After Master Diggory had discussed the chances of a voyage to the low countries, or another trip to the Mediterranean, Reuben, who had been silently listening to him, said: "Well, Cousin Diggory, to tell you the truth, I have been turning over a project that seems to me to offer a chance of greater profit, though I deem it not without risk.
I always thought of getting to that place again if I changed at all, and now I am there." "How did you manage to become white, Diggory?" Thomasin asked. "I turned so by degrees, ma'am." "You look much better than ever you did before." Venn appeared confused; and Thomasin, seeing how inadvertently she had spoken to a man who might possibly have tender feelings for her still, blushed a little.
Hawley and Gull, though not found guilty on this particular count, were hustled and abused for their former misdeeds, which it was perfectly evident would be remembered against them during the remainder of their life at Ronleigh. As for Diggory and his two chums, never were three small boys made so much of before. "What was the cipher?"
After his Trenchard, Jefferson turned himself loose in all sorts of parts, from Diggory to Mazeppa, a famous burlesque, which he did to a turn, imitating the mock heroics of the feminine horse marines, so popular in the equestrian drama of the period, Adah Isaacs Menken, the beautiful and ill-fated, at their head.
"I thought you went down the slope," he said, without noticing her face. "How do you come back here again?" "Diggory?" said Thomasin faintly. "Who are you?" said Venn, still unperceiving. "And why were you crying so just now?" "O, Diggory! don't you know me?" said she. "But of course you don't, wrapped up like this. What do you mean? I have not been crying here, and I have not been here before."
Down fell bag, money, and all, and Diggory stood gaping and astounded for a moment, then proceeded to grope after the coins on his hands and knees. Suddenly a voice exclaimed, "How now, knave, stealing thy mistress's goods?" and a tall, grim, steeple-hatted figure, armed with a formidable halberd, stood over him. "Good master corporal," he began, trembling; but the soldier would not hear him.
"It's all very well," said Jack Vance to Diggory, when late on in the afternoon he happened to come across the latter flattening his nose against the glass of the box-room window "it's all very well talking about writing and all that; but this is the end of the Triple Alliance." "Yes," answered Diggory, after a moment's thought, "I suppose it is.
Then I saw Diggory Venn, and was glad to get him to take me home. I cannot explain it any better, and you must be angry with me if you will." "I shall see about that," said Mrs.
"Aunt only objected because he was a reddleman." "Well, Thomasin, perhaps I don't know all the particulars of my mother's wish. So you had better use your own discretion." "You will always feel that I slighted your mother's memory." "No, I will not. I shall think you are convinced that, had she seen Diggory in his present position, she would have considered him a fitting husband for you.
"I'm not afraid of the Philistines; besides, they won't see us now." As they drew near to Horace House, a solitary figure was discovered standing in the shadow of the brick wall. "It's young Noaks," whispered Diggory. "It's too late to turn back, but most likely he won't notice us in this light if we walk straight on."
