My business was to lay about; and I did it to some purpose. This little slash, across my eyes struck fire, and it does the same now by moonlight." One of the last men in the world to brag was Lieutenant Carroway. Nothing but the great thirst of this morning, and strong necessity of quenching it, could ever have led him to speak about himself, and remember his own little exploits.
"Yes, from sense of all the good things he must lose. There seems, however, to be strong ground for believing as I may tell you, in confidence, Dr. Upround does that he had no more to do with it than you or I, ma'am. At first I concluded as you have done. I am going to see Mrs. Carroway now. Till then I suspend my judgment." "Now that is what nobody should do, Mr. Mordacks.
Let Captain Carroway attend to his own business; unless he was much belied, he had a wife who would keep him to it. Who was Captain Carroway to come down here, without even being born in Yorkshire, and lay down the law, as if he owned the manor? Lieutenant Carroway had heard such questions, but disdained to answer them.
Carroway, being a generous man, would not be outdone in apologies. So these two strengthened their mutual esteem, without any fighting which generally is the quickest way of renewing respect and Mistress Anerley, having been a little frightened, took credit to herself for the good words she had used.
It was not in their power to shoot off four." "Captain, I never would have done it in your place. I call it no better than unmanly. Now go you not for to stir yourself amiss. To look thunder at me is what I laugh at. But many things are done in a hurry, Captain Carroway, and I take it that this was one of them." "As to that, no! I will not have it. All was in thorough good order.
Mordacks, who seems to be a wonderful man, and most kind-hearted to everybody, as poor Widow Carroway says of him with tears, and as he testifies of himself he set to work, and found out in no time all about me and my ear-rings, and my crawling from the cave that will bear my name, they say, and more things than I have time to tell.
Lieutenant Carroway leaped before them, flourishing a long sword, and dancing with excitement, in this the supreme moment of his life. At the same instant three men came bursting through the hedge, drew hangers, and waited for orders. Robin Lyth, in the midst of his love, was so amazed, that he stood like a boy under orders to be caned. "Surrender, Sir! Down with your arms; you are my prisoner.
They were nine in all, and Carroway himself the tenth, all sturdy fellows, and for the main of it tolerably honest; Cadman, Ellis, and Dick Hackerbody, and one more man from Bridlington, the rest a re-enforcement from Spurn Head, called up for occasion. "Landlord, produce your best, and quickly," the officer said, as he threw himself into the arm-chair of state, being thoroughly tired.
"Every word of it is true," the girl said, gently; "father, I have done every word of what they say, except about knocking down Captain Carroway. I have promised to marry Robin Lyth, by-and-by, when you agree to it." Stephen Anerley's ruddy cheeks grew pale, and his blue eyes glittered with amazement.
"Oh, don't knock my head against the door." Mrs. Carroway knew what he was come for; and although she had tried to prepare herself for it, she could not help trembling a little.
