"There, lads," he said, closing the door with a snap; "you didn't think to tell me to bring that, but I thought of it, and there we are. Now we can see what we're about," he continued, as he swung the lanthorn above his head; "and not much to see nayther. Only an 'ole. Yes, of course. There you are. Sheep's bones. Dessay many a one's tumbled down here.
They were the last o' the old-time redskin hunters. Dessay they were the last to hunt the buffalo into the drives. They're pretty fine men now, I guess, as neches go, but they ain't nothin' to what they was. I guess that don't figger anyway, but they're different from most Injuns, which is what I was coming to. Their chief ain't a 'brave, same as most, which, I 'lows, is unusual.
Then thinking, I dessay, that absence makes the heart grow fonder, he went to sea again and put in a spell of two months about the Group; and when he got back he dressed up in his best with a red silk handkerchief around his neck, sailor fashion, and a crimson sash and patent-leather shoes, and the rest of him white drill, and went a-calling on the Mission house to see if he couldn't break into society again.
"I wonder if there's anything to open one of these tins of corned beef?" After he had feasted, Bert lit a cigarette and sat meditative for a time. "Wonder where Grubb is?" he said; "I do wonder that! Wonder if any of 'em wonder about me?" He reverted to his own circumstances. "Dessay I shall 'ave to stop on this island for some time."
"Oh, Master Ralph," he cried, "if your father had been here, we should ha' paid them Edens for hanging back as they did." "They did not hang back," cried Ralph angrily; "they fought very bravely." "What!" cried Nick. "Well, I do like that. But I don't care. Dessay I shall be a dead 'un 'fore I gets to the Castle, and then we shall see what Sir Morton will say."
"Plainer," ses Sam. "But I tell you we come straight 'ome," ses Ginger, "and we've been waiting for you 'ere ever since." Mr. Goodman shook his 'ead at 'im. "Say no more about it," he ses, in a kind voice. "I dessay it's rather tiresome for young men to go about with two old ones, and in future, if you and Peter keep together, me and my friend Mr. Small will do the same."
Wilks was aboard ship with 'im for a very long time. O' course, he oughtn't to ha' done it, but the cap'n's a masterful man, an' I can quite understand Mr. Wilks givin' way; I dessay I should myself if I'd been in 'is place he's all 'art, is Mr. Wilks no 'ead." "It's a good job for you you're an old man, Sam," said Mr. Nugent. "I can hardly believe it of you, Sam," said Miss Nugent.
The man repeated his remark. "Well, I dessay there was," said Bessie "I dessay there was. I s'pose there's plenty of 'em. Where do I get 'em? why, I get 'em at Bedford, of course, when I goes for my money." She looked round defiantly. No one said anything; but everybody instinctively suspected a lie. The sudden silence was striking.
Dessay Peters thought red-haired Sally would look well trailing round as a countess in a gold-hemmed dress. The baronet took the money, but wanted some more, and lit out the same night with Lou of the Sapin Rouge saloon." "I should hardly expect all that from our acquaintance of this morning, but I am disappointed, though I'm sure I don't know why I should be," said Helen Savine.
Wot you goin' to call it, if it's a boy?" "John, of course!" said Eleanor. "Um-m-m. Well, I suppose you'll 'ave to, after 'is father, but if I 'ad a son I'd call 'im Perceval. I dunno why! I just would. It sounds nice some'ow. I mean it 'as a nice sound. Only people 'ud call 'im Perce, of course, an' that would be 'orrible. I dessay you're right.
