Bazalgette read it with heightening color, laid it down, cast a pitying glance on Lucy, and said, with a sigh, "Poor girl!" Lucy turned a little pale. "Has anything happened?" she faltered. "Something is going to happen; you are to be torn away from here, where you are so happy where we all love you, dear. It is from that selfish old bachelor.
"Oh, Mr. Bazalgette!" "Have you forgotten what you told me? 'Try and make me happy some other way, says you. Now I remembered hearing you say what a nice pony you had at Font Abbey; so I sent a capable person to collect ponies for you. These have both a reputation. Which will you have?" "Dear, good, kind Uncle Bazalgette; they are ducks!"
Seeing David saying a word to Lucy, she got into the chair, and went gayly off, drawn by the kite, which Arthur, with a mighty struggle, succeeded in hooking to the car for her. Now, the plateau was narrow, and the chair wanted guiding. It was easy to guide it, but Mrs. Bazalgette did not know how; so it sidled in a pertinacious and horrid way toward a long and steepish slope on the left side.
Well, for a young lady that had never, to her knowledge, felt the tender passion, the imitation thereof which she now favored that little society with was a wonderful piece of representation.

Been grubbing like a pig all day, so can't eat like a Christian at meal time; you can't humbug me." "Alas! so I see. That decides me to be candid and hungry." "Well, I am off; I don't stick to my friends and bore them with my affairs like that egotistical hussy, Jane Bazalgette. I amuse myself, and leave them to amuse themselves; that is my notion of politeness.
He saved them both, but in the doing of it missed his ship, and professional ruin faced him. Then good-hearted Lucy was miserable, and appealed to Mr. Bazalgette, and he managed somehow to get David made captain of the Rajah.
