' I am full of gratitude to you — you have saved my life. And your care of me is like coals of fire on my head ! I am a monied person now. Surely I can do something in return for your goodness — some- thing practical ? ' Henchard remained in thought. He had evidently not expected this. ' There is one thing you might do, Lucetta,' he said. ' But not exactly of that kind.' ' Then of what kind is it ? ' she asked with renewed misgiving.
' I must tell you a secret to ask it. You may have heard that... I have been unlucky this year ? I did what I have never done before — speculated rashly; and I lost. That's just put me in a strait.' ' And you would wish me to advance some money ? ' ' No, no ! ' said Henchard, almost in anger. ' I'm not the man to sponge on a woman, even though she may be so nearly my own as you. No Lucetta ; what you can do is this ; and it would save me. My great 251 THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE creditor is Grower, and it is at his hands I shall suffer if at anybody's ; while a fortnight's forbearance on his part would be enough to allow me to pull through.
