That's the young fellow that Blackbeard dressed up in a cocked hat and took away with him." "I am the same person, sir," said Dickory. "So far so good," said Captain Ichabod. "I am very glad that I did not bring down my cutlass on you, which I should have done, bedad, had it not been for this young woman." Now up spoke Mr. Delaplaine.
Delaplaine, "you go in search of the Badger and Captain Vince? That can never " "But remember, uncle," cried Kate, "it is just as likely that I shall meet my father's ship as any other, and then we can snap our fingers at all orders and all captains.
Delaplaine was pale, and for a moment he hesitated, then, with a sudden jerk, he nerved himself to the effort and read on; he had seen enough to make him understand that the duty before him was to read on. Briefly and tersely, but with tears in the very ink, so sad were the words, the writer assured Mr.
"Captain Ichabod," exclaimed Mr. Delaplaine, holding Dickory by the hand, "this is one of the two persons you were taking us to find. This is Dickory Charter, the son of good Dame Charter, now on your vessel. He went away with Blackbeard, and we were in search of him." "Oho!" cried Captain Ichabod, "by my life I believe it.
"Not a bit queerer than boys," spoke up Judy. "Well, see if the present game does not prove them so," said Norton. "What'll you do with Stewart's and a dressmaker, Hatty Delaplaine?" "Don't you see? I'd never wear the same dress twice, and I wouldn't have the same for breakfast or luncheon or dinner; and I would have the most beautiful dresses that ever were seen."
Delaplaine an hour later, "this son of yours should be a great credit and pride to you, and he will be, I stake my word upon it." "He is now," said the good woman quietly. "I have been pondering in my brain," said he, "what I should do to relieve my niece of this burden of anxiety which is weighing upon her.
Delaplaine, who was a man of honour expecting it in others, made up his mind that something decisive must soon be said; while Kate began greatly to fear that something decisive might soon be said. She was in a difficult position. She was not engaged to Martin Newcombe, but had believed she might be. The whole affair involved a question which she did not want to consider.
Delaplaine, had been persuaded to devote a portion of their valuable time to rehabilitating Greenacre Farm. It took tact and persuasion to induce the aforesaid gentlemen to desert their favorite chairs on the little stoop in front of Byers' Grocery Store, and approach anything resembling daily toil.
I'm going to the town now and I'll row out to you this afternoon and get your instructions." And with this he got over the side. Mr. Delaplaine said nothing of this visit, but waited on deck until the captain came on board, and then many were the questions he asked about the pirate Ichabod. "Well, well!" the captain exclaimed, "that's just like him; he's a rare one.
This is what I have been thinking about, dear uncle, and do you not agree with me?" High rose the spirits of the good Mr. Delaplaine; banished was all the overhanging blackness of his dreaded interview with Kate. The sky was bright, her soul was singing songs of joy and thankfulness, and his soul might join her.
