"I've told the boys they shall have a chance Mr. Owen," replied Pollard quietly, yet in a tone of authority. "So of course my word must be kept with them." "But I'm the foreman," exclaimed Joshua Owen, irritably, "and I'm supposed to " "Exactly," interposed David Pollard. "You're supposed to obey all instructions from your superiors here, and to give your advice when it's wanted.
You all remember Mr. Benson. He was here last year -he and his two submarine friends. We didn't see them, because our class didn't go out on the Pollard submarine boat that was here last year. But you remember them, just the same. You remember, too, that Mr. Benson and his friends were hazed by some of the men in last year's youngster class. You heard about that?
"Henderson," called Captain Jack, "steer north by northeast, one point off north." "Aye, aye, sir," came from the seaman in the conning tower. "Hold fast! Make ready to dive!" called the young captain. Then, at the signal, Hal Hastings turned open the sea-valves into the diving tanks. Down shot the "Pollard," the young captain standing by the gauge to watch until they were fifty feet below.
Thomas Pollard. In the right hand margin is a stage-direction, scored through, "Droms Enter ye Arminians: pass over." MS. Enter Bredero, Vandort and 2 Lords. The words in Roman letters are scored through in the MS. The brackets are mine: whoever excluded the 2 Lords left these words standing by an oversight.

Pollard, who in his taciturn gloom seemed like the natural genius of the spot, appeared to be struck by this same sensation also, for his eyes wandered more than once to the mirror, before he summoned up courage, or, perhaps, I should say, before he took the determination to look me in the face and open the conversation.

Why do you insist on talking to me of him? And what has he done?" In spite of her calm, a quiver of emotion was behind the last words, and nothing of it escaped Kate Pollard.
"Whom should I mean but the base and unnatural wretch who, for purposes of his own, has made you the arbitrator of my destiny and the avenger of my sin my brother, my vile, wicked brother, whom may Heaven " "Stop! Your brother has had nothing to do with this. Do you suppose I would stoop to take information from him? What I know I know because my eyes have seen it, Dwight Pollard!
"Troth, ma'am, they were affronted at the new rat-trap, they only licked the milk off it, and that occasioned them to run off with the butter!" Mr. and Mrs. Pollard have spent a day here, and brought with them Miss Napier. My father is charmed with her beauty, her voice, and her manners. We talked over Waverley with her.
"Then John will be away for another night. I do hope he won't try to get back this time. Night before last he left his assistant with a case, and raced his horse ten miles in the dead of the night to get home," Mrs. Pollard proudly reported, "for fear I'd be afraid in the storm." "And married four years!" Mrs. Reeves smilingly shook her head in indulgence of such long-lived romance.
