Peregrine makes himself Merry at the Expense of the Painter, who curses his Landlady1, and breaks with the Doctor.
As he could easily conceive the situation of his companion in adversity, he was unwilling2 to leave the place until he had reaped some diversion from his distress3, and with that view repaired to the dungeon4 of the afflicted5 painter, to which he had by this time free access. When he entered, the first object that presented itself to his eye was so uncommonly6 ridiculous, that he could scarce preserve that gravity of countenance7 which he had affected8 in order to execute the joke he had planned. The forlorn Pallet sat upright in his bed in a deshabille that was altogether extraordinary. He had laid aside his monstrous9 hoop10, together with his stays, gown, and petticoat, wrapped his lappets about his head by way of nightcap, and wore his domino as a loose morning-dress; his grizzled locks hung down about his lack-lustre eyes and tawny11 neck, in all the disorder12 of negligence13; his gray beard bristled14 about half-an-inch through the remains15 of the paint with which his visage had been bedaubed, and every feature of his face was lengthened16 to the most ridiculous expression of grief and dismay.
Seeing Peregrine come in, he started up in a sort of frantic17 ecstasy18, and, running towards him with open arms, no sooner perceived the woeful appearance into which our hero had modelled his physiognomy, than he stopped short all of a sudden, and the joy which had begun to take possession of his heart was in a moment dispelled19 by the most rueful presages20; so that he stood in a most ludicrous posture21 of dejection, like a malefactor22 at the Old Bailey, when sentence is about to be pronounced. Pickle23, taking him by the hand, heaved a profound sigh; and after having protested that he was extremely mortified24 at being pitched upon as the messenger of bad news, told him, with an air of sympathy and infinite concern, that the French court, having discovered his sex, had resolved, in consideration of the outrageous25 indignity26 he offered in public to a prince of the blood, to detain him in the Bastille a prisoner for life; and that this sentence was a mitigation obtained by the importunities of the British ambassador, the punishment ordained27 by law being no other than breaking alive upon the wheel.
These tidings aggravated28 the horrors of the painter to such a degree that he roared aloud, and skipped about the room in all the extravagance of distraction29, taking God and man to witness, that he would rather suffer immediate30 death than endure one year’s imprisonment31 in such a hideous32 place; and cursing the hour of his birth, and the moment on which he departed from his own country. “For my own part,” said his tormentor33, in a hypocritical tone, “I was obliged to swallow the bitter pill of making submission34 to the prince, who, as I had not presumed to strike him, received acknowledgments, in consequence of which I shall be this day set at liberty; and there is even one expedient35 left for the recovery of your freedom — it is, I own, a disagreeable remedy, but one had better undergo a little mortification36 than be for ever wretched. Besides, upon second thoughts, I begin to imagine that you will not for such a trifle sacrifice yourself to the unceasing horrors of a dungeon; especially as your condescension37 will in all probability be attended with advantages which you could not otherwise enjoy.” Pallet, interrupting him with great eagerness, begged for the love of God that he would no longer keep him in the torture of suspense38, but mention that same remedy, which he was resolved to follow, let it be ever so unpalatable.
Peregrine, having thus played upon his passions of fear and hope, answered, “that as the offence was committed in the habit of a woman, which was a disguise unworthy of the other sex, the French court was of opinion that the delinquent39 should be reduced to the neuter gender40; so that there was no alternative at his own option, by which he had it in his power to regain41 immediate freedom.”—“What!” cried the painter, in despair, “become a singer? Gadzooks! and the devil and all that! I’ll rather be still where I am, and let myself be devoured42 by vermin.” Then thrusting out his throat —“Here is my windpipe,” said he; “be so good, my dear friend, as to give it a slice or two: if you don’t, I shall one of these days be found dangling43 in my garters. What an unfortunate rascal44 I am! What a blockhead, and a beast, and a fool, was I to trust myself among such a barbarous ruffian race! Lord forgive you, Mr. Pickle, for having been the immediate cause of my disaster. If you had stood by me from the beginning, according to your promise, I should not have been teased by that coxcomb45 who has brought me to this pass. And why did I put on this d — d unlucky dress? Lord curse that chattering46 Jezebel of a landlady, who advised such a preposterous47 disguise!— a disguise which has not only brought me to this pass, but also rendered me abominable48 to myself, and frightful49 to others; for when I this morning signified to the turnkey that I wanted to be shaved, he looked at my beard with astonishment50, and, crossing himself, muttered his Pater Noster, believing me, I suppose, to be a witch, or something worse. And Heaven confound that loathsome51 banquet of the ancients, which provoked me to drink too freely, that I might wash away the taste of that accursed sillikicaby.”
Our young gentleman, having heard this lamentation52 to an end, excused himself for his conduct by representing that he could not possibly foresee the disagreeable consequences that attended it; and in the mean time strenuously53 counselled him to submit to the terms of his enlargement. He observed that he was now arrived at that time of life when the lusts54 of the flesh should be entirely55 mortified within him, and his greatest concern ought to be the of his soul, to which nothing could more effectually contribute than the amputation56 which was proposed; that his body, as well as his mind, would profit by the change; because he would have no dangerous appetite to gratify, and no carnal thoughts to divert him from the duties of his profession; and his voice, which was naturally sweet, would improve to such a degree, that he would captivate the ears of all the people of fashion and taste, and in a little time be celebrated57 under the appellation58 of the English Senesino.
These arguments did not fail to make impression upon the painter, who nevertheless started two objections to his compliance59; namely, the disgrace of the punishment, and the dread60 of his wife. Pickle undertook to obviate61 these difficulties, by assuring him that the sentence would be executed so privately62 as never to transpire63: and that his wife could not be so unconscionable, after so many years of cohabitation, as to take exceptions to an expedient by which she would not only enjoy the conversation of her husband, but even the fruits of those talents which the knife would so remarkably64 refine.
Pallet shook his hand at this last remonstrance65, as if he thought it would not be altogether convincing to his spouse66, but yielded to the proposal, provided her consent could be obtained. Just as he signified this condescension, the jailer entered, and addressing himself to the supposed lady, expressed his satisfaction in having the honour to tell her that she was no longer a prisoner. As the painter did not understand one word of what he said, Peregrine undertook the office of interpreter, and made his friend believe the jailer’s speech was no other than an intimation that the ministry67 had sent a surgeon to execute what was proposed, and that the instruments and dressings68 were prepared in the next room. Alarmed and terrified at this sudden appointment, he flew to the other end of the room, and, snatching up an earthen chamber-pot, which was the only offensive weapon in the place, put himself in a posture of defence, and with many oaths threatened to try the temper of the barber’s skull69, if he should presume to set his nose within the apartment.
The jailer, who little expected such a reception, concluded that the poor gentlewoman had actually lost her wits, and retreated with precipitation, leaving the door open as he went out; upon which Pickle, gathering70 up the particulars of his dress with great despatch71, crammed72 them into Pallet’s arms, and taking notice that now the coast was clear, exhorted73 him to follow his footsteps to the gate, where a hackney-coach stood for his reception. There being no time for hesitation74, the painter took his advice; and, without quitting the utensil75, which in his hurry he forgot to lay down, sallied out in the rear of our hero, with all the wildness of terror and impatience76 which may be reasonably supposed to take possession of a man who flies from perpetual imprisonment. Such was the tumult77 of his agitation78, that his faculty79 of thinking was for the present utterly80 overwhelmed, and he saw no object but his conductor, whom he followed by a sort of instinctive81 impulse, without regarding the keepers and sentinels, who, as he passed with his clothes under one arm, and his chamber-pot brandished82 above his head, were confounded, and even dismayed, at the strange apparition83.
During the whole course of this irruption, he ceased nor to cry, with great vociferation, “Drive, coachman, drive, in the name of God!” and the carriage had proceeded the length of a whole street before he manifested the least sign of reflection, but stared like the Gorgon’s head, with his mouth wide open, and each particular hair crawling and twining like an animated84 serpent. At length, however, he began to recover the use of his senses, and asked if Peregrine thought him now out of all danger of being retaken. This unrelenting wag, not yet satisfied with the affliction he imposed upon the sufferer, answered, with an air of doubt and concern, that he hoped they would not be overtaken, and prayed to God they might not be retarded85 by a stop of carriages. Pallet fervently86 joined in this supplication87; and they advanced a few yards farther, when the noise of a coach at full speed behind them invaded their ears; and Pickle, having looked out of the window, withdrew his head in seeming confusion, and exclaimed, “Lord have mercy upon us! I wish that may not be a guard sent after us. Methinks I saw the muzzle88 of a fusil sticking out of the coach.” The painter, hearing these tidings, that instant thrust himself half out at the window, with his helmet still in his hand, bellowing89 to the coachman, as loud as he could roar, “Drive, d — ye, dive to the gates of Jericho and the ends of the earth! Drive, you ragamuffin, you rascallion, you hell-hound! Drive us to the pit Of hell, rather than we should be taken!”
Such a phantom90 could not pass without attracting the curiosity of the people, who ran to their doors and windows, in order to behold91 this object of admiration92. With the same view, that coach, which was supposed to be in pursuit of him, stopped just as the windows of each happened to be opposite; and Pallet, looking behind, and seeing three men standing93 upon the footboard armed with canes94, which his fear converted into fusils, never doubted that his friend’s suspicion was just, but, shaking his Jordan at the imaginary guard, swore he would sooner die than part with his precious ware95. The owner of the coach, who was a nobleman of the first quality, mistook him for some unhappy woman deprived of her senses: and, ordering his coachman to proceed, convinced the fugitive96, to his infinite joy, that this was no more than a false alarm. He was not, for all that, freed from anxiety and trepidation97; but our young gentleman, fearing his brain would not bear a repetition of the same joke, permitted him to gain his own lodgings98 without further molestation99.
His landlady, meeting him on the stair, was so affected at his appearance, that she screamed aloud, and betook herself to flight; while he, cursing her with greet bitterness, rushed into the apartment to the doctor, who, instead of receiving him with cordial embraces, and congratulating him upon his deliverance, gave evident signs of umbrage100 and discontent; and even plainly told him, he hoped to have heard that he and Mr. Pickle had acted the glorious part of Cato; an event which would have laid the foundation of such noble struggles, as could not fail to end in happiness and freedom; and that he had already made some progress in an ode that would have immortalised their names, and inspired the flame of liberty in every honest breast. “There,” said he, “I would have proved, that great talents, and high sentiments of liberty, do reciprocally produce and assist each other; and illustrated101 my assertions with such notes and quotations102 from the Greek writers, as would have opened the eyes of the most blind and unthinking, and touched the most callous103 and obdurate104 heart. ‘O fool! to think the man, whose ample mind must grasp whatever yonder stars survey’— Pray, Mr. Pellet, what is your opinion of that image of the mind’s grasping the whole universe? For my own part, I can’t help thinking it the most happy conception that ever entered my imagination.”
The painter, who was not such a flaming enthusiast105 in the cause of liberty, could not brook106 the doctor’s reflections, which he thought savoured a little too much of indifference107 and deficiency in point of private friendship; and therefore seized the present opportunity of mortifying108 his pride, by observing, that the image was, without all doubt, very grand and magnificent; but that he had been obliged for the idea to Mr. Bayes in “The Rehearsal,” who values himself upon the same figure, conveyed in these words, “But all these clouds, when by the eye of reason grasp’d, etc.” Upon any other occasion, the painter would have triumphed greatly upon this detection; but such was the flutter and confusion of his spirits, under the apprehension109 of being retaken, that, without further communication, he retreated to his own room, in order to resume his own dress, which he hoped would alter his appearance in such a manner as to baffle all search and examination; while the physician remained ashamed and abashed110, to find himself convinced of bombast111 by a person of such contemptible112 talents. He was offended at this proof of his memory, and so much enraged113 at his presumption114 in exhibiting it, that he could never forgive his want of reverence115, and took every opportunity of exposing his ignorance and folly116 in the sequel. Indeed, the ties of private affection were too weak to engage the heart of this republican, whose zeal117 for the community had entirely swallowed up his concern for individuals. He looked upon particular friendship as a passion unworthy of his ample soul, and was a professed118 admirer of L. Manlius, Junius Brutus, and those later patriots119 of the same name, who shut their ears against the cries of nature, and resisted all the dictates120 of gratitude121 and humanity.
