I procured1 a new lodging3. By some bias4 of the mind, it may be, gratifying itself with images of peril5, I inclined to believe that Mrs. Marney’s alarm had not been without foundation. I was however unable to conjecture6 through what means danger had approached me; and had therefore only the unsatisfactory remedy of redoubling my watch upon all my actions. Still I had the joint7 considerations pressing upon me of security and subsistence. I had some small remains8 of the produce of my former industry; but this was but small, for my employer was in arrear9 with me, and I did not choose in any method to apply to him for payment. The anxieties of my mind, in spite of all my struggles, preyed10 upon my health. I did not consider myself as in safety for an instant. My appearance was wasted to a shadow; and I started at every sound that was unexpected. Sometimes I was half tempted12 to resign myself into the hands of the law, and brave its worst; but resentment13 and indignation at those times speedily flowed back upon my mind, and re-animated my perseverance14.
I knew no better resource with respect to subsistence than that I had employed in the former instance, of seeking some third person to stand between me and the disposal of my industry. I might find an individual ready to undertake this office in my behalf; but where should I find the benevolent15 soul of Mrs. Marney? The person I fixed16 upon was a Mr. Spurrel, a man who took in work from the watchmakers, and had an apartment upon our second floor. I examined him two or three times with irresolute17 glances, as we passed upon the stairs, before I would venture to accost18 him. He observed this, and at length kindly19 invited me into his apartment.
Being seated, he condoled20 with me upon my seeming bad health, and the solitary21 mode of my living, and wished to know whether he could be of any service to me. “From the first moment he saw me, he had conceived an affection for me.” In my present disguise I appeared twisted and deformed22, and in other respects by no means an object of attraction. But it seemed Mr. Spurrel had lost an only son about six months before, and I was “the very picture of him.” If I had put off my counterfeited23 ugliness, I should probably have lost all hold upon his affections. “He was now an old man,” as he observed, “just dropping into the grave, and his son had been his only consolation24. The poor lad was always ailing25, but he had been a nurse to him; and the more tending he required while he was alive, the more he missed him now he was dead. Now he had not a friend, nor any body that cared for him, in the whole world. If I pleased, I should be instead of that son to him, and he would treat me in all respects with the same attention and kindness.”
I expressed my sense of these benevolent offers, but told him that I should be sorry to be in any way burthensome to him. “My ideas at present led me to a private and solitary life, and my chief difficulty was to reconcile this with some mode of earning necessary subsistence. If he would condescend26 to lend me his assistance in smoothing this difficulty, it would be the greatest benefit he could confer on me.” I added, that “my mind had always had a mechanical and industrious27 turn, and that I did not doubt of soon mastering any craft to which I seriously applied28 myself. I had not been brought up to any trade; but, if he would favour me with his instructions, I would work with him as long as he pleased for a bare subsistence. I knew that I was asking of him an extraordinary kindness; but I was urged on the one hand by the most extreme necessity, and encouraged on the other by the persuasiveness29 of his friendly professions.”
The old man dropped some tears over my apparent distress30, and readily consented to every thing I proposed. Our agreement was soon made, and I entered upon my functions accordingly. My new friend was a man of a singular turn of mind. Love of money, and a charitable officiousness of demeanour, were his leading characteristics. He lived in the most penurious31 manner, and denied himself every indulgence. I entitled myself almost immediately, as he frankly32 acknowledged, to some remuneration for my labours, and accordingly he insisted upon my being paid. He did not however, as some persons would have done under the circumstance, pay me the whole amount of my earnings33, but professed34 to subtract from them twenty per cent, as an equitable35 consideration for instruction, and commission-money in procuring36 me a channel for my industry. Yet he frequently shed tears over me, was uneasy in every moment of our indispensable separation, and exhibited perpetual tokens of attachment37 and fondness. I found him a man of excellent mechanical contrivance, and received considerable pleasure from his communications. My own sources of information were various; and he frequently expressed his wonder and delight in the contemplation of my powers, as well of amusement as exertion38.
Thus I appeared to have attained39 a situation not less eligible40 than in my connection with Mrs. Marney. I was however still more unhappy. My fits of despondence were deeper, and of more frequent recurrence41. My health every day grew worse; and Mr. Spurrel was not without apprehensions43 that he should lose me, as he before lost his only son.
I had not been long however in this new situation, before an incident occurred which filled me with greater alarm and apprehension42 than ever. I was walking out one evening, after a long visitation of languor44, for an hour’s exercise and air, when my ears were struck with two or three casual sounds from the mouth of a hawker who was bawling45 his wares46. I stood still to inform myself more exactly, when, to my utter astonishment47 and confusion, I heard him deliver himself nearly in these words: “Here you have the MOST WONDERFUL AND SURPRISING HISTORY AND MIRACULOUS48 ADVENTURES OF CALEB WILLIAMS: you are informed how he first robbed, and then brought false accusations49 against his master; as also of his attempting divers50 times to break out of prison, till at last he effected his escape in the most wonderful and uncredible manner; as also of his travelling the kingdom in various disguises, and the robberies he committed with a most desperate and daring gang of thieves; and of his coming up to London, where it is supposed he now lies concealed51; with a true and faithful copy of the hue52 and cry printed and published by one of his Majesty’s most principal secretaries of state, offering a reward of one hundred guineas for apprehending53 him. All for the price of one halfpenny.”
Petrified54 as I was at these amazing and dreadful sounds, I had the temerity55 to go up to the man and purchase one of his papers. I was desperately56 resolved to know the exact state of the fact, and what I had to depend upon. I carried it with me a little way, till, no longer able to endure the tumult57 of my impatience58, I contrived59 to make out the chief part of its contents, by the help of a lamp, at the upper end of a narrow passage. I found it contain a greater number of circumstances than could have been expected in this species of publication, I was equalled to the most notorious housebreaker in the art of penetrating60 through walls and doors, and to the most accomplished61 swindler in plausibleness, duplicity, and disguise. The hand-bill which Larkins had first brought to us upon the forest was printed at length. All my disguises, previously62 to the last alarm that had been given me by the providence63 of Mrs. Marney, were faithfully enumerated64; and the public were warned to be upon their watch against a person of an uncouth65 and extraordinary appearance, and who lived in a recluse66 and solitary manner. I also learned from this paper that my former lodgings67 had been searched on the very evening of my escape, and that Mrs. Marney had been sent to Newgate, upon a charge of misprision of felony.— This last circumstance affected68 me deeply. In the midst of my own sufferings my sympathies flowed undiminished. It was a most cruel and intolerable idea, if I were not only myself to be an object of unrelenting persecution69, but my very touch were to be infectious, and every one that succoured me was to be involved in the common ruin. My instant feeling was that of a willingness to undergo the utmost malice70 of my enemies, could I by that means have saved this excellent woman from alarm and peril.— I afterwards learned that Mrs. Marney was delivered from confinement71, by the interposition of her noble relation.
My sympathy for Mrs. Marney however was at this moment a transient one. A more imperious and irresistible72 consideration demanded to be heard.
With what sensations did I ruminate73 upon this paper? Every word of it carried despair to my heart. The actual apprehension that I dreaded74 would perhaps have been less horrible. It would have put an end to that lingering terror to which I was a prey11. Disguise was no longer of use. A numerous class of individuals, through every department, almost every house of the metropolis75, would be induced to look with a suspicious eye upon every stranger, especially every solitary stranger, that fell under their observation. The prize of one hundred guineas was held out to excite their avarice76 and sharpen their penetration77. It was no longer Bow-street, it was a million of men in arms against me. Neither had I the refuge, which few men have been so miserable78 as to want, of one single individual with whom to repose79 my alarms, and who might shelter me from the gaze of indiscriminate curiosity.
What could exceed the horrors of this situation? My heart knocked against my ribs80, my bosom81 heaved, I gasped82 and panted for breath. “There is no end then,” said I, “to my persecutors! My unwearied and long-continued labours lead to no termination! Termination! No; the lapse83 of time, that cures all other things, makes my case more desperate! Why then,” exclaimed I, a new train of thought suddenly rushing into my mind, “why should I sustain the contest any longer? I can at least elude84 my persecutors in death. I can bury myself and the traces of my existence together in friendly oblivion; and thus bequeath eternal doubt, and ever new alarm, to those who have no peace but in pursuing me!”
In the midst of the horrors with which I was now impressed, this idea gave me pleasure; and I hastened to the Thames to put it in instant execution. Such was the paroxysm of my mind that my powers of vision became partially85 suspended. I was no longer conscious to the feebleness of disease, but rushed along with fervent86 impetuosity. I passed from street to street without observing what direction I pursued. After wandering I know not how long, I arrived at London Bridge. I hastened to the stairs, and saw the river covered with vessels87.
“No human being must see me,” said I, “at the instant that I vanish for ever.” This thought required some consideration. A portion of time had elapsed since my first desperate purpose. My understanding began to return. The sight of the vessels suggested to me the idea of once more attempting to leave my native country.
I enquired89, and speedily found that the cheapest passage I could procure2 was in a vessel88 moored90 near the Tower, and which was to sail in a few days for Middleburgh in Holland. I would have gone instantly on board, and have endeavoured to prevail with the captain to let me remain there till he sailed; but unfortunately I had not money enough in my pocket to defray my passage.
It was worse than this. I had not money enough in the world. I however paid the captain half his demand, and promised to return with the rest. I knew not in what manner it was to be procured, but I believed that I should not fail in it. I had some idea of applying to Mr. Spurrel. Surely he would not refuse me? He appeared to love me with parental91 affection, and I thought I might trust myself for a moment in his hands.
I approached my place of residence with a heavy and foreboding heart. Mr. Spurrel was not at home; and I was obliged to wait for his return. Worn out with fatigue92, disappointment, and the ill state of my health, I sunk upon a chair. Speedily however I recollected93 myself. I had work of Mr. Spurrel’s in my trunk, which had been delivered out to me that very morning, to five times the amount I wanted. I canvassed94 for a moment whether I should make use of this property as if it were my own; but I rejected the idea with disdain95. I had never in the smallest degree merited the reproaches that were east upon me; and I determined96 I never would merit them. I sat gasping97, anxious, full of the blackest forebodings. My terrors appeared, even to my own mind, greater and more importunate98 than the circumstances authorised.
It was extraordinary that Mr. Spurrel should be abroad at this hour; I had never known it happen before. His bed-time was between nine and ten. Ten o’clock came, eleven o’clock, but not Mr. Spurrel. At midnight I heard his knock at the door. Every soul in the house was in bed. Mr. Spurrel, on account of his regular hours, was unprovided with a key to open for himself. A gleam, a sickly gleam, of the social spirit came over my heart. I flew nimbly down stairs, and opened the door.
I could perceive, by the little taper99 in my hand, something extraordinary in his countenance100. I had not time to speak, before I saw two other men follow him. At the first glance I was sufficiently101 assured what sort of persons they were. At the second, I perceived that one of them was no other than Gines himself. I had understood formerly102 that he had been of this profession, and I was not surprised to find him in it again. Though I had for three hours endeavoured, as it were, to prepare myself for the unavoidable necessity of falling once again into the hands of the officers of law, the sensation I felt at their entrance was indescribably agonising. I was besides not a little astonished at the time and manner of their entrance; and I felt anxious to know whether Mr. Spurrel could be base enough to have been their introducer.
I was not long held in perplexity. He no sooner saw his followers103 within the door, than he exclaimed, with convulsive eagerness, “There, there, that is your man! thank God! thank God!” Gines looked eagerly in my face, with a countenance expressive104 alternately of hope and doubt, and answered, “By God, and I do not know whether it be or no! I am afraid we are in the wrong box!” Then recollecting105 himself, “We will go into the house, and examine further however.” We all went up stairs into Mr. Spurrel’s room; I set down the candle upon the table. I had hitherto been silent; but I determined not to desert myself, and was a little encouraged to exertion by the scepticism of Gines. With a calm and deliberate manner therefore, in my feigned106 voice, one of the characteristics of which was lisping, I asked, “Pray, gentlemen, what may be your pleasure with me?”—“Why,” said Gines, “our errand is with one Caleb Williams, and a precious rascal107 he is! I ought to know the chap well enough; but they say he has as many faces as there are days in the year. So you please to pull off your face; or, if you cannot do that, at least you can pull off your clothes, and let us see what your hump is made of.”
I remonstrated108, but in vain. I stood detected in part of my artifice109; and Gines, though still uncertain, was every moment more and more confirmed in his suspicions. Mr. Spurrel perfectly110 gloated, with eyes that seemed ready to devour111 every thing that passed. As my imposture112 gradually appeared more palpable, he repeated his exclamation113, “Thank God! thank God!” At last, tired with this scene of mummery, and disgusted beyond measure with the base and hypocritical figure I seemed to exhibit, I exclaimed, “Well, I am Caleb Williams; conduct me wherever you please! And now, Mr. Spurrel!”— He gave a violent start. The instant I declared myself his transport had been at the highest, and was, to any power he was able to exert, absolutely uncontrollable. But tile unexpectedness of my address, and the tone in which I spoke114, electrified115 him.—“Is it possible,” continued I, “that you should have been the wretch116 to betray me? What have I done to deserve this treatment? Is this the kindness you professed? the affection that was perpetually in your mouth? to be the death of me!”
“My poor boy! my dear creature!” cried Spurrel, whimpering, and in a tone of the humblest expostulation, “indeed I could not help it! I would have helped it, if I could! I hope they will not hurt my darling! I am sure I shall die if they do!”
“Miserable driveller!” interrupted I, with a stern voice, “do you betray me into the remorseless fangs117 of the law, and then talk of my not being hurt? I know my sentence, and am prepared to meet it! You have fixed the halter upon my neck, and at the same price would have done so to your only son! Go, count your accursed guineas I My life would have been safer in the hands of one I had never seen than in yours, whose mouth and whose eyes for ever ran over with crocodile affection!”
I have always believed that my sickness, and, as he apprehended118, approaching death, contributed its part to the treachery of Mr. Spurrel. He predicted to his own mind the time when I should no longer be able to work. He recollected with agony the expense that attended his son’s illness and death. He determined to afford me no assistance of a similar kind. He feared however the reproach of deserting me. He feared the tenderness of his nature. He felt, that I was growing upon his affections, and that in a short time he could not have deserted119 me. He was driven by a sort of implicit120 impulse, for the sake of avoiding one ungenerous action, to take refuge in another, the basest and most diabolical121. This motive122, conjoining with the prospect123 of the proffered124 reward, was an incitement125 too powerful for him to resist.
