I regained my health more quickly than might be supposed, and young
Sorrell was even a shorter time recovering from his starvation and
bruises. I gave the worthy lad a thousand pounds, and much good may it
do him.
The portrait of Joshua Beakbane, on the back of that London and
North-Western railway share certificate, is still in my possession,
and hangs where all may see it in the library of my new habitation. I
now live far away on the coast of Cornwall where the great waves roll
in, straight from the heart of the Atlantic, where the common folk of
the district make some stir when I pass them by, and where echoes from
mighty London reverberate but peacefully in newspapers that are often a
week old before I see them.
THE END.
