Harry having been told to mention some chief towns in Asia Minor, rashly began with "Kingshaven," and then corrected himself, blushing and looking very much ashamed, while Dr. Grierson himself had some difficulty in subduing the bursts of laughter all down the forms.
Leslie began to think it would be best just to let Harry remain all the summer at Kingshaven, so he secured another cottage nearer the sea than their present quarters; and here Harry remained, and the children by turns, with nurse to keep order, and the parents looking down now and again to see that all was right.
Grierson, and he was asking most kindly for his little scholar quite sorry to hear of your being laid up, Harry? And the young Melvilles are perhaps coming down to Kingshaven before long. You'll like to see them again. Jack Lowford had a nasty fall off that bicycle of his. He was coming down Grove Lane, where it is rather steep, you know, and the thing went right over.
By the time they got thoroughly settled in their new home it was getting quite late in the day, so there was only time for a saunter all along the beach and the parade and the principal streets of Kingshaven. It was with some difficulty that Harry managed to walk now; but so anxious was he to secure his grand treat on Monday that he still kept his pain to himself.
All through the afternoon and night, however, a strange, dull pain in the knee haunted him. He did not tell anybody, but he wished frequently it would go away before he got to Kingshaven. There stood the Rover, all nicely packed and ready for the railway journey, and Harry's heart beat high when he thought how soon he should see it riding proudly on the waves the admired of all beholders.
He was a good-tempered, sensible boy, and a pleasant guest in any household. Mr. Leslie would be able to go down with his family to Kingshaven; but was to leave them there and return to business, making his home for the time at a married sister's house in Rosehampton. So everything seemed promising; and even Mrs.
Let us look back first to the little seaside cottage where Harry is so happy never wearying of Kingshaven, as indeed he had declared he never would, even when he knew not how long his stay was to be. He is taken out to the beach every day by careful hands, and is gathering strength bit by bit.
Harry was to have a longer time at Kingshaven than he imagined, and perhaps if he could have foreseen everything he would not have talked so very confidently of "never wearying." But it is very good for all of us that just one step of our way is open before us.
As to Walter, his father may do what he pleases; but you are going to help your father in the warehouse when you grow big, so you don't need to trouble your head about anything else. But, as I was saying, if you are a good boy till next holidays, I promise to take you all to Kingshaven, and you shall sail your ship as much as you like from the little jetty or the rocks.
There stood the unfortunate ship Rover, whose piratical wanderings had also been cruelly frustrated. It stood on a table just below the skylight, so that Harry could see it easily where he lay; but now the sight rather added to his vexation than otherwise. Would he ever be able to sail it before they left Kingshaven and returned to Rosehampton? It seemed very unlikely. Their kind friend Dr.
