He
did
this
,
he
said
,
to
mark
his
confidence
in
the
other
,
and
his
conviction
--
only
strengthened
by
approaching
death
--
that
the
child
would
share
her
gentle
heart
,
and
noble
nature
.
If
he
were
disappointed
in
this
expectation
,
then
the
money
was
to
come
to
you
:
for
then
,
and
not
till
then
,
when
both
children
were
equal
,
would
he
recognise
your
prior
claim
upon
his
purse
,
who
had
none
upon
his
heart
,
but
had
,
from
an
infant
,
repulsed
him
with
coldness
and
aversion
.
'
'
My
mother
,
'
said
Monks
,
in
a
louder
tone
,
'
did
what
a
woman
should
have
done
.
She
burnt
this
will
.
The
letter
never
reached
its
destination
;
but
that
,
and
other
proofs
,
she
kept
,
in
case
they
ever
tried
to
lie
away
the
blot
.
The
girl
's
father
had
the
truth
from
her
with
every
aggravation
that
her
violent
hate
--
I
love
her
for
it
now
--
could
add
.
Goaded
by
shame
and
dishonour
he
fled
with
his
children
into
a
remote
corner
of
Wales
,
changing
his
very
name
that
his
friends
might
never
know
of
his
retreat
;
and
here
,
no
great
while
afterwards
,
he
was
found
dead
in
his
bed
.
The
girl
had
left
her
home
,
in
secret
,
some
weeks
before
;
he
had
searched
for
her
,
on
foot
,
in
every
town
and
village
near
;
it
was
on
the
night
when
he
returned
home
,
assured
that
she
had
destroyed
herself
,
to
hide
her
shame
and
his
,
that
his
old
heart
broke
.
'
There
was
a
short
silence
here
,
until
Mr.
Brownlow
took
up
the
thread
of
the
narrative
.
'
Years
after
this
,
'
he
said
,
'
this
man
's
--
Edward
Leeford
's
--
mother
came
to
me
.
He
had
left
her
,
when
only
eighteen
;
robbed
her
of
jewels
and
money
;
gambled
,
squandered
,
forged
,
and
fled
to
London
:
where
for
two
years
he
had
associated
with
the
lowest
outcasts
.
She
was
sinking
under
a
painful
and
incurable
disease
,
and
wished
to
recover
him
before
she
died
.
Inquiries
were
set
on
foot
,
and
strict
searches
made
.
They
were
unavailing
for
a
long
time
,
but
ultimately
successful
;
and
he
went
back
with
her
to
France
.
'
There
she
died
,
'
said
Monks
,
'
after
a
lingering
illness
;
and
,
on
her
death-bed
,
she
bequeathed
these
secrets
to
me
,
together
with
her
unquenchable
and
deadly
hatred
of
all
whom
they
involved
--
though
she
need
not
have
left
me
that
,
for
I
had
inherited
it
long
before
.
She
would
not
believe
that
the
girl
had
destroyed
herself
,
and
the
child
too
,
but
was
filled
with
the
impression
that
a
male
child
had
been
born
,
and
was
alive
.
I
swore
to
her
,
if
ever
it
crossed
my
path
,
to
hunt
it
down
;
never
to
let
it
rest
;
to
pursue
it
with
the
bitterest
and
most
unrelenting
animosity
;
to
vent
upon
it
the
hatred
that
I
deeply
felt
,
and
to
spit
upon
the
empty
vaunt
of
that
insulting
will
by
draggin
it
,
if
I
could
,
to
the
very
gallows-foot
.
She
was
right
.
He
came
in
my
way
at
last
.
I
began
well
;
and
,
but
for
babbling
drabs
,
I
would
have
finished
as
I
began
!
'
As
the
villain
folded
his
arms
tight
together
,
and
muttered
curses
on
himself
in
the
impotence
of
baffled
malice
,
Mr.
Brownlow
turned
to
the
terrified
group
beside
him
,
and
explained
that
the
Jew
,
who
had
been
his
old
accomplice
and
confidant
,
had
a
large
reward
for
keeping
Oliver
ensnared
:
of
which
some
part
was
to
be
given
up
,
in
the
event
of
his
being
rescued
:
and
that
a
dispute
on
this
head
had
led
to
their
visit
to
the
country
house
for
the
purpose
of
identifying
him
.
'
The
locket
and
ring
?
'
said
Mr.
Brownlow
,
turning
to
Monks
.
