"I've got you now got you both, and by God " "He means it, Gil!" Lucia cried, and threw herself into her lover's arms. She would die, if he died she would die with him. Pell stepped nearer to his intended victim. "Our wife is right," he scoffed. "It isn't killing that I mind it's being killed that I object to." "They'll hang you!" Gilbert warned. Pell smiled his sardonic, evil smile.
Muffled sounds too indistinct to recognize came to her. Whatever they were, they were not far off, and right in a line with the back of the cave. Lucia thought of several explanations, but could accept none of them.
From Rebby's own story her mother decided that she had been unfair to Lucia; she did not ask if Rebby had purposely spilled the honey on Lucia's muslin dress, but she felt it was not the time to allow any ill feeling among the families of the settlement, and that Rebecca's failure to ask the Hortons to come with the other neighbors to taste the wild honey could easily offend them.
In a moment Lucia was in the house and had slammed and fastened the door behind her. Rebby stood on the step breathless, the silk mitts clasped in her hand. After a moment she rapped loudly on the door. There was no response. But in a moment an upper window opened, and Mrs. Horton looked down at Rebby.

She had entirely forgotten her anger toward Lucia, or her mother's reproof. All she could think of was the news this sailor, evidently a member of the Polly's crew, had told her, believing that he was speaking to Lucia Horton.
You shall be a queen to me and to all the rest of the world, for I have much to offer you besides my poor self. However the war may end, I shall be rich, very rich, and we shall have a great career. Let it be here if you will, or in the North, or in Europe. You have only to say." There was then a feeling for him not all hate in the soul of Lucia Catherwood.

The knowledge of a large supply fleet expected for the French, and essential to the known project of the allies against Jamaica, carried the British fleet again to sea; but it failed to intercept the convoy, and returned once more to Santa Lucia, where it anchored in Gros Ilet Bay, thirty miles from Fort Royal, where the French were lying.
