Curtis and Dowlas were consulted, and after a short conversation, during which they kept throwing bits of rope and spars into the water in order to entice the sharks to remain by the raft, Dowlas went and fetched his carpenter's tool, which is at once a hatchet and a hammer.
"If Master Dowlas wants to know the truth on it," said Mr. Macey, with a sarcastic smile, tapping his thumbs together, "he's no call to lay any bet let him go and stan' by himself there's nobody 'ull hinder him; and then he can let the parish'ners know if they're wrong." "Thank you! I'm obliged to you," said the farrier, with a snort of scorn. "If folks are fools, it's no business o' mine.
But, lack-a-day, your Grace knows I am as old as I am trusty, and that my eyes wax something uncertain." "Especially when you wash them with a cup of canary, Dame Dowlas," answered the Duke, who was aware that temperance was not amongst the cardinal virtues which were most familiar to the old lady's practice. "Was it canary, your Grace said?
I know nothing for certain as to what Curtis did, and I did not venture to inquire; but of the others, Falsten, Dowlas, the boatswain, and all the rest, I know that, to assuage their cravings, they consented to reduce themselves to the level of beasts of prey; they were transformed from human beings into ravenous brutes.
"But I don't want you to lay down your life. I want Dowlas." "And you sall haf Dowlas to-morra. An' to-night you sall haf de Italian maid." "Well, I suppose I must," said Minnie, resignedly. "Miladi," said Girasole, turning to Mrs. Willoughby, "I am ver sorry for dis leetle accommodazion. De room where you mus go is de one where I haf put de man dat try to safe you. He is tied fast.
I don't want to make out the truth about ghos'es: I know it a'ready. But I'm not against a bet everything fair and open. Let any man bet me ten pound as I shall see Cliff's Holiday, and I'll go and stand by myself. I want no company. I'd as lief do it as I'd fill this pipe." "Ah, but who's to watch you, Dowlas, and see you do it? That's no fair bet," said the butcher. "No fair bet?" replied Mr.
But the words of the unhappy youth had no other effect than to increase the fury of the men who were so stanchly bent upon their bloody purpose. "Come, come, no more fuss," said Dowlas, as he tore the young man away from his father's embrace.
But Owen made a sidelong movement to avoid the blow, and the weapon caught Wilson full in the chest. The unfor- tunate man rolled over the side of the raft and instantly dis- appeared. "Save him! save him!" shouted the boatswain. "It's too late; he's dead! " said Dowlas. "Ah, well! he'll do for " began the boatswain; but he did not finish his sentence.
"What do you say to that, eh, Dowlas?" said the landlord, turning to the farrier, who was swelling with impatience for his cue. "There's a nut for you to crack." Mr. Dowlas was the negative spirit in the company, and was proud of his position. "Say? I say what a man should say as doesn't shut his eyes to look at a finger-post.
"Se sall be your own maid. I haf sent for her." "What, my own maid? Dowlas?" "I am ver sorry, but it is not dat one. It is anoder an Italian." "Well, I think that is very unkind, when you know I can't speak a word of the language. But you always do all you can to tease me. I wish I had never seen you." Girasole looked hurt. "Charming mees," said he, "I will lay down my life for you."
