"Here you sit and there you are!" "Thanks," said Carden, laughing again. "Now," continued the Tracer, "you must be there at one o'clock. She will be there at one-thirty, or earlier perhaps. A little later I will become benignly visible. Your part is merely a thinking part; you are to do nothing, say nothing, unless spoken to.
Ben Kelham placed his hand upon the chequered curtain, which swung back at his touch. "Is this where you sleep, Carden? I never thought you had another room behind." "It is the room in which I make my ablutions prescribed by Mohammed the Prophet of Allah who is God, at the hour of prayer."
One of the finest of its frigates had thrown down the gage of battle to as superb a frigate as belonged to the British navy. Since all doubt of her nationality was dispelled, one of the American seamen walked resolutely to Captain Carden, saluted and told him that he and his companions had no wish to fight the flag of their country.
"A hoax! devilish well done too," said Tom, "for old Carden believed the whole story, and told me that he had obtained a six months' leave for you to make your 'com. and, moreover, said that he had got a letter from the nobleman, Lord confound his name." "Lord Grey, is it?" said I, with a sly look at Tom.
Not a single shot directed against the ships went within a hundred yards of either. At sundown on account of the failing light Admiral Carden withdrew the fleet.

Kelham laughed as he sat down at the end of the wooden couch to which, without making any apology for the bareness of the tent, his host had pointed. "Jolly seeing you again, Carden.

Raby nodded assent, and seemed pleased. Not so Miss Carden. She said: "If that is your feeling, you had better stay at home. I shall go. I have something to tell Mr.
