"You won't shoot me, gentlemen?" "No, man, of course not." "Nor you, Mr Small," pleaded Billy. "Lookye here, Billy Widgeon," growled the boatswain, "if you don't do your dooty like a man, and chuck them there blazing sticks right into the back o' that there hole, I'm blest if I don't."
It was within this place that the leather cases containing the travellers' clothes and various necessaries had been placed, and over one of these open portmanteaus the dimly seen figure was bending, and from the slight noises he made it was evident that he was ransacking the case in search of something. "Oh," thought Sam excitedly, "that's why I couldn't sleep sort o' warning like to do my dooty.
Ginger was getting marked all over, but he stuck, to 'is man, and the two dock policemen, wot 'ad put their money on Bill Lumm, began to talk of their dooty, and say as 'ow the fight ought to be stopped. At the tenth round Bill couldn't see out of 'is eyes, and kept wasting 'is strength on the empty air, and once on the referee.
And whenever I see as he was getting tired I just said, 'H'sh! and 'e'd start agin as fresh as ever. He tumbled to it at last, and went aboard shaking 'is little fist at me and telling me wot he'd do to me if it wasn't for the lor. "I kept by the gate as soon as I came on dooty next evening, just to give 'im a little smile as 'e went out.
This same Miss Tippet is some sort of a relation o' Mr Auberly, who sent me to her with a note, and she has sent me with another note to her brother near London Bridge, who, I s'pose, will send me with another note to somebody else, so I'm on my way down to see him. I thought I'd look in to ask after you in passin', and cheer you on to dooty."
Halted at Secoba, in order to refresh the sick; bought plenty of fowls and milk for them. June 26th. Departed from Secoba, accompanied by the Dooty and several people. Hired three of the Dooty's friends, as guides to Kandy, in that district of Fooladoo called Gangaran. About seven miles East of Secoba came to the village of Konkromo, where we pitched our tents by the river side.
"Perhaps I did," said the boy huskily, "because I felt I ought to as a soldier, and it was dooty; but 'tain't a soldier's dooty to get torn to pieces by wolves. Ugh! It's horrid, and I can't bear it." "Come on, Punch. I am going." "No, don't! I say, pray don't, comrade!" cried the boy passionately; and he caught at Pen's arm and clung to it with all his might.
"Yes, worse luck," replied Sam, thrusting his powerful hands into his pockets. "Why so, Sam, you ain't used to mind night dooty?" "No more I do," said Sam testily, "but my missus is took bad, and there's no one to look after her properly for that old 'ooman we got ain't to be trusted. 'Tis a hard thing to have to go on night dooty when a higher dooty bids me stay at home."
"'Sometimes, I ses; 'but it's my dooty. "'Yes, she ses. 'Yes, of course. But you're a big, strong man, and you can put up with things better. "She gave a little sigh, and we walked up and down for a time without saying anything. "'And it's all father's foolishness, she ses, at last; 'that's wot makes it so tiresome. I can't help a pack of silly young men writing to me, can I?
Pore John is a helpless cretur, God bless him. So no more from your servant in all dooty, Leonard laid down this letter very calmly, and, except by a slight heaving at his breast, and a deathlike whiteness of his lips, the emotions he felt were undetected. And it is a proof how much exquisite goodness there was in his heart that the first words he spoke were, "Thank Heaven!"
