The Bey also persisted in his intention of pressing American vessels into his service; but he waived this claim in the case of national ships, and promised not to take merchantmen, if he could possibly do without them. Convinced that no better terms could be obtained, Cathcart sailed for Tripoli, to encounter fresh troubles, leaving Eaton alone to bear the greediness and insolence of Tunis.
Cathcart, who sent for you. Had she given me the opportunity, I would have begged that the interview might take place in her room instead of mine." Dr. Wade retreated towards the fireplace, where Mrs. Cathcart stood, quite aware that she had got herself into a mess of no ordinary complication. Yet she persisted in her cunning. She lifted her finger to her forehead. "Ah?" said Dr. Wade.
Knott said, as he lowered himself cautiously on to the seat of the highest chair available. "Or a good conscience," Mrs. Cathcart observed, with mild dogmatism. "I am not altogether so sure about that," the doctor answered. "I have known the doubling of a few charitable subscriptions work extensive cures under that head.
And you may fancy, if you please, that somewhere in the shadows of the house some one heard those words and chuckled with delighted pleasure. Mrs. Slater was caretaker at No. 21 March. Square.

Then Cathcart gave vent to a little exclamation. "Great Heavens, Trent, what have you been doing?"
