What next thought Ferrers, with another flutter beneath his waistcoat. He looked about him, curled his fine moustaches, and tried to look unconscious of evil. Presently he became aware that some one was looking at him very hard through a glass partition a little way off. What now He was surprised by the appearance, through a door in the glass partition, of a goodhumoured, dapper, little old gentleman, who came straight up to him with a ning smile and the inquiry he had already heard from the bald headed man Mr. Dawlish Again Ferrers bowed in reply this time a little more resolutely. me said the little gentleman, looking his stalwart person up and down. And how are you he asked heartily, extending his hand, which Ferrers took and gripped. me he exclaimed again, glancing at his soft white hand, when released from Ferrers vice. Will you step into this room, Will you walk into my parlour thought Ferrers with a new sinking of heart I wish I knew, he said to himself, whether theres a real William Dawlish and what he is and what hes like I He entered the back parlour with the dapper little A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 47 gentleman, and found himself face to face with another person, who looked so ugly and surly, so silent, so watchful, and so overgrown with hair, that it was difficult to decide at a glance whether he was an old man or a grey gorilla. He must be the spider thought Ferrers. Now for it But hell find me a big fly to tackle My partner, Mr. Drumly, said the dapper little gentleman with a flourish of his white hand. And Im Mr. Drew, at your service. uggested Drew (while Ferrers dered if there was any suspicion of his honesty). And Honesty, continued Drumly, accepting the suggestion with a little gruffness, a man is the most godlike creature under the sun. He is; he is, said Mr. Drew, looking at Ferrers A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 49 with approval, and running his eye up and down his stalwart person. Ferrers stretched out his long legs, leaned back in his chair, and expanded his chest, to give the full effect of himself. Yes ; a healthy man that has a fine, wellgrown figure and an honest heart, repeated Mr. Drumly, is the Royalty of Manhood/ Like Saul, you know, said Mr. Drew. Ferrers forgot who Saul was, but he dered if he had an honest heart ; he scarcely felt as if he had, in the presence of these flattering old gentlemen. I suppose so, said he, by way of saying some thing. You appear, said Mr. Drew, smiling, to take your fine health now as a matter of course. Ferrers took alarm ; had he been playing his part improperly Well, said he, you see Ive had good health so long that I I forget Thats only as it should be, said Mr. Drew. But you were very queer before you went away, were you not Yes, said Ferrers, I suppose I was; I daresay I was. 4 jo * SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. But dont you remember insisted Mr. Drew. It is likely he doesnt/ said Mr. Drumly. Why should he You forget, Mr. Drew. Ah, yes ; to be sure, said Mr. Drew. What could it be Mr. Drew forgot And then, said Mr. Drumly again, hes been travelling a long while. Yes, of course, assented Mr. Drew. Lets see, Mr. Dawlish ; how long have you been away altogether How long repeated Ferrers. Yes ; how long had he been away That was a poser Let me see, Be seated. Mr. Drumly said nothing, but looked a great deal from under his shaggy brows. Ferrers sat in an attitude of expectation, determined not to commit himself. I hope, Mr. Dawlish/said Mr. Drew, a little un easily, that were not detaining you *My cabs waiting, said Ferrers; but thats of no consequence. The fact is, said Mr. Drew, in a little burst of confidence, that Sir William has overdrawn a leetle bit, and the cashier brought your cheque to us. Im sorry, said Ferrers, that its not all right Not at all, said Mr. Drew; well make it all right. Glad on the whole that it has happened, since it has introduced us to you. 48 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 1 Is Sir William very well asked Mr. Drumly, speaking for the first time, and in a voice that sounded to Ferrers like the buzz of a bluebottle in the toils of a spider. As far as I know, answered Ferrers. You are looking well, came from Mr. Drumly, and there was a lifting of the heavy gorilla brows that seemed to suggest that a smile was hid some where under the abundant hair. Thank you, said Ferrers ; I am well. Mr. Drumly, you know, said Mr. Drew, with an indulgent smile towards his partner, goes in for Health ; he believes in it ; its a creed, a hobby, with him. Health, said Mr. Drumly, and the buzzing of his voice was then very loud indeed, is everything. It is better than Wealth ; it is better than Rank. With Health a man may do anything ; and with fine Health And Honesty, he murmured, curling his moustaches in a whirl of perplexity. A matter of two years, I should think sug gested Mr. Drew. Yes, said Ferrers, eagerly seizing the sugges tion ; thats about it. And you went straight off to the East, didnt you Yes, said Ferrers, pulling his selfpossession to gether ; to the Mediterranean and the East Did you happen, asked Mr. Drew, to see any thing of the Egyptian trouble Now Ferrers felt he must make a direct statement : A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 51 he must risk it, and let Sir William know what he had said. Oh, yes, said he. I was in most of it up the Nile and across the desert with the Desert Column. Were you, indeed exclaimed Mr. Drew. But I thought you had left the army long ago Ah, yes, said Ferrers; but they let me serve as a volunteer, you know. There seemed to him nothing for it but a plain falsehood ; and being in for it, he continued : I was by the side of Lord Debrett all the time. They were interested : and they put to him several questions which he was, of course, able from his actual experience to answer sufficiently and categori cally. They were clearly pleased with him, and his selfconfidence was completely restored. I fear, said Mr. Drew at length, that we have trespassed terribly on your time. But you will excuse us. We have been very glad to make your acquaint ance, and we hope we shall meet again soon. I hope we shall, said Ferrers heartily : he liked the old men, for he was leaving their presence pleased with himself. The cash of his cheque had already been placed ready for him, and he took it and departed. He was 52 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. about to step into the waiting cab, when Mr. Drew appeared at his side and hastily laid his hand on his arm. He was invaded by the sudden thought that he was found out. Excuse me, said Mr. Drew ; but will you give me your address We may want to communicate with you. To be sure, said Ferrers. He put his hand to this pocket and that. So he went to bed and to sleep. When he woke in the morning he reflected : Yes; Im William Dawlish, and I must behave as sech. William Dawlish, it was clear, must be quickly cut off from the associations of George Ferrers. So, when he had eaten his breakfast, he called his land lady and told her that he must go away at once. She was sorry : he had been such a nice quiet gentle man. He owed the old woman nothing his room being paid for but he felt something was due to her for her expressions of politeness. He asked her to get him his fivepound note changed, the more readily that in his experience such a document could not be cashed either at shop or publichouse without the portentous formality of putting your name and ad A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 41 dress on the back. She brought him the change, and he begged her to accept a shilling. Oh, thank you, sir, said she, with a little duck of her person, which was rather like the memory of a curtsey than a curtsey itself. With such deference paid him, Ferrers felt as if he were already William Dawlish, though still in the dingy garret in Soho. He said, Not at all, and began packing away his belongings in his carpet bag. That occupation accomplished, he said Good bye to his landlady and descended the stairs. As he was departing from the doorstep, he gave a quick glance back at the house, asking himself of a sudden whether that was the end of his poverty, or whether he might have to return to the frowsy garret he had left, or at least to another like it. Of course, he would prefer not to return ; but if it were decreed changed into D. Rub that middle bit out and round off the back. Can you do that at once Oh, yessir. Ferrers withdrew to the little backroom to change his clothes. That done, he put his head out and demanded a new hat a brown one, round and of hard felt Is that portmanteau ready he asked. It was almost. When it was, he requested it to be set down in the little room. I want to put in these things Ive taken off, said he. He not only folded in the things he had taken off, but also crammed in his carpetbag and all its con tents, thinking that simplified matters a little. Then it occurred to him that, since he was supposed to have made a journey, he ought to be provided with some sort of overcoat He had not, however, sufficient 44 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. money left for that ; so he had reluctantly to forego so complete a presentation of his part as he thought he ought to make. I ought really, he also thought to himself, to take a cab from some station, and there should be labels on my portmanteau ; but I suppose these things cant matter. A hansom was called for him, his portmanteau was hoisted up, and he got in saying to the driver : Drew, Dawlish and Drumlys Bank in Lombard Street. When the bank was reached, he told cabby to wait, and descended to undergo his first ordeal. He remembered that Sir William had said with a grin that he might be detained at the bank ; and with, it must be confessed, a curious heave of feeling that he should well, he was not going to worry. Fortunes buffets and caresses he could bear with the same equal mind. He had resolved what he would do first He must array himself like a gentleman, and he had in his minds eye how his friend Lord Debrett dressed. Sir William expected him to appear at twelve oclock with a goodly portmanteau, in which he meant, no 42 A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. doubt, that there should be a goodly store of proper clothing. He could not get an outfit and a portman teau with five pounds ; but he knew of a wellfilled shop in a quiet street where misfits from fashionable tailors were sold at a reasonable price, and where, he believed, he might buy at once a proper suit to stand up in and also a sufficient portmanteau. Now, what kind of suit should be his first Sir William had abstained from explanations and directions ; but was it not plain he desired him to appear as if fresh from a journey On entering, therefore, the shop of misfits, he demanded a travelling suit of serge or tweed. He tried several, for, being a tall fellow, he was not easy to fit. At length he decided on a fine serge, which he asked to be allowed to put on. Be fore, however, withdrag to the backroom pointed out to him as the place where he might effect a change, he turned to the shopman. I want a portmanteau, said he : large and good, but not too new. You have such things, havent you Oh, yessir, said the man. Now, heres a fine solidleather article ; we bought it of a gentleman going to India. That ought to suit you to a T. Yes, said Ferrers. But heres another that will do for me, I think. He had determined on it A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN. 43 because it bore two large initials, W. B. the latter of which he saw at once could be readily changed into a D. Yessir, said the man, thats a very serviceable article ; but its not so good as this.
