Thus should my lord's sin come to find him out.
This Everard had sworn, and this he had done.

He had told Justin the story almost as soon as Justin was of an age to understand it.

He had repeated it at very frequent intervals, and as the lad grew, Everard watched in him--fostering it by every means in his power--the growth of his execration for the author of his days, and of his reverence for the sweet, departed saint that had been his mother.
For the rest, he had lavished Justin nobly for his mother's sake.

The repurchased estates of Maligny, with their handsome rent roll, remained Justin's own, administered by Sir Richard during the lad's minority and vastly enriched by the care of that administration.

He had sent the lad to Oxford, and afterwards--the more thoroughly to complete his education--on a two years' tour of Europe; and on his return, a grown and cultured man, he had attached him to the court in Rome of the Pretender, whose agent he was himself in Paris.
He had done his duty by the boy as he understood his duty, always with that grim purpose of revenge for his horizon.
