THE CONITABANDISVS REVENGE,
A CONFESSION
[oomisionn .. .]
At once tho thought rose in my mind, that, if
plenty once more smiled upon us, her affection
for me would be rekindled. I resolved to go
back to my father, state my penitence, and, ap
pealing to his natural affection, implore a re
storation to his house, S and to the station and
prospects of his Eon. I did this, and you may
know the strength of the motive that could in
duce me to undergo ouch a humiliation. I found
him at the works. He appeared much changed
for the worse by the scenes that had previously
occurred.
The moment he saw me, all his anger returned
—o, paroxysm of:rage came upon him. I knelt
to him, and prayed his forgiveness. I wept and
grovelled on the earth in the abjectness of my
entreaties—yes, in the presence of those work.
teen whom I had commanded as a master! Hie
passion only increased. I turned to Ormond who
stJod by, and, reminding him of what I had
done for him, urged his intercession with my ex
asprated parent. But the villain only laughed
at me, and looking, as he mocked, to the men,
they joined with hootinge to the ridicule, and
speedily my father, with their assistance, seiz
ing me, gave me in charge to a constable, and
had me removod to the station-house, where I
was confined forty-eight hours for drunkenness
—for I really had taken a glass or so with the
view of screwing up my nerves for the nonce,
and to this account the magistrate laid the ex
travagance of my behavior.
But after all, tho thing that most amazed me
was the conduct of the scoundrel Ormond. I
could not believe my own recollection.
.Surely, thought 1, I must have deceived my
self: he has been only acting ;—aware as he is
of my father's temper, he has been only feigning
this treatment of me in order not to lose his
favor. No doubt he cherishes towards me the
warmest feelings of gratitude, respect, and sym
pathy, and is continually endeavoring in the, way
he deems most safe and suitable, to turn away
the old man's wrath. I will seek him alone, and
we will concoct together some plan for a recon
ciliation.
Two or three evenings after that, when hun
ger—positive rant of food—had been added to
my sufferings, I watched for him, and at length
observed him, after seeing the largo gates of the
distillery locked, walk away althag the dark and
lane street is which it stood.
I met him, and going close to him wished him
a good evening, and began immediately, and
with perfect confidence, to remark upon the oir
ctumstemees I have detailed. Stopping short,
however, as we walked ha interrupted me.
"Hark ye, Philip," said ho, addressing me
with contemptuous familiarity ; "I say it at once
and for all, and pray keep mind of it for the fu
tnre—l desire to have nothing to say to you,
and nothing to do with you. It is not probable
I Fht , ..lt require your intereat with the old gen
tl..,mon any further. My income as junior part.
nor, though only a sisthof the nett return,is am
ply comfortable just now, especially as I have in
prospect the grod will—you understand—and
possibly something more: lucky fellow ! eh?—
But now, good evening. Don't annoy.me, Give
my love to Ellen Lucas when you see her neat;
tell her that I hope she has not forgotten her old
Man."
At tho beginning of this speech I thought ho
wask
in st, but coon I saw 4ho truth. But what
- 2 -what means that last insinuation ? Would he
have rare believe that any one—that he ?—Oh
madness ! As the idea swelled and took form in
my mind, I became nearly frantic. I sprang at
his throat, almost blinded with fury, and actu
ally fastened on him with my teeth.. -
But ho was a great heavy fellow, more than
six feet in height, and as strong as an oz.—
He shork me off, and with a light cane he car
ried rained lashes on my face and shoulders. I
stood up before him unwinoingly: I would not
have called for help or have turned to escape for
a world. After a minute of this, down I drop
ped in a deati.faint, partly from the pain of the
outs, partly from elecese of impotent rage.
It appeared he walked quietly away. As for
me, I had fallen with my head in the kennel, and
the cold water from the street, running along,
speedily restored me to activity. I started up
and skulked home.
I saw of once that, as far as frame went, ho
was much my superior. As this thought rose in
my mind I laughed in my heart as I set my mind
to scheme up some deep plan of retaliation, in
wh 3 ch I did not care if I welt; myself involved,
provided only my desire of vengeance was fully
glutted
Bud. the wormwood was in tho treatment I now
received from her. Every object of mine that
she could thwart elle did ; exery word she con
tradicted, whilst she made me a subject of con
tinual vituperation and ridicule to the wretched
associates with whom our misery made 113 herd ;
and her murmuring and repining never ceased.
This from any indifferent parson would have
been intolerable; from her, toward whom my
vehement love had as yet suffered no abatement,
it WWI distracting. T flew for relief to my old
consolation—liquor ; and, for a while, I became
a street pest, continually wandering drunk about
the town, hooted by boys—an object of public
sport and contempt.
At length, when I had been to hard labor in
the house of correction and been kept tolerably
sober, I reflected that this was never the way to
accomplish what was now the great object of
my existence. I made a firm resolution to keep
as free from spirits as, considering my habits, I
possibly could, and on leaving the prison pro
ceeded to carry the plan into effect.
But when I left a complicated piece of news
burst upon Me:—
My father, it was stated, had had his reason
eo far impaired as to require seclusion in an asy
luin for the insane., which was no doubt to be ao
coniated for from my conduct and its abcompe,ny
ing circumstances. This was quite possible I
make no doubt; for the behavior of his whole
previous life had been such as to indicate a con
stitutional tendency to mental disorder—which,
probably, by the way, you may think I have in
herited from him. But a striking particular was,
that the whole business was in the uncontrolled
hands of Mr. Ormond, into which also the pro
ceeds were flowing.
It was curious to hoar the opinions of people
that knew us. My father's madness was admit
ted on all hands, as also my own ; indeed, I was
given to understand that my proceedings had
given considerablo bias to the opinions of the
do - ctors whose certificates had authorized his con
finement. We wore a pitied family, and Mr. Or
mond met with every commendation for his
steadiness, rectitude, and business activity. I
was also informed that ho had at ono time ex
preesed his intention of having me too subjected
to judicial inspection and if possible, despatch
ed to the same quarters.
All this,—moroover, that my father was in a
very dangerous state,
and not expected to sur
vive,—was told me by the keeper of a whisky
cellar, from whom I hail been in the habit of
getting my small daily supplies, and whrse house
was of course the first place I sought on being
set at large.
On leaving this I set off homeward, if the hole
I harbored in could be called by such a nein.
As I went I reflected on, and was amazed at the
singular run of luck that has blessed this most
consummate scoundrel Ormond, who had thus in
few months found his way to fortune over the
necks of his benefactors. With my mind filled
with working thoughts I slunk along through
lanes and alleys, towards the place where I had
left Ellen on the day of my imprisonment. "As I
draw near the place I began to conjacbare, to
hope, to be anxious, to dread. What was I
to expect—joy at my return, pity for my mis
fortunes, upbraiding for my misconduct?—or
could anything have happened to her in my
absence?
I entered the house. She was not there l I
enquired when she would be: a loud laugh was
the reply; and when it ceased, I was told she
had gone to stay with a gentleman. A gentle
man I I staggered back as if I had been struck
on the head, while my heart whispered the name
—Ormond, but my tongue was silent. I could
not speak ; I turned round and left the place.
It was getting late in the evening, and almost
unconsciously I took my way towards his house.
On my arrival there I found a haekney-carriage
drawn up opposite the door. Presently out they
