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. 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
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. 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 TERESA 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 MY VOYAGE WITHIN A WEEK AND I DETERMINED I WOULD SEE HER ONCE BEFORE I LEFT TERESA WAS ALWAYS MY FRIEND FOR SHE LOVED MARIAN 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 SCRATCH 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
