"I own a parrot which my great-grandfather inherited from his great-grandfather, who was hair-dresser to Henry the Fourth, and which to-day still sings with the same volubility as he did a hundred years ago: 'Long live the king! long live this paragon of virtue, sweetness, beauty, and mercy!
"There they are at last," said Heywood eagerly, pointing to a certain spot on the far-off horizon where living creatures of some sort were seen moving. "That must be a band o' red-skins," said Jasper, who trotted up at this moment with the rest of the party.
This note he gave to Catherine, with instructions to cross in the boat which was waiting for himself, and to return with Mrs. Elmsley, or if she did not come, with the doctor.

Smith was made pastor of the First Baptist Church, Newton Center, Massachusetts, where he made his home for the rest of his life. "When he died, in November, 1895," says Mr. Heywood, "he was living in the old brown frame-house at Newton Center, Massachusetts, which had been his home for over fifty years.

The jealous terrier scored her dusty paws down his white drill, from knee to ankle, before he added: "You know how the Queen of Heaven won her divinity."

"Can't leave now," snapped Gilly. "I'll be along, tell her " "Had she better go alone?" suggested Heywood. "No; right you are." The other swept a fretful eye about the company. "But this business begins to look urgent. Here, somebody we can spare. You go, Hackh, there's a good chap." Chantel dropped the helmet he had caught up. Bowing stiffly, Rudolph marched across the room and down the stairs.
While these events were occurring, a messenger of retribution was speeding over the sea to Otaheite. On the morning of 23rd March 1791, exactly sixteen months after the landing of the mutineers, H.M.S. Pandora, Captain Edwards, sailed into Matavai Bay. Before she had anchored, Coleman the armourer swam off to her, and Peter Heywood and Stewart immediately followed and surrendered themselves.
Heywood who had been so far recovered from her weakness by the change of air, as to take slight exercise in the garden, supported by her daughter, and the young officer, had on this occasion expressed a wish to join them, in order that she might inhale the soft breeze that blew from the south, and enjoy once more the scenery of the long reach of the river, which wound its serpentine course from the direction of the farm.
