Platoon by platoon the company filed out and formed up roughly behind the houses. The order to move came at last and the ranked fours swung off, tramping slowly and stolidly in silence until some one struck up a song 'Crump, crump, crump, says the big bustin' shells
"I do not understand you," he said, turning pale. "It is enough to say that I have seen the woman who is now in prison, your paid agent, and that I need no assistance to recover Ida. She is in my house." What more could be said? John Somerville rose, and left the room. His grand scheme had failed. "I AM beginning to feel anxious about Jack," said Mrs. Crump.
"Deny it if you can, sir!" was evidently her unspoken thought. "And how long has my ahem! has Captain Pendarves been employing you, may I ask?" I said, wondering that Crump had not prepared me for this as for the other changes. "Young man," said Mary Smith severely, "I have no time to stand here answering idle questions.
"Then you must be made, as I take it." "Let me see the man that will make me," said Dockwrath. Mr. Crump looked very apologetic and not very comfortable. "There is a difficulty, gentlemen; there is a difficulty, indeed," he said. "The fact is, the gentleman should not have been showed into the room at all;" and he looked very angrily at his own servant, James.
Crump happily interposed, by asking Jack to go round to the grocery, in the next street, and buy a pint of milk. Jack took his cap and started, with alacrity, glad to leave the dismal presence of Aunt Rachel. He had scarcely opened the door when he started back in surprise, exclaiming, "By hokey, if there isn't a basket on the steps!" "A basket!" repeated Mrs. Crump, in surprise.
Now as we loaded the oxen, it was agreed that Rogers and I should go ahead with all but Old Crump, and get in camp as soon as possible, and they were to follow on as best they could. There was a little water left in the canteens of Bennett and Arcane, to be given only to the children, who would cry when thirsty, the very thing to make them feel the worst.
But the effort seemed temporarily to have exhausted the fury of the mob. The rest of that day and the whole of the next passed without sensation. After breakfast on the following morning Mr. Crump paid a visit to the Palace. John was glad to see him.
Was not that kind of him? Do you REALLY think I should succeed? "There's Miss Larkins has succeeded." "The little high-shouldered vulgar thing!" says Morgiana. "I'm sure I ought to succeed if SHE did." "She sing against Morgiana?" said Mrs. Crump. "I'd like to see her, indeed! She ain't fit to snuff a candle to her."
Crump," said Moulder, taking half a crown from his pocket and throwing it on the table. "I sha'n't see you at a loss." "Thank you, sir," said Mr. Crump; and he very humbly took up the money. "I keep a little account for charity at home," said Moulder. "It don't run very high, do it?" asked Snengkeld, jocosely. "Not out of the way, it don't.
Could we lift the veil that hides the secrets of that virgin heart, it might be, perchance, that we should find a hidden cause, far back in the days when thy cheeks were rounder and thine eyes brighter, and thine aspect not quite so frosty. Ah, faithless Harry Fletcher! thou hadst some hand in that peevishness and repining which make Rachel Crump, and all about her, uncomfortable.
