‘Did no one know, then?’
‘No, for the vicomte, we learned later, wrote to General Lord Charvill in
pursuit of his sister. To my loving parents and brothers, and
my Aunts, Gail and Barb. He, next,
discovered that Blueskin was gone; and, pursuing his scrutiny, found that he had
carried off all the banknotes, gold, and letters,—including, what Jonathan
himself was not aware of,—the two packets which he had abstracted from the
person of Thames. Wood fared still worse. ’
Baring his teeth in a smile of triumph that was every bit an animal snarl, and
leaping up onto the seat of the pew he was in, he jumped hazardously to the next. I hope to see the day, when not Southwark alone, but London itself
shall become one Mint,—when all men shall be debtors, and none creditors,—
when imprisonment for debt shall be utterly abolished,—- when highwayrobbery shall be accounted a pleasant pastime, and forgery an accomplishment,
—when Tyburn and its gibbets shall be overthrown,—capital punishments
discontinued,—Newgate, Ludgate, the Gatehouse, and the Compters razed to the
ground,—Bridewell and Clerkenwell destroyed,—the Fleet, the King's Bench,
and the Marshalsea remembered only by name! But, in the mean time, as that
day may possibly be farther off than I anticipate, we are bound to make the most
of the present.
