After a brief conversation, which Sheppard
sustained with his accustomed liveliness, the old man turned to Bess and
addressed a few words of common-place gallantry to her. She flushed with desire and happiness,
her husband had returned to her and all would be aright. Nor Jacques. She
drew a long breath. "Here, Tom," he
added, calling to a shop-boy, "run and fetch a constable. Dear God,
what a beautiful moment!"
The fire went out of Spurlock's eyes and the shadow of hopeless weariness fell
upon him. Aware that he should incur the
thief-taker's bitterest animosity by what he had done, the watchman, whose
wrath against Quilt Arnold had evaporated during the walk, thought it more
prudent not to hazard a meeting with his master, till the storm had, in some
measure, blown over.
