CHAPTER ~.
The course Of our narrative now lead.
US to The chamber Of John Adderly. The
lawyer is seated in an easy, stuffed leather
chair. in deep thought, while his fingers
are mechanically beating the time OF some
tune, of which his mind takes no cogni-
zance. From this reverie, he is suddenly
aroused by the entrance Of clumsy,
ihick set man, with heavy eyebrows,
and harsh irregular features, rendered even
more forbidding by the evident effects oil
riotous excuses, and course OF con,inu'
ed inebriety. Welcoming the newcomer
with a mixed gesture Of familiarity and
hautrur, AdderIy thus began:
Ford, when | succeeded in obtaining
your acquittal from the serious affair in
which you were las. engaged, you swors
you were bound TO me forever. and tina
il al any time should need clear wi
and ready hand, nigh, command YOU
services. The time has at length come
are you willing to aid me.
Why. lawyer, do you see, in the irs
place, | might as well say yes, wiIhou
asking any question, and then again
p'raps il would be better TO say nuthin
until | knows wha, the job is--cos, as 1
body nigh, say, its not altogether pleasan
for man to be runnin' his head into ;
moose. and not know nu,hin' al all abou
it until. it gifts there. So, If you'll jus
give me little light upon what's I" b.
; done. so Ill soon tell you whether Ill d.
il or no.
J! Pshaw! il is a mere triAc ask Of yoI
only 10 assis. me in running way will
a girl.
Oh, If that's all. I'll serve you with tn
greatest pleasure imaginable. Who i
the creetufl
Is i. Of any consequences that yO'
. should know her nsmel
, Why. no. j, don't make any mucI
! difference; bu. what are you going to d.
: with her after we have carried he of,
: Marry her.
q Wha,--reslly!
\, Certainly.
Then where's The use Of runnin' ava,
/. with her al all! why not marry her here
and save all further trouble about il!
: Because she will no, consent.
n Oh! then, you want to make her you
r wife, willy nilly. as somebody says-we
y don't care If I helm you--of cours
