What would Miss Dusante think? I had almost arranged to take dancing lessons of her. Think of Mr. Holway. Is there a young man like him in Trumet? Think of Cousin Percy!" That was quite enough. Serena rose, her eyes flashing. "Stop!" she cried. "Stop this minute! Gertrude Dott, your father and I are going back to Trumet and you are going with us." "Oh, no, I'm not. Why, Cousin Percy "
The transaction completed, he returned to his chair. John Doane, who had recovered, in a measure, from his embarrassment, was ready for him. "Cap'n Dott," said the young man, "I know how you feel, I think. I know what Gertie is to you and how anxious you and her mother must be concerning her future.
"There's the master, Mr Smith, and the surgeon." "Well, Mr Dott, one must always make a virtue of necessity. Tell Mr Smith that I shall enter for the ship; and I'll put my name down at once, instead of being penned up here." "That's right, Cross; and I say, you chaps, you'd better follow a good example. Sentry, let this man go with me."
Captain Delmar was very furious at this want of respect of certain parties unknown, and had we been discovered, whatever might have been my fate, it would have gone hard with Tommy Dott; but we kept our own counsel, and escaped.
"Daniel," she cried, sharply and with increasing excitement; "Daniel Dott, what are you " The captain waved her to silence. She would have spoken in spite of it, but his second wave and shake of the head were so emphatic that she hesitated. Before the moment of hesitation was at an end Captain Dan himself began to speak. He spoke in a new tone now and more and more rapidly.
"Come in, John!" he shouted, in a roar which was heard even by deaf old Ebenezer Simpkins, driver of the depot wagon, who was just piloting his ancient steed from the Dott gate. "Come in, John!" roared Captain Dan. "There she is, in there, waitin' for you." And Mr. Doane came, you may be sure. Serena and Daniel waited in the dining-room. They were obliged to wait for some time.
Dott and Gertie to want to advance and and so on, I cal'late 'tain't silly for me either. Perhaps you'd like to have me tell Serena that you said she was silly. Shall I?" Daniel did not answer, but his look was answer sufficient. Azuba smiled triumphantly. "Practical," she sneered. "No, Cap'n Daniel, I ain't been practical so far, but I'm goin' to be. I'm a-goin' to be. You watch me."
I can't hardly realize it's my wife that's got it on. Walk around and let me take an observation. Whew! I always said you looked ten years younger than you are. THAT rig don't spell forty-five next January, Serena." Mrs. Dott sniffed. "Don't remind me of my age, Daniel," she protested. "It isn't necessary to tell everyone how old I am." "All right. Nobody'd guess it, anyhow.
Hungerford suggested hiring one or two professional musicians. "A violinist, or harpist, or both, perhaps," he said. "Music is always, as you say, a great addition to such affairs, Mrs. Dott. I happen to know of a young fellow who plays exceptionally well, and his sister is really a very accomplished performer on the harp. Of course they should be engaged in merely a professional capacity.
Bob Cross stepped over him, and hastened up to the lower deck, followed by Tommy Dott, who first, by way of revenge, jumped several times upon the purser's face and body before he climbed up. The cry of the purser had given the alarm. The master-at-arms hastened forward with his lantern just as Tommy had made his appearance above the coamings.
