"Phelps!" snapped Annette, "don't be silly. Mrs. Dott understands what I meant to say. The place is very nice, very attractive, indeed. Perhaps some might think it a bit old-fashioned, but that is a matter of taste." "Humph! it's on the best street in town. As for being old-fashioned I thought you just said you loved old-fashioned things. That's what she said, wasn't it, Dan?" Mrs.
We must take a carriage." "A carriage? A hack, you mean. What do we want to do that for?" "Because it's what everyone does." "No, they don't. Look at all the folks on that electric now. Besides, we " "Hi there!" shouted the conductor of the car angrily. "Brace up! Get a move on, will you?" Mrs. Dott regarded him with dignity. "We're not coming," she said. "You can go right along."
I've been with Zuby for most three weeks steady now; that's the longest stretch we've had in a good many years. We ain't quarreled once, neither." He seemed to consider the fact remarkable. Captain Dott grinned. "I suppose that shuttin' her up in the dish closet wasn't what you'd call a quarrel, hey?" he observed. Mr. Ginn was momentarily embarrassed. "Oh, that!" he exclaimed. "Humph!
I left a party on board the Indiaman to repair damages, and my surgeon to assist the wounded men, and hauled off the brig and schooner. The latter I gave into the charge of Tommy Dott, and we all made sail. As I was walking the quarter-deck, delighted with my success, Cross, who had the watch and was by my side, said, "I think, Captain Keene, you did very right in hoisting French colours."
Doane, partially dressed, his coat collar turned up to hide the absence of linen, was already at the head of the stairs, and descending. "Coming, Captain Dott," he said. "For me, is it?" "Yes. A telegram for you. What good land, Gertie! you up, too?" Gertrude, in kimono and cap, was leaning over the rail. "What is it?" she asked quickly. John announced, "A wire for me," he said.
The shouts of laughter from the library could be heard in the parlor, and Serena grew nervous. "Your husband must be very entertaining," said Mrs. Fenholtz. "I haven't heard Mr. Fenholtz laugh so heartily in a long time." Mrs. Dott was fearful that Daniel might be making himself ridiculous. She didn't mention her fears.
Dott is completely spoiled yet, but she will be soon, I'm afraid, unless I can make her realize that she is beginning all wrong here in Scarford. If she could only have gone to the Woman's Club first I think she might understand, but now I'm afraid it's too late." She mounted the platform with fear and trembling. She left it exalted and triumphant.
The next day I commenced accordingly, under the tuition of the master, and as I had not Tommy Dott to play with, I gave satisfaction, and continued to do so until our arrival at Port Royal, when the captain went up to the admiral's, stating all the particulars of the action, and, by way of sequel, my adventures on board of the pirate vessel.
"At Portsmouth, Captain Delmar." "Very well; tell him to come round as fast as he can. By the bye, you will have two of your old messmates Mr Smith, the master, and Mr Dott. I hope the latter is a little more steady than he was. I was in hopes to have had your old acquaintance, Mr Culpepper, with us; but he died about six weeks back a fit, or something of that kind."
It is a good thing," she added, addressing the occupants of the carriage in general, "for these husbands of ours to be shown occasionally what their wives are capable of. Phelps, give Mrs. Dott your arm." The largest room, that which Mrs. Black dignified by the title of "Assembly Hall," was partially filled when they entered.
