Ring
the
bell
;
I
want
missy
to
come
.
"
It
was
a
servant
who
came
in
answer
to
the
bell
.
"
Tell
missy
to
come
!
"
said
Mr
.
Featherstone
,
impatiently
.
"
What
business
had
she
to
go
away
?
"
He
spoke
in
the
same
tone
when
Mary
came
.
"
Why
couldn
’
t
you
sit
still
here
till
I
told
you
to
go
?
want
my
waistcoat
now
.
I
told
you
always
to
put
it
on
the
bed
.
"
Mary
’
s
eyes
looked
rather
red
,
as
if
she
had
been
crying
.
It
was
clear
that
Mr
.
Featherstone
was
in
one
of
his
most
snappish
humors
this
morning
,
and
though
Fred
had
now
the
prospect
of
receiving
the
much
-
needed
present
of
money
,
he
would
have
preferred
being
free
to
turn
round
on
the
old
tyrant
and
tell
him
that
Mary
Garth
was
too
good
to
be
at
his
beck
.
Though
Fred
had
risen
as
she
entered
the
room
,
she
had
barely
noticed
him
,
and
looked
as
if
her
nerves
were
quivering
with
the
expectation
that
something
would
be
thrown
at
her
.
But
she
never
had
anything
worse
than
words
to
dread
.
When
she
went
to
reach
the
waistcoat
from
a
peg
,
Fred
went
up
to
her
and
said
,
"
Allow
me
.
"
"
Let
it
alone
!
You
bring
it
,
missy
,
and
lay
it
down
here
,
"
said
Mr
.
Featherstone
.
"
Now
you
go
away
again
till
I
call
you
,
"
he
added
,
when
the
waistcoat
was
laid
down
by
him
.
It
was
usual
with
him
to
season
his
pleasure
in
showing
favor
to
one
person
by
being
especially
disagreeable
to
another
,
and
Mary
was
always
at
hand
to
furnish
the
condiment
.
When
his
own
relatives
came
she
was
treated
better
.
Slowly
he
took
out
a
bunch
of
keys
from
the
waistcoat
pocket
,
and
slowly
he
drew
forth
a
tin
box
which
was
under
the
bed
-
clothes
.
"
You
expect
I
am
going
to
give
you
a
little
fortune
,
eh
?
"
he
said
,
looking
above
his
spectacles
and
pausing
in
the
act
of
opening
the
lid
.
"
Not
at
all
,
sir
.
You
were
good
enough
to
speak
of
making
me
a
present
the
other
day
,
else
,
of
course
,
I
should
not
have
thought
of
the
matter
.
"
But
Fred
was
of
a
hopeful
disposition
,
and
a
vision
had
presented
itself
of
a
sum
just
large
enough
to
deliver
him
from
a
certain
anxiety
.
When
Fred
got
into
debt
,
it
always
seemed
to
him
highly
probable
that
something
or
other
—
he
did
not
necessarily
conceive
what
—
would
come
to
pass
enabling
him
to
pay
in
due
time
.
And
now
that
the
providential
occurrence
was
apparently
close
at
hand
,
it
would
have
been
sheer
absurdity
to
think
that
the
supply
would
be
short
of
the
need
:
as
absurd
as
a
faith
that
believed
in
half
a
miracle
for
want
of
strength
to
believe
in
a
whole
one
.
The
deep
-
veined
hands
fingered
many
bank
-
notes
-
one
after
the
other
,
laying
them
down
flat
again
,
while
Fred
leaned
back
in
his
chair
,
scorning
to
look
eager
.
He
held
himself
to
be
a
gentleman
at
heart
,
and
did
not
like
courting
an
old
fellow
for
his
money
.
At
last
,
Mr
.
Featherstone
eyed
him
again
over
his
spectacles
and
presented
him
with
a
little
sheaf
of
notes
:
Fred
could
see
distinctly
that
there
were
but
five
,
as
the
less
significant
edges
gaped
towards
him
.
But
then
,
each
might
mean
fifty
pounds
.
