Kenilworthsay, every drop of water that went past his own mill. I haveknown him deal with such measures of wine when he wasalone, as I would not have ventured on with aid of the besttoper in Berkshire;—that, and some sway towards superstition,which he had by temperament, rendered him unworthythe company of a good fellow. And now he has earthed himselfhere, in a den just befitting such a sly fox as himself.”“May I ask you, Master Lambourne,” said Tressilian, “sinceyour old companion’s humour jumps so little with your own,wherefore you are so desirous to renew acquaintance withhim?”“And may I ask you, in return, Master Tressilian,” answeredLambourne, “wherefore you have shown yourself so desirousto accompany me on this party?”“I told you my motive,” said Tressilian, “when I took sharein your wager—it was simple curiosity.”“La you there now!” answered Lambourne. “See how youcivil and discreet gentlemen think to use us who live by thefree exercise of our wits! Had I answered your question bysaying that it was simple curiosity which led me to visit myold comrade Anthony Foster, I warrant you had set it downfor an evasion, and a turn of my trade. But any answer, Isuppose, must serve my turn.”“And wherefore should not bare curiosity,” said Tressilian,“be a sufficient reason for my taking this walk with you?”“Oh, content yourself, sir,” replied Lambourne; “you cannotput the change on me so easy as you think, for I havelived among the quick-stirring spirits of the age too long toswallow chaff for grain. You are a gentleman of birth andbreeding—your bearing makes it good; of civil habits andfair reputation—your manners declare it, and my uncleavouches it; and yet you associate yourself with a sort of scantof-grace,as men call me, and, knowing me to be such, youmake yourself my companion in a visit to a man whom youare a stranger to—and all out of mere curiosity, forsooth! Theexcuse, if curiously balanced, would be found to want somescruples of just weight, or so.”“If your suspicions were just,” said Tressilian, “you haveshown no confidence in me to invite or deserve mine.”“Oh, if that be all,” said Lambourne, “my motives lie abovewater. While this gold of mine lasts”—taking out his purse,chucking it into the air, and catching it as it fell—”I will make36
Sir Walter Scottit buy pleasure; and when it is out I must have more. Now, ifthis mysterious Lady of the Manor—this fair Lindabrides ofTony Fire-the-Fagot—be so admirable a piece as men say,why, there is a chance that she may aid me to melt my noblesinto greats; and, again, if Anthony be so wealthy a chuff asreport speaks him, he may prove the philosopher’s stone tome, and convert my greats into fair rose-nobles again.”“A comfortable proposal truly,” said Tressilian; “but I seenot what chance there is of accomplishing it.”“Not to-day, or perchance to-morrow,” answeredLambourne; “I expect not to catch the old jack till. I havedisposed my ground-baits handsomely. But I know somethingmore of his affairs this morning than I did last night,and I will so use my knowledge that he shall think it moreperfect than it is. Nay, without expecting either pleasure orprofit, or both, I had not stepped a stride within this manor,I can tell you; for I promise you I hold our visit not altogetherwithout risk.—But here we are, and we must makethe best on’t.”While he thus spoke, they had entered a large orchard whichsurrounded the house on two sides, though the trees, abandonedby the care of man, were overgrown and messy, andseemed to bear little fruit. Those which had been formerlytrained as espaliers had now resumed their natural mode ofgrowing, and exhibited grotesque forms, partaking of the originaltraining which they had received. The greater part of theground, which had once been parterres and flower-gardens,was suffered in like manner to run to waste, excepting a fewpatches which had been dug up and planted with ordinarypot herbs. Some statues, which had ornamented the gardenin its days of splendour, were now thrown down from theirpedestals and broken in pieces; and a large summer-house,having a heavy stone front, decorated with carving representingthe life and actions of Samson, was in the same dilapidatedcondition.They had just traversed this garden of the sluggard, andwere within a few steps of the door of the mansion, whenLambourne had ceased speaking; a circumstance very agreeableto Tressilian, as it saved him the embarrassment of eithercommenting upon or replying to the frank avowal which hiscompanion had just made of the sentiments and views whichinduced him to come hither. Lambourne knocked roundly37
