asunder。   Take  good   heed   of   what   I   say。   Must。   I   cancel   the   bond 

between ye。 I reject you�察�and all of your kith and kin!all the false�察�

hollow�察�heartless stock。¨ 

    `High words�察�sir�察� said Edward�察�scornfully。 

    `Words   of   purpose  and   meaning�察  �as   you   will   find�察�   replied   the 

other。 `Lay them to heart。¨ 

    `Lay    you   then�察  �these�察�   said   Edward。     `Your    cold   and   sullen 

temper�察�which chills every breast about you�察�which turns affection 

into fear�察�and changes duty into dread�察�has forced us on this secret 

course�察    �repugnant     to  our   nature    and    our   wish�察  �and   far  more 

foreign�察�sir�察�to us than you。 I am not a false�察�a hollow�察�or a heartless 

man�察�the character is yours�察�who poorly venture on these injurious 

terms�察�against the truth�察�and under the shelter whereof I reminded 

you just now。 You shall not cancel the bond between us。 I will not 

abandon   this pursuit。   I  rely  upon   your  niece¨s   truth  and   honour�察�

and set your influence at nought。 I leave her with a confidence in 

her pure faith�察�which you will never weaken�察�and with no concern 

but that I do not leave her in some gentler care。¨ 

    With that�察�he pressed her cold hand to his lips�察�and once more 

encountering and returning Mr Haredale¨s steady look�察�withdrew。 

   A    few   words     to  Joe   as   he  mounted       his  horse    sufficiently 

explained       what     had    passed�察    �and    renewed      all   that   young 

gentleman¨s       despondency       with   tenfold    aggravation。     They    rode 

back to the Maypole without exchanging a syllable�察�and arrived at 

the door with heavy hearts。

rode up shouting for Hugh�察  �was   out  directly�察  �and  said   with  great 

importance as he held the young man¨s stirrup�察�

    `He¨s comfortable in bed!the best bed。 A thorough gentleman�察�

the smilingest�察�affablest gentleman I ever had to do with。¨ 

    `Who�察�Willet�拭� said Edward carelessly�察�as he dismounted。 

    `Your     worthy     father�察  �sir�察�  replied    John。    `Your    honourable�察�

venerable father。¨ 

    `What does he mean�拭�   said  Edward�察  �looking  with  a mixture  of 

alarm and doubt�察�at Joe。 

    `What    do   you   mean�拭�     said   Joe。   `Don¨t   you   see   Mr    Edward

    `Why�察  �didn¨t   you   know   of   it�察  �sir�拭�   said   John�察  �opening   his   eyes 

wide。   `How   very   singular�   �Bless   you�察  �he¨s   been   here   ever   since 

noon   to´day�察  �and   Mr   Haredale   has   been   having   a   long   talk   with 

him�察�and hasn¨t been gone an hour。¨

in green´and´gold。 In your old room up yonder�察�sir。 No doubt you

looking up at the window。 `He hasn¨t put out his candles yet�察�I see。¨ 

    Edward   glanced   at   the   window   also�察  �and   hastily   murmuring 

that   he   had   changed   his   mind!forgotten   something!and   must 

return to London�察�mounted his horse again and rode away�察�leaving 

the    Willets�察   �father   and    son�察  �looking     at  each    other    in  mute 

astonishment。

           t noon next day�察�John Willet¨s guest sat lingering over his 

Abreakfast   in   his   own   home�察  �surrounded   by   a   variety   of 

           comforts�察    �which     left  the   Maypole¨s     highest    flight   and 

utmost   stretch   of   accommodation   at   an   infinite   distance   behind�察�

and   suggested   comparisons   very   much   to   the   disadvantage   and 

disfavour of that venerable tavern。 

    In the broad old´fashioned window´seat!as capacious as many 

modern sofas�察�and cushioned to serve the purpose   of  a luxurious 

settee!in       the   broad     old´fashioned      window´seat       of   a   roomy 

chamber�察�Mr Chester lounged�察�very much at his ease�察�over a well´ 

furnished breakfast´table。 He had exchanged his riding´coat for a 

handsome morning´gown�察�his boots for slippers�察�had been at great 

pains to atone for the having been obliged to make his toilet when 

he rose without the aid of dressing´case and tiring equipage�察�and�察�

having gradually forgotten through these means the discomforts of 

an   indifferent   night   and   an   early   ride�察  �was   in   a   state   of   perfect 

complacency�察�indolence�察�and satisfaction。 

    The     situation     in   which     he    found     himself�察   �indeed�察    �was 

particularly favourable to the growth of these feelings�察�for�察�not to 

mention the lazy influence of a late and lonely breakfast�察�with the 

additional   sedative   of   a   newspaper�察  �there   was   an   air   of    repose 

about   his   place   of   residence   peculiar   to   itself�察  �and   which   hangs 

about  it�察  �even   in   these   times�察  �when   it   is   more   bustling   and   busy 

than it was in days of yore。 

    There are�察�still�察�worse places than the Temple�察�on a sultry day�察�

for basking in the sun�察�or resting idly in the shade。 There is yet a 

drowsiness   in   its   courts�察  �and   a   dreamy   dulness   in   its   trees   and

echoes of their footsteps on the sounding stones�察�and read upon its 

gates�察  �in   passing   from   the   tumult   of   the   Strand   or   Fleet   Street�察�

`Who  enters   here  leaves   noise behind。¨   There  is   still   the   plash   of 

falling water in fair Fountain Court�察�and there are yet nooks and 

corners   where   dun´haunted   students   may   look   down   from   their 

dusty garrets�察�on a   vagrant  ray  of  sunlight  patching  the   shade   of 

the tall houses�察�and seldom troubled to reflect a passing stranger¨s 

form。 There is yet�察�in the Temple�察�something of a clerkly monkish 

atmosphere�察  �which   public   offices   of   law   have   not   disturbed�察  �and 

even   legal   firms   have   failed   to   scare   away。   In   summer   time�察  �its 

pumps       suggest      to   thirsty    idlers�察  �springs     cooler�察    �and    more 

sparkling�察     �and   deeper     than   other    wells�察  �and    as  they   trace    the 

spillings     of  full  pitchers    on   the   heated    ground�察    �they   snuff    the 

freshness�察  �and�察  �sighing�察  �cast  sad   looks   towards   the   Thames�察  �and 

think of baths and boats�察�and saunter on�察�despondent。

tenements�察  �shaded   in   front   by   ancient   trees�察  �and   looking�察  �at   the 

back�察    �upon    the  Temple      Gardens!that   this�察       �our   idler�察 �lounged�察�

now taking up again the paper he had laid down a hundred times�察�

now trifling with the fragments of his meal�察�now pulling forth his 

golden toothpick�察�and glancing leisurely about the room�察�or out at 

window   into   the   trim   garden   walks�察  �where   a   few   early   loiterers 

were     already     pacing    to  and    fro。  Here    a  pair   of  lovers   met    to 

quarrel and make up�察�there a dark´eyed nursery´maid had better 

eyes     for  Templars      than    her   charge�察    �on   this  hand     an   ancient 

spinster�察  �with   her   lapdog   in   a   string�察  �regarded   both   enormities 

with   scornful      sidelong    looks�察  �on   that   a  weazen     old   gentleman�察�

from     all  these�察  �on   the   river¨s   margin     two   or   three   couple    of 

business´talkers         walked      slowly     up    and     down      in   earnest 

conversation�察  �and   one   young   man   sat   thoughtfully   on   a   bench�察�

alone。

last´named person as he set down his teacup and plied the golden 

toothpick�察      �immensely      patient�    �He   was    sitting   yonder     when     I 

began to dress�察�and has scarcely changed his posture since。 A most

newspaper with a yawn。 `Dear Ned� �

    `What   a   very   early   dog� �   cried   his   father�察  �contemplating   him 

from behind the toothpick�察�with a languid smile。
