"Captain I beg your pardon Mr McElvina," replied Debriseau with dignity, "I will be as honest as you.
He was a complete roue, and I must gratefully own that I learnt a great deal from him, independently of the secret of tying my neckcloth correctly; but we soon parted." "How was that?" said Debriseau, knocking the ashes out of his pipe. "Why, he had several diamond rings, and as he only wore two or three at a time, I sported the others at our parties.
With dauntless hardihood And brandish'd blade rush on him, And shed the luscious liquor on the ground, ...though he and his cursed crew Fierce sign of battle make, and menace high. The information received from Mr Hardsett induced our hero to break off his conversation with Debriseau, and he immediately quitted the hut.
"He will be fit for anything," rejoined our captain, "if he will only be honest." "McElvina," said Debriseau, "you always have these words in your mouth, `be honest. Now, as, between ourselves, I do not think that either you or I are leading very honest lives, allow me to ask you why you continually harp upon honesty when we are alone?
Supported by Hardsett, she tottered to the spot where Seymour lay, with his eyes closed, faint and exhausted with loss of blood, attended by Robinson and Debriseau. She knelt down by his side, and taking his hand, which she pressed between her own, called him by his name.
That McElvina, who had no idea of meeting him in such a quarter, should not, in the hurry of the scene, distinguish his former associate, covered as he was with dust and blood, and having the appearance more of a New Zealand warrior than of any other living being, was not surprising and Debriseau joined the English party in the rear of the cavalcade, and remained with them at the town, while McElvina and the rest of the cortege continued their route to the castle, with the wounded Seymour.
"That's very true," said Debriseau; "but, nevertheless, I wish mademoiselle's puppy were either taught manners or thrown over the quay." "Ce n'est pas un chien de sentiment," replied McElvina, laughing. "But it is nearly dark. Allons au cabaret."
I'll stake my existence that every female there shall be disened out in some contraband article of dress not one but shall prove to be a receiver of smuggled goods, and, therefore, as bad as those whom they have instigated to infringe the laws of their country. If there were no demand there would be no supply." "Surely they don't all drink gin?" replied Debriseau. "Drink gin!
"Judge, then, Debriseau," pursued he, "if, after what has passed, I could `honestly' say that I was glad to see you who not only, by your presence, reminded me of my former irregularities, but had the means, if you thought proper, of acquainting my friends and acquaintances with what I wish I could forget myself."
Tell Mr Beaujou, the slopseller, to come here directly with some clothes for him. Is Captain Debriseau here?" "He is, sir, lost all his last cargo obliged to throw over in deep water." "Never mind: he ran the two before he can afford it." "Ah, but Captain Debriseau is in a very bad humour, nevertheless. He called me an old cheat this morning c'est incroyable."
