CHAPTER XXIV
17/20

I know the breed.

I know him yonder, the skim-milk lord.
There is no blood of justice, no milk of kindness in him.

Do you think his father that I friended in this thing--did he ever give me a penny, or aught save that hut on the hill that was not worth a pound a year?
Did he ever do aught to show that he remembered ?--Like father like son.
I wanted naught.

I held my peace, not for him, but for her--for the promise I made her when she smiled at me and said: 'If I shouldn't be seeing thee again, Soolsby, remember; and if thee can ever prove a friend to the child that is to be, prove it.' And I will prove it now.
He must come back to his own.

Right's right, and I will have it so.
