Well, mum, why don't you go, or send Pitapat?" "Major Warfield, sir, I'm very sorry, but Miss Black has not come in yet," said Mrs. Condiment, who for the last half hour had suffered extreme anxiety upon account of Capitola. "Not come in yet! Demmy, mum!
"Sure, uncle, that's nothing new; I have shaken hands with you often enough!" "Demmy, you you you New York trash, what do you mean by that?" "Of course I mean, uncle, that you are as rough a ruffian as ever Donald Bayne was!" "Demmy, I'll murder you!"
Old Hurricane turned abruptly around and favored his nephew with a severe, scrutinizing gaze, demanding: "Herbert, have you been drinking so early in the morning? Demmy, sir, this is not the season for mint juleps before breakfast! Is that great, stout, round-bodied, red-faced old Doctor Williams a little woman? I see him sitting on the right of Miss Day. I didn't refer to him!
"Demmy, she'd jump out of the window and break her neck! or hang herself with her garters! or starve herself to death! You don't know what an untamable thing she is. Some birds, if caged, beat themselves to death against the bars of their prison. She is just such a wild bird as that."
"If I were to object, you'd get married all the same! Demmy! you're both of age. Do as you please!" "Thank you, sir," said Cap, demurely. "And now, Cap, one thing is to be noticed. Herbert says, both in your letter and in mine, that they were to start to return the day after these letters were posted. These letters have been delayed in the mail. Consequently we may expect our hero here every day.
Am I a man to give way to emotion? Demmy, sir, mind what you say!" roared the old lion, getting up and shaking himself free of all weaknesses. "I merely meant to say, sir, that if I could possibly be of any service to you I am entirely at your orders." "Then go back to that woman and tell her never to dare to utter, or even to think of, my name again, if she values her life!"
Condiment, mum!" said Old Hurricane, suddenly stopping before the poor old woman, in angry scorn. "Indeed, I'm sure if I'd known it was Black Donald, I'd no more have suffered him inside of my tent than I would Satan!" "Demmy, mum, you had Satan there as well! Who but Satan could have tempted you all to disregard me, your lawful lord and master, as you every one of you did for that wretch's sake!
I shall never have the chance to be cruel to you again never! You'll perish in this terrible storm and then and then my tough old heart will break! It will it will, Cap! But demmy, before it does, I'll break the necks of every man and woman, in this house, old and young! Hear it, heaven and earth, for I'll do it!" All things must have an end.
You are heartily welcome," exclaimed the old man, thrusting out his rugged hand and seizing the bronzed one of the youth. "Sit down, sir, sit down. Good Lord, how like!" he added, mentally. Then, seeing the young sailor still standing, blushing and hesitating, he struck his cane upon the floor and roared out: "Demmy, sit down, sir! When Ira Warfield says sit down, he means sit down!"
You venture to stand there before my face and tell me composedly that you permitted Miss Black to go off alone in the face of such a storm as this?" roared Old Hurricane. "Sir, I could not help it!" said the old lady. "Demmy, mum! You should have helped it! A woman of your age to stand there and tell me that she could not prevent a young creature like Capitola from going out alone in the storm!"
