They now dropped into a slower pace and, after going for a mile, they neared the spot where the craft were lying moored in the river. Several small boats were drawn up on the shore.
And as to Rose, I don't see what objection she could have made if her father was satisfied. 'Perhaps the same that your sister makes to me, you being satisfied. Fergus gave a broad stare at the comparison which this supposition implied, but cautiously suppressed the answer which rose to his tongue. 'O, we should easily have arranged all that.
‘I think you’d better,’ observed Fergus, ‘and so does our good parson; he has been addressing the company in his richest vein all the while, and eyeing you, from time to time, with looks of stern distaste, while you sat there, irreverently whispering and muttering together; and once he paused in the middle of a story or a sermon, I don’t know which, and fixed his eyes upon you, Gilbert, as much as to say, “When Mr.
