"We will come to the question of my leaving Dimchurch presently," he said. "Have you received a letter from Oscar?" "Yes." "Have you read it?" "I have read it." "Then you know that we understand each other?" "I know that your brother has sacrificed himself and that you have taken a base advantage of the sacrifice." He started, and looked round at me once more.
His dislike and distrust of the rector, in particular, knew no bounds: he characterized the Pope of Dimchurch as an Ape with a long tongue, and a man-and-monkey capacity for doing mischief. Ramsgate was the watering-place which he had fixed on. It was at a safe distance from Dimchurch; and it was near enough to London to enable him to visit Lucilla frequently.
"May I ask what your object is in honoring me with this visit?" "I have two objects. The first is to see that you leave Dimchurch to-morrow morning. The second is to make you restore your brother to his promised wife." He looked round at me quickly. His experience of my irritable temper had not prepared him for the perfect composure of voice and manner with which I answered his question.
This letter was delivered at luncheon-time almost at the moment when the servant had announced to her mistress that Miss Finch was nowhere to be found, and that her traveling-bag had disappeared from her room.

One of the elder sailors said that in all his experience he had never known but three or four cases of men being promoted from the deck except when old warrant officers were made mates and appointed to revenue cutters.” “Thank Dimchurch very heartily for me, Tom, and tell him that I hope we shall sail many years together, although it may be in different parts of the ship.
But how will it end between Madame Pratolungo and me? She has not answered the letter I wrote to her. I don't know when she will return or if she will ever return, to live at Dimchurch again.
I could put up with it if that were so, but it would be awful if we were separated; for even if one saw a chance for escape he could not let the others know.” “You may be sure, Dimchurch, that whatever opportunity I might see I would not avail myself of it unless I could take you both off with me.” “The same here, sir,” Dimchurch said; and the words were echoed by Tom.
We can then talk over matters comfortably.” Before dinner was over, the lad was more than satisfied with his new chief, and felt sure that at any rate the cruise would be a pleasant one.
