."
"That's all very well, marm," said Ben, "but before this ere wild beast of a parson goes away, I want to admonish63 him. He don't seem to be wide awake, and I must rouse him up."
Ben took hold of the reverend gentleman's nose, and gave it such an awful pinch, that when he took his finger and thumb away, it was perfectly64 blue.
"Murder! oh, murder! my nose! my nose!" shrieked65 Mr. Lupin, and at that moment Mrs. Oakley, who was afraid to attack Ben, gave her husband such an open-handed whack66 on the side of his head, that the little man reeled again, and saw a great many more lights than the Rev. Mr. Lupin had done under the influence of the mulled wine.
"Very good," said Ben; "now we are getting into, the thick of it."
Big Ben Compels Mr. Lupin To Do Penance.
With this Ben took from his pocket a coil of rope, one end of which was a noose68, and that he dexterously69 threw over Mrs. Oakley's head.
"Murder!" she shrieked. "Oakley, are you going to see me murdered before your eyes?"
"There is such a singing in my ears," said Mr. Oakley, "that I can't see anything."
"This is the way," said Ben, "we manages the wild beastesses when they shuts their ears to all sorts of argument. Now, marm, if you please, a little this way."
Ben looked about until he found a strong hook in the wall, over which, in consequence of his great height, he was enabled to draw the rope, and then the other end of it he tied securely to the leg of a heavy secretaire that was in the room, so that Mrs. Oakley was well secured.
"Murder!" she cried. "Oakley, are you a man, that you stand by and see me treated in this way by this big brute70?"
"I can't see anything," said Mr. Oakley; "there is such a singing in my ears; I told you so before—I can't see anything."
"Now, ma'am, you may just say what you like," said Ben; "it won't matter a bit, any more than the grumbling71 of a bear with a sore head; and as for you, Mr. Tulip, you'll just get down on your knees, and beg Mr. Oakley's pardon for coming and drinking his tea without his leave, and having the infernal impudence72 to speak to his daughter."
"Don't do it, Mr. Lupin," cried Mrs. Oakley—"don't do it."
"You hear," said Ben, "what the lady advises. Now, I am quite different; I advise you to do it—for, if you don't, I shan't hurt you, but it strikes me I shall be obliged to fall on you and crush you."
"I think I will," said Mr. Lupin: "the saints were always forced to yield to the Philistines73."
"Young man, young man, let me exhort75 you. Allow me to go, and I will put up prayers for your conversion76."
"Confound your impudence! what do you suppose the beasts in the Tower would do, if I was converted? Why, that 'ere tiger, we have had lately, would eat his own tail, to think as I had turned out such an ass5. Come, I can't waste any more of my precious time; and if you don't get down on your knees directly, we'll see what we can do."
"Very good; now repeat after me.—I am a wolf that stole sheeps' clothing."
"Yes; 'I am a wolf that stole sheeps' clothing'—the Lord forgive me."
"Oh dear, yes—'all that's wirtuous is my loathing.'"
"Mr. Oakley, I have offended."
"Yes; I am a miserable sinner, Mr. Oakley, I have offended."
"And asks his pardon, on my bended—"
"Oh dear, yes—I asks his pardon on my bended—The Lord have mercy upon us, miserable sinners!"
"Knees—I won't do so no more."
"Yes,—knees, I won't do so no more."
"As sure as I lies on this floor."
"Yes,—as sure as I lies on this floor.—Death and the devil, you've killed me!"
Ben took hold of the reverend gentleman by the back of the neck, and pressed his head down upon the floor, until his nose, which had before been such a sufferer, was nearly completely flattened79 with his face.
"Now you may go;" said Ben.
Mr. Lupin scrambled80 to his feet; but Ben followed him into the passage, and did not yet let him go, until he had accelerated his movements by two hearty81 kicks. And then the victorious82 beef-eater returned to the parlour.
"Why, Ben," said Mr. Oakley, "you are quite a poet."
"I believe you, Oakley, my boy," said Ben, "and now let us be off, and have a pint83 round the corner."
"What!" exclaimed Mrs. Oakley, "and leave me here, you wretches?"
"Yes," said Ben, "unless you promises never to be a female variety of a useful animal again, and begs pardon of Mr. Oakley, for giving him all this trouble; as for me, I'll let you off cheap, you shall only give me a kiss, and say you loves me."
"If I do, may I be—"
"Damned, you mean."
"No, I don't; choked I was going to say."
"Then you may be choked, for you have nothing to do but to let your legs go from under you, and you will be hung as comfortable as possible—come along, Oakley."
"Mr. Oakley—stop, stop—don't leave me here. I am sorry."
"That's enough," said Mr. Oakley; "and now, my dear, bear in mind one thing from me—I intend from this time forward to be master in my own house. If you and I are to live together, we must do so on very different terms to what we have been living, and if you won't make yourself agreeable, Lawyer Hutchins tells me that I can turn you out and give you a maintenance; and, in that case, I'll have my sister Rachel home to mind house for me; so now you know my determination, and what you have to expect. If you wish to begin, well, do so at once, by getting something nice and tasty for Ben's supper."
Mrs. Oakley made the required promise, and being released, she set about preparations for the supper in real earnest, but whether was really subdued84 or not we shall, in due time, see.
