‘
The
stranger
smiled
again
,
and
remained
immovable
as
a
statue
.
‘
"
I
have
wronged
you
,
"
shrieked
the
old
man
,
falling
on
his
knees
,
and
clasping
his
hands
together
.
"
Be
revenged
;
take
my
all
,
my
life
;
cast
me
into
the
water
at
your
feet
,
and
,
if
human
nature
can
repress
a
struggle
,
I
will
die
,
without
stirring
hand
or
foot
.
Do
it
,
Heyling
,
do
it
,
but
save
my
boy
;
he
is
so
young
,
Heyling
,
so
young
to
die
!
"
‘
"
Listen
,
"
said
the
stranger
,
grasping
the
old
man
fiercely
by
the
wrist
;
"
I
will
have
life
for
life
,
and
here
is
ONE
.
MY
child
died
,
before
his
father
’
s
eyes
,
a
far
more
agonising
and
painful
death
than
that
young
slanderer
of
his
sister
’
s
worth
is
meeting
while
I
speak
.
You
laughed
—
laughed
in
your
daughter
’
s
face
,
where
death
had
already
set
his
hand
—
at
our
sufferings
,
then
.
What
think
you
of
them
now
!
See
there
,
see
there
!
"
‘
As
the
stranger
spoke
,
he
pointed
to
the
sea
.
A
faint
cry
died
away
upon
its
surface
;
the
last
powerful
struggle
of
the
dying
man
agitated
the
rippling
waves
for
a
few
seconds
;
and
the
spot
where
he
had
gone
down
into
his
early
grave
,
was
undistinguishable
from
the
surrounding
water
.
‘
Three
years
had
elapsed
,
when
a
gentleman
alighted
from
a
private
carriage
at
the
door
of
a
London
attorney
,
then
well
known
as
a
man
of
no
great
nicety
in
his
professional
dealings
,
and
requested
a
private
interview
on
business
of
importance
.
Although
evidently
not
past
the
prime
of
life
,
his
face
was
pale
,
haggard
,
and
dejected
;
and
it
did
not
require
the
acute
perception
of
the
man
of
business
,
to
discern
at
a
glance
,
that
disease
or
suffering
had
done
more
to
work
a
change
in
his
appearance
,
than
the
mere
hand
of
time
could
have
accomplished
in
twice
the
period
of
his
whole
life
.
‘
"
I
wish
you
to
undertake
some
legal
business
for
me
,
"
said
the
stranger
.
‘
The
attorney
bowed
obsequiously
,
and
glanced
at
a
large
packet
which
the
gentleman
carried
in
his
hand
.
His
visitor
observed
the
look
,
and
proceeded
.
‘
"
It
is
no
common
business
,
"
said
he
;
"
nor
have
these
papers
reached
my
hands
without
long
trouble
and
great
expense
.
"
‘
The
attorney
cast
a
still
more
anxious
look
at
the
packet
;
and
his
visitor
,
untying
the
string
that
bound
it
,
disclosed
a
quantity
of
promissory
notes
,
with
copies
of
deeds
,
and
other
documents
.
‘
"
Upon
these
papers
,
"
said
the
client
,
"
the
man
whose
name
they
bear
,
has
raised
,
as
you
will
see
,
large
sums
of
money
,
for
years
past
.
There
was
a
tacit
understanding
between
him
and
the
men
into
whose
hands
they
originally
went
—
and
from
whom
I
have
by
degrees
purchased
the
whole
,
for
treble
and
quadruple
their
nominal
value
—
that
these
loans
should
be
from
time
to
time
renewed
,
until
a
given
period
had
elapsed
.
Such
an
understanding
is
nowhere
expressed
.
He
has
sustained
many
losses
of
late
;
and
these
obligations
accumulating
upon
him
at
once
,
would
crush
him
to
the
earth
.
