I
ll
chance
it
,
he
cried
.
I
believe
you
are
a
man
of
your
word
,
and
a
white
man
,
and
I
ll
tell
you
the
whole
story
.
But
one
thing
I
will
say
first
.
So
far
as
I
am
concerned
,
I
regret
nothing
and
I
fear
nothing
,
and
I
would
do
it
all
again
and
be
proud
of
the
job
.
Damn
the
beast
,
if
he
had
as
many
lives
as
a
cat
,
he
would
owe
them
all
to
me
!
But
it
s
the
lady
,
Mary
Mary
Fraser
for
never
will
I
call
her
by
that
accursed
name
.
When
I
think
of
getting
her
into
trouble
,
I
who
would
give
my
life
just
to
bring
one
smile
to
her
dear
face
,
it
s
that
that
turns
my
soul
into
water
.
And
yet
and
yet
what
less
could
I
do
?
I
ll
tell
you
my
story
,
gentlemen
,
and
then
I
ll
ask
you
,
as
man
to
man
,
what
less
could
I
do
?
I
must
go
back
a
bit
.
You
seem
to
know
everything
,
so
I
expect
that
you
know
that
I
met
her
when
she
was
a
passenger
and
I
was
first
officer
of
the
Rock
of
Gibraltar
.
From
the
first
day
I
met
her
,
she
was
the
only
woman
to
me
.
Every
day
of
that
voyage
I
loved
her
more
,
and
many
a
time
since
have
I
kneeled
down
in
the
darkness
of
the
night
watch
and
kissed
the
deck
of
that
ship
because
I
knew
her
dear
feet
had
trod
it
.
She
was
never
engaged
to
me
.
She
treated
me
as
fairly
as
ever
a
woman
treated
a
man
.
I
have
no
complaint
to
make
.
It
was
all
love
on
my
side
,
and
all
good
comradeship
and
friendship
on
hers
.
When
we
parted
she
was
a
free
woman
,
but
I
could
never
again
be
a
free
man
.

Next
time
I
came
back
from
sea
,
I
heard
of
her
marriage
.
Well
,
why
shouldn
t
she
marry
whom
she
liked
?
Title
and
money
who
could
carry
them
better
than
she
?
She
was
born
for
all
that
is
beautiful
and
dainty
.
I
didn
t
grieve
over
her
marriage
.
I
was
not
such
a
selfish
hound
as
that
.
I
just
rejoiced
that
good
luck
had
come
her
way
,
and
that
she
had
not
thrown
herself
away
on
a
penniless
sailor
.
That
s
how
I
loved
Mary
Fraser
.
Well
,
I
never
thought
to
see
her
again
,
but
last
voyage
I
was
promoted
,
and
the
new
boat
was
not
yet
launched
,
so
I
had
to
wait
for
a
couple
of
months
with
my
people
at
Sydenham
.
One
day
out
in
a
country
lane
I
met
Theresa
Wright
,
her
old
maid
.
She
told
me
all
about
her
,
about
him
,
about
everything
.
I
tell
you
,
gentlemen
,
it
nearly
drove
me
mad
.
This
drunken
hound
,
that
he
should
dare
to
raise
his
hand
to
her
,
whose
boots
he
was
not
worthy
to
lick
!
I
met
Theresa
again
.
Then
I
met
Mary
herself
and
met
her
again
.
Then
she
would
meet
me
no
more
.
But
the
other
day
I
had
a
notice
that
I
was
to
start
on
my
voyage
within
a
week
,
and
I
determined
that
I
would
see
her
once
before
I
left
.
Theresa
was
always
my
friend
,
for
she
loved
Mary
and
hated
this
villain
almost
as
much
as
I
did
.
From
her
I
learned
the
ways
of
the
house
.
Mary
used
to
sit
up
reading
in
her
own
little
room
downstairs
.
I
crept
round
there
last
night
and
scratched
at
the
window
.
At
first
she
would
not
open
to
me
,
but
in
her
heart
I
know
that
now
she
loves
me
,
and
she
could
not
leave
me
in
the
frosty
night
.
She
whispered
to
me
to
come
round
to
the
big
front
window
,
and
I
found
it
open
before
me
,
so
as
to
let
me
into
the
dining
-
room
.
Again
I
heard
from
her
own
lips
things
that
made
my
blood
boil
,
and
again
I
cursed
this
brute
who
mishandled
the
woman
I
loved
.
Well
,
gentlemen
,
I
was
standing
with
her
just
inside
the
window
,
in
all
innocence
,
as
God
is
my
judge
,
when
he
rushed
like
a
madman
into
the
room
,
called
her
the
vilest
name
that
a
man
could
use
to
a
woman
,
and
welted
her
across
the
face
with
the
stick
he
had
in
his
hand
.
I
had
sprung
for
the
poker
,
and
it
was
a
fair
fight
between
us
.
See
here
,
on
my
arm
,
where
his
first
blow
fell
.
Then
it
was
my
turn
,
and
I
went
through
him
as
if
he
had
been
a
rotten
pumpkin
.
Do
you
think
I
was
sorry
?
Not
I
!
It
was
his
life
or
mine
,
but
far
more
than
that
,
it
was
his
life
or
hers
,
for
how
could
I
leave
her
in
the
power
of
this
madman
?
That
was
how
I
killed
him
.
Was
I
wrong
?
Well
,
then
,
what
would
either
of
you
gentlemen
have
done
,
if
you
had
been
in
my
position
?
She
had
screamed
when
he
struck
her
,
and
that
brought
old
Theresa
down
from
the
room
above
.
There
was
a
bottle
of
wine
on
the
sideboard
,
and
I
opened
it
and
poured
a
little
between
Mary
s
lips
,
for
she
was
half
dead
with
shock
.
Then
I
took
a
drop
myself
.
Theresa
was
as
cool
as
ice
,
and
it
was
her
plot
as
much
as
mine
.
We
must
make
it
appear
that
burglars
had
done
the
thing
.
Theresa
kept
on
repeating
our
story
to
her
mistress
,
while
I
swarmed
up
and
cut
the
rope
of
the
bell
.

Then
I
lashed
her
in
her
chair
,
and
frayed
out
the
end
of
the
rope
to
make
it
look
natural
,
else
they
would
wonder
how
in
the
world
a
burglar
could
have
got
up
there
to
cut
it
.
Then
I
gathered
up
a
few
plates
and
pots
of
silver
,
to
carry
out
the
idea
of
the
robbery
,
and
there
I
left
them
,
with
orders
to
give
the
alarm
when
I
had
a
quarter
of
an
hour
s
start
.
I
dropped
the
silver
into
the
pond
,
and
made
off
for
Sydenham
,
feeling
that
for
once
in
my
life
I
had
done
a
real
good
night
s
work
.
And
that
s
the
truth
and
the
whole
truth
,
Mr
.
Holmes
,
if
it
costs
me
my
neck
.
Holmes
smoked
for
some
time
in
silence
.
Then
he
crossed
the
room
,
and
shook
our
visitor
by
the
hand
.
That
s
what
I
think
,
said
he
.
I
know
that
every
word
is
true
,
for
you
have
hardly
said
a
word
which
I
did
not
know
.
No
one
but
an
acrobat
or
a
sailor
could
have
got
up
to
that
bell
-
rope
from
the
bracket
,
and
no
one
but
a
sailor
could
have
made
the
knots
with
which
the
cord
was
fastened
to
the
chair
.
Only
once
had
this
lady
been
brought
into
contact
with
sailors
,
and
that
was
on
her
voyage
,
and
it
was
someone
of
her
own
class
of
life
,
since
she
was
trying
hard
to
shield
him
,
and
so
showing
that
she
loved
him
.
You
see
how
easy
it
was
for
me
to
lay
my
hands
upon
you
when
once
I
had
started
upon
the
right
trail
.
