compliment        to   the   extreme      hardness      and    toughness      of  his 

physiognomy�察   �just   looked   in�察  �we   have�察  �to   make   it   all   correct   as 

usual about  that  security。   Give   him   the   new  bill   to   sign�察  �George�察�

and he¨ll sign it like a man。 ̄ 

    ^I   was   coming     to  you   this   morning�察院    �observes     the   trooper�察�

reluctantly。 

    ^Yes�察�we thought you¨d come to us this morning�察�but we turned 

out early�察�and left Woolwich�察�the best of boys�察�to mind his sisters�察�

and   came   to   you   instead!as   you   see�   �For   Lignum�察  �he¨s   tied   so 

close now�察�and gets so little  exercise�察 �that a   walk does   him  good。 

But what¨s the matter�察�George�拭院�asks Mrs Bagnet�察�stopping in her 

cheerful talk。 ^You don¨t look yourself。 ̄ 

    ^I   am   not   quite   myself�察院  �returns   the   trooper�察   �I   have   been   a 

little put out�察�Mrs Bagnet。 ̄ 

    Her    bright    quick    eye   catches    the   truth   directly。   ^George� 院�

holding  up   her  forefinger。   ^Don¨t  tell me   there¨s   anything   wrong 

about that security of Lignum¨s� �Don¨t do it�察�George�察�on account of 

the children� 院�

   The trooper looks at her with a troubled visage。 

    ^George�察院�says Mrs Bagnet�察�using both her arms for emphasis�察�

and occasionally bringing down her open   hands   upon  her  knees。 

^If  you  have   allowed   anything   wrong   to   come   to   that   security   of 

Lignum¨s�察�and if you have let him in for it�察�and if you have put us 

in danger of being sold up!and I see sold up in your face�察�George�察�

as plain as print!you have done a shameful action�察�and deceived 

us cruelly。 I tell you�察�cruelly�察�George。 There� 院�

   Mr Bagnet�察�otherwise as immovable as a pump or a lamp´post�察�

puts his large right hand on the top of his bald head�察�as if to defend 

it   from   a   shower´bath�察  �and   looks   with   great   uneasiness   at   Mrs 

Bagnet。 

    ^George� 院  �says   that   old   girl。   ^I   wonder   at   you�   �George�察  �I   am 

ashamed of you� �George�察�I couldn¨t have believed you would have 

done it� �I always knew you to be a rolling stone that gathered no 

moss�察�but I never thought you would have taken away what little 

moss there was for Bagnet and the children to lie upon。 You know 

what     a  hard´working      steady´going     chap   he   is。  You   know    that 

Quebec and Malta and Woolwich are!and I never  did   think   you 

would�察�or could�察�have had the heart to serve us so。 O George� 院�Mrs 

Bagnet gathers up her cloak to wipe her eyes on�察�in a very genuine 

manner�察 �How could you do it�拭院�

   Mrs     Bagnet   ceasing�察   �Mr   Bagnet   removes      his  hand    from   his 

head as if the shower´bath were over�察�and looks disconsolately at 

Mr George�察�who has turned quite white�察�and looks distressfully at 

the grey cloak and straw bonnet。

    ^Mat�察院  �says   the   trooper�察  �in   a   subdued   voice�察  �addressing   him�察�

but   still   looking   at   his   wife�察   �I   am   sorry   you   take   it   so   much   to 

heart�察�because I do hope it¨s not so bad as that comes to。 I certainly 

have�察�this morning�察�received this letter�察�which he reads aloud�察 �but 

I hope it may be set right yet。 As to a rolling stone�察�why�察�what you 

say  is   true。   I am  a   rolling   stone�察  �and   I   never   rolled   in   anybody¨s 

way�察    �I  fully  believe�察   �that   I  rolled   the   least   good    to。  But    it¨s 

impossible   for   an   old   vagabond   comrade   to   like         your   wife   and 

family better than I like ¨em�察�Mat�察�and I trust you¨ll look upon me 

as forgivingly as you can。 Don¨t think I¨ve kept anything from you。 

I haven¨t had the letter more than a quarter of an hour。 ̄ 

    ^Old girl� 院�murmurs Mr Bagnet�察�after a short silence�察 �will you 

tell him my opinion�拭院�

    ^O� �Why didn¨t he marry�察院�Mrs Bagnet answers�察  �half  laughing 

and half crying�察 �Joe Pouch¨s widder in North America�拭�Then he 

wouldn¨t have got himself into these troubles。 ̄ 

    ^The   old   girl�察院  �says   Mr   Bagnet�察   �puts   it   correct!why   didn¨t 

you�拭院�

    ^Well�察�she has a better  husband   by  this   time�察  �I  hope�察院  �returns 

the trooper。 ^Anyhow�察�here I stand�察�this present day�察�not married 

to   Joe   Pouch¨s   widder。   What   shall   I   do�拭  �You   see   all   I   have   got 

about me。 It¨s not mine�察�it¨s yours。 Give the word�察�and I¨ll sell off 

every   morsel。      If  I  could   have   hoped     it  would    have   brought     in 

nearly   the   sum   wanted�察  �I¨d   have   sold   all   long   ago。   Don¨t   believe 

that I¨ll leave you or yours in the lurch�察�Mat。 I¨d sell myself first。 I 

only wish�察院�says the trooper�察�giving himself a disparaging blow in 

the chest�察 �that I knew of anyone who¨d buy such a second´hand 

piece of old stores。 ̄

    ^George�察院�says the old girl�察 �you are not so much to be blamed�察�

on full consideration�察�except for ever taking this business without 

the means。 ̄ 

    ^And that was like me� 院�observed the penitent trooper�察�shaking 

his head。 ^Like me�察�I know。 ̄ 

    ^Silence� �The old girl�察院�says Mr Bagnet�察 �is correct!in her way 

of giving my opinions!hear me out� 院�

    ^That was when you never ought to have asked for the security�察�

George�察    �and    when    you   never    ought    to  have    got  it�察 �all  things 

considered。 But what¨s done can¨t be undone。 You are always an 

honourable       and   straight´forward      fellow�察  �as  far  as   lays  in  your 

power�察�though a little flighty。 On the other hand�察�you can¨t admit 

but what it¨s natural in us to be anxious�察�with such a thing hanging 

over   our   heads。   So   forget   and   forgive   all   round�察  �George。   Come� �

Forget and forgive all round� 院�

    Mrs Bagnet�察�giving him one of her honest hands�察�and giving her 

husband the other�察�Mr George gives each of them one of his�察�and 

holds them while he speaks。 

    ^I   do   assure    you    both�察  �there¨s   nothing     I  wouldn¨t     do   to 

discharge this obligation。 But whatever I have been able to scrape 

together�察  �has   gone   every   two   months   in   keeping   it   up。   We   have 

lived plainly enough here�察�Phil and I。 But the Gallery don¨t quite 

do what was expected of it�察�and it¨s not!in short�察�it¨s not the Mint。 

It   was   wrong   in   me   to   take   it�拭  �Well�察  �so   it   was。   But   I   was   in   a 

manner   drawn   into   that   step�察  �and   I   thought   it   might   steady   me�察�

and     set  me    up�察  �and   you¨ll   try   to  overlook     my    having    such 

expectations�察  �and   upon my  soul�察�I   am   very  much   obliged   to   you�察�

Mr   George      gives   a  shake    to  each   of  the   hands    he   holds�察  �and�察�

relinquishing       them�察   �backs    a  pace    or   two�察  �in  a  broad´chested 

upright   attitude�察  �as   if   he   had   made   a   final   confession�察  �and   were 

immediately going to be shot with all military honours。 

    ^George�察  �hear   me   out� 院  �says   Mr   Bagnet�察  �glancing   at   his   wife。 

^Old girl�察�go on� 院�

    Mr Bagnet�察�being in this singular manner heard out�察�has merely 

to observe that the letter must be attended to without  any  delay�察�

that it is advisable that George and he should immediately wait on 

Mr   Smallweed   in   person�察  �and   that   the   primary   object   is   to   save 

and   hold   harmless   Mr   Bagnet�察  �who   had   none   of   the   money。   Mr 

George entirely assenting�察�puts on his hat�察�and prepares to march 

with Mr Bagnet to the enemy¨s camp。 

    ^Don¨t   you   mind      a   woman¨s     hasty   word�察   �George�察院    �says   Mrs 

Bagnet�察  �patting   him   on   the   shoulder。   ^I   trust   my   old   Lignum   to 

you�察�and I am sure you¨ll bring him through it。 ̄ 

    The   trooper   returns�察  �that   this   is   kindly   said�察  �and   that   he  will 

bring Lignum through it somehow。 Upon which Mrs Bagnet�察�with 

her cloak�察�basket�察�and umbrella�察�goes home�察�bright´eyed again�察�to 

the rest of her family�察�and the comrades sally forth on the hopeful 

errand of mollifying Mr Smallweed。 

    Whether   there   are   two   people   in   England   less   likely   to   come 

satisfactorily  out  of  any negotiation   with   Mr   Smallweed   than   Mr 

George       and    Mr    Matthew      Bagnet�察     �may     be   very    reasonably 

questioned。 Also�察�notwithstanding their martial appearance�察�broad 

square shoulders�察�and heavy tread�察�whether there are�察�within the 

same   limits�察  �two   more   simple   and   unaccustomed   children�察  �in   all
