I have lived long enough in this India to know that it is best to know nothing, and can only write the story as it happened. Dumoise was our Civil Surgeon at Meridki, and we called him "Dormouse," because he was a round little, sleepy little man. He was a good Doctor and never quarreled with any one, not even with our Deputy Commissioner who had the manners of a bargee and the tact of a horse.
Nevertheless, Saunders didn't shrink; he stood up to the bargee, and, being a capital boxer, he managed to win the day, and to leave the man he was fighting with nearly blind with two swollen black eyes. And every one said what `pluck' little Saunders showed." "Had the bargeman a wife and children?" asked Miss Huntingdon quietly, after a few moments' silence.
And I went up to him and laid my hand on his shoulder and said: 'You know what I mean, and you know what manner of man I am that talks to you like this; for you're no coward, I said; 'but you marry Fanny Montrose within a week after she gets her freedom, or I am going to kill you wherever you stand. And that's the choice you've got to make, Paul Bargee, I said.
"I'd thought a long time about giving another name; but I said to myself: 'No, I'll him a chance first to come down and face me like a man, so I said to the footman: 'Go tell Paul Bargee that Larry Moore has come to see him.
Despite my forty-seven years, I begin to feel almost like the James North who fought the bargee and took the gold medal. What a drink water is! The fons Bandusiae splendidior vitreo was better than all the Massic, Master Horace! I doubt if your celebrated liquor, bottled when Manlius was consul, could compare with it. But to my notable facts. I have found out to-night two things which surprise me.
Standing on the edge of the raft that makes a floating platform for the barge, William, the hoary bargee, was pushing them off with his boat-hook, wishing them luck with deferential familiarity.
I must have been happy then, but I did not know it. As we approached Morningquest I heard the chime. It was very faint at first, for we were still a long way off; but the next time it sounded we were nearer; and the next it was quite distinct. And it seemed to me to mean something, so I asked the old bargee who was steering, and he told me.
If he hadn't, I should have won hands down. Oh, I say, guess who I met at Rutton. 'Not a beak? 'No. Almost as bad, though. The Bargee man who paced me from Stapleton. Man who crocked Tony. 'Great Scott! cried the Babe. 'Did he recognize you? 'Rather. We had a very pleasant conversation. 'If he reports you, began the Babe. 'Who's that? Charteris looked up. Tony Graham had entered the study.
These capers, prohibited elsewhere, rendered the Queen thoughtful. "Wherever did he learn all this?" she asked, and added: "What naughty dances! Fie!" Then she murmured: "How graceful he is!" Mme. de Joinville was dressed as a bargee and affected the manner of a street gamin. She likes to go to those places that the court detests the most, *the theatres and concerts of the boulevards*.
"Not me," said Peter, "but YOU'D better." The girls climbed to the top of the bank and stood ready to bolt for home as soon as they saw their brother out of danger. The way home lay all down hill. They knew that they all ran well. The Bargee did not look as if HE did. He was red-faced, heavy, and beefy. But as soon as his foot was on the towing-path the children saw that they had misjudged him.
