He had been present indeed at the Sarratt wedding, and could never forget Nelly as a bride, the jessamine wreath above her dark eyes, and all the exquisite shapeliness of her slight form, in the white childish dress of fine Indian muslin, which seemed to him the prettiest bridal garment he had ever seen.
"Please, sir, we have leave from Mr Cookson, and I have found Tom Bowling I mean Buller's knife," said the former, addressing Dr Jolliffe, who waved his hand towards Mr Elliot in silence, and frowned. "Wait a bit, my lad, do not be flurried," said the magistrate; "stand there. Let him be sworn," he added to the clerk. And Simmonds took his first legitimate oath.
Cookson, the English consul, and a week after the riot the Wild Wave sailed for Smyrna, Captain Murchison saying that he should look in at Alexandria on his way back, and that the boys if found were to await his return there.
At the time of my visit, the Gaboon River had four English traders; viz. Messrs. Laughland and Co., provision-merchants, Fernando Po and Glasgow. Their resident agent was Mr. Kirkwood. Messrs. Hatton and Cookson, general merchants, Liverpool. Their chief agent, Mr. R.B.N. Walker, who had known the river for eleven years , had left a few days before my arrival; his successor, Mr.
Bridget Cookson thought the war 'odious, and gave no more attention to it than she could help. It had lasted now nearly a year, and she was heartily sick of it.

Nelly's face and form, also, as the twilight veiled them, were charged for Hester with pitiful meaning.
