The felon looked at him drew one hand across his eyes, which were misty with tears, held down his head, and again looked up at length he found his tongue. "That God who rewardeth good deeds here, that God whom I have offended, before whom I must answer for my sins by daybreak to morrow, will reward you I can only thank you." He seized Mr Bang's hand and kissed it.
They alighted, and entering, made their bow to Baron B . The youngest, the Count Lemonade, spoke very decent English, and what between Mr Bang's and my bad, and Captain Transom's very good, French, we all made ourselves agreeable.
But we been thinking, sir, about Jardine's and Bang's wives and kids. They musta lost everything in that crash of the Annie Jones, so if the major would recommend that Mason and me be sent to the Titan mines, instead of the rock, we could send our credits back to help take care of the kids and all." No one spoke. "That's all," said Loring. He and Mason left the room.
A cry was raised that this was a fresh force from Waterford; the disorganised multitude endeavoured to rally in turn, but before the leaders could collect their men, the town was once more in possession of the Bang's troops. The rebels, in their turn, unpursued by their exhausted enemies, fell back upon their camping ground of the night before, at Corbet hill and Slieve-kielter.
Two hands waved a joyous farewell from the top of the cars, delighted at the prospect of a trip to market with the steers. "I don't pretend to regret that old Rile played even for Bang's," Harris said. "But I wish he'd sorted out some one else in the albino's place. It was bad business for the Three Bar when Harper went down." "He was the head of the gang," she said. "The worst of the lot."
Conshy has been nudging me for this half hour to hold my tongue regarding Aaron Bang's sea sickness. "It is absolutely indecent," quoth he. "Can't help it, Conshy; no more than the extra tumbler; those who are delicate need not read it; those who are indelicate won't be the worse of it."
He wrenched it out of its socket and brought it down on Bang's head, and the officer slid to the floor. Jardine, meanwhile, had Mason in a viselike grip, but again Loring used the lever, bringing it down hard on the neck of the freighter pilot. Jardine dropped to the deck. "Thanks, Loring," gasped Mason. "That was close! Good thing we had on these space suits, or we'd have been finished.
"Heigh ho, says Rowley," sang I Thomas, in great wrath and bitterness of spirit. "D d hard am I a duck, to live in the water altogether, entirely?" "Tom, my boy," sung out a voice from the water. It was Aaron Bang's, who, along with Transom, had seen me go on board the receiving ship.
"Now, drink Mr Bang's health." They, as in duty bound, let fly at our amigo in a volley. "Your health, Mr Bang." Aaron sprung from his seat, and made his salaam, and the Dragonflies bundled out of the cabin again. "I say, Transom, John Canoeing still always some frolic in the wind."
Bang's kind heart, for by this time a glass of water had cured him of his faintness, shone conspicuous on this occasion. "Why, Reefy little Reefy you are not hurt, my man Surely you are not wounded such a little fellow, I should have as soon thought of firing at a musquitto." "Indeed, sir, but I am; see here." Bang looked at the hurt, as he supported the wounded midshipman in his arms.
