Memoirs of Mr. Charles J. Yellowplush

CHAPTER X
77/87

The boy went by the name of Norman.
Lady Arundel meanwhile married again, again became a widow, but had a second son, who was the acknowledged heir, and called Lord Ashdale.

Old Lord Arundel died, and her ladyship became countess in her own right.
When Norman was about twelve years of age, his mother, who wished to "WAFT young Arthur to a distant land," had him sent on board ship.

Who should the captain of the ship be but Gaussen, who received a smart bribe from Sir Maurice Beevor to kill the lad.

Accordingly, Gaussen tied him to a plank, and pitched him overboard.
