Soon the
trunk, portmanteau and hat box were ready. It feels like I’ve got a snake of mucus stuffing my entire
throat, just one big solid rope. ‘Now then, where did you
spring from?’
‘Do not concern yourself from where I come,’ Melusine snapped. He turned the water off and handed her a towel. “I don’t see that his
being a good sort matters. . “Hola Marteen!” She exclaimed
cheerfully. ‘Nothing of the sort,’ argued Gerald. God! I have cheated
myself into a belief that the boy perished! And now my worst fears are realized
—he lives!"
"As yet," returned Jonathan, with fearful emphasis. ’
‘Yes, but they did do so. After encountering other dangers, and being twice, compelled to fling himself
flat upon his face to avoid slipping from the wet and slimy pathway, he was at
length about to emerge from the lock, when, to his inexpressible horror, he found
he had lost the child!
All the blood in his veins rushed to his heart, and he shook in every limb as he
made this discovery. “I would have given up anything to
see you your old self again—as you are this evening. If any of you—or all of you feel the same in six months’
time from to-day, will you come, if you care to, and see me then?”
There was a brief silence. ’
She tried to shake his hands off her wrists, but Gerald held them fast and
tutted at her. Aware that not a moment was to be
lost, if he meant to render any effectual assistance to the child, he ceased
shouting, and defending himself in the best way he could from the attacks of
Rowland, by whom he was closely pressed, forced his way, in spite of all
opposition, to Davies, and dealt him a blow on the head with such good will that,
had it not been for the intervention of the wall, the ruffian must have been
prostrated.
