THE KNIGHT AND SHEPHERD'S DAUGHTER.
The Skipper's necessary affairs in the port engaged him all the day
succeeding that of his interview with father Pierre, and therefore
prevented him from making his intended visit to the Cripple of St.
Jerome's. When the next morning broke upon him, the early bell of St.
Mary's Chapel informed him of the Sabbath,--a day seldom distinguished
in his calendar from the rest of the week. It was, however, not
unheeded now, as it suggested the thought that an opportunity might be
afforded him to gain a sight of Blanche Warden--and even, perchance an
interview--at the service of the Chapel. In this hope he at once
relinquished his design of going to St. Jerome's, at least until after
the morning offices of the church were performed. Accordingly, at an
hour somewhat in advance of the general attendance of the congregation,
the Skipper was seen loitering in the purlieus of the Chapel, where he
marked with an inquisitive but cautious watchfulness the various groups
that were coming to their devotions. When at length his strained vision
was able to descry a cavalcade approaching from the direction of St.
Inigoe's, and he discerned the figures of Albert Verheyden and Blanche
Warden dallying far in the rear of the Collector and his daughter
Alice, their horses almost at a walk, and themselves manifestly
engrossed in an earnest conference, he turned hastily towards the
church and with a compressed lip and knitted brow, ascended the stair
and threw himself into an obscure corner of the little gallery which
looked upon the altar. Here he remained a sullen and concealed observer
of the rites of the temple,--his bosom rankling with uncharitable
thoughts, and his countenance clouded with feelings the most ungenial
to the lowly self-abasement and contrition of heart which breathed in
every word of the solemn ritual that addressed his ear.
The Collector's family entered the place of worship. The Secretary
still accompanied Blanche, knelt beside her in prayer, opened her
missal to the various services of the day, and tendered the customary
offices of familiar gallantry common to such an occasion, with an
unrebuked freedom: all this in the view of the Skipper, whose eye
flashed with a vengeful fire, as he gazed upon the man to whom he
attributed the wrong he deemed himself to have suffered in his recent
interview with the maiden. The service ended and the throng was
retiring, when Cocklescraft planted himself on the outside of the door.
His purpose was to exchange even but a word with the daughter of the
Collector--at least to win a recognition of his presence by a smile, a
nod, the smallest courtesy,--so dear to the heart of a lover. She came
at last, loiteringly with father Pierre and Albert Verheyden. Perhaps
she did not see Cocklescraft in the shade of the big elm, even although
her father's weaker sight had recognised him, and the old man had
stepped aside to shake his hand. She passed on to her horse without
once turning her head towards him. The Skipper abruptly sprang from the
Collector to help her into her saddle, but Blanche had already Albert's
hand, and in a moment was in her seat. Cocklescraft's proffered service
was acknowledged by a bow and only a casual word. The Secretary in an
instant mounted his steed, and, with the maiden, set forth on their
ride at a brisk gallop. The Brother of the Coast forgetful of his usual
circumspection, stood with folded arms and moody visage, looking darkly
upon them as they disappeared, and muttering half-audible ejaculations
of wrath. He was, after an interval, roused from his abstraction by the
hand of father Pierre gently laid upon his shoulder:
"You have forgotten the censer of virgin silver, you promised to offer
at this shrine," said the priest in a grave voice. "It was to be an
offering for the sin of a wayward spirit of anger. Beware, son, that
thou dost no wrong to a brother."
"I have not forgotten the censer, holy father," returned the Skipper,
with an ineffectual effort to assume his usual equanimity. "I have only
deferred the offering--until I may give it," he added in a stern
voice--"with an honest conscience. Thou shalt have it anon. I have
business now that stands in the way:--good morning to you, father." And
with these words he walked rapidly away.
In the afternoon Cocklescraft was seen plying his way from the quay in
a small boat, attended by two seamen who rowed him to a point some five
or six miles below the town, where he landed, and set out on foot for
St. Jerome's.
On the following morning, whilst the dawn yet cast its grey hue over
the face of the land, two men, in shaggy frize dresses, arrived at the
hut of the Cripple. They rode on rough, little beach-ponies, each
provided with a sack. The mastiff bitch eyed the visiters with a malign
aspect from her station beneath the door sill, and by her low
mutterings warned them against a too near approach. They accordingly
stood at bay.
"Curse on the slut!" said one; "she has the eye of a very devil;--it
might not be safe to defy her. Not a mouse is stirring:--the old
Trencherman is as still as his bowl. Were it safe, think you, to wake
him?"
"Why not?" demanded the other. "He will be in a passion, and threaten,
at first, with his weapon;--but when he knows we come to trade with
him, I will warrant he butters his wrinkles as smoothly with a smile as
you could desire. Strike your staff, Nichol, against the door."
"The fiend fetch me, if I venture so near as to strike, with that bitch
at the step. Try it thyself, Perry Cadger."
"Nay, and it comes to that, I will rouse him in another fashion," said
the other.
"Master Swale--Master Robert Swale--Halloo--halloo!"
"Rob, man, awake,--turn out for thy friends!" exclaimed the first. The
growl of the mastiff bitch was now changed into a hoarse bark. Some
stir was heard from the inside of the hut, and, in a moment afterwards,
the door was unbolted and brought sufficiently open to allow the
uncouth head and half dressed figure of the Cripple to be seen. A short
blunderbuss was levelled directly in the face of the visiters, whilst
an ungracious repulse was screamed out in a voice husky with rage.
"Begone, you misbegotten thieves! What makes you here? Do you think I
am an ale draper to take in every strolling runagate of the night.
Begone, or by my body, I will baptize you with a sprinkling of lead!"
"In God's name, Robert Swale," exclaimed the first speaker, "turn thy
weapon aslant! Thou mayst do a deed of mischief upon thy friends. We
are Nichol Upstake, and Peregrine Cadger--friends, Rob,--friends, who
have come to drive bargains to thy profit. Open your eyes, Master--put
on your glasses--we have gold in pocket, man."
"Ha, ha, ha!" chuckled the tenant of the hut; "thou art astir, cronies!
Ha, ha! I took ye for land loupers--sharks. By the Five Wounds, I knew
ye not! Have patience a space and I will open."
When the Cripple had dressed himself he came swinging forth in his
bowl, and passing beyond the curtilage of his dwelling went to the
beach, whither he was followed by his two visiters who had now
dismounted from their ponies. Here he halted, and taking off his cap,
exposed his bare head and loose white tresses to the morning breeze
which came somewhat sharply from the water.
"Soh!" he exclaimed, "there is refreshment in that! It is my custom to
expel these night-cap vapours with the good salt water breeze: that is
a commodity that may reach the province without paying duty to his
Lordship! a cheap physic, a cheap physic, masters. Now what scent art
thou upon, Nichol Upstake? Perry Cadger, man of sarsnet and grogram, I
guess thy errand."
"In truth, Robert Swale," said Upstake----
"No Robert Swale, nor Master Robert Swale," testily interrupted the
owner of the cabin: "none of your worshipful phrase for me! Thou art
but a shallow hypocrite to affect this reverence. Rob of the Bowl is
the best I get from you when your longings are satisfied; ay, and it is
said with a curl of your lip; and you make merry over my unworthiness
with your pot-fellows. So, be honest, and give me plain Rob; I seek no
flattery."
"You do us wrong, good Master Rob," interposed Peregrine Cadger----
"To your needs," said Rob, sternly: "Speak in the way of your trade!
You have no voice, nor I ear for aught else."
"Then, in brief," said Nichol Upstake, "I would fain know if you could
supply me with Antigua to-day, or aqua vitae, I care not which?"
"If such a thing might be, where wouldst thou take it, Nichol?"
inquired Rob.
"To Warrington on the Cliffs."
"Ay, to Warrington on the Cliffs; good!--and warily to be borne? no
hawk's eye upon thy path?"
"It shall be by night, if you like it," said the dealer.
"Well, well!" replied the Cripple; "I can give you a little of both,
master: a flagon or so; some three or four. My hut is small, and hath a
scant cellar. But the money in hand, Nichol Upstake! Good gold--full
weight--and a fair price, too, mark you! I must have a trifle above my
last market--ten shillings the gallon on the brandy, and two more for
the Antigua. Leave thy kegs, and see me again at sunset. The money in
hand! the money in hand! there is no trust in my commonwealth."
"It shall be so," said Nichol.
"And now, Master Cadger, what wilt? You have a scheme to cozen dame and
wench with gewgaws; I see it in thine eye: and you will swear upon book
and cross, if need be, they have stood you a wondrous hard purchase,
even at the full three hundred per cent. excess you purpose to exact
above the cost; and all the while it has come out of Rob's warehouse as
cheap as beggars' alms: Ha, ha, ha! This world thrives on honesty! it
grows fat on virtue! knavery only starves! Your rogue in rags, what
hath he but his deserts! Let him repent and turn virtuous, like you and
me, Perry, and his torn cloak and threadbare doublet shall be fenced
and lined to defy all weathers. Hark ye, master, I have camblets,
satins, and velvets, cambric, and lawn for thee--choice commodities
all. Thou shalt see them in the hut."
"How came you by so rich an inventory, Rob?"
The Cripple turned a fierce eye upon the mercer, and with one glance
conveyed his meaning, as he touched the handle of his dagger and said
in a low tone,
"Dost forget the covenant between us? Peregrine Cadger you know I brook
no such question."
The mercer stood for a moment abashed, and then replied: "An idle word,
Master Rob, which meant no harm: as you say, honesty will only thrive.
You shall find never a knave that is not some part fool. I will into
the hut to look at the wares."
"Do so," said the Cripple. "You will find them in the box behind the
door. There is need that you leave me, so follow him, Nichol. I have
sudden business, masters, which it does not concern you to witness.
When you have seen what you desire, depart quickly; leave your sacks
and come back at sunset. I charge you, have a care that your eyes do
not wander towards my motions. You know me, and know that I have
sentinels upon your steps who have power to sear your eye-balls if you
but steal one forbidden glance: away!"
The dealers withdrew into the hut, wondering at the abrupt termination
of their interview, and implicitly confiding in the power of the
Cripple to make good his threat.
"The Lord have mercy upon us!" said the mercer, in a smothered voice,
after they had entered the door; "the Cripple hath matters on hand
which it were not for our good to pry into. Pray you, Nichol, let us
make our survey and do his bidding, by setting forth at once. I am not
the man to give him offence."
The cause of this unexpected dismissal of the visiters was the
apparition of Cocklescraft, whose figure, in the doubtful light of the
morning, was seen by Rob at a distance, on the profile of the bank in
the neighbourhood of the Wizard's Chapel. He had halted upon observing
the Cripple in company with strangers, and had made a signal which was
sufficiently intelligible to the person to whom it was addressed, to
explain his wish to meet him.
Rob, having thus promptly rid himself of his company, now swung on his
short crutches, almost as rapidly as a good walker could have got over
the ground, towards the spot where the Buccaneer had halted.
"Steer your cockleshell there to the right, old worm!" said the
Freebooter, as Rob came opposite to the bank on which he stood. "You
shall find it easier to come up by the hollow."
"The plagues of a foul conscience light on thee!" replied the Cripple,
desisting from farther motion, and wiping the perspiration from his
brow. "Is it more seemly I should waste my strength on the fruitless
labour to clamber up that rough slope, or thou come down to me? You
mock me, sirrah!" he added, with an expression of sudden anger; "Thou
know'st I cannot mount the bank."
"Thou know'st I can drag thee up, reverend fragment of a sinful man!"
returned Cocklescraft, jocularly; "yes, and with all thy pack of evil
passions at thy back, besides. Would you hold our meeting in sight from
the window of the hut, where you have just lodged a pair of your busy
meddlers--your bumpkin cronies in the way of trade? It was such as
these that, but a few nights ago, set his Lordship's hounds upon our
tracks. Come up, man, without farther parley."
The Cripple's fleeting anger changed, as usual, to that bitter smile
and chuckle with which he was wont to return into a tractable mood, as
he said,--
"A provident rogue! a shrewd imp! He has his instinct of mischief so
keen that his forecast never sleepeth. The devil hath made him a
perfect scholar. There, Dickon, give me thy hand," he added, when he
came to the steep ascent which his machine of locomotion was utterly
inadequate to surmount. "Give me thy hand, good cut-throat. Help me to
the top."
The muscular seaman, instead of extending his hand to his companion,
descended the bank, and taking the bowl and its occupant upon his
shoulder, strode upward to the even ground, and deposited his load with
as little apparent effort as if he had been dealing with a truss of
hay.
"Bravely!" ejaculated Rob, when he was set down. "I scarce could have
done better in my best day. Now, what set thee to jogging so early,
Dickon? Where dost thou come from?"
"From the Chapel," replied the other. "I came there from the Port last
night, express to see you; and having no special favour for the bed I
slept on, I left it at the first streak of light to go and rouse you
from your dreams, and lo! there you are at one of your dog and wolf
bargains with the country side clowns."
"Discreet knaves, Dickon, who have come to ease us of somewhat of our
charge of contraband: stout jerkins--stout and well lined; rogues of
substance--Nichol Upstake, the ordinary keeper of Warrington, and Perry
Cadger, the mercer of St. Mary's. Seeing thee here, I dismissed them
until sunset. That Peregrine Cadger is somewhat leaky as a gossip, and
might tell tales if he were aware that I consorted with you."
"I see them taking the road on their ponies," said Cocklescraft; "we
may venture to the hut. I am sharp set for breakfast, and when I have a
contented stomach, I will hold discourse with you, Rob, touching
matters of some concern to us both."
The Cripple and his guest, upon this hint, repaired to the hut, and in
due time the morning meal was supplied and despatched. Cocklescraft
then opened the purport of his visit.
"Has it ever come into your wise brain, Master Rob," he asked, "that
you are getting somewhat old; and that it might behoove you to make a
shrift at the confessional, by way of settling your account? I take it,
it will not be a very clean reckoning without a good swashing penance."
"How now, thou malignant kite!" exclaimed the Cripple; "what's in the
wind?"
"Simply, Rob, that the time has come when, peradventure, we must part.
I am tired of this wicked life. I shall amend; and I come to counsel
you to the like virtuous resolution. I will be married, Robert Swale,
Man of the Bowl!"
"Grammercy! thou wilt be married! thou! I spit upon thee for a fool.
What crotchet is this?"
"I will be married, as I say, neither more nor less. Now to what wench,
ask you? Why to the very fairest and primest flower of this
province--the Rose of St. Mary's--the Collector's own daughter. I mark
that devil's sneer of unbelief of yours, old buckler man: truer word
was never spoke by son of the sea or land, than I speak now."
"To the Collector's daughter!" ejaculated the Cripple, in a tone of
derision. "Thy carriage is bold in the Port, but no measure of audacity
will ever bring thee to that favour. Would'st thou play at thine old
game, and sack the town, and take the daintiest in it for ransom? You
know no other trick of wooing, Dickon."
"By my hand, Rob, I am specially besought by the Collector to make one
at a choice merry-making which his daughter has on foot for next
Thursday. Ay, and I am going, on his set command, to dance a gailliard
with Mistress Blanche. Oh, she shall be the very bird of the sea--the
girl of the billow, Rob! She shall be empress of the green wave that
nursed me, and the blue sky, and the wide waste. Her throne shall be on
the deck of my gay bark: and my merry men shall spring at her beck as
deftly as at the boatswain's pipe!"
"You shall sooner meet your deservings," said Rob, "on the foal of the
acorn, with a hempen string, than find grace with the Collector's
child. Thy whole life has been adversary to the good will of the
father."
"I know it," replied Cocklescraft. "I was born in natural warfare with
the customs and all who gather them; the more praise for my exploit! I
shall change my ways and forsake evil company. I shall be a man of
worship. We shall shut up the Chapel, Rob; expel our devils; pack off
our witches to Norway, and establish an honest vocation. Therefore,
Rob, go to father Pierre; repent of your misdeeds, and live upon your
past gains. You are rich and may afford to entertain henceforth a
reputable conscience."
"Do not palter with me, sirrah! but tell me what this imports."
"Then truly, Rob, I am much disturbed in my fancies. I love the wench,
and mean to have her--fairly if I can--but after the fashion of the
Coast if I must. She doth not consent as yet--mainly because she hath a
toy of delight in that silken Secretary of my Lord--a bookish
pale-cheeked, sickly strummer of stringed instruments--one Master
Verheyden, I think they call him."
"Ha!" exclaimed the Cripple, as a frown gathered on his brow; "what is
he? Whence comes he?"
"His Lordship's chamber secretary," replied Cocklescraft; "brought
hither I know not when nor whence. A silent-paced, priestly pattern of
modesty, who feeds on the favour of his betters, as a lady's dog, that
being allowed to lick the hand of his mistress, takes the privilege to
snarl on all who approach her. I shall make light work with him by
whipping him out of my way. Why are you angry, that you scowl so,
Master Rob?"
"I needs must be angry to see thee make a fool of thyself," replied the
master of the hut. "Verheyden--his Lordship's secretary!" he muttered
to himself. "No, no! it would be a folly to think it."
"Mutter as you will, Rob," said Cocklescraft; "by St. Iago, I will try
conclusions with the Secretary--folly or no folly! He hath taught the
maiden," he added, with a bitter emphasis, "to affect a scorn for me,
and he shall smart for it."
"Ha! thy spirit is ever for undoing!" exclaimed Rob, suddenly changing
his mood, and forcing a harsh laugh of derision. "Mischief is your
proper element--your food, your repose, your luxury. Well, if thou
needst must take on a new life, and strive to be worshipful, I would
counsel thee to begin it with some deed of charity, not strife. I had
as well make my lecture to a young wolf! Ha, Dickon, thou wilt be a
prospering pupil to the master that teaches thee the virtue of charity!
Such rede will be welcome to thee as water to thy shoes! I have scanned
thee in all thy humours!"
"I spurn upon your advice, and will not be scorned, old man!" said
Cocklescraft, angrily. "The maiden shall be mine, though I pluck her
from beneath her father's blazing roof-tree; and then farewell to the
province, and to thee! Mark you that! I come not to be taunted with thy
ill-favoured speech! My men shall be withdrawn from the Chapel. I will
put them on worthier service than to minister to thy greediness."
"Hot-brained, silly idiot--thou drivelling fool!" shouted Rob. "Dost
thou not know that I can put thee in the dust and trample on thee as a
caitiff? that I can drive thee from the province as a vile outlaw? Art
thou such a dizzard as to tempt my anger? If you would thrive even in
your villanous wooing, have a care not to provoke my displeasure! One
word from me, and not a man paces thy deck: thou goest abroad
unattended, stiverless--a fugitive, with hue and cry at thy heels. How
dar'st thou reprove me, boy?"
"Thy hand, Rob," said Cocklescraft, relenting. "You say no more than my
folly warrants; I am a wanton fool: your pardon--let there be peace
between us."
"Art reasonable again? Bravely confessed, Dickon! I forgive thy rash
speech. Now go thy ways, and the Foul One speed thee! I have naught to
counsel, either for strife or peace, since thou hast neither wit,
wisdom, nor patience for sober advice against the current of thy will.
It will not be long before this maimed trunk shall sink into its
natural resting place--and it matters not to me how my remnant of time
be spent--whether in hoarding or keeping. The world will find me an
heir to squander what little store it hath pleased my fortune to
gather. So go thy ways!"
"I will see you again, friend Rob," said the Buccaneer. "I have matter
to look after at the Chapel, and then shall get back to the Port, to
drive my suit to a speedy issue. I came here but in honest dealing with
you, to give you friendly notice of my design, and, perchance, to get
your aid. You have no counsel for me? It is well; my own head and arm
shall befriend me; they have stood me in stead in straits more doubtful
than this: farewell--farewell!"
As the Skipper stepped along the beach, Rob planted himself in the door
of the hut and looked after him for some moments, nodding his head
significantly towards him, and muttering in a cynical undertone, "Go
thy ways, snake of the sea, spawn of a water devil! Thou married! ha,
ha! Thy lady gay shall have a sweetened cup in thee: and thy wooing
shall be tender and gentle--yea, as the appetite of the sword-fish. It
shall be festival wooing--all in the light--in the light--of the
bride's own blazing roof: a dainty wolf! a most tractable shark! Oh, I
cannot choose but laugh!"

DEWEES ON THE DISEASES OF CHILDREN.
Seventh Edition, with Additions.
A work that should be in every family. The objects of it are, 1st, to
teach those who have the charge of children, either as parent or
guardian, the most approved methods of securing and improving their
physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the duties which the
parent or the guardian owes for this purpose to this interesting, but
helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be
fulfilled. And 2d, to render available a long experience to these
objects of our affection when they become diseased. In attempting this,
the author has avoided as much as possible "technicality;" and has
given, if he does not flatter himself too much, to each disease of
which he treats, its appropriate and designating characters, with a
fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded together, with the
best mode of treating them that either his own experience or that of
others has suggested.
