"You will think I am mad," said the lady, endeavoring to control her tears, "but I MUST have ice. Don't tell me that you have no ice!" "My dear lady," said Cleggett, unconsciously clasping, in his anxiety to reassure her, the hand that she had laid upon his arm, "I have ice you shall have all the ice you want!" "Oh," she murmured, leaning towards him, "you cannot know "
"He will go to any length to get this back into his possession," said Cleggett, as he dumped the heap of incriminating evidence back into the box and began to nail the boards on again. "Any length," echoed the Doctor. Pat upon the thought came the sound of taxicabs without. They went on deck and saw a sinister procession rolling by.
He thought he detected a kindlier gleam in the old man's eye as that person listened to these words. "The' ain't a stick in her," said the ancient fisherman. "She's got no wheel and she's got no nothin'. She used to be used as a kind of a barroom and dancin' platform till the fellow that used her for such went out o' business." He paused, and then added: "What might your name be?" "Cleggett."
Cleggett was not the sort of man who is ashamed to acknowledge an error. "Friends," he cried impulsively, "forgive me! I should have known better than to phrase my remarks as I did. I would not have hurt your feelings for worlds. I know you are devoted to me. I call for volunteers for the perilous adventure which is before us!" The ship's company stepped forward as one man.
"We never fought it out," he said. Whether Loge heard him or not, the same thought was evidently running is his mind. He lifted his head. A slow, malignant grin that showed his yellow canine teeth lifted his upper lip. He fixed his eyes on Cleggett with a cold deadliness of hatred and said: "You are lucky."
"I been tellin' him," said the Cap'n, pitching his voice shrilly above the din the workmen made, and not giving the Rev. Mr. Calthrop an opportunity to speak for himself, "I been tellin' him it may be a long time before the Jasper B. gets to the Holy Land." "Do you want to go to Palestine?" asked Cleggett of Mr.
As Elmer carefully dropped ice, piece by piece, into the oblong box, progressing slowly from hole to hole, Cleggett thought he had never seen a more depressed young man. Captain Abernethy approached Cleggett.
But, in a community where nearly everyone knows a little about boats, I believe that Abernethy is remarkable for an indisposition to venture far from shore." "I can scarcely believe it," breathed Cleggett. "He does not understand boats," said Barnstable. "That is the reason, I take it, why he has always fished in the canal from the deck of the Jasper B."
"I had only intended to buy the vessel," said Cleggett. "I don't know that I'll be able to use the land." Mr. Goldberg looked at Cleggett with a slight start, as if he were not sure that he had heard aright, and opened his mouth as if to say something. But nothing came of it not just then, at least. When the last signature had been written, and Clegget's check had been folded by Mr.
Cleggett, I'll SAIL her, whether you turn her into a battleship or into one of these here yachts. I come of a seafarin' fambly." And then he said to the lady, indicating the tie and bobbing his head forward with a prim little bow: "Thank ye, ma'am." "Isn't he a duck!" said the lady, following him with her eyes, as he went behind the cabin.
