“It’s done!” she exclaimed. How could she regret what she felt comfort to know was done? Convinced that events alone could stamp a mark on such stubborn flesh, he determined14 to wait for them, and crouched15 silent on the cake, with one finger downward at Ripton’s incision16 there, showing a crumbling17 chasm18 and gloomy rich recess19.
The eloquent20 indication was understood. “Dear! dear!” cried Mrs. Berry, “what a heap o’ cake, and no one to send it to!”
Ripton had resumed his seat by the table and his embrace of the claret. Clear ideas of satisfaction had left him and resolved to a boiling geysir of indistinguishable transports. He bubbled, and waggled, and nodded amicably21 to nothing, and successfully, though not without effort, preserved his uppermost member from the seductions of the nymph, Gravitation, who was on the look-out for his whole length shortly.
“Ha! ha!” he shouted, about a minute after Mrs. Berry had spoken, and almost abandoned himself to the nymph on the spot. Mrs. Berry’s words had just reached his wits.
“Why do you laugh, young man?” she inquired, familiar and motherly on account of his condition.
Ripton laughed louder, and caught his chest on the edge of the table and his nose on a chicken. “That’s goo’!” he said, recovering, and rocking under Mrs. Berry’s eyes. “No friend!”
“I did not say, no friend,” she remarked. “I said, no one; meanin’, I know not where for to send it to.”
Ripton’s response to this was: “You put a Griffin on that cake. Wheatsheaves each side.”
“His crest22?” Mrs. Berry said sweetly.
“Oldest baronetcy ‘n England!” waved Ripton.
“Yes?” Mrs. Berry encouraged him on.
“You think he’s Richards. We’re oblige’ be very close. And she’s the most lovely! — If I hear man say thing ‘gainst her.”
“You needn’t for to cry over her, young man,” said Mrs. Berry. “I wanted for to drink their right healths by their right names, and then go about my day’s work, and I do hope you won’t keep me.”
Ripton stood bolt upright at her words.
“You do?” he said, and filling a bumper23 he with cheerfully vinous articulation24 and glibness25 of tongue proposed the health of Richard and Lucy Feverel, of Raynham Abbey! and that mankind should not require an expeditious26 example of the way to accept the inspiring toast, he drained his bumper at a gulp27. It finished him. The farthing rushlight of his reason leapt and expired. He tumbled to the sofa and there stretched.
Some minutes subsequent to Ripton’s signalization of his devotion to the bridal pair, Mrs. Berry’s maid entered the room to say that a gentleman was inquiring below after the young gentleman who had departed, and found her mistress with a tottering28 wineglass in her hand, exhibiting every symptom of unconsoled hysterics. Her mouth gaped29, as if the fell creditor had her by the swallow. She ejaculated with horrible exultation30 that she had been and done it, as her disastrous31 aspect seemed to testify, and her evident, but inexplicable32, access of misery33 induced the sympathetic maid to tender those caressing34 words that were all Mrs. Berry wanted to go off into the self-caressing fit without delay; and she had already given the preluding demoniac ironic35 outburst, when the maid called heaven to witness that the gentleman would hear her; upon which Mrs. Berry violently controlled her bosom36, and ordered that he should be shown upstairs instantly to see her the wretch37 she was. She repeated the injunction.
The maid did as she was told, and Mrs. Berry, wishing first to see herself as she was, mutely accosted38 the looking-glass, and tried to look a very little better. She dropped a shawl on Ripton and was settled, smoothing her agitation39 when her visitor was announced.
The gentleman was Adrian Harley. An interview with Tom Bakewell had put him on the track, and now a momentary40 survey of the table, and its white-vestured cake, made him whistle.
Mrs. Berry plaintively41 begged him to do her the favour to be seated.
“A fine morning, ma’am,” said Adrian.
“It have been!” Mrs. Berry answered, glancing over her shoulder at the window, and gulping42 as if to get her heart down from her mouth.
“A very fine Spring,” pursued Adrian, calmly anatomizing her countenance43.
Mrs. Berry smothered44 an adjective to “weather” on a deep sigh. Her wretchedness was palpable. In proportion to it, Adrian waxed cheerful and brisk. He divined enough of the business to see that there was some strange intelligence to be fished out of the culprit who sat compressing hysterics before him; and as he was never more in his element than when he had a sinner, and a repentant45 prostrate46 abject47 sinner in hand, his affable countenance might well deceive poor Berry.
“I presume these are Mr. Thompson’s lodgings48?” he remarked, with a look at the table.
Mrs. Berry’s head and the whites of her eyes informed him that they were not Mr. Thompson’s lodgings.
“No?” said Adrian, and threw a carelessly inquisitive49 eye about him. “Mr. Feverel is out, I suppose?”
A convulsive start at the name, and two corroborating50 hands dropped on her knees, formed Mrs. Berry’s reply.
“Mr. Feverel’s man,” continued Adrian, “told me I should be certain to find him here. I thought he would be with his friend, Mr. Thompson. I’m too late, I perceive. Their entertainment is over. I fancy you have been having a party of them here, ma’am? — a bachelors’ breakfast!”
In the presence of that cake this observation seemed to mask an irony51 so shrewd that Mrs. Berry could barely contain herself. She felt she must speak. Making her face as deplorably propitiating52 as she could, she began:
“Sir, may I beg for to know your name?”
Mr. Harley accorded her request.
Groaning53 in the clutch of a pitiless truth, she continued:
“And you are Mr. Harley, that was — oh! and you’ve come for Mr.?”——
Mr. Richard Feverel was the gentleman Mr. Harley had come for.
“Oh! and it’s no mistake, and he’s of Raynham Abbey?” Mrs. Berry inquired.
Adrian, very much amused, assured her that he was born and bred there.
“His father’s Sir Austin?” wailed54 the black-satin bunch from behind her handkerchief.
Adrian verified Richard’s descent.
“Oh, then, what have I been and done!” she cried, and stared blankly at her visitor. “I been and married my baby! I been and married the bread out of my own mouth. O Mr. Harley! Mr. Harley! I knew you when you was a boy that big, and wore jackets; and all of you. And it’s my softness that’s my ruin, for I never can resist a man’s asking. Look at that cake, Mr. Harley!”
Adrian followed her directions quite coolly. “Wedding-cake, ma’am!” he said.
“Bride-cake it is, Mr. Harley!”
“Did you make it yourself, ma’am?”
The quiet ease of the question overwhelmed Mrs. Berry, and upset that train of symbolic55 representations by which she was seeking to make him guess the catastrophe56 and spare her the furnace of confession57.
“I did not make it myself, Mr. Harley,” she replied. “It’s a bought cake, and I’m a lost woman. Little I dreamed when I had him in my arms a baby that I should some day be marrying him out of my own house! I little dreamed that! Oh, why did he come to me! Don’t you remember his old nurse, when he was a baby in arms, that went away so sudden, and no fault of hers, Mr. Harley! The very mornin’ after the night you got into Mr. Benson’s cellar, and got so tipsy on his Madeary I remember it as clear as yesterday! — and Mr. Benson was that angry he threatened to use the whip to you, and I helped put you to bed. I’m that very woman.”
Adrian smiled placidly58 at these reminiscences of his guileless youthful life.
“Well, ma’am! well?” he said. He would bring her to the furnace.
“Won’t you see it all, kind sir?” Mrs. Berry appealed to him in pathetic dumb show.
Doubtless by this time Adrian did see it all, and was mentally cursing at Folly59, and reckoning the immediate60 consequences, but he looked uninstructed, his peculiar61 dimple-smile was undisturbed, his comfortable full-bodied posture62 was the same. “Well, ma’am?” he spurred her on.
Mrs. Berry burst forth63: “It were done this mornin’, Mr. Harley, in the church, at half-past eleven of the clock, or twenty to, by licence.”
Adrian was now obliged to comprehend a case of matrimony. “Oh!” he said, like one who is as hard as facts, and as little to be moved: “Somebody was married this morning; was it Mr. Thompson, or Mr. Feverel?”
Mrs. Berry shuffled64 up to Ripton, and removed the shawl from him, saying: “Do he look like a new married bridegroom, Mr. Harley?”
Adrian inspected the oblivious65 Ripton with philosophic66 gravity.
“This young gentleman was at church this morning?” he asked.
“Oh, quite reasonable and proper then,” Mrs. Berry begged him to understand.
“Of course, ma’am.” Adrian lifted and let fall the stupid inanimate limbs of the gone wretch, puckering67 his mouth queerly. “You were all reasonable and proper, ma’am. The principal male performer, then, is my cousin, Mr. Feverel? He was married by you, this morning, by licence at your parish church, and came here, and ate a hearty68 breakfast, and left intoxicated69.”
Mrs. Berry flew out. “He never drink a drop, sir. A more moderate young gentleman you never see. Oh! don’t ye think that now, Mr. Harley. He was as upright and master of his mind as you be.”
“Ay!” the wise youth nodded thanks to her for the comparison, “I mean the other form of intoxication70.”
Mrs. Berry sighed. She could say nothing on that score.
Adrian desired her to sit down, and compose herself, and tell him circumstantially what had been done.
She obeyed, in utter perplexity at his perfectly71 composed demeanour.
Mrs. Berry, as her recital72 declared, was no other than that identical woman who once in old days had dared to behold73 the baronet behind his mask, and had ever since lived in exile from the Raynham world on a little pension regularly paid to her as an indemnity74. She was that woman, and the thought of it made her almost accuse Providence75 for the betraying excess of softness it had endowed her with. How was she to recognize her baby grown a man? He came in a feigned76 name; not a word of the family was mentioned. He came like an ordinary mortal, though she felt something more than ordinary to him — she knew she did. He came bringing a beautiful young lady, and on what grounds could she turn her back on them? Why, seeing that all was chaste77 and legal, why should she interfere78 to make them unhappy — so few the chances of happiness in this world! Mrs. Berry related the seizure79 of her ring.
“One wrench,” said the sobbing80 culprit, “one, and my ring was off!”
She had no suspicions, and the task of writing her name in the vestry-book had been too enacting81 for a thought upon the other signatures.
“I daresay you were exceedingly sorry for what you had done,” said Adrian.
“Indeed, sir,” moaned Berry, “I were, and am.”
“And would do your best to rectify82 the mischief83 — eh, ma’am?”
“Indeed, and indeed, sir, I would,” she protested solemnly.
“— As, of course, you should — knowing the family. Where may these lunatics have gone to spend the Moon?”
Mrs. Berry swimmingly replied: “To the Isle84 —— I don’t quite know, sir!” she snapped the indication short, and jumped out of the pit she had fallen into. Repentant as she might be, those dears should not be pursued and cruelly balked85 of their young bliss86! “To-morrow, if you please, Mr. Harley: not today!”
“A pleasant spot,” Adrian observed, smiling at his easy prey87.
By a measurement of dates he discovered that the bridegroom had brought his bride to the house on the day he had quitted Raynham, and this was enough to satisfy Adrian’s mind that there had been concoction88 and chicanery89. Chance, probably, had brought him to the old woman: chance certainly had not brought him to the young one.
“Very well, ma’am,” he said, in answer to her petitions for his favourable90 offices with Sir Austin in behalf of her little pension and the bridal pair, “I will tell him you were only a blind agent in the affair, being naturally soft, and that you trust he will bless the consummation. He will be in town tomorrow morning; but one of you two must see him to-night. An emetic91 kindly92 administered will set our friend here on his legs. A bath and a clean shirt, and he might go. I don’t see why your name should appear at all. Brush him up, and send him to Bellingham by the seven o’clock train. He will find his way to Raynham; he knows the neighbourhood best in the dark. Let him go and state the case. Remember, one of you must go.”
With this fair prospect93 of leaving a choice of a perdition between the couple of unfortunates, for them to fight and lose all their virtue94 over, Adrian said, “Good morning.”
Mrs. Berry touchingly95 arrested him. “You won’t refuse a piece of his cake, Mr. Harley?”
“Oh, dear, no, ma’am,” Adrian turned to the cake with alacrity96. “I shall claim a very large piece. Richard has a great many friends who will rejoice to eat his wedding-cake. Cut me a fair quarter, Mrs. Berry. Put it in paper, if you please. I shall be delighted to carry it to them, and apportion97 it equitably98 according to their several degrees of relationship.”
Mrs. Berry cut the cake. Somehow, as she sliced through it, the sweetness and hapless innocence99 of the bride was presented to her, and she launched into eulogies100 of Lucy, and clearly showed how little she regretted her conduct. She vowed101 that they seemed made for each other; that both were beautiful; both had spirit; both were innocent; and to part them, or make them unhappy, would be, Mrs. Berry wrought102 herself to cry aloud, oh, such a pity!
Adrian listened to it as the expression of a matter-of-fact opinion. He took the huge quarter of cake, nodded multitudinous promises, and left Mrs. Berry to bless his good heart.
“So dies the System!” was Adrian’s comment in the street. “And now let prophets roar! He dies respectably in a marriage-bed, which is more than I should have foretold103 of the monster. Meantime,” he gave the cake a dramatic tap, “I’ll go sow nightmares.”
