CHAPTER II.<br>The Mail
|
|
30
|
-
</h2>
|
|
31
|
-
<p class="pfirst"><span class="dropcap" style="font-size: 4.00em">I</span>t was the Dover road that lay, on a Friday
|
|
32
|
-
night late in November, before
|
|
33
|
-
the first of the persons with whom this history has business. The Dover
|
|
34
|
-
road lay, as to him, beyond the Dover mail, as it lumbered up Shooter’s
|
|
35
|
-
Hill. He walked up hill in the mire by the side of the mail, as the rest
|
|
36
|
-
of the passengers did; not because they had the least relish for walking
|
|
37
|
-
exercise, under the circumstances, but because the hill, and the harness,
|
|
38
|
-
and the mud, and the mail, were all so heavy, that the horses had three
|
|
39
|
-
times already come to a stop, besides once drawing the coach across the
|
|
40
|
-
road, with the mutinous intent of taking it back to Blackheath. Reins and
|
|
41
|
-
whip and coachman and guard, however, in combination, had read that
|
|
42
|
-
article of war which forbade a purpose otherwise strongly in favour of the
|
|
43
|
-
argument, that some brute animals are endued with Reason; and the team had
|
|
44
|
-
capitulated and returned to their duty.
|
|
45
|
-
</p>
|
|
46
|
-
<p>
|
|
47
|
-
With drooping heads and tremulous tails, they mashed their way through the
|
|
48
|
-
thick mud, floundering and stumbling between whiles, as if they were
|
|
49
|
-
falling to pieces at the larger joints. As often as the driver rested them
|
|
50
|
-
and brought them to a stand, with a wary “Wo-ho! so-ho-then!” the near
|
|
51
|
-
leader violently shook his head and everything upon it—like an
|
|
52
|
-
unusually emphatic horse, denying that the coach could be got up the hill.
|
|
53
|
-
Whenever the leader made this rattle, the passenger started, as a nervous
|
|
54
|
-
passenger might, and was disturbed in mind.
|
|
55
|
-
</p>
|
|
56
|
-
<p>
|
|
57
|
-
There was a steaming mist in all the hollows, and it had roamed in its
|
|
58
|
-
forlornness up the hill, like an evil spirit, seeking rest and finding
|
|
59
|
-
none. A clammy and intensely cold mist, it made its slow way through the
|
|
60
|
-
air in ripples that visibly followed and overspread one another, as the
|
|
61
|
-
waves of an unwholesome sea might do. It was dense enough to shut out
|
|
62
|
-
everything from the light of the coach-lamps but these its own workings,
|
|
63
|
-
and a few yards of road; and the reek of the labouring horses steamed into
|
|
64
|
-
it, as if they had made it all.
|
|
65
|
-
</p>
|
|
66
|
-
<p>
|
|
67
|
-
Two other passengers, besides the one, were plodding up the hill by the
|
|
68
|
-
side of the mail. All three were wrapped to the cheekbones and over the
|
|
69
|
-
ears, and wore jack-boots. Not one of the three could have said, from
|
|
70
|
-
anything he saw, what either of the other two was like; and each was
|
|
71
|
-
hidden under almost as many wrappers from the eyes of the mind, as from
|
|
72
|
-
the eyes of the body, of his two companions. In those days, travellers
|
|
73
|
-
were very shy of being confidential on a short notice, for anybody on the
|
|
74
|
-
road might be a robber or in league with robbers. As to the latter, when
|
|
75
|
-
every posting-house and ale-house could produce somebody in “the
|
|
76
|
-
Captain’s” pay, ranging from the landlord to the lowest stable
|
|
77
|
-
non-descript, it was the likeliest thing upon the cards. So the guard of
|
|
78
|
-
the Dover mail thought to himself, that Friday night in November, one
|
|
79
|
-
thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, lumbering up Shooter’s Hill, as
|
|
80
|
-
he stood on his own particular perch behind the mail, beating his feet,
|
|
81
|
-
and keeping an eye and a hand on the arm-chest before him, where a loaded
|
|
82
|
-
blunderbuss lay at the top of six or eight loaded horse-pistols, deposited
|
|
83
|
-
on a substratum of cutlass.
|
|
84
|
-
</p>
|
|
85
|
-
<p>
|
|
86
|
-
The Dover mail was in its usual genial position that the guard suspected
|
|
87
|
-
the passengers, the passengers suspected one another and the guard, they
|
|
88
|
-
all suspected everybody else, and the coachman was sure of nothing but the
|
|
89
|
-
horses; as to which cattle he could with a clear conscience have taken his
|
|
90
|
-
oath on the two Testaments that they were not fit for the journey.
|
|
91
|
-
</p>
|
|
92
|
-
<p>
|
|
93
|
-
“Wo-ho!” said the coachman. “So, then! One more pull and you’re at the top
|
|
94
|
-
and be damned to you, for I have had trouble enough to get you to it!—Joe!”
|
|
95
|
-
</p>
|
|
96
|
-
<p>
|
|
97
|
-
“Halloa!” the guard replied.
|
|
98
|
-
</p>
|
|
99
|
-
<p>
|
|
100
|
-
“What o’clock do you make it, Joe?”
|
|
101
|
-
</p>
|
|
102
|
-
<p>
|
|
103
|
-
“Ten minutes, good, past eleven.”
|
|
104
|
-
</p>
|
|
105
|
-
<p>
|
|
106
|
-
“My blood!” ejaculated the vexed coachman, “and not atop of Shooter’s yet!
|
|
107
|
-
Tst! Yah! Get on with you!”
|
|
108
|
-
</p>
|
|
109
|
-
<p>
|
|
110
|
-
The emphatic horse, cut short by the whip in a most decided negative, made
|
|
111
|
-
a decided scramble for it, and the three other horses followed suit. Once
|
|
112
|
-
more, the Dover mail struggled on, with the jack-boots of its passengers
|
|
113
|
-
squashing along by its side. They had stopped when the coach stopped, and
|
|
114
|
-
they kept close company with it. If any one of the three had had the
|
|
115
|
-
hardihood to propose to another to walk on a little ahead into the mist
|
|
116
|
-
and darkness, he would have put himself in a fair way of getting shot
|
|
117
|
-
instantly as a highwayman.
|
|
118
|
-
</p>
|
|
119
|
-
<p>
|
|
120
|
-
The last burst carried the mail to the summit of the hill. The horses
|
|
121
|
-
stopped to breathe again, and the guard got down to skid the wheel for the
|
|
122
|
-
descent, and open the coach-door to let the passengers in.
|
|
123
|
-
</p>
|
|
124
|
-
<p>
|
|
125
|
-
“Tst! Joe!” cried the coachman in a warning voice, looking down from his
|
|
126
|
-
box.
|
|
127
|
-
</p>
|
|
128
|
-
<p>
|
|
129
|
-
“What do you say, Tom?”
|
|
130
|
-
</p>
|
|
131
|
-
<p>
|
|
132
|
-
They both listened.
|
|
133
|
-
</p>
|
|
134
|
-
<p>
|
|
135
|
-
“I say a horse at a canter coming up, Joe.”
|
|
136
|
-
</p>
|
|
137
|
-
<p>
|
|
138
|
-
“<i>I</i> say a horse at a gallop, Tom,” returned the guard, leaving his
|
|
139
|
-
hold of the door, and mounting nimbly to his place. “Gentlemen! In the
|
|
140
|
-
king’s name, all of you!”
|
|
141
|
-
</p>
|
|
142
|
-
<p>
|
|
143
|
-
With this hurried adjuration, he cocked his blunderbuss, and stood on the
|
|
144
|
-
offensive.
|
|
145
|
-
</p>
|
|
146
|
-
<p>
|
|
147
|
-
The passenger booked by this history, was on the coach-step, getting in;
|
|
148
|
-
the two other passengers were close behind him, and about to follow. He
|
|
149
|
-
remained on the step, half in the coach and half out of; they remained in
|
|
150
|
-
the road below him. They all looked from the coachman to the guard, and
|
|
151
|
-
from the guard to the coachman, and listened. The coachman looked back and
|
|
152
|
-
the guard looked back, and even the emphatic leader pricked up his ears
|
|
153
|
-
and looked back, without contradicting.
|
|
154
|
-
</p>
|
|
155
|
-
<p>
|
|
156
|
-
The stillness consequent on the cessation of the rumbling and labouring of
|
|
157
|
-
the coach, added to the stillness of the night, made it very quiet indeed.
|
|
158
|
-
The panting of the horses communicated a tremulous motion to the coach, as
|
|
159
|
-
if it were in a state of agitation. The hearts of the passengers beat loud
|
|
160
|
-
enough perhaps to be heard; but at any rate, the quiet pause was audibly
|
|
161
|
-
expressive of people out of breath, and holding the breath, and having the
|
|
162
|
-
pulses quickened by expectation.
|
|
163
|
-
</p>
|
|
164
|
-
<p>
|
|
165
|
-
The sound of a horse at a gallop came fast and furiously up the hill.
|
|
166
|
-
</p>
|
|
167
|
-
<p>
|
|
168
|
-
“So-ho!” the guard sang out, as loud as he could roar. “Yo there! Stand! I
|
|
169
|
-
shall fire!”
|
|
170
|
-
</p>
|
|
171
|
-
<p>
|
|
172
|
-
The pace was suddenly checked, and, with much splashing and floundering, a
|
|
173
|
-
man’s voice called from the mist, “Is that the Dover mail?”
|
|
174
|
-
</p>
|
|
175
|
-
<p>
|
|
176
|
-
“Never you mind what it is!” the guard retorted. “What are you?”
|
|
177
|
-
</p>
|
|
178
|
-
<p>
|
|
179
|
-
“<i>Is</i> that the Dover mail?”
|
|
180
|
-
</p>
|
|
181
|
-
<p>
|
|
182
|
-
“Why do you want to know?”
|
|
183
|
-
</p>
|
|
184
|
-
<p>
|
|
185
|
-
“I want a passenger, if it is.”
|
|
186
|
-
</p>
|
|
187
|
-
<p>
|
|
188
|
-
“What passenger?”
|
|
189
|
-
</p>
|
|
190
|
-
<p>
|
|
191
|
-
“Mr. Jarvis Lorry.”
|
|
192
|
-
</p>
|
|
193
|
-
<p>
|
|
194
|
-
Our booked passenger showed in a moment that it was his name. The guard,
|
|
195
|
-
the coachman, and the two other passengers eyed him distrustfully.
|
|
196
|
-
</p>
|
|
197
|
-
<p>
|
|
198
|
-
“Keep where you are,” the guard called to the voice in the mist, “because,
|
|
199
|
-
if I should make a mistake, it could never be set right in your lifetime.
|
|
200
|
-
Gentleman of the name of Lorry answer straight.”
|
|
201
|
-
</p>
|
|
202
|
-
<p>
|
|
203
|
-
“What is the matter?” asked the passenger, then, with mildly quavering
|
|
204
|
-
speech. “Who wants me? Is it Jerry?”
|
|
205
|
-
</p>
|
|
206
|
-
<p>
|
|
207
|
-
(“I don’t like Jerry’s voice, if it is Jerry,” growled the guard to
|
|
208
|
-
himself. “He’s hoarser than suits me, is Jerry.”)
|
|
209
|
-
</p>
|
|
210
|
-
<p>
|
|
211
|
-
“Yes, Mr. Lorry.”
|
|
212
|
-
</p>
|
|
213
|
-
<p>
|
|
214
|
-
“What is the matter?”
|
|
215
|
-
</p>
|
|
216
|
-
<p>
|
|
217
|
-
“A despatch sent after you from over yonder. T. and Co.”
|
|
218
|
-
</p>
|
|
219
|
-
<p>
|
|
220
|
-
“I know this messenger, guard,” said Mr. Lorry, getting down into the road—assisted
|
|
221
|
-
from behind more swiftly than politely by the other two passengers, who
|
|
222
|
-
immediately scrambled into the coach, shut the door, and pulled up the
|
|
223
|
-
window. “He may come close; there’s nothing wrong.”
|
|
224
|
-
</p>
|
|
225
|
-
<p>
|
|
226
|
-
“I hope there ain’t, but I can’t make so ’Nation sure of that,” said the
|
|
227
|
-
guard, in gruff soliloquy. “Hallo you!”
|
|
228
|
-
</p>
|
|
229
|
-
<p>
|
|
230
|
-
“Well! And hallo you!” said Jerry, more hoarsely than before.

|
242
|
-
saddle o’ yourn, don’t let me see your hand go nigh ’em. For I’m a devil
|
|
243
|
-
at a quick mistake, and when I make one it takes the form of Lead. So now
|
|
244
|
-
let’s look at you.”

|
245
|

</p>
|
|
246

<p>
|
|
247
|

The figures of a horse and rider came slowly through the eddying mist, and
|
|
248
|
-
came to the side of the mail, where the passenger stood. The rider
|
|
249
|
-
stooped, and, casting up his eyes at the guard, handed the passenger a
|
|
250
|
-
small folded paper. The rider’s horse was blown, and both horse and rider
|
|
251
|
-
were covered with mud, from the hoofs of the horse to the hat of the man.
|
|
252
|
-
</p>
|
|
253
|
-
<p>
|
|
254
|
-
“Guard!” said the passenger, in a tone of quiet business confidence.
|
|
255
|
-
</p>
|
|
256
|
-
<p>
|
|
257
|
-
The watchful guard, with his right hand at the stock of his raised
|
|
258
|
-
blunderbuss, his left at the barrel, and his eye on the horseman, answered
|
|
259
|
-
curtly, “Sir.”
|
|
260
|
-
</p>
|
|
261
|
-
<p>
|
|
262
|
-
“There is nothing to apprehend. I belong to Tellson’s Bank. You must know
|
|
263
|
-
Tellson’s Bank in London. I am going to Paris on business. A crown to
|
|
264
|
-
drink. I may read this?”
|
|
265
|
-
</p>
|
|
266
|
-
<p>
|
|
267
|
-
“If so be as you’re quick, sir.”
|
|
268
|
-
</p>
|
|
269
|
-
<p>
|
|
270
|
-
He opened it in the light of the coach-lamp on that side, and read—first
|
|
271
|
-
to himself and then aloud: “‘Wait at Dover for Mam’selle.’ It’s not long,
|
|
272
|
-
you see, guard. Jerry, say that my answer was, <i>Recalled to life</i>.”
|
|
273
|
-
</p>
|
|
274
|
-
<p>
|
|
275
|
-
Jerry started in his saddle. “That’s a Blazing strange answer, too,” said
|
|
276
|
-
he, at his hoarsest.
|
|
277
|
-
</p>
|
|
278
|
-
<p>
|
|
279
|
-
“Take that message back, and they will know that I received this, as well
|
|
280
|
-
as if I wrote. Make the best of your way. Good night.”
|
|
281
|
-
</p>
|
|
282
|
-
<p>
|
|
283
|
-
With those words the passenger opened the coach-door and got in; not at
|
|
284
|
-
all assisted by his fellow-passengers, who had expeditiously secreted
|
|
285
|
-
their watches and purses in their boots, and were now making a general
|
|
286
|
-
pretence of being asleep. With no more definite purpose than to escape the
|
|
287
|
-
hazard of originating any other kind of action.
|
|
288
|
-
</p>
|
|
289
|
-
<p>
|
|
290
|
-
The coach lumbered on again, with heavier wreaths of mist closing round it
|
|
291
|
-
as it began the descent. The guard soon replaced his blunderbuss in his
|
|
292
|
-
arm-chest, and, having looked to the rest of its contents, and having
|
|
293
|
-
looked to the supplementary pistols that he wore in his belt, looked to a
|
|
294
|
-
smaller chest beneath his seat, in which there were a few smith’s tools, a
|
|
295
|
-
couple of torches, and a tinder-box. For he was furnished with that
|
|
296
|
-
completeness that if the coach-lamps had been blown and stormed out, which
|
|
297
|
-
did occasionally happen, he had only to shut himself up inside, keep the
|
|
298
|
-
flint and steel sparks well off the straw, and get a light with tolerable
|
|
299
|
-
safety and ease (if he were lucky) in five minutes.
|
|
300
|
-
</p>
|
|
301
|
-
<p>
|
|
302
|
-
“Tom!” softly over the coach roof.
|
|
303
|
-
</p>
|
|
304
|
-
<p>
|
|
305
|
-
“Hallo, Joe.”
|
|
306
|
-
</p>
|
|
307
|
-
<p>
|
|
308
|
-
“Did you hear the message?”
|
|
309
|
-
</p>
|
|
310
|
-
<p>
|
|
311
|
-
“I did, Joe.”
|
|
312
|
-
</p>
|
|
313
|
-
<p>
|
|
314
|
-
“What did you make of it, Tom?”
|
|
315
|
-
</p>
|
|
316
|
-
<p>
|
|
317
|
-
“Nothing at all, Joe.”
|
|
318
|
-
</p>
|
|
319
|
-
<p>
|
|
320
|
-
“That’s a coincidence, too,” the guard mused, “for I made the same of it
|
|
321
|
-
myself.”
|
|
322
|
-
</p>
|
|
323
|
-
<p>
|
|
324
|
-
Jerry, left alone in the mist and darkness, dismounted meanwhile, not only
|
|
325
|
-
to ease his spent horse, but to wipe the mud from his face, and shake the
|
|
326
|
-
wet out of his hat-brim, which might be capable of holding about half a
|
|
327
|
-
gallon. After standing with the bridle over his heavily-splashed arm,
|
|
328
|
-
until the wheels of the mail were no longer within hearing and the night
|
|
329
|
-
was quite still again, he turned to walk down the hill.
|
|
330
|
-
</p>
|
|
331
|
-
<p>
|
|
332
|
-
“After that there gallop from Temple Bar, old lady, I won’t trust your
|
|
333
|
-
fore-legs till I get you on the level,” said this hoarse messenger,
|
|
334
|
-
glancing at his mare. “‘Recalled to life.’ That’s a Blazing strange
|
|
335
|
-
message. Much of that wouldn’t do for you, Jerry! I say, Jerry! You’d be
|
|
336
|
-
in a Blazing bad way, if recalling to life was to come into fashion,
|
|
337
|
-
Jerry!”

CHAPTER II.<br>The Mail
|
|
30
|
+
</h2>
|
|
31
|
+
<p class="pfirst"><span class="dropcap" style="font-size: 4.00em">I</span>t was the Dover road that lay, on a Friday
|
|
32
|
+
night late in November, before
|
|
33
|
+
the first of the persons with whom this history has business. The Dover
|
|
34
|
+
road lay, as to him, beyond the Dover mail, as it lumbered up Shooter’s
|
|
35
|
+
Hill. He walked up hill in the mire by the side of the mail, as the rest
|
|
36
|
+
of the passengers did; not because they had the least relish for walking
|
|
37
|
+
exercise, under the circumstances, but because the hill, and the harness,
|
|
38
|
+
and the mud, and the mail, were all so heavy, that the horses had three
|
|
39
|
+
times already come to a stop, besides once drawing the coach across the
|
|
40
|
+
road, with the mutinous intent of taking it back to Blackheath. Reins and
|
|
41
|
+
whip and coachman and guard, however, in combination, had read that
|
|
42
|
+
article of war which forbade a purpose otherwise strongly in favour of the
|
|
43
|
+
argument, that some brute animals are endued with Reason; and the team had
|
|
44
|
+
capitulated and returned to their duty.
|
|
45
|
+
</p>
|
|
46
|
+
<p>
|
|
47
|
+
With drooping heads and tremulous tails, they mashed their way through the
|
|
48
|
+
thick mud, floundering and stumbling between whiles, as if they were
|
|
49
|
+
falling to pieces at the larger joints. As often as the driver rested them
|
|
50
|
+
and brought them to a stand, with a wary “Wo-ho! so-ho-then!” the near
|
|
51
|
+
leader violently shook his head and everything upon it—like an
|
|
52
|
+
unusually emphatic horse, denying that the coach could be got up the hill.
|
|
53
|
+
Whenever the leader made this rattle, the passenger started, as a nervous
|
|
54
|
+
passenger might, and was disturbed in mind.
|
|
55
|
+
</p>
|
|
56
|
+
<p>
|
|
57
|
+
There was a steaming mist in all the hollows, and it had roamed in its
|
|
58
|
+
forlornness up the hill, like an evil spirit, seeking rest and finding
|
|
59
|
+
none. A clammy and intensely cold mist, it made its slow way through the
|
|
60
|
+
air in ripples that visibly followed and overspread one another, as the
|
|
61
|
+
waves of an unwholesome sea might do. It was dense enough to shut out
|
|
62
|
+
everything from the light of the coach-lamps but these its own workings,
|
|
63
|
+
and a few yards of road; and the reek of the labouring horses steamed into
|
|
64
|
+
it, as if they had made it all.
|
|
65
|
+
</p>
|
|
66
|
+
<p>
|
|
67
|
+
Two other passengers, besides the one, were plodding up the hill by the
|
|
68
|
+
side of the mail. All three were wrapped to the cheekbones and over the
|
|
69
|
+
ears, and wore jack-boots. Not one of the three could have said, from
|
|
70
|
+
anything he saw, what either of the other two was like; and each was
|
|
71
|
+
hidden under almost as many wrappers from the eyes of the mind, as from
|
|
72
|
+
the eyes of the body, of his two companions. In those days, travellers
|
|
73
|
+
were very shy of being confidential on a short notice, for anybody on the
|
|
74
|
+
road might be a robber or in league with robbers. As to the latter, when
|
|
75
|
+
every posting-house and ale-house could produce somebody in “the
|
|
76
|
+
Captain’s” pay, ranging from the landlord to the lowest stable
|
|
77
|
+
non-descript, it was the likeliest thing upon the cards. So the guard of
|
|
78
|
+
the Dover mail thought to himself, that Friday night in November, one
|
|
79
|
+
thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, lumbering up Shooter’s Hill, as
|
|
80
|
+
he stood on his own particular perch behind the mail, beating his feet,
|
|
81
|
+
and keeping an eye and a hand on the arm-chest before him, where a loaded
|
|
82
|
+
blunderbuss lay at the top of six or eight loaded horse-pistols, deposited
|
|
83
|
+
on a substratum of cutlass.
|
|
84
|
+
</p>
|
|
85
|
+
<p>
|
|
86
|
+
The Dover mail was in its usual genial position that the guard suspected
|
|
87
|
+
the passengers, the passengers suspected one another and the guard, they
|
|
88
|
+
all suspected everybody else, and the coachman was sure of nothing but the
|
|
89
|
+
horses; as to which cattle he could with a clear conscience have taken his
|
|
90
|
+
oath on the two Testaments that they were not fit for the journey.
|
|
91
|
+
</p>
|
|
92
|
+
<p>
|
|
93
|
+
“Wo-ho!” said the coachman. “So, then! One more pull and you’re at the top
|
|
94
|
+
and be damned to you, for I have had trouble enough to get you to it!—Joe!”
|
|
95
|
+
</p>
|
|
96
|
+
<p>
|
|
97
|
+
“Halloa!” the guard replied.
|
|
98
|
+
</p>
|
|
99
|
+
<p>
|
|
100
|
+
“What o’clock do you make it, Joe?”
|
|
101
|
+
</p>
|
|
102
|
+
<p>
|
|
103
|
+
“Ten minutes, good, past eleven.”
|
|
104
|
+
</p>
|
|
105
|
+
<p>
|
|
106
|
+
“My blood!” ejaculated the vexed coachman, “and not atop of Shooter’s yet!
|
|
107
|
+
Tst! Yah! Get on with you!”
|
|
108
|
+
</p>
|
|
109
|
+
<p>
|
|
110
|
+
The emphatic horse, cut short by the whip in a most decided negative, made
|
|
111
|
+
a decided scramble for it, and the three other horses followed suit. Once
|
|
112
|
+
more, the Dover mail struggled on, with the jack-boots of its passengers
|
|
113
|
+
squashing along by its side. They had stopped when the coach stopped, and
|
|
114
|
+
they kept close company with it. If any one of the three had had the
|
|
115
|
+
hardihood to propose to another to walk on a little ahead into the mist
|
|
116
|
+
and darkness, he would have put himself in a fair way of getting shot
|
|
117
|
+
instantly as a highwayman.
|
|
118
|
+
</p>
|
|
119
|
+
<p>
|
|
120
|
+
The last burst carried the mail to the summit of the hill. The horses
|
|
121
|
+
stopped to breathe again, and the guard got down to skid the wheel for the
|
|
122
|
+
descent, and open the coach-door to let the passengers in.
|
|
123
|
+
</p>
|
|
124
|
+
<p>
|
|
125
|
+
“Tst! Joe!” cried the coachman in a warning voice, looking down from his
|
|
126
|
+
box.
|
|
127
|
+
</p>
|
|
128
|
+
<p>
|
|
129
|
+
“What do you say, Tom?”
|
|
130
|
+
</p>
|
|
131
|
+
<p>
|
|
132
|
+
They both listened.
|
|
133
|
+
</p>
|
|
134
|
+
<p>
|
|
135
|
+
“I say a horse at a canter coming up, Joe.”
|
|
136
|
+
</p>
|
|
137
|
+
<p>
|
|
138
|
+
“<i>I</i> say a horse at a gallop, Tom,” returned the guard, leaving his
|
|
139
|
+
hold of the door, and mounting nimbly to his place. “Gentlemen! In the
|
|
140
|
+
king’s name, all of you!”
|
|
141
|
+
</p>
|
|
142
|
+
<p>
|
|
143
|
+
With this hurried adjuration, he cocked his blunderbuss, and stood on the
|
|
144
|
+
offensive.
|
|
145
|
+
</p>
|
|
146
|
+
<p>
|
|
147
|
+
The passenger booked by this history, was on the coach-step, getting in;
|
|
148
|
+
the two other passengers were close behind him, and about to follow. He
|
|
149
|
+
remained on the step, half in the coach and half out of; they remained in
|
|
150
|
+
the road below him. They all looked from the coachman to the guard, and
|
|
151
|
+
from the guard to the coachman, and listened. The coachman looked back and
|
|
152
|
+
the guard looked back, and even the emphatic leader pricked up his ears
|
|
153
|
+
and looked back, without contradicting.
|
|
154

156
|

The stillness consequent on the cessation of the rumbling and labouring of
|
|
157
|
+
the coach, added to the stillness of the night, made it very quiet indeed.
|
|
158
|
+
The panting of the horses communicated a tremulous motion to the coach, as
|
|
159
|
+
if it were in a state of agitation. The hearts of the passengers beat loud
|
|
160
|
+
enough perhaps to be heard; but at any rate, the quiet pause was audibly
|
|
161
|
+
expressive of people out of breath, and holding the breath, and having the
|
|
162
|
+
pulses quickened by expectation.
|
|
163
|
+
</p>
|
|
164
|
+
<p>
|
|
165
|
+
The sound of a horse at a gallop came fast and furiously up the hill.
|
|
166
|
+
</p>
|
|
167
|
+
<p>
|
|
168
|
+
“So-ho!” the guard sang out, as loud as he could roar. “Yo there! Stand! I
|
|
169
|
+
shall fire!”
|
|
170
|
+
</p>
|
|
171
|
+
<p>
|
|
172
|
+
The pace was suddenly checked, and, with much splashing and floundering, a
|
|
173
|
+
man’s voice called from the mist, “Is that the Dover mail?”
|
|
174
|
+
</p>
|
|
175
|
+
<p>
|
|
176
|
+
“Never you mind what it is!” the guard retorted. “What are you?”
|
|
177
|
+
</p>
|
|
178
|
+
<p>
|
|
179
|
+
“<i>Is</i> that the Dover mail?”
|
|
180
|
+
</p>
|
|
181
|
+
<p>
|
|
182
|
+
“Why do you want to know?”
|
|
183
|
+
</p>
|
|
184
|
+
<p>
|
|
185
|
+
“I want a passenger, if it is.”
|
|
186
|
+
</p>
|
|
187
|
+
<p>
|
|
188
|
+
“What passenger?”
|
|
189
|
+
</p>
|
|
190
|
+
<p>
|
|
191
|
+
“Mr. Jarvis Lorry.”
|
|
192
|
+
</p>
|
|
193
|
+
<p>
|
|
194
|
+
Our booked passenger showed in a moment that it was his name. The guard,
|
|
195
|
+
the coachman, and the two other passengers eyed him distrustfully.
|
|
196
|
+
</p>
|
|
197
|
+
<p>
|
|
198
|
+
“Keep where you are,” the guard called to the voice in the mist, “because,
|
|
199
|
+
if I should make a mistake, it could never be set right in your lifetime.
|
|
200
|
+
Gentleman of the name of Lorry answer straight.”
|
|
201
|
+
</p>
|
|
202
|
+
<p>
|
|
203
|
+
“What is the matter?” asked the passenger, then, with mildly quavering
|
|
204
|
+
speech. “Who wants me? Is it Jerry?”
|
|
205
|
+
</p>
|
|
206
|
+
<p>
|
|
207
|
+
(“I don’t like Jerry’s voice, if it is Jerry,” growled the guard to
|
|
208
|
+
himself. “He’s hoarser than suits me, is Jerry.”)
|
|
209
|
+
</p>
|
|
210
|
+
<p>
|
|
211
|
+
“Yes, Mr. Lorry.”
|
|
212
|
+
</p>
|
|
213
|
+
<p>
|
|
214
|
+
“What is the matter?”
|
|
215
|
+
</p>
|
|
216
|
+
<p>
|
|
217
|
+
“A despatch sent after you from over yonder. T. and Co.”
|
|
218
|
+
</p>
|
|
219
|
+
<p>
|
|
220
|
+
“I know this messenger, guard,” said Mr. Lorry, getting down into the road—assisted
|
|
221
|
+
from behind more swiftly than politely by the other two passengers, who
|
|
222
|
+
immediately scrambled into the coach, shut the door, and pulled up the
|
|
223
|
+
window. “He may come close; there’s nothing wrong.”
|
|
224
|
+
</p>
|
|
225
|
+
<p>
|
|
226
|
+
“I hope there ain’t, but I can’t make so ’Nation sure of that,” said the
|
|
227
|
+
guard, in gruff soliloquy. “Hallo you!”
|
|
228
|
+
</p>
|
|
229
|
+
<p>
|
|
230
|
+
“Well! And hallo you!” said Jerry, more hoarsely than before.

|

242

saddle o’ yourn, don’t let me see your hand go nigh ’em. For I’m a devil
|

243

at a quick mistake, and when I make one it takes the form of Lead. So now

The figures of a horse and rider came slowly through the eddying mist, and
|
|
248
|
+
came to the side of the mail, where the passenger stood. The rider
|
|
249
|
+
stooped, and, casting up his eyes at the guard, handed the passenger a
|
|
250
|
+
small folded paper. The rider’s horse was blown, and both horse and rider
|
|
251
|
+
were covered with mud, from the hoofs of the horse to the hat of the man.
|
|
252
|
+
</p>
|
|
253
|
+
<p>
|
|
254
|
+
“Guard!” said the passenger, in a tone of quiet business confidence.
|
|
255
|
+
</p>
|
|
256
|
+
<p>
|
|
257
|
+
The watchful guard, with his right hand at the stock of his raised
|
|
258
|
+
blunderbuss, his left at the barrel, and his eye on the horseman, answered
|
|
259
|
+
curtly, “Sir.”
|
|
260
|
+
</p>
|
|
261
|
+
<p>
|
|
262
|
+
“There is nothing to apprehend. I belong to Tellson’s Bank. You must know
|
|
263
|
+
Tellson’s Bank in London. I am going to Paris on business. A crown to
|
|
264
|
+
drink. I may read this?”
|
|
265
|
+
</p>
|
|
266
|
+
<p>
|
|
267
|
+
“If so be as you’re quick, sir.”
|
|
268
|
+
</p>
|
|
269
|
+
<p>
|
|
270
|
+
He opened it in the light of the coach-lamp on that side, and read—first
|
|
271
|
+
to himself and then aloud: “‘Wait at Dover for Mam’selle.’ It’s not long,
|
|
272
|
+
you see, guard. Jerry, say that my answer was, <i>Recalled to life</i>.”
|
|
273
|
+
</p>
|
|
274
|
+
<p>
|
|
275
|
+
Jerry started in his saddle. “That’s a Blazing strange answer, too,” said
|
|
276
|
+
he, at his hoarsest.
|
|
277
|
+
</p>
|
|
278
|
+
<p>
|
|
279
|
+
“Take that message back, and they will know that I received this, as well
|
|
280
|
+
as if I wrote. Make the best of your way. Good night.”
|
|
281
|
+
</p>
|
|
282
|
+
<p>
|
|
283
|
+
With those words the passenger opened the coach-door and got in; not at
|
|
284
|
+
all assisted by his fellow-passengers, who had expeditiously secreted
|
|
285
|
+
their watches and purses in their boots, and were now making a general
|
|
286
|
+
pretence of being asleep. With no more definite purpose than to escape the
|
|
287
|
+
hazard of originating any other kind of action.
|
|
288
|
+
</p>
|
|
289
|
+
<p>
|
|
290
|
+
The coach lumbered on again, with heavier wreaths of mist closing round it
|
|
291
|
+
as it began the descent. The guard soon replaced his blunderbuss in his
|
|
292
|
+
arm-chest, and, having looked to the rest of its contents, and having
|
|
293
|
+
looked to the supplementary pistols that he wore in his belt, looked to a
|
|
294
|
+
smaller chest beneath his seat, in which there were a few smith’s tools, a
|
|
295
|
+
couple of torches, and a tinder-box. For he was furnished with that
|
|
296
|
+
completeness that if the coach-lamps had been blown and stormed out, which
|
|
297
|
+
did occasionally happen, he had only to shut himself up inside, keep the
|
|
298
|
+
flint and steel sparks well off the straw, and get a light with tolerable
|
|
299
|
+
safety and ease (if he were lucky) in five minutes.
|
|
300
|
+
</p>
|
|
301
|
+
<p>
|
|
302
|
+
“Tom!” softly over the coach roof.
|
|
303
|
+
</p>
|
|
304
|
+
<p>
|
|
305
|
+
“Hallo, Joe.”
|
|
306
|
+
</p>
|
|
307
|
+
<p>
|
|
308
|
+
“Did you hear the message?”
|
|
309
|
+
</p>
|
|
310
|
+
<p>
|
|
311
|
+
“I did, Joe.”
|
|
312
|
+
</p>
|
|
313
|
+
<p>
|
|
314
|
+
“What did you make of it, Tom?”
|
|
315
|
+
</p>
|
|
316
|
+
<p>
|
|
317
|
+
“Nothing at all, Joe.”
|
|
318
|
+
</p>
|
|
319
|
+
<p>
|
|
320
|
+
“That’s a coincidence, too,” the guard mused, “for I made the same of it
|
|
321
|
+
myself.”
|
|
322
|
+
</p>
|
|
323
|
+
<p>
|
|
324
|
+
Jerry, left alone in the mist and darkness, dismounted meanwhile, not only
|
|
325
|
+
to ease his spent horse, but to wipe the mud from his face, and shake the
|
|
326
|
+
wet out of his hat-brim, which might be capable of holding about half a
|
|
327
|
+
gallon. After standing with the bridle over his heavily-splashed arm,
|
|
328
|
+
until the wheels of the mail were no longer within hearing and the night
|
|
329
|
+
was quite still again, he turned to walk down the hill.

330

<p>

332

“After that there gallop from Temple Bar, old lady, I won’t trust your
|
|
333
|
+
fore-legs till I get you on the level,” said this hoarse messenger,
|
|
334
|
+
glancing at his mare. “‘Recalled to life.’ That’s a Blazing strange
|
|
335
|
+
message. Much of that wouldn’t do for you, Jerry! I say, Jerry! You’d be
|
|
336
|
+
in a Blazing bad way, if recalling to life was to come into fashion,
|
|
337
|
+
Jerry!”
