"They may be the best calculators in the world for what I care," answered the first mate, roughly; "but I will back Jonas Scoones to take a ship round the world with any man alive, so do not trouble yourself on that point, Captain Aggett. You and I have never had a tiff while we have sailed together, and I do not want to have one now, so I'll say no more about the matter."

'But an' thou think I used the man roughly, thou shouldst have heard my father speak to him his mind of the king his master. 'Hath the king then shown himself unkingly, madam? said Dorothy aghast. Whereupon lady Glamorgan told her all she knew, and all she could remember of what she had heard the marquis say to Boteler.

"Aha, young Bold!" says Cyrus, clutching me roughly by the arm, "so you thought to give us the slip, did you?" I could not deny it, and said nothing.

The savage, however, did not follow, and Dick, as the lad rushed into his arms, shook him rather roughly, and said: "Keep still! Why do you make such a thunderin' noise?"

"Haven't I proved it?"

Instinctively he rushed forward out of the shadow and, seizing Mark by the arm as he sprang upon the parapet, dragged him roughly back. 'You coward! he cried, 'you fool! This is the way you keep your appointment, is it? You can do that afterwards if you like just now you will come with me.
