to my old Lignum that night�察 �Lignum�察�that¨s his mother for  five´ 

and´for´ty      pound� �^     All  this   Mrs    Bagnet     now     relates   for   the 

twentieth  time   at   least   within   the   last   four   hours。   Trilling  it   out�察�

like a kind of bird�察�with a pretty high note�察�that it may be audible 

to the old lady above the hum of the wheels。 

    ^Bless you�察�and thank you�察院�says Mrs   Rouncewell。   ^Bless   you�察�

and thank you�察�my worthy soul� 院�

    ^Dear   heart� 院  �cries   Mrs   Bagnet�察  �in   the   most   natural   manner。 

^No thanks to me�察�I am sure。 Thanks to yourself�察�ma¨am�察�for being 

so ready to pay ¨em� �And mind once more�察�ma¨am�察�what you had 

best do on finding George to be your own son�察�is�察�to make him!for 

your sake!have every sort of help to put himself in the right�察�and 

clear himself of a charge of which he is as innocent as you or me。 It 

won¨t do to have truth  and   justice   on   his  side�察  �he  must  have  law 

and lawyers�察院�exclaims the old girl�察�apparently persuaded that the 

latter     form    a    separate     establishment�察       �and    have     dissolved 

partnership with truth and justice for ever and a day。 

    ^He shall have�察院�says Mrs Rouncewell�察 �all the help that can be 

got   for   him   in   the   world�察  �my   dear。   I   will   spend   all   I   have�察  �and 

thankfully�察�to procure it。 Sir Leicester will do his best�察  �the   whole 

family will do their best。 I!I know something�察�my dear�察�and   will 

make   my   own   appeal�察  �as   his   mother   parted   from   him   all   these 

years�察�and finding him in a jail at last。 ̄ 

    The   extreme   disquietude   of   the   old   housekeeper¨s   manner   in 

saying   this�察  �her   broken   words�察  �and   her   wringing   of   her   hands�察�

make  a powerful   impression   on   Mrs   Bagnet�察�and  would astonish 

her    but   that   she   refers   them    all  to  her   sorrow     for  her   son¨s 

condition。 And yet Mrs Bagnet wonders�察�too�察�why Mrs Rouncewell 

should   murmur   so   distractedly�察   �My   Lady�察  �my   Lady�察  �my   Lady� 院�

over and over again。 

    The   frosty   night   wears   away�察  �and   the   dawn   breaks�察  �and   the 

post´chaise comes rolling on through the early mist�察�like the ghost 

of a chaise departed。 It has plenty of spectral company�察�in ghosts 

of   trees   and    hedges�察   �slowly    vanishing      and   giving    place   to   the 

realities    of  day。   London      reached�察    �the   travellers    alight�察  �the   old 

housekeeper in great tribulation and confusion�察�Mrs Bagnet�察�quite 

fresh   and   collected!as   she   would   be�察  �if   her   next   point�察  �with   no 

new equipage and outfit�察�were the Cape of Good Hope�察�the Island 

of Ascension�察�Hong Kong�察�or any other military station。 

    But    when     they   set   out  for   the   prison    where    the   trooper     is 

confined�察  �the   old   lady   has   managed   to   draw  about   her�察  �with   her 

lavender´coloured   dress�察  �much  of  the   staid  calmness   which   is   its 

usual      accompaniment。           A    wonderfully        grave�察    �precise�察    �and 

handsome   piece   of   old   china   she   looks�察  �though   her   heart   beats 

fast�察   �and     her    stomacher        is   ruffled    more      than     even     the 

remembrance of this wayward son has ruffled it these many years。 

    Approaching the cell�察�they find the door opening and a warder 

in   the   act   of   coming   out。   The   old   girl   promptly   makes   a   sign   of 

entreaty  to  him   to   say   nothing�察  �assenting�察  �with   a   nod�察  �he   suffers 

them to enter as he shuts the door。 

    So�察�George�察�who is writing at his table�察�supposing himself to be 

alone�察    �does   not   raise   his  eyes�察  �but   remains     absorbed。      The    old 

housekeeper looks at him�察�and those wandering hands of hers are 

quite enough for Mrs Bagnet¨s confirmation�察�even if she could see 

the   mother   and   the   son   together�察  �knowing   what   she   knows�察  �and 

doubt their relationship。 

    Not   a   rustle   of   the   housekeeper¨s   dress�察  �not   a   gesture�察  �not   a 

word   betrays   her。   She  stands   looking at  him   as   he   writes   on�察  �all

unconscious�察 �and   only  her  fluttering  hands   give   utterance   to   her 

emotions。   But   they   are   very   eloquent�察  �very�察  �very   eloquent。   Mrs 

Bagnet understands them。 They speak of gratitude�察�of joy�察�of grief�察�

of   hope�察  �of   inextinguishable   affection�察  �cherished   with   no   return 

since this stalwart man was a stripling�察�of a better son loved less�察�

and   this   son   loved   so   fondly   and   so   proudly�察  �and   they   speak   in 

such     touching     language�察   �that   Mrs    Bagnet¨s    eyes    brim   up   with 

tears�察�and they run glistening down her sun´brown face。 

    ^George Rouncewell� �O my dear child�察�turn and look at me� 院�

    The   trooper   starts   up�察  �clasps   his   mother   round   the   neck�察  �and 

falls down on his knees before her。 Whether in a late repentance�察�

whether in the first association that comes back upon him�察�he puts 

his   hands   together   as   a   child   does   when   it   says   its   prayers�察  �and 

raising them towards her breast�察�bows down his head�察�and cries。 

    ^My   George�察     �my    dearest    son�   �Always    my    favourite�察   �and   my 

favourite still�察�where have you been these cruel years and years�拭�

Grown such a man�察�too�察�grown such a fine strong man。 Grown so 

like what I knew he must be�察�if it pleased God he was alive� 院�

    She can ask�察�and he can answer�察�nothing connected for a time。 

All that time the old girl�察�turned away�察�leans one arm against the 

whitened wall�察�leans her honest forehead upon it�察�wipes her eyes 

with  her  serviceable  grey  cloak�察  �and   quite   enjoys   herself like  the 

best of old girls as she is。 

    ^Mother�察院     �says   the   trooper�察   �when    they   are   more    composed�察�

^forgive me first of all�察�for I know my need of it。 ̄ 

    Forgive him� �She does it with all her heart and soul。 She always 

has done it。 She tells him how she has had it  written   in   her  will�察�

these   many   years�察  �that   he   was   her  beloved   son   George。   She   has 

never believed any  ill   of  him�察  �never。   If  she  had  died   without  this

happiness!and she   is an  old  woman   now�察  �and   can¨t  look   to   live 

very long!she would have blessed him with her last breath�察�if she 

had had her senses�察�as her beloved son George。 

    ^Mother�察�I have been an undutiful trouble to you�察�and I have my 

reward�察  �but   of   late   years   I   have   had   a   kind   of   glimmering   of   a 

purpose in me�察�too。 When I left home I didn¨t care much�察�mother! 

I   am   afraid   not   a  great   deal!for   leaving�察     �and   went   away     and 

¨listed�察  �harum´scarum�察  �making   believe   to   think   that   I   cared   for 

nobody�察�no not I�察�and that nobody cared for me。 ̄ 

    The trooper has dried his eyes�察�and put away his handkerchief�此�

but    there    is  an   extraordinary       contrast    between      his   habitual 

manner       of  expressing      himself    and    carrying     himself�察   �and    the 

softened   tone   in   which   he   speaks�察  �interrupted   occasionally   by   a 

half´stifled sob。 

    ^So I wrote a line home�察�mother�察�as you too well know�察�to say I 

had `listed under another name�察�and I went abroad。 Abroad�察�at one 

time   I   thought   I   would   write   home   next   year�察  �when   I   might   be 

better   off�察  �and   when   that   year   was   out   I   thought   I   would   write 

home   next  year�察  �when   I might  be better  off�察  �and   when   that   year 

was out again�察�perhaps I didn¨t think much about it。 So on�察  �from 

year to year�察�through a service of ten years�察�till I began to get older�察�

and to ask myself why should I ever write�拭院�

    ^I don¨t find any fault�察�child!but not to ease my mind�察�George�拭�

Not a word to your loving mother�察�who was growing older�察�too�拭院�

    This almost overturns the trooper afresh�察�but he sets himself up 

with a great�察�rough�察�sounding clearance of his throat。 

    ^Heaven       forgive   me�察  �mother�察    �but   I  thought    there   would     be 

small consolation then in hearing anything about me。 There were 

you�察�respected and esteemed。 There was my brother�察�as I read in
