I
shouldn
’
t
wonder
if
Featherstone
had
better
feelings
than
any
of
us
gave
him
credit
for
,
"
he
observed
,
in
the
ear
of
his
wife
.
"
This
funeral
shows
a
thought
about
everybody
:
it
looks
well
when
a
man
wants
to
be
followed
by
his
friends
,
and
if
they
are
humble
,
not
to
be
ashamed
of
them
.
I
should
be
all
the
better
pleased
if
he
’
d
left
lots
of
small
legacies
.
They
may
be
uncommonly
useful
to
fellows
in
a
small
way
.
"
"
Everything
is
as
handsome
as
could
be
,
crape
and
silk
and
everything
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Vincy
,
contentedly
.
But
I
am
sorry
to
say
that
Fred
was
under
some
difficulty
in
repressing
a
laugh
,
which
would
have
been
more
unsuitable
than
his
father
’
s
snuff
-
box
.
Fred
had
overheard
Mr
.
Jonah
suggesting
something
about
a
"
love
-
child
,
"
and
with
this
thought
in
his
mind
,
the
stranger
’
s
face
,
which
happened
to
be
opposite
him
,
affected
him
too
ludicrously
.
Mary
Garth
,
discerning
his
distress
in
the
twitchings
of
his
mouth
,
and
his
recourse
to
a
cough
,
came
cleverly
to
his
rescue
by
asking
him
to
change
seats
with
her
,
so
that
he
got
into
a
shadowy
corner
.
Fred
was
feeling
as
good
-
naturedly
as
possible
towards
everybody
,
including
Rigg
;
and
having
some
relenting
towards
all
these
people
who
were
less
lucky
than
he
was
aware
of
being
himself
,
he
would
not
for
the
world
have
behaved
amiss
;
still
,
it
was
particularly
easy
to
laugh
.
But
the
entrance
of
the
lawyer
and
the
two
brothers
drew
every
one
’
s
attention
.
The
lawyer
was
Mr
.
Standish
,
and
he
had
come
to
Stone
Court
this
morning
believing
that
he
knew
thoroughly
well
who
would
be
pleased
and
who
disappointed
before
the
day
was
over
.
The
will
he
expected
to
read
was
the
last
of
three
which
he
had
drawn
up
for
Mr
.
Featherstone
.
Mr
.
Standish
was
not
a
man
who
varied
his
manners
:
he
behaved
with
the
same
deep
-
voiced
,
off
-
hand
civility
to
everybody
,
as
if
he
saw
no
difference
in
them
,
and
talked
chiefly
of
the
hay
-
crop
,
which
would
be
"
very
fine
,
by
God
!
"
of
the
last
bulletins
concerning
the
King
,
and
of
the
Duke
of
Clarence
,
who
was
a
sailor
every
inch
of
him
,
and
just
the
man
to
rule
over
an
island
like
Britain
.
Old
Featherstone
had
often
reflected
as
he
sat
looking
at
the
fire
that
Standish
would
be
surprised
some
day
:
it
is
true
that
if
he
had
done
as
he
liked
at
the
last
,
and
burnt
the
will
drawn
up
by
another
lawyer
,
he
would
not
have
secured
that
minor
end
;
still
he
had
had
his
pleasure
in
ruminating
on
it
.
And
certainly
Mr
.
Standish
was
surprised
,
but
not
at
all
sorry
;
on
the
contrary
,
he
rather
enjoyed
the
zest
of
a
little
curiosity
in
his
own
mind
,
which
the
discovery
of
a
second
will
added
to
the
prospective
amazement
on
the
part
of
the
Featherstone
family
.
As
to
the
sentiments
of
Solomon
and
Jonah
,
they
were
held
in
utter
suspense
:
it
seemed
to
them
that
the
old
will
would
have
a
certain
validity
,
and
that
there
might
be
such
an
interlacement
of
poor
Peter
’
s
former
and
latter
intentions
as
to
create
endless
"
lawing
"
before
anybody
came
by
their
own
—
an
inconvenience
which
would
have
at
least
the
advantage
of
going
all
round
.
Hence
the
brothers
showed
a
thoroughly
neutral
gravity
as
they
re
-
entered
with
Mr
.
Standish
;
but
Solomon
took
out
his
white
handkerchief
again
with
a
sense
that
in
any
case
there
would
be
affecting
passages
,
and
crying
at
funerals
,
however
dry
,
was
customarily
served
up
in
lawn
.
Perhaps
the
person
who
felt
the
most
throbbing
excitement
at
this
moment
was
Mary
Garth
,
in
the
consciousness
that
it
was
she
who
had
virtually
determined
the
production
of
this
second
will
,
which
might
have
momentous
effects
on
the
lot
of
some
persons
present
.
No
soul
except
herself
knew
what
had
passed
on
that
final
night
.
"
The
will
I
hold
in
my
hand
,
"
said
Mr
.
Standish
,
who
,
seated
at
the
table
in
the
middle
of
the
room
,
took
his
time
about
everything
,
including
the
coughs
with
which
he
showed
a
disposition
to
clear
his
voice
,
"
was
drawn
up
by
myself
and
executed
by
our
deceased
friend
on
the
9th
of
August
,
1825
.
But
I
find
that
there
is
a
subsequent
instrument
hitherto
unknown
to
me
,
bearing
date
the
20th
of
July
,
1826
,
hardly
a
year
later
than
the
previous
one
.
And
there
is
farther
,
I
see
"
—
Mr
.
Standish
was
cautiously
travelling
over
the
document
with
his
spectacles
—
"
a
codicil
to
this
latter
will
,
bearing
date
March
1
,
1828
.
