You will scarcely be surprised to hear, she said, greeting him with, a beaming smile,
gpt
--here the woman's yearning heart spoke out in her glowing eyes--
human
Magnificent, Marguerite! sighed the chevalier;
gpt
What duty chevalier?
human
We must give our convict his dose of oakum sweet, _mi ladi_, before we dig the murdered man out of his grave.
gpt
No, no! exclaimed Margaret, with a shudder.
human
How could you, when St. Udo was not really slain by him?
gpt
Nothing easier, replied the young man, with a dull shrug.
human
We know not this thing that Colonel Brand is alive until the murderer is no more, and then we discover our mistake and the heir of Castle Brand at one and the same time. Eh, mademoiselle?
gpt
Would you cause an innocent man to lose his life?
human
Innocent--_pouf!_ So is the weasel of rats! His _intention_ was not innocent, _m'amie_, and it is too well for him that he should have the return trip to Tasmania for nothing, and make some chain-gang miserable for life. Bah! you Thoms, why did I not kick you oftener? _Mon Dieu!_ how blind we are.
gpt
I scarcely suppose you are really in earnest with such a proposition, said Margaret, fixing her clear eyes incredulously upon him,

--she smiled kindly upon her good fairy--
gpt
I have been taught too severe a lesson to desire acting without the express protection of my guardians, Mr. Davenport and Dr. Gay.
human
Confide everything to your guardians, mademoiselle, rejoined the chevalier, with a flourish of his hands outward, as if he was bailing his heart dry,
gpt
You shall accompany me, said Margaret, with bright tears in her eyes,
human
By gar! you are von angel. Now, my satisfaction would be superb if you would but wait until that leetle game was played out with Monsieur Handcuff, and that I should stand by him at the proper moment to see the noose grip, and the drop, and the juggling trick which turns a villain into a human tassel. Hah! --rubbing his hand with relish--
gpt
I think I see him, the dog!
human
You will go to Mr. Seamore Emersham, who is counsel for the prosecution against Mortlake and tell him, first, that the man has been arrested as a runaway convict; second that his attempt to murder Colonel Brand has proved a failure, and that Colonel Brand is now at New York. Then invite him up to the castle this evening, where you and he will meet the executors, and a consultation can be held upon the subject.
