In making the tender of his two guineas -- which , however , Sally declined -- the worthy cleric was offering the widow 's mite ; not like some lucky dogs who might throw away a thousand or two and be nothing the worse ; and you may be sure the poor fellow was very glad to find she did not want it . ` Rather hard measure , it strikes me , ' said Dangerfield , in the club , ` to put him in the _ Hue-and-Cry _ . ' But there he was , sure enough , ` Charles Nutter , Esq. , formerly of the Mills , near Knockmaroon , in the county of Dublin ; ' and a full description of the dress he wore , as well as of his height , complexion , features -- and all this his poor little wife , still inhabiting the Mills , and quite unconscious that any man , woman , or child , who could prosecute him to conviction , for a murderous assault on Dr. Sturk , should have £ 50 reward . ` News in to-day , by Jove , ' said Toole , bustling solemnly into the club ; ` by the packet that arrived at one o'clock , a man taken , answering Nutter 's description exactly , just going aboard of a Jamaica brig at Gravesend , and giving no account of himself .

' And when that was thoroughly discussed two or three times over , they fell to talking of other subjects , and among the rest of Devereux , and wondered what his plans were ; and , there being no brother officers by , whether he meant to keep his commission , and various speculations as to the exact cause of the coldness shown him by General Chattesworth . Dick Spaight thought it might be that he had not asked Miss Gertrude in marriage .
