You
see
in
me
,
good
people
,
’
he
said
,
turning
to
the
newly
-
married
couple
,
‘
one
to
whom
life
itself
is
not
dearer
than
the
two
persons
whom
I
seek
.
They
would
not
know
me
.
My
features
are
strange
to
them
,
but
if
they
or
either
of
them
are
here
,
take
this
good
woman
with
you
,
and
let
them
see
her
first
,
for
her
they
both
know
.
If
you
deny
them
from
any
mistaken
regard
or
fear
for
them
,
judge
of
my
intentions
by
their
recognition
of
this
person
as
their
old
humble
friend
.
’
‘
I
always
said
it
!
’
cried
the
bride
,
‘
I
knew
she
was
not
a
common
child
!
Alas
,
sir
!
we
have
no
power
to
help
you
,
for
all
that
we
could
do
,
has
been
tried
in
vain
.
’
With
that
,
they
related
to
him
,
without
disguise
or
concealment
,
all
that
they
knew
of
Nell
and
her
grandfather
,
from
their
first
meeting
with
them
,
down
to
the
time
of
their
sudden
disappearance
;
adding
(
which
was
quite
true
)
that
they
had
made
every
possible
effort
to
trace
them
,
but
without
success
;
having
been
at
first
in
great
alarm
for
their
safety
,
as
well
as
on
account
of
the
suspicions
to
which
they
themselves
might
one
day
be
exposed
in
consequence
of
their
abrupt
departure
.
They
dwelt
upon
the
old
man
’
s
imbecility
of
mind
,
upon
the
uneasiness
the
child
had
always
testified
when
he
was
absent
,
upon
the
company
he
had
been
supposed
to
keep
,
and
upon
the
increased
depression
which
had
gradually
crept
over
her
and
changed
her
both
in
health
and
spirits
.
Whether
she
had
missed
the
old
man
in
the
night
,
and
knowing
or
conjecturing
whither
he
had
bent
his
steps
,
had
gone
in
pursuit
,
or
whether
they
had
left
the
house
together
,
they
had
no
means
of
determining
.
Certain
they
considered
it
,
that
there
was
but
slender
prospect
left
of
hearing
of
them
again
,
and
that
whether
their
flight
originated
with
the
old
man
,
or
with
the
child
,
there
was
now
no
hope
of
their
return
.
To
all
this
,
the
single
gentleman
listened
with
the
air
of
a
man
quite
borne
down
by
grief
and
disappointment
.
He
shed
tears
when
they
spoke
of
the
grandfather
,
and
appeared
in
deep
affliction
Not
to
protract
this
portion
of
our
narrative
,
and
to
make
short
work
of
a
long
story
,
let
it
be
briefly
written
that
before
the
interview
came
to
a
close
,
the
single
gentleman
deemed
he
had
sufficient
evidence
of
having
been
told
the
truth
,
and
that
he
endeavoured
to
force
upon
the
bride
and
bridegroom
an
acknowledgment
of
their
kindness
to
the
unfriended
child
,
which
,
however
,
they
steadily
declined
accepting
.
In
the
end
,
the
happy
couple
jolted
away
in
the
caravan
to
spend
their
honeymoon
in
a
country
excursion
;
and
the
single
gentleman
and
Kit
’
s
mother
stood
ruefully
before
their
carriage
-
door
.
‘
Where
shall
we
drive
you
,
sir
?
’
said
the
post
-
boy
.
‘
You
may
drive
me
,
’
said
the
single
gentleman
,
‘
to
the
—
’
He
was
not
going
to
add
‘
inn
,
’
but
he
added
it
for
the
sake
of
Kit
’
s
mother
;
and
to
the
inn
they
went
.
Rumours
had
already
got
abroad
that
the
little
girl
who
used
to
show
the
wax
-
work
,
was
the
child
of
great
people
who
had
been
stolen
from
her
parents
in
infancy
,
and
had
only
just
been
traced
.
Opinion
was
divided
whether
she
was
the
daughter
of
a
prince
,
a
duke
,
an
earl
,
a
viscount
,
or
a
baron
,
but
all
agreed
upon
the
main
fact
,
and
that
the
single
gentleman
was
her
father
;
and
all
bent
forward
to
catch
a
glimpse
,
though
it
were
only
of
the
tip
of
his
noble
nose
,
as
he
rode
away
,
desponding
,
in
his
four
-
horse
chaise
.
What
would
he
have
given
to
know
,
and
what
sorrow
would
have
been
saved
if
he
had
only
known
,
that
at
that
moment
both
child
and
grandfather
were
seated
in
the
old
church
porch
,
patiently
awaiting
the
schoolmaster
’
s
return
!
Popular
rumour
concerning
the
single
gentleman
and
his
errand
,
travelling
from
mouth
to
mouth
,
and
waxing
stronger
in
the
marvellous
as
it
was
bandied
about
—
for
your
popular
rumour
,
unlike
the
rolling
stone
of
the
proverb
,
is
one
which
gathers
a
deal
of
moss
in
its
wanderings
up
and
down
—
occasioned
his
dismounting
at
the
inn
-
door
to
be
looked
upon
as
an
exciting
and
attractive
spectacle
,
which
could
scarcely
be
enough
admired
;
and
drew
together
a
large
concourse
of
idlers
,
who
having
recently
been
,
as
it
were
,
thrown
out
of
employment
by
the
closing
of
the
wax
-
work
and
the
completion
of
the
nuptial
ceremonies
,
considered
his
arrival
as
little
else
than
a
special
providence
,
and
hailed
it
with
demonstrations
of
the
liveliest
joy
.
