The First Sheet of Characters was given with No. I.; the Second with No. III; and others will follow rapidly. With No. I. was also given A LARGE & MAGNIFICENT ENGRAVING, Beautifully printed on thick paper, representing THE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN EARL PERCY OF NORTHUMBERLAND & THE DOUGLAS, AT THE CELEBRATED CONFLICT OF CHEVY CHASE. ORDER No. I., AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES! [Illustration: CAPTAIN JACK COMMITS MURDER.] No one knew them there, so that information could not be sent to town. Having spent the day very pleasantly together, the young couple returned in the evening, and when she arrived home Miss Fanny informed her anxious and loving parents that “she had been spending a very pleasant day with an old schoolmate.” Phillip called that same evening some time after Fanny’s return home, and, hypocrite as he was, assumed all the manners of one who had casually “dropped in” for a customary evening chat. As usual, the old people retired into the inner drawing-room to allow the lovers to converse with freedom, and Sir Andrew came to the conclusion, in consideration of the unusually late hour at which Phillip departed home, that “the young couple were getting to like each other daily more and more, and would make a most excellent couple.” CHAPTER XIX. CHARLEY WARBECK IN PRISON—TRUE AND FALSE FRIENDS. While Phillip Redgill was congratulating himself upon the gradual completion and success of all his villanous schemes, Charley Warbeck was pining in prison, and totally deserted by all his “fast,” and “gallant” friends of olden times. None of them would ever visit him. “It was not respectable” to be seen within the shadows of a jail, they said. Yet, if the truth were known, many of these fine “sparks,” and “gallants,” deserved to be _in_, rather than _out_ of such an institution. More than one, had justice been cognizant of their “little speculations,” would have consigned them to worse apartments than that assigned to the brave-hearted, but foolish, Charley Warbeck. Of all who knew him in his days of prosperity, gaiety, and unimpeachable character, there was not one who visited him, or made the slightest inquiry regarding his wants or necessities. He was consigned to oblivion in general estimation, and many of his former acquaintance stoutly denied that they had _ever_ known or spoken to him in all their lives. Old Sir Richard called at the gaol several times, and proffered all the aid in his power; but as Charles had already publicly acknowledged his guilt, and persisted in avowing it, legal assistance was considered to be of little avail. Dame Worthington was an almost daily visitor, and brought every kind of refreshment for the prisoner, and her tears ever flowed copiously as she embraced “her dear son,” as she endearingly called him. In truth, she frequently transgressed the rules of the prison, and remained much longer in her visits than the regulations allowed.
