"If you're not out of gunshot in five minutes," Roger cried, "I'll train the long gun and blow you clean out of water." Without more ado they rowed slowly away, growing smaller and smaller, until at last they passed out of sight round the point. "Ah me," sighed Neddie Benson, "I'm glad they're gone. It's funny Falk ain't quite a light man nor yet a real dark man." "Gone!" Davie repeated ominously.
Mistah Falk, he am cap'n Lo'd have mercy on us! Dat Kipping, he am chief mate Lo'd have mercy on us mis'able sinners! Davie Paine, he am second mate Lo'd perserve ou' souls! Ah guess you don't know what Ah heah Mistah Falk say to stew'd! He says, 'Stew'd, we got ev'ything ev'ything. And we ain't broke a single law! Now tell me what he mean by dat? What's stew'd got, Ah want to know?
"Don't 'ee, Davie, don't 'ee, dearie!" cried Mrs. Moore, much distressed. And taking him to her she talked to the great, sobbing boy as though he were a child. At length he lifted his face and looked up; and, seeing the white, wan countenance of his dear comforter, was struck with tender remorse that he had given way and pained her, who looked so frail and thin herself.
The captain was fully aware of this fact, but he winked at it, for there was nothing but friendly feeling on board the ship, and no secrets. When, however, matters of serious import had to be discussed, the cabin door was closed, and Mivins turned to expend himself on Davie Summers, who, in the capacity of a listener, was absolutely necessary to the comfortable existence of the worthy steward.
Pepper, remembering how, the day before, Joel, had run down to the brook, and been gone for hours, following along its course, never coming home till dinner-time. "Get Phronsie ready, and Davie and yourself. But I'm sorry for Joey to lose the treat," she said sadly. "So'm I," said Abram's mother, "an' Mis' Beebe'll feel dreadful bad.
"If you please, sir, " it was Davie, and a different Davie from the one we had known before, "if you please, sir, ain't you goin' to read the service and say the words?" I turned and stared at Davie in amazement. His voice was sharper now than ever I had heard it and there was a challenge in his eyes as well. "What?" Falk snapped out angrily.
Andrew saw a look on her face that amazed and troubled him: and yet when she sat so hopelessly down before the fire, and without fear or apology "Let the tears downfa'," he had no heart to reprove her. Nay, he asked with a very unusual concern, "What's the matter, Mysie, woman?" "I want to see Davie, and die, gudeman!"
Ye'll ne'er learn younger, I'll be your caution. Haggie-holm is heavy land, and Davie is ower auld to keep the coulter down now." "I beg pardon for interrupting you, sir, but I have formed a scheme for myself, which will have the same effect of relieving you of the burden and charge attending my company." "Ay?
And surely if you will gae, you'll no leave an auld body like me wi'out some sma' income. You that's got siller." "I hae nae mair than I want. But I'll ask Davie to do what he thinks he can do for you; seeing that you are my fayther's sister. Puir fayther! I hope he doesna ken how hard you hae been on me." "You sall not go! I'll no be left my lane " "I tell you, aunt, I am going in the morning.
"If they were here to-night, Davie oot on the dark sea tossed up and down pulling in the nets or lines wi' freezing hands hungry, anxious, fearfu' o' death wad we wish it?" "Na, na, na, Maggie! Where they are noo, the light doesna fade, and the heart doesna fail, and the full cup never breaks. I dinna doot, but we sall get just the word we are needing."
