to arrange further: but I think
you want to return to your father's room, so I will now take my leave."

"You are considerate, Mr Elrington; I did want to go up-stairs; but
before I go I have some property of yours to place in your hands."

I bowed, thinking that she referred to the ring, which I perceived on
her finger, and was annoyed that she was in such haste to return it.
But, on the contrary, she went to the buffet and brought out the bag of
gold jacobuses, which she laid on the table.

"You are very proud, Mr Elrington, not to take what was fairly your
due," said Miss Trevannion, smiling.

"It is much more than I have ever earned," replied I; "but your father
made me promise not to refuse it a second time, and of course I shall
now take it."

My heart was much lightened when I found that it was the gold, and not
the ring.

"Then good-bye, Mr Elrington; to-morrow I shall see you, of course."

Miss Trevannion then left the room and 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 recognise 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
than that of Elrington."

Thus, Madam, did I resume my real name without any suspicion on the part
of Captain Levee; but I could not well sign government papers with an
assumed one.

On the following day I called upon Mr Trevannion, who received me with
great affection, and it was arranged that I should set off in three
days, which time
