Mr Standish here got quite delirious when the minister prayed for 'the adjacent country of England, which, as Thou knowest, O Lord, lies some twa hundred miles to the sooth of us, I'm sorry I can't talk Scotch, Mr Fordyce, as if he was afraid that Providence might mail the blessing to the wrong address and Iceland would get it." Kitty broke in upon Miss Buncle's reminiscences.
"Now, Standish?" "N.E. this time," remarked that youth philosophically. The Admiral said nothing, but I saw his choleric blue eyes slide round in the direction of Miss Buncle's headgear. He turned to Dermott. "How many, old man?" "Blob!" That Dermott should return empty-handed from any kind of chase was so surprising that we all turned round for the explanation. Dermott was looking very dejected.
The other two, instead of keeping on their course over Standish's head, suddenly swerved round to the left, almost at right angles I think they had seen Miss Buncle's tam o' shanter and simultaneously decided that there are worse things than death and flew straight down the line, followed by an ineffectual volley from the twelve and twenty-eight bores respectively. "Now, Dermott, my boy!"
