lin. mn came pacing-
down Treg-ar-
: rick . Fore . street.
with the sheriffs
eoach swing-ingr
behind them, its
panels splendid
with fresh blue
paint and florid
blazonry. It's
wheels were picked out with yellow,
and this scheme of the color extended
to the coachman and the two lackeys,
who held on at the back by leathern
straps. Within the eoach and facing1
the horses sat two judges of the erovrn
court and Nisi Prias, both in scarlet,
with full wig's and little round patches
of blaek plaster, like ventilators, on
top;' facing- their lordships sat Sir
Felix Felix-Williams, the sheriff, in a
lightish uniform of the yeomanry
with a great shako nodding- on his
knees and a chaplain bolt uprig-ht by
his side. Behind trooped a rabble of
loafers and small boys, who shouted,
"Who bleeds bran?" till the lackeys'
calves itched with indignation.
I was standing- in the archway of
the Fackhorse inn, among the maids
and stable boys gathered to see the
pageant pass on its way to hear the
Assize sermon.
At the moment when the trumpets
rang out, a very old woman, in a blue
camlet cloak, came hobbling out of a
grocer's shop &ome twenty yards up
the pavement, and tottered down
ahead of the procession as fast as her
decrepit legs would move. There was
no occasion for hurrying to avoid the
crowd, but she went by the Packhorse
doorway as if swift horsemen were
after her, clutching the camlet cloak
across her bosom, glancing over her
shoulder and working her lips inaud
ibly. I could not help remarking the
position of her right arm. She held it
bent exactly as though she held an
Infant to her old breast, and shielded
it while she ran.
I A few paces beyond the inn door
she halted on the edge of the curb,
flung another look up the street, and
darted across the roadway. There
stood a little shop a watchmaker's
just opposite, and next to the shop a
small ope with one dingy window
over it. She vanished up the passage,
at the entrance of which I was still
staring idly, when, half a minute
later, a skinny trembling hand ap
peared at the window and drew down
the blind.
"Who is that old woman?" I asked,
touching Caleb, the head hostler, on
the shoulder.
"What woman?"
She in the blue cloak, d'ee mean?
an old, ancient, wisht-lookin' body?"
1 "Yes."
"A timmersome woman, like?"
"That's it."
"Cordely Pinsent, widow of old Key
Pinsent, that was tailor to all the
grandees in the county so far back as
I can mind. I can just mind Key Pin
sent a great, red, rory-cumtory chap,
with a high stock and a wig like King
George 'my royal patron' he called
'en. havin by some means got leave
to hoist the king's arms over his door.
Such mighty portly manners, too. Oh,
very spacious, I assure 'ee! Simme I
can see the old Trojan now, with his
white weskit bulgin' out across his
doorway like a shopfront hung wi'
jewels. Gout killed 'en. I went to
his buryin'; such a stretch of experi
ence does a young- man get by the
time he reaches my age. God bless
your heart alive, I can mind when
they were hung for forgery!"
"Who were hung?"
'People," he answered, vaguely,
"and young Willie Pinsent."
."This woman's son?"
"Aye, her son her ewe-lamb of a
child. 'Tis very seldom brought up
"Yoxrsa chap, 1 abkest tote.
ag-en her now, poor soul! She's s4
very old that folks forglts about it.
Do 'ee see her curtain yonder, over
the ope?"
"I saw her pull it down."
"Ah, you would if you was lookin'
that way. I've a-seed her do t a score
o times. Well, when the gout reached
Key Pinsent's stomach, and he went
off like the snuff of a candle at the
age of forty-two, she was left unpro
vided, with a son of thirteen to main
tain, or go 'pou the parish. She was
a Menhennick, tho', from t'other side
o' the duchy a very proud family
and didn't mean to dip the knee to no
body, and all the less because she'd
demeaned herseP to start with, by
wedding a tailor. But Key Pinsent,
by all allowance, was handsome as
biases, and well informed np to a point
that be read Shakespeare for the mere
pleasure ot-
"Well, she sold up the stock ia trade

to be sly an' hide that they meant it
for a favor, or she'd ha snapped their
heads off. An all the while she was
teachin her boy and tellin' 'en what
ever happened, to remember he was a
g-entleman. an lovia en' with all the
strength of a desolate woman,
"This Willie Pinsent was a comely
boy, too; handsome as old Key,' an'
quick at his books. He'd a bold,
masterful way, bein proud as ever
his mother was, an well knowin
there wasn't his match in Tregarrick
for headwork. Such a beautiful hand
he wrote! When he was barely turn
ed sixteen they, gave 'en a place in
Gregory's bank -Wilkins an Gregory
it was in those aged times. He still
lived home wi' his mother, rentin a
room extra out of his earmn's and
turnin' one of the bedrooms into a
parlor. That's the very room you're
lookin' afc. And when any father in
Tregarrick had a bone to pick with
his sons he'd advise 'em to take ex
ample by' young Pinsent, . 'so clever
and good, too, there was no tellin
what he mightn't come to in time.
"Well-a-Well, to cut it short, the
lad was too clever. It came out,
after, that he'd took to bettin his em
ployers m6ney ag-eil the rich men up
at the Royal exchange. An' the up-,
shot was that one evenin' while be
was drinkin'-tea with his mother in
his lovin, light-hearted way, in walks
a brace o constables an says, 'Will
iam Pinsent, ybttng chap, I arrest thee
upon a charge o counterfeitin old
Gregory's hand wrrtin Which is a hang
in' matter!." !, ' ,.
"An' now, sir,' comes .the cur'ous
part o' the tale; for, if you'll believe
me, this poor woman wouldn't listen
to it wouldn't hear a word o't.
What! my son Willie,' she flames, hot
as Lucifer. 'My son- Willie, a forger;
my boy that I have nussed an' reared
up, an' studied, marktn all' his pretty
takin' ways, since he learned to crawl!
Gentlemen,' she says, standin' up an'
facin' 'era down, vvhat mother knows
her son, if not I I give you my word
it's all a mistake. -
"Ay, an' she would have it no other.
While her son was havin' his trial in
jail, she walked the streets with her
head high, scornin the folk as
passed."
'But her greatest freak was seen
when the Assizes came. Sir, she
wouldn even go to the trial. She
disdained it. An' when that mornin
the judges had driven by her window,
same as they drove to-day, what d'ee
think she did?
"She began to lay the cloth up in
the parlor yonder, an' there set out
the rarest meal, ready for her boy.
There was meats,, roasted chickens,
an' a tongue, an' a great ham. There
was cheese cakes that she made after
a little secret of her own, an' a bowl
of junket, an inch deep in cream, that
bein' his pet dish, an' all kinds o'
knick-knacks, wi grapes an' peaches
an' apricots, an' decanters o' wine,
white an' red. Ay, sir, there was even
crackers for mother an' son to pull to
gether, with scraps o' poetry inside.
An flowers the table was bloomin'
with flowers. For weeks she'd been a
plannin it, an' all the forenoon she
moved about that table, givin' it a
touch here an' a touch there, an' tak
in' a step back to see how beauti f ul it
looked. An' then, as the day wore
on, she pulled a chair over by the
window, an' sat down an' waited.
"In those days a capital trial was
kept up till late into the night, if need
were. By an by she called up her lit
tle servin' gal that was then, (she's a
gran'mother now), an' sent her down
to the courthouse to learn how far the
trial had got, an run back with the
news.
'Down runs Selina Mary, an back
with word:
" 'They're a-Summih up, says she.
"Then Mrs. Pinsent went an' lit
eight candles. Four she set 'poo, the
table an' four 'pon the mantel shelf.
You could see the blaze out in the
street, an' the room lit np, wi' the
flowers, an fruit, an' shinin' glasses.
"So the poor woman sat a while
longer an' then she calls:
'Selina Mary, run down agen, an'
as he comes out, tell 'en to hurry.
They must be finished by now.'
"The maid was gone twenty min
utes this time. The evenin was hot
an' the window open; an now all the
town that wasn't listenin' to the trial
was gathered in front, gazin curously
at the woman inside. She was titi
vatin' the table for the fiftieth time,
an' touchin' up the flowers that had
drooped a bit i' the bowls.
"But after twenty minutes Selina
Mary came runnin' np the street, an
fetched her breath at the front door,
and went up stairs slowly and 'pon
tip-toe. Her face at the parlor door
was white as paper; an' while she
stood there the voices of the crowd
outside began to take all one tone,
and beat into the room like the sound
o' waves 'pon a beach.
" 'Oh, missis,' she begina.
" 'Have they finished?
"The poor eheald was only able to
nod.
" 'Then, where's Willie? Why isn't
he here?
" 'Oh. missis, they're going to hang
'en!
"Mrs Pinsent moved across the
room and gave her a little push out
into the street. Not a word did she
say, but shut the door 'pon her, very
gentlelike. Then she went back and
pulled the blind down, slowly. The
crowd outside watched her do t. Her
manner was quite- ord'nary. They
stood there for a minute or sj, an be
hind the blind the eight candles" went
out, one by one. 13y the time the
judges passed homeward 'twas all
sark, only the blind s ho win white by
the street lamp opposite. " Front that
year to this she has pulled it down
whenevera Judge drivesjsy.
