'Out, no! it's past the skill of man to tell where he's to be found at a' times; there's not a dern nook, or cove, or corrie, in the whole country that he's not acquainted with. 'And do others beside your master shelter him? 'My master? 'No great boon, I should think, Evan, when both seem to be very plenty. 'Ah! but ye dinna see through it.
Corrie actually glanced in affright at the steaming windows and the door ajar, and pinched Chrissy's arm when she repeated for the last time the words of the spell: "Thrice to the holly brake Thrice to the well; Wake thee, O wake, White Maid of Avenel." The assembly paid Chrissy the highest compliment an assembly can pay a speaker.
He had seen nothing, however, and was on the point of advancing still further in his explorations, when he was discovered as we have seen. Gascoyne instantly turned the boy over on his back, and nipped a tremendous yell in the bud by grasping his wind-pipe. "Why, Corrie!" exclaimed Gascoyne, in surprise, at the same time loosening his grip, though still holding the boy down.
Corrie gasped in his effort not to break down; Alice wept with silent joy as she continued to chafe the man's limbs; and Poopy went off into a violent fit of hysterical laughter, in which her "hee, hees!" resounded with terrible shrillness among the surrounding cliffs. "Now, then, let's to work again with a will," said Corrie; "what d'ye say to try punching him?"
Corrie at Cawnpore, were admirable and earnest men; but Henry Martyn's successor at Dinapore had let the place sink into a lamentable state, and there were several chaplains who greatly resented the being brought under authority. The brunt of the battle fell of course upon the first Bishop, and being a man as sensitive as he was firm, it tried him severely.
The girl stared with a vacant countenance at the bright intelligent face of the child, and shook her head slowly. "Why don't you ask me?" inquired Corrie. "You might as well ask Toozle as that potato Kickup. Eh? Puppy, don't you confess that you are no better than a vegetable? Come, now, be honest." "Hee! hee!" replied Poopy. "Humph! I thought so. But that's an odd question of yours, Alice.
Corrie could not at first understand what they were about, but he was soon enlightened, for, after hauling the boat as far out of the water as they could, they left her there, and followed their comrades to the other side of the island, carrying the oars along with them. The spirit that dwelt in Corrie's breast was a very peculiar one.
D'ye think your father would leave you lying out in the cold all night?" "No, that I am certain he would not," cried Alice, enthusiastically; "but, then, he does not know we are here, and will never think of looking for us in such an unlikely place." "Humph! that only shews your ignorance," said Corrie. "Well, I dare say I am very ignorant," replied Alice, meekly. "No, no!
"Oh dear!" he cried, after a time, "John Bumpus, ha! ha! the grampus why, it's magnicicent, ha! ha!" and again the boy gave free vent to his merriment, while his companion looked on with a quiet grin of amusement. Presently Corrie became grave, and said, "But what of the third, the little chap, all over gold lace? P'r'aps he's the pirate. He looked bold enough a'most for any thing."
Poor little Alice, who at once recognised her father, stretched out her arms towards him, and would certainly have leaped into the sea had she not been forcibly detained by one of the pirates, whose special duty it was to hold her with one hand, while he restrained the violent demonstrations of Corrie with the other. The father was too late, however.
