Who was that young man?
Have I ever seen him before ?" "I think not, sir; but I can explain how you come to think you have.
You remember, sir, that I knew all about Mrs.Hawker's history ?" "Yes! Yes! Go on." "That young fellow is George Hawker's son." It came upon me like a thunderbolt.

We shall see soon.

He found his father out as soon as he was free, which wasn't long first, for he is mortal cunning, and since then they two have stuck together.
Most times they quarrel, and sometimes they fight, but they are never far apart.
