Boden laughed, the passion dying from his face. "Ah, well, we shall have to make you march you fellows in possession. No hope unless we are 'behind you with a bradawl!" "On the contrary! We marched before you Socialists were thought of. Who have put the bulk of the cottages of England in repair during the last half century, I should like to know and built most of the new ones?
Boden and Margery alone were exempt from vengeance, according to his present designs. An unaccountable gentleness of feeling governed him, as connected with the girl; while superstition, and the dread of an unknown power, had its full influence on his determination to spare her lover.
"If," he said, "by any chance they have not heard of the boy they will be very anxious about him. I think you must take a note from me to the fishing-station. Some of the boats will be leaving for the haaf even now, and as they run past Boden, I am sure one of them will put in there with my letter." "Let me go with it, father!" Tom cried eagerly.
Our boys still call me their captain, so if you will all take your captain's advice, I'd say let the black flag be the pall of the feud. Sail with a noble minority under the Christian badge, as many a Viking did, and then it should be right well, 'Boden and Lunda against the world."
The king cannot thank you for this; but as a son, I thank you I say, 'Come to my heart, true and faithful servant. We kings are too poor to reward our servants in any other way than by confiding love." The king opened his arms and pressed Boden to his heart, who wept aloud.
As the boat rowed away he looked fondly after the child, and thought that never did a fairer maid than his darling Signy go on a mission of love. As the Boden boat went sliding along the coast of Lunda, purposing to bring up at Collaster, Tom saw their young laird riding over the hill, and as the distance was not great, the lad stood up and waved and yelled to attract Fred's notice.
I could ha' put yo' i' the river fasst enoof." A ghastly chuckle in the darkness. Boden considered. "Well, now are you going to give yourself up? You see I can do nothing to force you! But if you take my advice, you'll go quietly with me, to the police you'll make a clean breast of it." "Will they hang me, Muster Boden?" "I don't think so," said Boden slowly. "What made you do it?"
Stores were brought twice a year from the town of Lerwick; and it seldom happened that these ran short, for Miss Adiesen was a shrewd housewife and James Harrison a notable manager; also the Laird was somewhat eccentric, and objecting strongly to all society outside of Boden, did not like that "provisions short" should be made an excuse for frequent expeditions to the larger islands.
But Boden was inflexible; he would not understand my secret signs or hints; flattery has no power over him, and he is alike indifferent to promises and threats. All my dexterously aimed arrows rebounded from the rough coat-of-mail with which his honesty has clothed him." "Do not concern yourself about Boden," cried Fredersdorf, "he is a lost man; he falls without any aid from us.
Boden's shouts reached them, and they came to his aid. But Brand had disappeared. The river swept him down like a withered branch; and it was many hours before the body was recovered, half a mile from the spot where he sank. Boden was just coming to the end of his evidence.
