Taking my hand, Larry stumped up the passage, following the said chest and the bag which contained his wardrobe. "What ship has your son come to join?" asked good Mrs Timmins, the landlady, curtseying, as she encountered us. "Faith, marm, it's not after being the son of the likes of me is Master D'Arcy here," he answered, pleased at the same time at the dignity thus conferred on him.
'It is hallucination, I said, 'and it is the result of two very powerful causes my own strong imagination, excited to a state of feverish exaltation by the long strain of my suffering, and that power in Sinfi which D'Arcy had described as her "half-unconscious power as a mesmerist."
Back came the envoys to the council and told what Saladin had said. "At least," exclaimed Heraclius the Patriarch, "in this matter it is easy to satisfy the Sultan. Let his niece be found and delivered to him. Where is she?" Now one declared that was known by the knight, Sir Wulf D'Arcy, with whom she had entered the city.
'You had better go now, De Castro, you have kept that hansom outside for more than an hour and a half; and besides, if you stay till daylight our friend here will stay longer, for I want to talk with him alone. De Castro got up with a laugh that seemed genuine enough, and left us. D'Arcy, who was still on the sofa, then lapsed into a silence that became after a while rather awkward.
A hand was seen to wave in return to Harry's cheer. "All right all right!" cried Harry, delighted, "he is there and alive!" D'Arcy had managed to get one of his boots off, but he had great difficulty in clinging to the keel. He did not cry out to his friends to make haste, for he knew that they were doing their utmost to reach him.
After the boats, my lads!" shouted Mr Spry. "D'Arcy, do you board the barque. See if any assistance is required, and if not, pull for the schooner." It took me but a short time to find myself alongside the barque, while the rest of our party were in chase of the strange boats. So eagerly were those on board looking out at the chase, that they did not observe me step on board.
O, God, I come!" Then though his eyes stayed open, and the smile still rested on his face, his jaw fell. Thus died Sir Andrew D'Arcy. Still kneeling on either side of him, the brethren watched the end, and, as his spirit passed, bowed their heads in prayer. "We have seen a great death," said Godwin presently. "Let us learn a lesson from it, that when our time comes we may die like him."
And of course they are more than fifty times as valuable. D'Arcy turned round to see what we were talking about, when he saw the cross in my hand, and an expression of something like awe came over his face. 'The Moonlight Cross of the Gnostics! he exclaimed. 'You carry this about in your breast pocket? Put it away, put it away! The thing seems to be alive.
It is possible that Harry and Charley were slightly disappointed at having to go to school again, but Philip was most thankful for the advantage offered him. D'Arcy undertook to assist Mr Ashton in his labours on the farm during Philip's absence. The three brothers started together.
Why, messmates, if it hadn't been for D'Arcy I should have been food for fishes; I should, on my word. Think what a loss the service would have had." A loud laugh from all hands followed this remark, though I verily believe Dicky spoke in all gravity; but the fact that I had been the means of saving his life thus came out.
