CHAPTER VI.

On our way back to Greenwich we
staid at an inn by the road to refresh
ourselves, and there, having snug par
lor to ourselves and being seated about
a fine cheese, with each full measure
of ale, Don Sanchez asks us if we are
satisfied with our undertaking.
AYE, that we are" replies Dawson,
nightly pleased as usual to be a-feast-
ing. 1--WE desire nothing better than to
serve your honor faithfully in all ways
and are ready to put our hands to any
bout you may choose to draw up"
Can you show me the man," asks
the don, lifting his eyebrows contemp-
tuously, "who ever kept a treaty he was
minded to break? Men are honest
enough when naught's to be gained by
breaking faith. Are You both agreed to
this course?"
Eyes, senor," says 1, "and my only
conjunction now is that can do so lit
tie to forward this business. "
"Why, SO far as l can see into it,
says Dawson, lone of us must be cast
for old Mrs Goodwin if Moll is to be
her daughter, and you're filter to play
the part than l, for take it this old
gentlewoman should be of more deli
cate, sickly composition than mine"
ave will suppose that Mrs. Goodwin
is dead" says the don gravely.
"Aye, to be sure That simplifies the
thing nightly. But pray, senior, what
parts are we to play?'
1.-THE parts you have played today.
You go with me to fetch Judith Goodwin
from Barbary."
This hangs together and ought to
play we'll. Eth, Kit?'
l asked Don Sanchez how long, in the
ordinary course of things, an expedition
of this kind would take.
THAT depends upon accidents of
many kinds" answers he. "We may
very we'll stretch it out the best part of
year"
"a year." says Jack, scratching his
ear ruefully, for believe he had count
ed upon coming to live like lord in a
few weeks. "And what ON earth are
we to do in the meanwhile?"
Educate Moll," answers the don.
"She can read anything, print or
script" says Jack proudly, land write
her own name.
judith Goodwin" says the don re-
fiectively, "lived two years in Italy.
She would certainly remember some
words of Italian. Consider this-it is
not sufficient merely to obtain posses
sion of this estate. 1t must be held
against the jealous opposition Of that
shrewd steward and Of the presumptive
heir, Mr.. Thomas Goodwin, who may
come forward"
You're in the right, senior. Well
there's Kit, who knows the language
and can teach her that, warrant, in nc
time"
Judith would probably know some
thing of music, pursues the don.
why, Moll can play Kits fiddle al
well as he. 3"
"But, above all, " continues the don
as taking no heed of this tribute tt
