two youngsters could be, with liberty
and $4,000 apiece to spend, for ac-
knowledge that l had no more
thought of saving than Giles. We
took chaise and four to London
no stage-coach for us!-and reached
there in a day. We had planned to
take the finest rooms at Mivart's hotel,
but fate and Lady Hawkshaw pre-
vented me from enjoying them except
for the first night of our arrival. Next
morning on presenting myself at the
admiralty to ask for letters-never
dreaming 1 should have any-I re-
ceived one from Sir Peter Hawkshaw,
which read:
"Grand-Nephew.- Lady Hawkshaw
desires that you will come and bring
your money with you to our house in
Berkeley Square, and remain there.
yours, etc,
"P. HAWKSHAW. c. B."
Great was my distress when l got
this letter, as | foresaw there would
not be much chance under Lady
Hawkshaw's eagle eye of seeing the
kind of life l wished to see. And
was obliged to go. for Sir Peter was
the only person on earth likely to in
terest himself at the admiralty for
me; and / might stay and wither on
shore while others more fortunate got
ships, il antagonized him. And when
Lady Hawkshaw commanded there
was but one thing to do, and that was
to obey.
So, with a heavy heart. l took my
self and my portmanteau and, in a
canvas bag, my 1000 guineas to the
admirals great fine house in Berkeley
Square. My parting with Giles was
melancholy enough; for. with the
womanlsh jealousy of boy, 1 was un-
happy to think he would be enjoying
himself with some one else, while /
was suffering the hardship of having
my money taken care of for me.
Giles had no more forgotten the
Lady Arabella than l had. and, on
reading this note. exclaimed:
POUNDS! l wish Peter and Polly
had sent for me to stay in Berkeley
Square, with that divine creature un-
der the same roof. Do you think,
Dicky, we could exchange identities,
so to speak?" But on my reminding
him that Lady Hawkshaw had de-
manded my prize-money. and would
certainly get it, his ardor 20 stand in
