And I'll be infinitely obliged to you if you'll be good enough to drop the subject now and for evermore." "I say, old chap, I'm awfully sorry " Barry's impulsive speech got no further, for the other raised his hand to cut it short. "All right, Barry, we'll take it all as said.
She gave him a glance which told Barry her secret, and then with an hysterical sob passed him and entered her cabin, and as Toea shut the door old Watson looked at Barry, and the faintest flicker of a smile moved his lips. Then stooping down he picked up the box of pearls and placed them in Barry's hand. "My boy, I think your happiness lies in there in that cabin. She loves you."
"Well, we've got 'Gusty," was the reply, "and she's enough to keep us goin'. Gits round reg'lar as clockwork once a month to collect the two dollars from Perez. It's her day now, and I told Perez that that was why he sneaked off to Barry's. You see, 'Gusty's after him to buy the history of Methuselah, or some old critter, and he don't like to see her.
We put it down upon our charts and called it Trainor's Reef, as it was discovered by the third mate from the mast-head.

I was with him. One night, when I was on deck, I overheard two of the officers and a man who was a passenger plotting to seize the ship and get rid of us both.

For all her earlier assertion that Vandersee was Barry's friend and a man to be trusted, a stubborn question had taken root in her breast since that message was delivered. If Vandersee was the man who had taken Barry's party, what became of all the previous suppositions and arguments regarding their relative relations with Leyden?
And then she gave a long account of the interview to Anty and Meg, which was hardly necessary, as they had heard most of what had passed. The widow however was not to know that, and she was very voluble in her description of Barry's insolence, and of the dreadfully abusive things he had said to her how he had given her the lie, and called her out of her name.
"Good old Nan! She's a well-plucked 'un," was Barry's comment when she had finished. "Of course it's splendid of her," said Kitty. "Nan was always an idealist in her notions but in practice it would just mean purgatory. And I won't let her smash up the whole of her own life, and Peter's for an ideal!" "How do you propose to prevent it, m'dear?" "I propose that you should prevent it." "I? How?"
The joint affair was a grand one; many guests having been invited to the wedding; among whom were some officers of the I.R.A., and all that survived of Barry's comrades.
