"Will the Beagle course be any the safer for that?" "I can't say 'twill, sir," is the answer, in like undertone. "Tho' it won't be any worse. Guess the danger's 'bout equil eytherways." "What danger?" questions young Gancy, who has overheard the ugly word. "O' the gig gettin' bilged, Mister Ed'ard," is the ready, but not truthful, rejoinder.
He was ready for the larger ration Wesley held in his hand. Wesley held the temptation in his hand until he had lured the dog into a large closet communicating with the bedroom by a locked door. Once in, the door was shut, and the young man sank on a seat in a thrill of grateful relief. "That danger's over," he muttered. "Now to see who is in the upper rooms."
Thou subject are to cold o'nights, When darkness is thy covering; At days thy danger's great by kites, How can'st thou then sit there and sing? Thy food is scarce and scanty too, 'Tis worms and trash which thou dost eat; Thy present state I pity do, Come, I'll provide thee better meat. I'll feed thee with white bread and milk, And sugar plums, if them thou crave.
"Thet's pretty fair, as far as it goes," he said smilingly, "but I reckon it wouldn't go far ef you started to run. I've got a simpler game than that, gentlemen, and ez we're all friends here, and the danger's over, I don't mind tellin' ye. The first thing these yer road agents do, after they've covered the driver with their shot guns, is to make the passengers get out and hold up their hands.
But he can't be always waiting at home all day long with double-barrelled guns, and all his young fellows and the overseer that ought to be at their work among their cattle or sheep on the run idling their time away. No, he soon gets sick of that, and either sends his family away to town till the danger's past, or he 'chances it', as people do about a good many things in the country.
In him two men were constantly warring, the Irishman, eager for romance yet too indolent to go out in search of it, and the Englishman, cautious yet intensely vital withal, courting danger for danger's sake. All his ill-humor of the morning at being snatched away from his work in France had evaporated.
No concerted attempt was made by the roughs to avenge the execution of their comrades. Whether they realized that such an attempt would be likely to solidify the decent element, or whether that sort of warfare was not their habit, the afternoon and night wore away without trouble. "Danger's over," announced Johnny the following morning. "What next?" I asked. "We'll go up to town," said Johnny.
Well, well, for your sake I will forgive the Socman and take vengeance on none but on my own wilful self who must needs run into danger's path. So will that please you, sir?" "There spoke your true self," said he; "and you will find more pleasure in such forgiveness than in any vengeance."
"You don't know how I felt when I found myself caught down there, and couldn't get away. I thought that was just all." "Bring her up-stairs, Stanley," called Jean. "Mother's telephoning to Dr. Gallup, but I suppose the danger's all past now. Kit, you big goose, what did you ever go in that boat alone for? The minute you're left alone, you're always up to something.
"Ye mariners of England, That guard our native seas, Whose flag has braved a thousand years, The battle and the breeze. "Britannia needs no bulwarks, No towers along the steep, Her march is on the mountain waves, Her home is on the deep. "The meteor flag of England! Shall yet terrific burn, Till Danger's troubled night depart, And the Star of Peace return."
