The next day there was an organized search for Bele Trenby through the island hamlets and along the coast; but the man was not found far or near; he had disappeared as absolutely as a stone dropped into mid-ocean. Not until the fourth day was there any probable clue found; then a fishing-smack came in, bringing a little rowboat usually tied to Howard Hallgrim's rock.
Now, then, let David speak for his father." "That is a different thing. If David has a message to deliver, he must deliver it, or he is recreant to his trust." "See to it, then. It is all I ask, but I have a right to ask it." "What right?" "Bele was my adopted son. I loved him. He was my heir. I was a lone-living woman, and he was all I had.
As the months wore on Liot's position became more and more painful and humiliating, and he had hard work to keep his hands off Bele when they met on the pier or in the narrow streets of the town.
It is an hour since I passed Skegg's Point a full hour, for it has been a step at a time. Now you will let me step after you; I see you know the way." He spoke with a nervous rapidity, and Liot only answered: "Step as you wish to." Bele fell a couple of feet behind, but continued to talk. "I have been round Skegg's Point," he said with a chuckling laugh.
She met him whenever she could, she sent him constantly tokens of her love, and she begged him at every opportunity for her sake to let Bele Trenby alone. Every day, also, his cousin Paul Borson spoke to him and praised him for his forbearance; and every Sabbath the minister asked, "How goes it, Liot? Is His grace yet sufficient?"
Tell me tell me quick, what shall I ask for you? Liot, dear one, tell me!" "Ask that I may be forgiven all my sins." "Is there one great sin, dear one? Oh, tell me now one about Bele Trenby? Speak quickly, Liot. Did you see him die?" "I did, but I hurt him not." "He went into the moss?" "Yes." "You could have saved him and did not?"
I'd forgotten to take care of it and Bele he is good, you know, but stupid had been tending it. Poor Rosebush! "It was much too big for its jar. Its roots were all cramped and its top all cut back so it couldn't bloom you mustn't prune some roses too much, you know I've just been thinking, that you're rather like my rosebush. You're Dulcie, aren't you? I think I know exactly what you need.
But it was Margot oh, heaven-sent Margot, and the adoring, clumsy Bele who toiled like four men, and so cabinet by cabinet, parterre by parterre, terrace by terrace, the superb old garden began to grow lovely once more. Think of the victory of the summer when the hedges were at last properly trimmed!
"I will look to that," answered Thora. "Every one knows there is to be a wedding in your house very soon." And with these words she nodded at Karen, and went smiling away with her message. A few hours afterward Captain Bele Trenby of the Frigate Bird stepped across Matilda Sabiston's threshold.
I have taken the cloth four times; there were also other gifts but I will say nothing of them." "You are inventing lies, Bele Trenby. Touch your tongue, and your fingers will come out of your lips black as the pit. Say to Brent what you have said to me. You dare not, you infernal coward!" "You have a pretty list of bad words, Liot, and I won't try to change mine with them." Liot did not answer.
