"No, Aleck, not this trip. You stay here and do what you can for my aunt and uncle." "Yo' father am missing, ain't he?" "Yes." "It's too bad. Hope you find him, Dick, I do, indeed! I'll tell Jack about dat auto." And Aleck Pop went off, shaking his head in sorrow. He loved all of the Rovers, and their troubles were his own. "Boys, you must take care and not get into trouble."
Their passion for the sea marked out for them their part in the general movement of the German nations. While Goth and Lombard were slowly advancing over mountain and plain the boats of the Englishmen pushed faster over the sea. Bands of English rovers, outdriven by stress of fight, had long found a home there, and lived as they could by sack of vessel or coast.
He liked the Rovers and Stanley Browne, but according to what he had seen and been told, some of the strictest rules of Brill had been violated, and it would be impossible for him to pass the affair by or mete out ordinary punishment. "I am afraid I shall have to dismiss them," he told himself. "Too bad!"
When the earliest European voyagers reached the Moluccas in search of cloves and nutmegs, which were then rare and precious spices, they were presented with the dried shins of birds so strange and beautiful as to excite the admiration even of those wealth-seeking rovers.
He turned to the two professors. "You may take them up to rooms 77 and 78, Mr. Blackie. I will confer with you further, Mr. Sharp." There was no help for it, and with their heads still in a whirl, the Rovers and Stanley were taken to two rooms not used by any of the other students. The rooms were in an angle of the building, away from all others.
But he's the finest full-back in the League." I then had a vision of Myatt as a great man. By an effort of the imagination I perceived that the equivalent of the fate of nations depended upon him. I recollected, now, large yellow posters on the hoardings we had passed, with the names of Knype and of Manchester Rovers in letters a foot high and the legend "League match at Knype" over all.
I'm quite sure the ship lays in such a position that we can get her over the ledge into deep water, and so be able to draw round into the open sea, and then " "Hurrah for the black flag and the southern seas," cried one of the party. "No, no, Jabez Jenkins," said Morris, "we don't mean to be pirates; only free rovers." "Hallo! what's this?" exclaimed another of the party.
Just then came a toot of an automobile horn, and a fine five-passenger car rolled into view, with Stanley Browne and a stranger on the front seats. "Hello, you fellows!" cried Stanley, as the auto came to a stop. "Come over here! I hoped I'd see you!" The Rovers hurried across the campus and were introduced to Jack Mason, Stanley's cousin, the driver of the car.
"Well, I have told you the truth." At this moment the coach driver came in sight, accompanied by a policeman. "What's the trouble?" demanded the officer of the law. Tom and Sam told their tale, and then the doctor had his say, and the driver related what he knew. "Certainly a queer mix-up," remarked the policeman. He turned to the Rovers. "What do you want to do?"
She is very very headstrong at times." "Yes, I do know her, Pet. She is headstrong, and greatly influenced by those Rover boys especially by Dick Rover, who seems to be ahem somewhat smitten with her." "Dick always impressed me as being a good youth." "Good?
