hastened up-stairs to her
father, and I went home to my lodgings. I narrated the substance of
what had passed between Mr. Trevannion and me to Captain Levee and
Philip, and also that I had been kindly received by Miss Trevannion.

"Well, I like the reconciliation and arrangement very much," said
Captain Levee; "and as you have such a bag of gold, and I have not
fifty guineas in the world, you shall stand treat in London,
Elrington."

"That I will, with pleasure; it will only be discharging an old debt,
Levee. Philip shall go with us."

"But," said Captain Levee, "do you not think they will recognize their
state prisoner, and be cautious of a Jacobite?"

"They may remember the name," said I, "but my person was seen but by
few. I do, however, think it would be advisable, as I shall have to
sign papers, to take another."

"I think so, too," replied Captain Levee; "what shall we call you?"

"Let me see; I'll have a good name. I had a relative of the name of
Musgrave; I think I will borrow his name. What say you, Philip. Will
you be for the future Philip Musgrave?"

"Yes, brother, with all my heart. The name appears to fit me better

with an assumed one.

On the following day I called upon Mr. Trevannion, who received me

three days, which time would be required for preparation, and to make
the necessary purchases. To supply funds for the journey, Mr.
Trevannion gave me another bag of jacobuses, of the same amount as the
former, saying that he wished us to appear bravely when we arrived in
London, and that he should require no account of the expenditure, only
that if the contents of the bag were not sufficient, he would supply
more. This was nothing more but an excuse on his part to be generous;
for one quarter of the money would have been sufficient for all
needful expenses. I told him that I had taken the name of Musgrave, as
that of Elrington might be remembered to the injury of the proposal,
and he said that it was well thought of by me. Miss Trevannion had
entered the room when I mentioned that to her father, and afterwards
had quitted it. After I had taken leave of Mr. Trevannion, I went down
to the sitting-room, where I found his daughter waiting for me. We had
much friendly discours
