    He looked from her to Edward�察�and said in a gentler tone�此�

    `In goods and fortune you are now nearly equal。 I have been her 

faithful   steward�察�and   to  that   remnant   of  a   richer   property   which 

my   brother   left   her�察  �I   desire   to   add�察  �in   token   of   my   love�察  �a   poor 

pittance�察  �scarcely  worth  the   mention�察 �for  which  I   have   no longer 

any need。 I am glad you go abroad。 Let our ill´fated house remain 

the ruin it is。 When you return�察�after a few thriving years�察�you will 

command a better�察�and a more fortunate one。 We are friends�拭� 

    Edward took his extended hand�察�and grasped it heartily。 

    `You    are   neither    slow    nor   cold   in  your    response�察�    said   Mr 

Haredale�察�doing the like by him�察 �and when I look upon you now�察�

and know you�察�I feel that I would choose you for her husband。 Her 

father   had   a   generous   nature�察  �and   you   would   have   pleased   him 

well。   I   give   her   to   you   in   his   name�察  �and   with   his   blessing。   If   the 

world   and   I   part   in   this   act�察  �we   part   on   happier   terms   than   we 

have lived for many a day。¨ 

    He  placed   her  in   his   arms�察�and   would   have left   the   room�察  �but

that he was stopped in his passage to the door by a great noise at a 

distance�察�which made them start and pause。 

    It  was   a loud   shouting�察  �mingled   with   boisterous   acclamations�察�

that  rent  the   very  air。   It  drew   nearer   and   nearer   every   moment�察�

and approached so rapidly�察�that�察�even while they listened�察�it burst 

into a deafening confusion of sounds at the street corner。 

    `This must be stopped!quieted�察� said Mr Haredale�察�hastily。 `We 

should have foreseen this�察�and provided against it。 I will go out to 

them at once。¨ 

    But�察�before he could reach the door�察�and before Edward could 

catch   up   his   hat   and   follow   him�察  �they   were   again   arrested   by   a 

loud   shriek   from   above´stairs�此  �and   the   locksmith¨s   wife�察  �bursting 

in�察�and fairly running into Mr Haredale¨s arms�察�cried out�此�

    `She knows it all�察�dear sir� �she knows it all� �We broke it out to 

her    by  degrees�察   �and   she   is  quite   prepared。¨    Having   made      this 

communication�察        �and    furthermore      thanked     Heaven      with   great 

fervour and heartiness�察�the good lady�察�according to the custom of 

matrons�察�on all occasions of excitement�察�fainted away directly。 

    They ran to the window�察�drew up the sash�察�and looked into the 

crowded street。 Among a dense mob of persons�察�of whom not one 

was for an instant still�察�the locksmith¨s ruddy face and burly form 

could be descried�察�beating about as though he was struggling with 

a   rough   sea。   Now�察   �he  was    carried   back   a  score    of  yards�察 �now 

onward nearly to the door�察�now back again�察�now forced against the 

opposite houses�察�now against those adjoining his own�此�now carried 

up a flight of steps�察�and greeted by the outstretched hands of half a 

hundred   men�察  �while   the   whole   tumultuous   concourse   stretched 

their   throats�察  �and   cheered   with   all   their   might。   Though   he   was 

really in a fair way to be torn to pieces in the general enthusiasm�察�

the   locksmith�察  �nothing   discomposed�察  �echoed   their   shouts   till   he 

was as hoarse as they�察�and in a glow of joy and right good´humour�察�

waved      his  hat   until  the   daylight    shone    between     its  brim   and 

crown。 

    But   in   all   the   bandyings   from   hand   to   hand�察  �and   strivings   to 

and   fro�察  �and   sweepings   here      and   there�察  �which!saving   that   he 

looked more jolly and more radiant after every struggle!troubled 

his peace of mind no more than if he had been a straw upon the 

water¨s surface�察�he never once released his firm grasp of an arm�察�

drawn tight through his。 He sometimes turned to clap this friend 

upon      the   back�察   �or  whisper      in  his   ear   a   word    of   staunch 

encouragement�察�or cheer him with a smile�察�but his great care was 

to shield him from the pressure�察�and force a passage for him to the 

Golden Key。 Passive and timid�察�scared�察�pale�察�and wondering�察�and 

gazing at the throng as if he were newly risen from the dead�察�and 

felt   himself   a   ghost   among   the   living�察  �Barnaby!not   Barnaby   in 

the spirit�察�but in flesh and blood�察�with pulses�察�sinews�察�nerves�察�and 

beating heart�察�and strong affections!clung to his stout old friend�察�

and followed where he led。 

   And thus�察�in course of time�察�they reached the door�察�held ready 

for   their   entrance   by   no   unwilling   hands。   Then   slipping   in�察  �and 

shutting out the crowd   by  main   force�察  �Gabriel stood   between   Mr 

Haredale      and    Edward     Chester�察    �and   Barnaby�察    �rushing     up   the 

stairs�察�fell upon his knees beside his mother¨s bed。 

    `Such is the blessed end�察�sir�察� cried the panting locksmith�察�to Mr 

Haredale�察 �of the best day¨s work we ever did。 The rogues� �it¨s been 

hard   fighting   to   get   away   from    ¨em。   I  almost   thought�察   �once   or 

twice�察�they¨d have been too much for us with their kindness� � 

    They had striven�察�all the previous day�察�to rescue Barnaby from

his impending fate。 Failing in their attempts�察�in the first quarter to 

which they addressed themselves�察�they renewed them in another。 

Failing there�察�likewise�察  �they  began afresh  at  midnight�察  �and made 

their way�察�not only to the judge and jury who had tried him�察�but to 

men of influence at court�察�to the young Prince of Wales�察�and even 

to   the   ante´chamber   of   the   King   himself。   Successful�察  �at   last�察  �in 

awakening an interest in his favour�察�and an inclination to inquire 

more dispassionately into his case�察�they had had an interview with 

the minister�察�in his bed�察�so late as eight o¨clock that morning。 The 

result of a   searching inquiry  ��in   which  they�察  �who  had   known   the 

poor   fellow   from   his   childhood�察  �did   other   good   service�察  �besides 

bringing it about�� was�察�that between eleven and twelve o¨clock�察  �a 

free   pardon   to   Barnaby   Rudge         was   made     out   and   signed�察  �and 

entrusted to a horse´soldier for instant conveyance to the place of 

execution。 This courier reached the spot just as the cart appeared 

in   sight�察  �and   Barnaby   being   carried   back       to   jail�察 �Mr   Haredale�察�

assured      that   all  was  safe�察  �had   gone    straight   from    Bloomsbury 

Square to the Golden Key�察�leaving to Gabriel the grateful task of 

bringing him home in triumph。 

    `I   needn¨t   say�察�   observed   the   locksmith�察  �when   he   had   shaken 

hands with all the males in the house�察�and hugged all the females�察�

five´and´forty      times�察   �at  least�察  �that�察  �except    among     ourselves�察    �I 

didn¨t want to make a triumph of it。 But�察�directly we got into the 

street   we   were   known�察  �and   this   hubbub   began。   Of   the   two�察�   he 

added�察�as he wiped his crimson face�察 �and after experience of both�察�

I think I¨d rather be taken out of my house by a crowd of enemies�察�

than escorted home by a mob of friends� � 

    It  was    plain   enough�察    �however�察     �that  this   was    mere    talk   on 

Gabriel¨s   part�察  �and   that   the   whole   proceeding   afforded   him   the

keenest delight�察  �for   the   people   continuing   to   make   a   great  noise 

without�察�and to cheer as if their voices were in the freshest order�察�

and good for a fortnight�察�he sent upstairs for Grip ��who had come 

home at his master¨s back�察�and had acknowledged   the   favours   of 

the    multitude     by   drawing     blood    from    every    finger   that   came 

within     his   reach���察  �and    with   the   bird   upon    his  arm    presented 

himself at the first´floor window�察�and waved his hat again until it 

dangled       by   a   shred�察   �between       his   finger    and    thumb。     This 

demonstration having been received with appropriate shouts�察�and 

silence being in some degree restored�察�he thanked them for their 

sympathy�察�and taking the liberty to inform them that there was a 

sick   person   in   the   house�察  �proposed   that   they   should   give   three 

cheers   for   King   George�察  �three   more   for   Old   England�察  �and   three 

more   for   nothing   particular�察  �as   a   closing   ceremony。   The   crowd 

assenting�察�substituted   Gabriel   Varden   for   the   nothing   particular�察�

and   giving   him     one   over�察  �for   good   measure�察    �dispersed     in  high 

good´humour。 

    What   congratulations   were   exchanged   among   the   inmates   at 

the Golden Key�察�when they were left alone�察�what an overflowing of 

joy and happiness there was among them�察�how incapable it was of 

expression in Barnaby¨s own person�察�and how he went wildly from 

one to another�察�until he became so far tranquillised�察�as to stretch 

himself  on   the   ground   beside   his   mother¨s   couch   and   fall   into   a 

deep sleep�察�are matters that need not be told。 And   it
