Excerpt from The Spitfire, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of the Sea

I wish I could assist you, master Albert; but you know that I am dependent upon your brother; from the day of his birth have I been under his roof, and although I know your wrongs and feel for you, yet I cannot league myself against the man who has used me well during my manhood, who has sheltered and pensioned me during my old age.

But, Herbert, you say that on the night when my father died, Rawlinson, the attorney, and my brother, after the sad event had taken place, never retired to rest, but having de sired a fire to be lighted in an obscure room, they continued a low whispering conversation, and were only moved from the spot by your rushing to the door and exclaiming that the chimney was on fire.
