'No, mamma; it came off in the hay-loft, and I can't find it.'

'Papa,' says the lady wife, turning to her lord, who is reading his
newspaper over his coffee--'papa, you really must speak to Charley; he
will not mind me. He was dressed quite nicely an hour ago, and do see
what a figure he has made himself.'

'Charley,' says papa, not quite relishing this disturbance in the midst
of a very interesting badger-baiting--'Charley, my boy, if you don't
mind your P's and Q's, you and I shall fall out; mind that;' and he
again goes on with his sport; and mamma goes on with her teapot, looking
not exactly like Patience on a monument.

Such are the joys which await you, Mr. Charles Tudor; but not to such
have you as yet arrived. As yet there is but the one little pink deity
in the rocking shrine above; but one, at least, of your own. At the
moment of which we are now speaking there were visitors at Surbiton
Cottage, and the new nursery was brought into full use. Mr. and Mrs.
Norman of Normansgrove were there with their two children and two maids,
and grandmamma Woodward had her hands quite full in the family nursery
line.

It was a beautiful summer evening, and the two young mothers were
sitting with Mrs. Woodward and Uncle Bat in the drawing-room, waiting
for their lords' return from London. As usual, when they stayed late,
the two men were to dine at their club and come down to tea. The
nursemaids were walking on the lawn before the window with their
charges, and the three ladies were busily employed with some
fairly-written manuscript pages, which they were cutting carefully into
shape, and arranging in particular form.

'Now, mamma,' said Katie, 'if you laugh once while you are reading it,
you'll spoil it all.'

'I'll do the best I can, my dear, but I'm sure I shall break down; you
have made it so very abusive,' said Mrs. Woodward.

'Mamma, I think I'll take out that about official priggism--hadn't I
better, Linda?'

'Indeed, I think you had; I'm sure mamma would break down there,' said
Linda. 'Mamma, I'm sure you would never get over the official priggism.'

'I don't think I should, my dear,' said Mrs. Woodward.

'What is it you are all concocting?' said Captain Cuttwater; 'some
infernal mischief, I know, craving your pardons.'

'If you tell, Uncle Bat, I'll never forgive you,' said Katie.

'Oh, you may trust me; I never spoil sport, if I can't make any; but the
fun ought to be very good, for you've been a mortal long time about it.'

And then the two younger ladies again went on clipping and arranging
their papers, while Mrs. Woodward renewed her protest that she would do
her best as to reading their production. While they were thus employed
the postman's knock was heard, and a letter was brought in from the
far-away Australian exiles. The period at which these monthly missives
arrived were moments of intense anxiety, and the letter was seized upon
with eager avidity. It was from Gertrude to her mother, as all these
letters were; but in such a production they had a joint property, and it
was hardly possible to say who first mastered its contents.

It will only be necessary here to give some extracts from the letter,
which was by no means a short one. So much must be done in order that
our readers may know something of the fate of those who perhaps may be
called the hero and heroine of the tale. The author does not so call
them; he professes to do his work without any such appendages to his
story--heroism there may be, and he hopes there is--more or less of it
there should be in a true picture of most characters; but heroes and
heroines, as so called, are not commonly met with in our daily walks of
life.

Before Gertrude's letter had been disposed of, Norman and Charley came
in, and it was therefore discussed in full conclave. Alaric's path in
the land of his banishment had not been over roses. The upward struggle
of men, who have fallen from a high place once gained, that second
mounting of the ladder of life, seldom is an easy path. He, and with him
Gertrude and his children, had been called on to pay the full price of
his backsliding. His history had gone with him to the Antipodes; and,
though the knowledge of what he had done was not there so absolute a
clog upon his efforts, so overpowering a burden, as it would have been
in London, still it was a burden and a heavy one.

It had been well for Gertrude that she had prepared herself to give up
all her luxuries by her six months' residence in that Millbank Paradise
of luxuries: for some time she had little enough in the 'good and happy
land,' to which she had taught herself and her children to look forward.
That land of promise had not flowed with milk and honey when first she
put her foot upon its soil; its produce for her had been gall and bitter
herbs for many a weary month after she first landed. But her heart had
never sunk within her. She had never forgotten that he, if he were to
work well, should have at least one cheerful companion by his side. She
had been true to him, then as ever. And yet it is so hard to be true to
high principles in little things. The heroism of the Roman, who, for his
country's sake, leapt his horse into a bottomless gulf, was as nothing
to that of a woman who can keep her temper through poverty, and be
cheerful in adversity.

Through poverty, scorn, and bad repute, under the privations of a hard
life, separated from so many that she had loved, and from everything
that she had liked, Gertrude had still been true to her ideas of her
marriage vow; true, also, to her pure and single love. She had entwined
herself with him in sunny weather; and when the storm came she did her
best to shelter the battered stem to which she had trusted herself.

By degrees things mended with them; and in this letter, which is now
passing from eager hand to hand in Katie's drawing-room, Gertrude spoke
with better hope of their future prospects.

'Thank God, we are once more all well,' she said; 'and Alaric's spirits
are higher than they were. He has, indeed, had much to try them. They
think, I believe, in England, that any kind of work here is sure to
command a high price; of this I am quite sure, that in no employment in
England are people so tasked as they are here. Alaric was four months in
these men's counting-house, and I am sure another four months would have
seen him in his grave. Though I knew not then what other provision might
be made for us, I implored him, almost on my knees, to give up that.
He was expected to be there for ten, sometimes twelve, hours a day; and
they thought he should always be kept going like a steam-engine. You
know Alaric never was afraid of work; but that would have killed him.
And what was it for? What did they give him for that--for all his
talent, all his experience, all his skill? And he did give them all. His
salary was two pounds ten a week! And then, when he told them of all he
was doing for them, they had the baseness to remind him of----. Dearest
mother, is not the world hard? It was that that made me insist that he
should leave them.'

Alaric's present path was by no means over roses. This certainly was a
change from those days on which he had sat, one of a mighty trio, at the
Civil Service Examination Board, striking terror into candidates by
a scratch of his pen, and making happy the desponding heart by his
approving nod. His ambition now was not to sit among the magnates of
Great Britain, and make his voice thunder through the columns of the
_Times_; it ranged somewhat lower at this period, and was confined for
the present to a strong desire to see his wife and bairns sufficiently
fed, and not left absolutely without clothing. He inquired little as to
the feeling of the electors of Strathbogy.

And had he utterly forgotten the stirring motto of his early days? Did
he ever mutter 'Excelsior' to himself, as, with weary steps, he dragged
himself home from that hated counting-house? Ah! he had fatally mistaken
the meaning of the word which he had so often used. There had been the
error of his life. 'Excelsior!' When he took such a watchword for his
use, he should surely have taught himself the meaning of it.

He had now learnt that lesson in a school somewhat of the sternest; but,
as time wore kindly over him, he did teach himself to accept the lesson
with humility. His spirit had been wellnigh broken as he was carried
from that court-house in the Old Bailey to his prison on the river-side;
and a broken spirit, like a broken goblet, can never again become whole.
But Nature was a kind mother to him, and did not permit him to be wholly
crushed. She still left within the plant the germ of life, which enabled
it again to spring up and vivify, though sorely bruised by the heels
of those who had ridden over it. He still repeated to himself the old
watchword, though now in humbler tone and more bated breath; and it may
be presumed that he had now a clearer meaning of its import.

'But his present place,' continued Gertrude, 'is much--very much more
suited to him. He is corresponding clerk in the first bank here, and
though his pay is nearly double what it was at the other place, his
hours of work are not so oppressive. He goes at nine and gets away at
five--that is, except on the arrival or dispatch of the English mails.'
Here was a place of bliss for a man who had been a commissioner,
attending at the office at such hours as best suited himself, and having
clerks at his beck to do all that he listed. And yet, as Gertrude said,
this was a place of bliss to him. It was a heaven as compared with that
other hell.

'Alley is such a noble boy,' said Gertrude, becoming almost joyous as
she spoke of her own immediate cares. 'He is most like Katie, I think,
of us all; and yet he is very like his papa. He goes to a day-school
now, with his books slung over his back in a bag. You never saw such
a proud little fellow as he is, and so manly. Charley is just like
you--oh! so like. It makes me so happy that he is. He did not talk so
early as Alley, but, nevertheless, he is more forward than the other
children I see here. The little monkeys! they are neither of them the
least like me. But one can always see oneself, and it don't matter if
one does not.'

'If ever there was a brick, Gertrude is one,' said Norman.

'A brick!' said Charley--'why you might cut her to pieces, and build
another Kensington palace out of the slices. I believe she is a brick.'

'I wonder whether I shall ever see her again?' said Mrs. Woodward, not
with dry eyes.

'Oh yes, mamma,' said Katie. 'She shall come home to us some day, and we
will endeavour to reward her for it all.'

Dear Katie, who will not love you for such endeavour? But, indeed, the
reward for heroism cometh not here.

There was much more in the letter, but enough has been given for our
purpose. It will be seen that hope yet remained both for Alaric and his
wife; and hope not without a reasonable base. Bad as he had been, it had
not been with him as with Undy Scott. The devil had not contrived to put
his whole claw upon him. He had not divested himself of human affections
and celestial hopes. He had not reduced himself to the present level
of a beast, with the disadvantages of a soul and of an eternity, as
the other man had done. He had not put himself beyond the pale of true
brotherhood with his fellow-men. We would have hanged Undy had the law
permitted us; but now we will say farewell to the other, hoping that he
may yet achieve exaltation of another kind.

And to thee, Gertrude--how shall we say farewell to thee, excluded as
thou art from that dear home, where those who love thee so well are now
so happy? Their only care remaining is now thy absence. Adversity has
tried thee in its crucible, and thou art found to be of virgin gold,
unalloyed; hadst thou still been lapped in prosperity, the true ring of
thy sterling metal would never have been heard. Farewell to thee, and
may those young budding flowerets of thine break forth into golden fruit
to gladden thy heart in coming days!

The reading of Gertrude's letter, and the consequent discussion,
somewhat put off the execution of the little scheme which had been
devised for that evening's amusement; but, nevertheless, it was still
broad daylight when Mrs. Woodward consigned the precious document to
her desk; the drawing-room windows were still open, and the bairns were
still being fondled in the room. It was the first week in July, when
the night almost loses her dominion, and when those hours which she
generally claims as her own, become the pleasantest of the day.

'Oh, Charley,' said Katie, at last, 'we have great news for you, too.
Here is another review on "The World's Last Wonder."'

Now 'The World's Last Wonder' was Charley's third novel; but he was
still sensitive enough on the subject of reviews to look with much
anxiety for what was said of him. These notices were habitually sent
down to him at Hampton, and his custom was to make his wife or her
mother read them, while he sat by in lordly ease in his arm-chair,
receiving homage when homage came to him, and criticizing the critics
when they were uncivil.

'Have you?' said Charley. 'What is it? Why did you not show it me
before?'

'Why, we were talking of dear Gertrude,' said Katie; 'and it is not so
pleasant but that it will keep. What paper do you think it is?'

'What paper? how on earth can I tell?--show it me.'

'No; but do guess, Charley; and then mamma will read it--pray guess
now.'

'Oh, bother, I can't guess. _The Literary Censor_, I suppose--I know
they have turned against me.'

'No, it's not that,' said Linda; 'guess again.'

'_The Guardian Angel_,' said Charley.

'No--that angel has not taken you under his wings as yet,' said Katie.

'I know it's not the _Times_,' said Charley, 'for I have seen that.'

'O no,' said Katie, seriously; 'if it was anything of that sort, we
would not keep you in suspense.'

'Well, I'll be shot if I guess any more--there are such thousands of
them.'

'But there is only one _Daily Delight_,' said Mrs. Woodward.

'Nonsense!' said Charley. 'You don't mean to tell me that my dear old
friend and foster-father has fallen foul of me--my old teacher and
master, if not spiritual pastor; well--well--well! The ingratitude of
the age! I gave him my two beautiful stories, the first-fruits of my
vine, all for love; to think that he should now lay his treacherous axe
to the root of the young tree--well, give it here.'

'No--mamma will read it--we want Harry to hear it.'

'O yes--let Mrs. Woodward read it,' said Harry. 'I trust it is severe.
I know no man who wants a dragging over the coals more peremptorily than
you do.'

'Thankee, sir. Well, grandmamma, go on; but if there be anything very
bad, give me a little notice, for I am nervous.'

And then Mrs. Woodward began to read, Linda sitting with Katie's baby in
her arms, and Katie performing a similar office for her sister.

"'The World's Last Wonder,' by Charles Tudor, Esq."

'He begins with a lie,' said Charley, 'for I never called myself
Esquire.'

'Oh, that was a mistake,' said Katie, forgetting herself.

'Men of that kind shouldn't make such mistakes,' said Charley. 'When one
fellow attempts to cut up another fellow, he ought to take special care
that he does it fairly.'

"By the author of 'Bathos.'"

'I didn't put that in,' said Charley, 'that was the publisher. I only
put Charles Tudor.'

'Don't be so touchy, Charley, and let me go on,' said Mrs. Woodward.

'Well, fire away--it's good fun to you, I dare say, as the fly said to
the spider.'

'Well, Charley, at any rate we are not the spiders,' said Linda. Katie
said nothing, but she could not help feeling that she must look rather
spiderish.

'Mr. Tudor has acquired some little reputation as a humorist, but as is
so often the case with those who make us laugh, his very success will
prove his ruin.'

'Then upon my word the _Daily Delight_ is safe,' said Charley. 'It will
never be ruined in that way.'

'There is an elaborate jocosity about him, a determined eternity of most
industrious fun, which gives us the idea of a boy who is being rewarded
for having duly learnt by rote his daily lesson out of Joe Miller.'

'Now, I'll bet ten to one he has never read the book at all--well, never
mind--go on.'

"'The World's Last Wonder' is the description of a woman who kept a
secret under certain temptations to reveal it, which, as Mr. Tudor
supposes, might have moved any daughter of Eve to break her faith."

'I haven't supposed anything of the kind,' said Charley.

'This secret, which we shall not disclose, as we would not wish to be
thought less trustworthy than Mr. Tudor's wonderful woman--'

'We shall find that he does disclose it, of course; that is the way with
all of them.'

--'Is presumed to permeate the whole three volumes.'

'It is told at full length in the middle of the second,' said Charley.

'And the effect upon the reader of course is, that he has ceased to
interest himself about it, long before it is disclosed to him!

'The lady in question is engaged to be married to a gentleman, a
circumstance which in the pages of a novel is not calculated to attract
much special attention. She is engaged to be married, but the gentleman
who has the honour of being her intended sposo----'

'Intended sposo!' said Charley, expressing by his upturned lip a
withering amount of scorn--'how well I know the fellow's low attempts at
wit! That's the editor himself--that's my literary papa. I know him as
well as though I had seen him at it.'

Katie and Mrs. Woodward exchanged furtive glances, but neither of them
moved a muscle of her face.

'But the gentleman who has the honour of being her intended sposo,'
continued Mrs. Woodward.

'What the devil's a sposo?' said Uncle Bat, who was sitting in an
arm-chair with a handkerchief over his head.

'Why, you're not a sposo, Uncle Bat,' said Linda; 'but Harry is, and so
is Charley.'

'Oh, I see,' said the captain; 'it's a bird with his wings clipped.'

'But the gentleman who has the honour of being her intended sposo----'
again read Mrs. Woodward.

'Now I'm sure I'm speaking by the card,' said Charley, 'when I say that
there is not another man in London who could have written that line, and
who would have used so detestable a word. I think I remember his using
it in one of his lectures to me; indeed I'm sure I do. Sposo! I should
like to tweak his nose oh!'

'Are you going to let me go on?' said Mrs. Woodward--'her intended
sposo'--Charley gave a kick with his foot and satisfied himself with
that--'is determined to have nothing to say to her in the matrimonial
line till she has revealed to him this secret which he thinks concerns
his own honour.'

'There, I knew he'd tell it.'

'He has not told it yet,' said Norman.

'The lady, however, is obdurate, wonderfully so, of course, seeing that
she is the world's last wonder, and so the match is broken off. But
the secret is of such a nature that the lady's invincible objection to
revealing it is bound up with the fact of her being a promised bride.'

'I wonder he didn't say sposa,' said Charley.

'I never thought of that,' said Katie.

Mrs. Woodward and Linda looked at her, but Charley did not, and her
blunder passed by unnoticed.

'Now that she is free from her matrimonial bonds, she is free also to
tell the secret; and indeed the welfare both of the gentleman and of the
lady imperiously demands that it should be told. Should he marry her, he
is destined to learn it after his marriage; should he not marry her, he
may hear it at any time. She sends for him and tells him, not the first
of these facts, by doing which all difficulty would have at once been
put an end to--'

'It is quite clear he has never read the story, quite clear,' said
Charley.

'She tells him only the last, viz., that as they are now strangers he
may know the secret; but that when once known it will raise a barrier
between them that no years, no penance, no sorrow on his part, no
tenderness on hers, can ever break down. She then asks him--will he hear
the secret?'

'She does not ask any such thing,' said Charley; 'the letter that
contains it has been already sent to him. She merely gives him an
opportunity of returning it unopened.'

'The gentleman, who is not without a grain of obstinacy in his own
composition and many grains of curiosity, declares it to be impossible
that he can go to the altar in ignorance of facts which he is bound
to know, and the lady, who seems to be of an affectionate disposition,
falls in tenderness at his feet. She is indeed in a very winning mood,
and quite inclined to use every means allowable to a lady for retaining
her lover; every means that is short of that specially feminine one of
telling her secret.

'We will give an extract from this love scene, partly for the sake of
its grotesque absurdity--'

Charley kicked out another foot, as though he thought that the editor of
the _Daily Delight_ might perhaps be within reach.

'--And partly because it gives a fair example of the manner in which
Mr. Tudor endeavours to be droll even in the midst of his most tender
passages.

'Leonora was at this time seated--'

'Oh, skip the extract,' said Charley; 'I suppose there are three or four
pages of it?'

'It goes down to where Leonora says that his fate and her own are in his
hands.'

'Yes, about three columns,' said Charley; 'that's an easy way of making
an article--eh, Harry?'

'_Aliter non fit, amice, liber_,' said the classical Norman.

'Well, skip the extract, grandmamma.'

'Now, did anyone ever before read such a mixture of the bombastic and
the burlesque? We are called upon to cry over every joke, and, for the
life of us, we cannot hold our sides when the catastrophes occur. It is
a salad in which the pungency of the vinegar has been wholly subdued
by the oil, and the fatness of the oil destroyed by the tartness of the
vinegar.'

'His old simile,' said Charley; 'he was always talking about literary
salads.'

'The gentleman, of course, gives way at the last minute,' continued Mrs.
Woodward. 'The scene in which he sits with the unopened letter lying on
his table before him has some merit; but this probably arises from the
fact that the letter is dumb, and the gentleman equally so.'

'D----nation!' said Charley, whose patience could not stand such
impudence at this.

'The gentleman, who, as we should have before said, is the eldest son of
a man of large reputed fortune----'

'There--I knew he'd tell it.'

'Oh, but he hasn't told it,' said Norman.

'Doesn't the word 'reputed' tell it?'

'--The eldest son of a man of large reputed fortune, does at last marry
the heroine; and then he discovers--But what he discovers, those who
feel any interest in the matter may learn from the book itself; we must
profess that we felt none.

'We will not say there is nothing in the work indicative of talent.
The hero's valet, Jacob Brush, and the heroine's lady's-maid, Jacintha
Pintail, are both humorous and good in their way. Why it should be so,
we do not pretend to say; but it certainly does appear to us that Mr.
Tudor is more at home in the servants' hall than in the lady's boudoir.'

'Abominable scoundrel!' said Charley.

'But what we must chiefly notice,' continued the article, 'in the
furtherance of those views by which we profess that we are governed--'

'Now, I know, we are to have something very grandiloquent and very
false,' said Charley.

'--Is this: that no moral purpose can be served by the volumes before
us. The hero acts wrongly throughout, but nevertheless he is rewarded at
last. There is no Nemesis--'

'No what?' said Charley, jumping up from his chair and looking over the
table.

'No Nemesis,' said Mrs. Woodward, speaking with only half-sustained
voice, and covering with her arms the document which she had been
reading.

Charley looked sharply at his wife, then at Linda, then at Mrs.
Woodward. Not one of them could keep her face. He made a snatch at the
patched-up manuscript, and as he did so, Katie almost threw out of her
arms the baby she was holding.

'Take him, Harry, take him,' said she, handing over the child to his
father. And then gliding quick as thought through the furniture of the
drawing-room, she darted out upon the lawn, to save herself from the
coming storm.

Charley was quickly after her; but as he made his exit, one chair fell
to the right of him, and another to the left. Mrs. Woodward followed
them, and so did Harry and Linda, each with a baby.

And then Captain Cuttwater, waking from his placid nap, rubbed his eyes
in wondering amazement.

'What the devil is all the row about?' said he. But there was nobody to
answer him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Francis Russell has contributed historical and critical articles
to such periodicals as _American Heritage_, _Horizon_, _The Yale
Review_, _The Antioch Review_, _The Christian Science Monitor_, and
abroad to _Irish Writing_, _The Observer_, _The Countryman_, _Time
& Tide_, and others. It was while serving on a jury in Dedham,
Massachusetts, thirty-two years after Sacco and Vanzetti had been
tried and condemned in the same courtroom, that he began his
investigation of the written and unwritten history of the case that
resulted in _Tragedy in Dedham_.

Born in Boston in 1910, he attended the Roxbury Latin School.
Following several undergraduate years in France and Germany, he
returned to New England and graduated from Bowdoin in 1933. In 1937
he received an A.M. from Harvard. During World War II he served in
the Canadian Army as a captain in the Intelligence Corps. After the
war he was a political intelligence officer with the British 30th
Corps in Hildesheim, Germany. In 1955 his volume of critical essays
on Joyce, Kafka, and Gertrude Stein was published in England as
_Three Studies in 20th Century Obscurity_. He is co-author of _The
American Heritage Book of the Pioneer Spirit_. He lives in Wellesley
Hills, Massachusetts.
