Law
,
Betsy
,
how
could
you
go
for
to
tell
such
a
wicked
story
!
"
said
Hester
,
the
little
kitchen-maid
late
on
her
promotion
--
"
and
to
Madame
Crawley
,
so
good
and
kind
,
and
his
Rev
'
rince
(
with
a
curtsey
)
,
and
you
may
search
all
MY
boxes
,
Mum
,
I
'm
sure
,
and
here
's
my
keys
as
I
'm
an
honest
girl
,
though
of
pore
parents
and
workhouse
bred
--
and
if
you

so
much
as
a
beggarly
bit
of
lace
or
a
silk
stocking
out
of
all
the
gownds
as
YOU

had
the
picking
of

"
"
Give

you
hardened
hussy
,

hissed
out
the
virtuous
little
lady
in
the
calash
.
"
And

's
a
candle
,
Mum
,
and
if
you

,
Mum
,
I

Mum
,
and

housekeeper
's
room
,
Mum
,
where
she
keeps
heaps
and
heaps
of
things
,
Mum
,
"
cried
out
the
eager
little
Hester
with
a
profusion
of
curtseys
.
"
Hold
your
tongue
,
if
you
please
.
I
know
the
room
which
the
creature
occupies
perfectly
well
.
Mrs.
Brown
,
have
the
goodness
to
come
with
me
,
and
Beddoes
do
n't
you
lose
sight
of
that
woman
,
"
said
Mrs.
Bute
,
seizing
the
candle
.
"
Mr.
Crawley
,
you
had
better
go
upstairs
and
see
that
they
are
not
murdering
your
unfortunate
brother
"
--
and
the
calash
,
escorted
by
Mrs.
Brown
,
walked
away
to
the
apartment
which
,
as
she
said
truly
,
she
knew
perfectly
well
Bute
went
upstairs
and
found
the
Doctor
from
Mudbury
,
with
the
frightened
Horrocks
over
his
master
in
a
chair
.
They
were
trying
to
bleed
Sir
Pitt
Crawley
.
With
the
early
morning
an
express
was
sent
off
to
Mr.
Pitt
Crawley
by
the
Rector
's
lady
,
who
assumed
the
command
of
everything
,
and
had
watched
the
old
Baronet
through
the
night
.
He
had
been
brought
back
to
a
sort
of
life
;
he
could
not
speak
,
but
seemed
to
recognize
people
.
Mrs.
Bute
kept
resolutely
by
his
bedside
.
She
never
seemed
to
want
to
sleep
,
that
little
woman
,
and
did
not
close
her
fiery
black
eyes
once
,
though
the
Doctor
snored
in
the
arm-chair
.
Horrocks
made
some
wild
efforts
to
assert
his
authority
and
assist
his
master
;
but
Mrs.
Bute
called
him
a
tipsy
old
wretch
and
bade
him
never
show
his
face
again
in
that
house
,
or
he
should
be
transported
like
his
abominable
daughter
.
Terrified
by
her
manner
,
he
slunk
down
to
the
oak
parlour
where
Mr.
James
was
,
who
,
having
tried
the
bottle
standing
there
and
found
no
liquor
in
it
,
ordered
Mr.
Horrocks
to
get
another
bottle
of
rum
,
which
he
fetched
,
with
clean
glasses
,
and
to
which
the
Rector
and
his
son
sat
down
,
ordering
Horrocks
to
put
down
the
keys
at
that
instant
and
never
to
show
his
face
again
.
Cowed
by
this
behaviour
,
Horrocks
gave
up
the
keys
,
and
he
and
his
daughter
slunk
off
silently
through
the
night
and
gave
up
possession
of
the
house
of
Queen
's
Crawley
.
The
heir
of
Crawley
arrived
at
home
,
in
due
time
,
after
this
catastrophe
,
and
henceforth
may
be
said
to
have
reigned
in
Queen
's
Crawley
.
For
though
the
old
Baronet
survived
many
months
,
he
never
recovered
the
use
of
his
intellect
or
his
speech
completely
,
and
the
government
of
the
estate
devolved
upon
his
elder
son
.
In
a
strange
condition
Pitt
found
it
.
Sir
Pitt
was
always
buying
and
mortgaging
;
he
had
twenty
men
of
business
,
and
quarrels
with
each
;
quarrels
with
all
his
tenants
,
and
lawsuits
with
them
;
lawsuits
with
the
lawyers
;
lawsuits
with
the
Mining
and
Dock
Companies
in
which
he
was
proprietor
;
and
with
every
person
with
whom
he
had
business
.
To
unravel
these
difficulties
and
to
set
the
estate
clear
was
a
task
worthy
of
the
orderly
and
persevering
diplomatist
of
Pumpernickel
,
and
he
set
himself
to
work
with
prodigious
assiduity
.
His
whole
family
,
of
course
,
was
transported
to
Queen
's
Crawley
,
whither
Lady
Southdown
,
of
course
,
came
too
;
and
she
set
about
converting
the
parish
under
the
Rector
's
nose
,
and
brought
down
her
irregular
clergy
to
the
dismay
of
the
angry
Mrs
Bute
.
Sir
Pitt
had
concluded
no
bargain
for
the
sale
of
the
living
of
Queen
's
Crawley
;
when
it
should
drop
,
her
Ladyship
proposed
to
take
the
patronage
into
her
own
hands
and
present
a
young
protege
to
the
Rectory
,
on
which
subject
the
diplomatic
Pitt
said
nothing
.
Mrs.
Bute
's
intentions
with
regard
to
Miss
Betsy
Horrocks
were
not
carried
into
effect
,
and
she
paid
no
visit
to
Southampton
Gaol
.
