After a month's labor, Gerald went off to purchase a new outfit. Gerald fell temporarily from grace when away, having met some of his old companions. But the old man had now lost faith in him, and cast him off on his return, in spite of his daughter's pleadings for mercy and forgiveness for him. But she took him back, and until some means could be devised to reach Ted's heart, she hid him in the stable. In the stable came two robbers.
