The devil can quote Scripture1 for his purpose.
MERCHANT OF VENICE.
After leaving the proud mansion2 of the Duke of Buckingham, Christian3, full of the deep and treacherous4 schemes which he meditated5, hastened to the city, where, in a decent inn, kept by a person of his own persuasion6, he had been unexpectedly summoned to meet with Ralph Bridgenorth of Moultrassie. He was not disappointed — the Major had arrived that morning, and anxiously expected him. The usual gloom of his countenance8 was darkened into a yet deeper shade of anxiety, which was scarcely relieved, even while, in answer to his inquiry9 after his daughter, Christian gave the most favourable10 account of her health and spirits, naturally and unaffectedly intermingled with such praises of her beauty and her disposition11, as were likely to be most grateful to a father’s ear.
But Christian had too much cunning to expatiate12 on this theme, however soothing13. He stopped short exactly at the point where, as an affectionate relative, he might be supposed to have said enough. “The lady,” he said, “with whom he had placed Alice, was delighted with her aspect and manners, and undertook to be responsible for her health and happiness. He had not, he said, deserved so little confidence at the hand of his brother, Bridgenorth, as that the Major should, contrary to his purpose, and to the plan which they had adjusted together, have hurried up from the country, as if his own presence were necessary for Alice’s protection.”
“Brother Christian,” said Bridgenorth in reply, “I must see my child — I must see this person with whom she is entrusted15.”
“To what purpose?” answered Christian. “Have you not often confessed that the over excess of the carnal affection which you have entertained for your daughter, hath been a snare16 to you? — Have you not, more than once, been on the point of resigning those great designs which should place righteousness as a counsellor beside the throne, because you desired to gratify your daughter’s girlish passion for this descendant of your old persecutor17 — this Julian Peveril?”
“I own it,” said Bridgenorth; “and worlds would I have given, and would yet give, to clasp that youth to my bosom18, and call him my son. The spirit of his mother looks from his eye, and his stately step is as that of his father, when he daily spoke19 comfort to me in my distress20, and said, ‘The child liveth.’”
“But the youth walks,” said Christian, “after his own lights, and mistakes the meteor of the marsh21 for the Polar star. Ralph Bridgenorth, I will speak to thee in friendly sincerity22. Thou must not think to serve both the good cause and Baal. Obey, if thou wilt23, thine own carnal affections, summon this Julian Peveril to thy house, and let him wed24 thy daughter — But mark the reception she will meet with from the proud old knight25, whose spirit is now, even now, as little broken with his chains, as after the sword of the Saints had prevailed at Worcester. Thou wilt see thy daughter spurned26 from his feet like an outcast.”
“Christian,” said Bridgenorth, interrupting him, “thou dost urge me hard; but thou dost it in love, my brother, and I forgive thee — Alice shall never be spurned. — But this friend of thine — this lady — thou art my child’s uncle; and after me, thou art next to her in love and affection — Still, thou art not her father — hast not her father’s fears. Art thou sure of the character of this woman to whom my child is entrusted?”
“Am I sure of my own? — Am I sure that my name is Christian — yours Bridgenorth? — Is it a thing I am likely to be insecure in? — Have I not dwelt for many years in this city? — Do I not know this Court? — And am I likely to be imposed upon? For I will not think you can fear my imposing27 upon you.”
“Thou art my brother,” said Bridgenorth —“the blood and bone of my departed Saint — and I am determined28 that I will trust thee in this matter.”
“Thou dost well,” said Christian; “and who knows what reward may be in store for thee? — I cannot look upon Alice, but it is strongly borne in on my mind, that there will be work for a creature so excellent beyond ordinary women. Courageous29 Judith freed Bethulia by her valour, and the comely30 features of Esther made her a safeguard and a defence to her people in the land of captivity31, when she found favour in the sight of King Ahasuerus.”
“Be it with her as Heaven wills,” said Bridgenorth; “and now tell me what progress there is in the great work.”
“The people are weary of the iniquity32 of this Court,” said Christian; “and if this man will continue to reign33, it must be by calling to his councils men of another stamp. The alarm excited by the damnable practices of the Papists has called up men’s souls, and awakened34 their eyes to the dangers of their state. — He himself — for he will give up brother and wife to save himself — is not averse35 to a change of measures; and though we cannot at first see the Court purged36 as with a winnowing37 fan, yet there will be enough of the good to control the bad — enough of the sober party to compel the grant of that universal toleration, for which we have sighed so long, as a maiden38 for her beloved. Time and opportunity will lead the way to more thorough reformation; and that will be done without stroke of sword, which our friends failed to establish on a sure foundation, even when their victorious39 blades were in their hands.”
“May God grant it!” said Bridgenorth; “for I fear me I should scruple40 to do aught which should once more unsheath the civil sword; but welcome all that comes in a peaceful and parliamentary way.”
“Ay,” said Christian, “and which will bring with it the bitter amends41, which our enemies have so long merited at our hands. How long hath our brother’s blood cried for vengeance42 from the altar! — Now shall that cruel Frenchwoman find that neither lapse43 of years, nor her powerful friends, nor the name of Stanley, nor the Sovereignty of Man, shall stop the stern course of the pursuer of blood. Her name shall be struck from the noble, and her heritage shall another take.”
“Nay, but, brother Christian,” said Bridgenorth, “art thou not over eager in pursuing this thing? — It is thy duty as a Christian to forgive thine enemies.”
“Ay, but not the enemies of Heaven — not those who shed the blood of the saints,” said Christian, his eyes kindling44 that vehement45 and fiery46 expression which at times gave to his uninteresting countenance the only character of passion which it ever exhibited. “No, Bridgenorth,” he continued, “I esteem47 this purpose of revenge holy — I account it a propitiatory48 sacrifice for what may have been evil in my life. I have submitted to be spurned by the haughty49 — I have humbled50 myself to be as a servant; but in my breast was the proud thought, I who do this — do it that I may avenge52 my brother’s blood.”
“Still, my brother,” said Bridgenorth, “although I participate thy purpose, and have aided thee against this Moabitish woman, I cannot but think thy revenge is more after the law of Moses than after the law of love.”
“This comes well from thee, Ralph Bridgenorth,” answered Christian; “from thee, who has just smiled over the downfall of thine own enemy.”
“If you mean Sir Geoffrey Peveril,” said Bridgenorth, “I smile not on his ruin. It is well he is abased53; but if it lies with me, I may humble51 his pride, but will never ruin his house.”
“You know your purpose best,” said Christian; “and I do justice, brother Bridgenorth, to the purity of your principles; but men who see with but worldly eyes, would discern little purpose of mercy in the strict magistrate54 and severe creditor55 — and such have you been to Peveril.”
“And, brother Christian,” said Bridgenorth, his colour rising as he spoke, “neither do I doubt your purpose, nor deny the surprising address with which you have procured56 such perfect information concerning the purposes of yonder woman of Ammon. But it is free to me to think, that in your intercourse57 with the Court, and with courtiers, you may, in your carnal and worldly policy, sink the value of those spiritual gifts, for which you were once so much celebrated58 among the brethren.”
“Do not apprehend59 it,” said Christian, recovering his temper, which had been a little ruffled60 by the previous discussion. “Let us but work together as heretofore; and I trust each of us shall be found doing the work of a faithful servant to that good old cause for which we have heretofore drawn61 the sword.”
So saying, he took his hat, and bidding Bridgenorth farewell, declared his intention of returning in the evening.
“Fare thee well!” said Bridgenorth; “to that cause wilt thou find me ever a true and devoted62 adherent63. I will act by that counsel of thine, and will not even ask thee — though it may grieve my heart as a parent — with whom, or where, thou hast entrusted my child. I will try to cut off, and cast from me, even my right hand, and my right eye; but for thee, Christian, if thou dost deal otherwise than prudently65 and honestly in this matter, it is what God and man will require at thy hand.”
“Fear not me,” said Christian hastily, and left the place, agitated66 by reflections of no pleasant kind.
“I ought to have persuaded him to return,” he said, as he stepped out into the street. “Even his hovering67 in this neighbourhood may spoil the plan on which depends the rise of my fortunes — ay, and of his child’s. Will men say I have ruined her, when I shall have raised her to the dazzling height of the Duchess of Portsmouth, and perhaps made her a mother to a long line of princes? Chiffinch hath vouched68 for opportunity; and the voluptuary’s fortune depends upon his gratifying the taste of his master for variety. If she makes an impression, it must be a deep one; and once seated in his affections, I fear not her being supplanted69. — What will her father say? Will he, like a prudent64 man, put his shame in his pocket, because it is well gilded70? or will he think it fitting to make a display of moral wrath71 and parental72 frenzy73? I fear the latter — He has ever kept too strict a course to admit his conniving74 at such licence. But what will his anger avail? — I need not be seen in the matter — those who are will care little for the resentment75 of a country Puritan. And after all, what I am labouring to bring about is best for himself, the wench, and above all, for me, Edward Christian.”
With such base opiates did this unhappy wretch76 stifle77 his own conscience, while anticipating the disgrace of his friend’s family, and the ruin of a near relative, committed in confidence to his charge. The character of this man was of no common description; nor was it by an ordinary road that he had arrived at the present climax78 of unfeeling and infamous79 selfishness.
Edward Christian, as the reader is aware, was the brother of that William Christian, who was the principal instrument in delivering up the Isle80 of Man to the Republic, and who became the victim of the Countess of Derby’s revenge on that account. Both had been educated as Puritans, but William was a soldier, which somewhat modified the strictness of his religious opinions; Edward, a civilian81, seemed to entertain these principles in the utmost rigour. But it was only seeming. The exactness of deportment, which procured him great honour and influence among the sober party, as they were wont82 to term themselves, covered a voluptuous83 disposition, the gratification of which was sweet to him as stolen waters, and pleasant as bread eaten in secret. While, therefore, his seeming godliness brought him worldly gain, his secret pleasures compensated84 for his outward austerity; until the Restoration, and the Countess’s violent proceedings85 against his brother interrupted the course of both. He then fled from his native island, burning with the desire of revenging his brother’s death — the only passion foreign to his own gratification which he was ever known to cherish, and which was also, at least, partly selfish, since it concerned the restoration of his own fortunes.
He found easy access to Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, who, in right of his Duchess, claimed such of the Derby estate as had been bestowed87 by the Parliament on his celebrated father-inlaw, Lord Fairfax. His influence at the Court of Charles, where a jest was a better plea than a long claim of faithful service, was so successfully exerted, as to contribute greatly to the depression of that loyal and ill-rewarded family. But Buckingham was incapable89, even for his own interest, of pursuing the steady course which Christian suggested to him; and his vacillation90 probably saved the remnant of the large estates of the Earl of Derby.
Meantime, Christian was too useful a follower91 to be dismissed. From Buckingham, and others of that stamp, he did not affect to conceal92 the laxity of his morals; but towards the numerous and powerful party to which he belonged, he was able to disguise them by a seeming gravity of exterior93, which he never laid aside. Indeed, so wide and absolute was then the distinction betwixt the Court and the city, that a man might have for some time played two several parts, as in two different spheres, without its being discovered in the one that he exhibited himself in a different light in the other. Besides, when a man of talent shows himself an able and useful partisan94, his party will continue to protect and accredit95 him, in spite of conduct the most contradictory96 to their own principles. Some facts are, in such cases, denied — some are glossed97 over — and party zeal98 is permitted to cover at least as many defects as ever doth charity.
Edward Christian had often need of the partial indulgence of his friends; but he experienced it, for he was eminently99 useful. Buckingham, and other courtiers of the same class, however dissolute in their lives, were desirous of keeping some connection with the Dissenting100 or Puritanic party, as it was termed; thereby101 to strengthen themselves against their opponents at Court. In such intrigues102, Christian was a notable agent; and at one time had nearly procured an absolute union between a class which professed104 the most rigid105 principles of religion and morality, and the latitudinarian courtiers, who set all principle at defiance106.
Amidst the vicissitudes107 of a life of intrigue103, during which Buckingham’s ambitious schemes, and his own, repeatedly sent him across the Atlantic, it was Edward Christian’s boast that he never lost sight of his principal object — revenge on the Countess of Derby. He maintained a close and intimate correspondence with his native island, so as to be perfectly108 informed of whatever took place there; and he stimulated109, on every favourable opportunity, the cupidity110 of Buckingham to possess himself of this petty kingdom, by procuring111 the forfeiture112 of its present Lord. It was not difficult to keep his patron’s wild wishes alive on this topic, for his own mercurial113 imagination attached particular charms to the idea of becoming a sort of sovereign even in this little island; and he was, like Catiline, as covetous114 of the property of others, as he was profuse115 of his own.
But it was not until the pretended discovery of the Papist Plot that the schemes of Christian could be brought to ripen116; and then, so odious117 were the Catholics in the eyes of the credulous118 people of England, that, upon the accusation119 of the most infamous of mankind, common informers, the scourings of jails, and the refuse of the whipping-post, the most atrocious charges against persons of the highest rank and fairest character were readily received and credited.
This was a period which Christian did not fail to improve. He drew close his intimacy120 with Bridgenorth, which had indeed never been interrupted, and readily engaged him in his schemes, which, in the eyes of his brother-inlaw, were alike honourable121 and patriotic122. But, while he flattered Bridgenorth with the achieving a complete reformation in the state — checking the profligacy123 of the Court — relieving the consciences of the Dissenters124 from the pressures of the penal125 laws — amending126, in fine, the crying grievances127 of the time — while he showed him also, in prospect128, revenge upon the Countess of Derby, and a humbling129 dispensation on the house of Peveril, from whom Bridgenorth had suffered such indignity130, Christian did not neglect, in the meanwhile, to consider how he could best benefit himself by the confidence reposed131 in him by his unsuspicious relation.
The extreme beauty of Alice Bridgenorth — the great wealth which time and economy had accumulated on her father — pointed7 her out as a most desirable match to repair the wasted fortunes of some of the followers132 of the Court; and he flattered himself that he could conduct such a negotiation133 so as to be in a high degree conducive134 to his own advantage. He found there would be little difficulty in prevailing135 on Major Bridgenorth to entrust14 him with the guardianship137 of his daughter. That unfortunate gentleman had accustomed himself, from the very period of her birth, to regard the presence of his child as a worldly indulgence too great to be allowed to him; and Christian had little trouble in convincing him that the strong inclination138 which he felt to bestow86 her on Julian Peveril, provided he could be brought over to his own political opinions, was a blameable compromise with his more severe principles. Late circumstances had taught him the incapacity and unfitness of Dame139 Debbitch for the sole charge of so dear a pledge; and he readily and thankfully embraced the kind offer of her maternal140 uncle, Christian, to place Alice under the protection of a lady of rank in London, whilst he himself was to be engaged in the scenes of bustle141 and blood, which, in common with all good Protestants, he expected was speedily to take place on a general rising of the Papists, unless prevented by the active and energetic measures of the good people of England. He even confessed his fears, that his partial regard for Alice’s happiness might enervate142 his efforts in behalf of his country; and Christian had little trouble in eliciting143 from him a promise, that he would forbear to inquire after her for some time.
Thus certain of being the temporary guardian136 of his niece for a space long enough, he flattered himself, for the execution of his purpose, Christian endeavoured to pave the way by consulting Chiffinch, whose known skill in Court policy qualified144 him best as an adviser145 on this occasion. But this worthy146 person, being, in fact, a purveyor147 for his Majesty’s pleasures, and on that account high in his good graces, thought it fell within the line of his duty to suggest another scheme than that on which Christian consulted him. A woman of such exquisite148 beauty as Alice was described, he deemed more worthy to be a partaker of the affections of the merry Monarch149, whose taste in female beauty was so exquisite, than to be made the wife of some worn-out prodigal150 of quality. And then, doing perfect justice to his own character, he felt it would not be one whit151 impaired152, while his fortune would be, in every respect, greatly amended153, if, after sharing the short reign of the Gwyns, the Davises, the Robertses, and so forth154, Alice Bridgenorth should retire from the state of a royal favourite, into the humble condition of Mrs. Chiffinch.
After cautiously sounding Christian, and finding that the near prospect of interest to himself effectually prevented his starting at this iniquitous155 scheme, Chiffinch detailed156 it to him fully88, carefully keeping the final termination out of sight, and talking of the favour to be acquired by the fair Alice as no passing caprice, but the commencement of a reign as long and absolute as that of the Duchess of Portsmouth, of whose avarice157 and domineering temper Charles was now understood to be much tired, though the force of habit rendered him unequal to free himself of her yoke158.
Thus chalked out, the scene prepared was no longer the intrigue of a Court pander159, and a villainous resolution for the ruin of an innocent girl, but became a state intrigue, for the removal of an obnoxious160 favourite, and the subsequent change of the King’s sentiments upon various material points, in which he was at present influenced by the Duchess of Portsmouth. In this light it was exhibited to the Duke of Buckingham, who, either to sustain his character for daring gallantry, or in order to gratify some capricious fancy, had at one time made love to the reigning161 favourite, and experienced a repulse162 which he had never forgiven.
But one scheme was too little to occupy the active and enterprising spirit of the Duke. An appendix of the Popish Plot was easily so contrived163 as to involve the Countess of Derby, who, from character and religion, was precisely164 the person whom the credulous part of the public were inclined to suppose the likely accomplice165 of such a conspiracy166. Christian and Bridgenorth undertook the perilous167 commission of attacking her even in her own little kingdom of Man, and had commissions for this purpose, which were only to be produced in case of their scheme taking effect.
It miscarried, as the reader is aware, from the Countess’s alert preparations for defence; and neither Christian nor Bridgenorth held it sound policy to practise openly, even under parliamentary authority, against a lady so little liable to hesitate upon the measures most likely to secure her feudal168 sovereignty; wisely considering that even the omnipotence169, as it has been somewhat too largely styled, of Parliament, might fail to relieve them from the personal consequences of a failure.
On the continent of Britain, however, no opposition170 was to be feared; and so well was Christian acquainted with all the motions in the interior of the Countess’s little court, or household, that Peveril would have been arrested the instant he set foot on shore, but for the gale171 of wind which obliged the vessel172, in which he was a passenger, to run for Liverpool. Here Christian, under the name of Ganlesse, unexpectedly met with him, and preserved him from the fangs173 of the well-breathed witnesses of the Plot, with the purpose of securing his despatches, or, if necessary, his person also, in such a manner as to place him at his own discretion174 — a narrow and perilous game, which he thought it better, however, to undertake, than to permit these subordinate agents, who were always ready to mutiny against all in league with them, to obtain the credit which they must have done by the seizure175 of the Countess of Derby’s despatches. It was, besides, essential to Buckingham’s schemes that these should not pass into the hands of a public officer like Topham, who, however pompous176 and stupid, was upright and well-intentioned, until they had undergone the revisal of a private committee, where something might have probably been suppressed, even supposing that nothing had been added. In short, Christian, in carrying on his own separate and peculiar177 intrigue, by the agency of the Great Popish Plot, as it was called, acted just like an engineer, who derives178 the principle of motion which turns his machinery179, by means of a steam-engine, or large water-wheel, constructed to drive a separate and larger engine. Accordingly, he was determined that, while he took all the advantage he could from their supposed discoveries, no one should be admitted to tamper180 or interfere181 with his own plans of profit and revenge.
Chiffinch, who, desirous of satisfying himself with his own eyes of that excellent beauty which had been so highly extolled182, had gone down to Derbyshire on purpose, was infinitely183 delighted, when, during the course of a two hours’ sermon at the dissenting chapel184 in Liverpool, which afforded him ample leisure for a deliberate survey, he arrived at the conclusion that he had never seen a form or face more captivating. His eyes having confirmed what was told him, he hurried back to the little inn which formed their place of rendezvous185, and there awaited Christian and his niece, with a degree of confidence in the success of their project which he had not before entertained; and with an apparatus186 of luxury, calculated, as he thought, to make a favourable impression on the mind of a rustic187 girl. He was somewhat surprised, when, instead of Alice Bridgenorth, to whom he expected that night to have been introduced, he found that Christian was accompanied by Julian Peveril. It was indeed a severe disappointment, for he had prevailed on his own indolence to venture this far from the Court, in order that he might judge, with his own paramount188 taste, whether Alice was really the prodigy189 which her uncle’s praises had bespoken190 her, and, as such, a victim worthy of the fate to which she was destined191.
A few words betwixt the worthy confederates determined them on the plan of stripping Peveril of the Countess’s despatches; Chiffinch absolutely refusing to take any share in arresting him, as a matter of which his Master’s approbation192 might be very uncertain.
Christian had also his own reasons for abstaining193 from so decisive a step. It was by no means likely to be agreeable to Bridgenorth, whom it was necessary to keep in good humour; — it was not necessary, for the Countess’s despatches were of far more importance than the person of Julian. Lastly, it was superfluous194 in this respect also, that Julian was on the road to his father’s castle, where it was likely he would be seized, as a matter of course, along with the other suspicious persons who fell under Topham’s warrant, and the denunciations of his infamous companions. He, therefore, far from using any violence to Peveril, assumed towards him such a friendly tone, as might seem to warn him against receiving damage from others, and vindicate196 himself from having any share in depriving him of his charge. This last manoeuvre197 was achieved by an infusion198 of a strong narcotic199 into Julian’s wine; under the influence of which he slumbered200 so soundly, that the confederates were easily able to accomplish their inhospitable purpose.
The events of the succeeding days are already known to the reader. Chiffinch set forward to return to London, with the packet, which it was desirable should be in Buckingham’s hands as soon as possible; while Christian went to Moultrassie, to receive Alice from her father, and convey her safely to London — his accomplice agreeing to defer201 his curiosity to see more of her until they should have arrived in that city.
Before parting with Bridgenorth, Christian had exerted his utmost address to prevail on him to remain at Moultrassie; he had even overstepped the bounds of prudence202, and, by his urgency, awakened some suspicions of an indefinite nature, which he found it difficult to allay203. Bridgenorth, therefore, followed his brother-inlaw to London; and the reader has already been made acquainted with the arts which Christian used to prevent his farther interference with the destinies of his daughter, or the unhallowed schemes of her ill-chosen guardian. Still Christian, as he strode along the street in profound reflection, saw that his undertaking204 was attended with a thousand perils205; and the drops stood like beads206 on his brow when he thought of the presumptuous207 levity208 and fickle209 temper of Buckingham — the frivolity210 and intemperance211 of Chiffinch — the suspicions of the melancholy212 and bigoted213, yet sagacious and honest Bridgenorth. “Had I,” he thought, “but tools fitted, each to their portion of the work, how easily could I heave asunder214 and disjoint the strength that opposes me! But with these frail215 and insufficient216 implements217, I am in daily, hourly, momentary218 danger, that one lever or other gives way, and that the whole ruin recoils219 on my own head. And yet, were it not for those failings I complain of, how were it possible for me to have acquired that power over them all which constitutes them my passive tools, even when they seem most to exert their own free will? Yes, the bigots have some right when they affirm that all is for the best.”
It may seem strange, that, amidst the various subjects of Christian’s apprehension220, he was never visited by any long or permanent doubt that the virtue221 of his niece might prove the shoal on which his voyage should be wrecked222. But he was an arrant195 rogue223, as well as a hardened libertine224; and, in both characters, a professed disbeliever in the virtue of the fair sex.
