Whittaker, your ma, over there a-sewin', and old Cap'n Cy your granddad snoozin' in that big armchair Why! why, whit! it's the very image of the chair he always set in!" Captain Cy laughed aloud. 'Twas up attic, all busted and crippled, but I had it made over like new.
So he lay awake nights thinking of possible housekeepers for Captain Cy, and carefully rejecting all those possessing dangerous attractions of any kind. Each morning, after breakfast, he ran over the list with the captain, taking care that Asaph was not present. Captain Cy, who was very busy with the finishing touches at the new old house, wearied on the third morning.
This was piling one insult upon another. Other children as brilliant as Bos'n! Captain Cy was bursting with righteous indignation. "Well!" he exclaimed. "Well! for a teacher that we've called to " "And that's another thing," broke in Miss Dawes quickly. "I've been told that you, Cap'n Whittaker, are the one directly responsible for my being chosen for this place.
A drop of perspiration shone on his high forehead, and the veins of his big, white hands stood out as he clutched the arms of his chair. The monument was tottering on its base. "It's a dirty mess, the whole of it," continued Captain Cy.
Now you, my daughter" the lustreless eyes again sought Rita's flushed face "are vivid intensely vital. If you can succeed in resigning yourself to the hypnosis induced your experiences will be delightful. Trust your Uncle Cy." Leaving Rita chatting with Miss Gretna, Kilfane took Pyne aside, offering him a cigarette from an ornate, jewelled case.
"What they don't know won't hurt 'em any," declared Captain Cy. And Emily's answer to inquiring souls who would fain have delved into her past was to the effect that "Uncle Cyrus" didn't like to have her talk about herself. "I don't know's I'm ashamed of anything I've done so far," said the captain; "but I ain't braggin', either. Time enough to talk when I send her back to Betsy."
"Mornin', Georgianna," said Captain Cy to his housekeeper as the latter unlocked the back door of the Whittaker house next morning. "I'm a little ahead of you this time." Miss Taylor, being Bayport born and bred, was an early riser.
Simpson, who shrank back as if he feared that the treatment accorded the "poor weak invalid" might be continued with him. "Knowles," said Captain Cy, turning to the moderator, "let me speak, will you? I won't be but a minute. Friends," he continued, facing the excited gathering "for some of you are my friends, or I've come to think you are a part of what this man says is so.
He looked at Cy James as if he had a mind to bite his nose off as a mere beginning. "Now, Hollyday Hicks, you and Billy Hooper and the other constables take away this box, which smells too loud here, as soon as the witness has sworn to it. When did you last see this box, James?"
I wish he was home to run things himself, but he's got business down South there some property he owns or somethin' and says he can't leave. But we must win! By mighty! we've GOT to. So get every vote you can. Never mind how; just get 'em, that's all." Captain Cy was thoroughly enjoying himself. The struggle suited him to perfection.
