Then
come
the
witnesses
to
character
,
and
here
Mr
Brass
’
s
gentleman
shines
again
.
It
turns
out
that
Mr
Garland
has
had
no
character
with
Kit
,
no
recommendation
of
him
but
from
his
own
mother
,
and
that
he
was
suddenly
dismissed
by
his
former
master
for
unknown
reasons
.
‘
Really
Mr
Garland
,
’
says
Mr
Brass
’
s
gentleman
,
‘
for
a
person
who
has
arrived
at
your
time
of
life
,
you
are
,
to
say
the
least
of
it
,
singularly
indiscreet
,
I
think
.
’
The
jury
think
so
too
,
and
find
Kit
guilty
.
He
is
taken
off
,
humbly
protesting
his
innocence
.
The
spectators
settle
themselves
in
their
places
with
renewed
attention
,
for
there
are
several
female
witnesses
to
be
examined
in
the
next
case
,
and
it
has
been
rumoured
that
Mr
Brass
’
s
gentleman
will
make
great
fun
in
cross
-
examining
them
for
the
prisoner
.
Kit
’
s
mother
,
poor
woman
,
is
waiting
at
the
grate
below
stairs
,
accompanied
by
Barbara
’
s
mother
(
who
,
honest
soul
!
never
does
anything
but
cry
,
and
hold
the
baby
)
,
and
a
sad
interview
ensues
.
The
newspaper
-
reading
turnkey
has
told
them
all
.
He
don
’
t
think
it
will
be
transportation
for
life
,
because
there
’
s
time
to
prove
the
good
character
yet
,
and
that
is
sure
to
serve
him
.
He
wonders
what
he
did
it
for
.
‘
He
never
did
it
!
’
cries
Kit
’
s
mother
.
‘
Well
,
’
says
the
turnkey
,
‘
I
won
’
t
contradict
you
.
It
’
s
all
one
,
now
,
whether
he
did
it
or
not
.
’
Kit
’
s
mother
can
reach
his
hand
through
the
bars
,
and
she
clasps
it
—
God
,
and
those
to
whom
he
has
given
such
tenderness
,
only
know
in
how
much
agony
.
Kit
bids
her
keep
a
good
heart
,
and
,
under
pretence
of
having
the
children
lifted
up
to
kiss
him
,
prays
Barbara
’
s
mother
in
a
whisper
to
take
her
home
.
‘
Some
friend
will
rise
up
for
us
,
mother
,
’
cried
Kit
,
‘
I
am
sure
.
If
not
now
,
before
long
.
My
innocence
will
come
out
,
mother
,
and
I
shall
be
brought
back
again
;
I
feel
confidence
in
that
.
You
must
teach
little
Jacob
and
the
baby
how
all
this
was
,
for
if
they
thought
I
had
ever
been
dishonest
,
when
they
grew
old
enough
to
understand
,
it
would
break
my
heart
to
know
it
,
if
I
was
thousands
of
miles
away
.
—
Oh
!
is
there
no
good
gentleman
here
,
who
will
take
care
of
her
!
’
The
hand
slips
out
of
his
,
for
the
poor
creature
sinks
down
upon
the
earth
,
insensible
.
Richard
Swiveller
comes
hastily
up
,
elbows
the
bystanders
out
of
the
way
,
takes
her
(
after
some
trouble
)
in
one
arm
after
the
manner
of
theatrical
ravishers
,
and
,
nodding
to
Kit
,
and
commanding
Barbara
’
s
mother
to
follow
,
for
he
has
a
coach
waiting
,
bears
her
swiftly
off
.
Well
;
Richard
took
her
home
.
And
what
astonishing
absurdities
in
the
way
of
quotation
from
song
and
poem
he
perpetrated
on
the
road
,
no
man
knows
.
He
took
her
home
,
and
stayed
till
she
was
recovered
;
and
,
having
no
money
to
pay
the
coach
,
went
back
in
state
to
Bevis
Marks
,
bidding
the
driver
(
for
it
was
Saturday
night
)
wait
at
the
door
while
he
went
in
for
‘
change
.
’
‘
Mr
Richard
,
sir
,
’
said
Brass
cheerfully
,
‘
Good
evening
!
’
Monstrous
as
Kit
’
s
tale
had
appeared
,
at
first
,
Mr
Richard
did
,
that
night
,
half
suspect
his
affable
employer
of
some
deep
villany
.
Perhaps
it
was
but
the
misery
he
had
just
witnessed
which
gave
his
careless
nature
this
impulse
;
but
,
be
that
as
it
may
,
it
was
very
strong
upon
him
,
and
he
said
in
as
few
words
as
possible
,
what
he
wanted
.
