One marked difference
between the poor outcast, who, oppressed by poverty, and stung by shame, had
sought temporary relief in the stupifying draught,—that worst "medicine of a
mind diseased,"—and those of the same being, freed from her vices, and restored
to comfort and contentment, if not to happiness, by a more prosperous course of
events, was exhibited in the mouth. Over here, there was
generally some unusual twist to a case. After pursuing the fugitive as before related, Jonathan Wild returned to his own
habitation, where he was occupied during the remainder of the night with Quilt
Arnold and Obadiah Lemon in removing everything which, in case of a search,
might tend to criminate him. In vain did the woollendraper offer to set him free if he would restore the stolen article, or give up his
associate, to whom it was supposed he might have handed it. When he faced Spurlock, the granite was cracked and
rived; never had Spurlock seen such dumb agony in human eyes. As the woollendraper's back was towards him, he did not perceive him, but continued his
passionate addresses. "Is this Misther Wudd's, my pretty miss?" demanded the rough voice of the Irish
watchman.
