Brace had made up his mind to see the luggage and stores placed on board the brig, which had now been warped alongside one of the wharves; but, on going out from the hotel and catching sight of the American, he went back and joined his brother, who was having a long final chat with Captain Banes.
The Bailie's doing what he can to save something out of the wreck for puir Rose; but I doubt, I doubt, I shall never see her again, for I maun lay my banes in some far country.
If this offer suits you, send me a line, and I will forward what remains of it to you with all despatch: you shall then give it my news, for it is six weeks now since I have seen my two sultanas. Only make haste in eight days' time they are to return to Constantinople. The blessings of civilization are decidedly banes to these little animals. Liberty in Paris would soon ruin them.
"Well, I don't quite like this drowsiness that has come over our patient; it's 'most as if he had been given a dose of opium to soothe the pain. It is the only bad symptom I see." "Don't say you're no doctor, sir," said Captain Banes, with a low chuckle, "because it seems to me that you are." "Why do you think so?" said Briscoe, looking at him wonderingly.
Nature has afforded one of the finest land-locked harbors in the world at Nipe, and another, though smaller, a few miles away, at Banes. The region now has railroad connection with practically all parts of the island.
Ye little rin-there-out deil that ye are, what takes you raking through the gutters to see folk hangit? how wad ye like when it comes to be your ain chance, as I winna ensure ye, if ye dinna mend your manners? And what are ye maundering and greeting for, as if a word were breaking your banes?
"I don't care, sir; I'll do it. You've got the wrong man to deal with if you think you're going to play any of your Yankee tricks with David Banes. Here, Dellow, heave-to and man the big boat." "Good ten miles to the shore," said the first mate in a low remonstrant tone of voice. "I don't care if it's twenty. I said I wouldn't take him as a passenger, and I won't."
Auld Thomas Howkings, the betheral, fell sick, and died in the course of a week's illness, about the end of November; and the measles coming at that time upon the parish, there was such a smashery of the poor weans as had not been known for an age; insomuch that James Banes, the lad who was Thomas Howkings' helper, rose in open rebellion against the session during his superior's illness; and we were constrained to augment his pay, and to promise him the place if Thomas did not recover, which it was then thought he could not do.
"Na; there was naething to brak, 'cep it had been your banes, Johnny; an' that wad hae been a peety they're sae guid for rinnin wi'." "You had no right to enter against the will of my gatekeeper," said his lordship. "What is a gatekeeper for?" "I had a richt, my lord, sae lang 's I was upo' my leddy's business." "And what was my lady's business, pray?" questioned the marquis.
Goggles provided for this gas were nearly useless, and we all resorted to the regular gas helmet. In this way we were able to stand the stuff. The gas mask, by the way, was the bane of my existence in the trenches one of the banes. I found that almost invariably after I had had mine on for a few minutes I got faint. Very often I would keel over entirely.
