I should have grieved greatly had I lost all those mementos that it took me nigh thirty years to gather, and those pieces of furniture that belonged to my father I would not have lost for any money. Truly, it has been a noble salvage." Mrs. Dowsett and Nellie now joined them.
Dowsett said, after the first greetings. "Not quite," Cyril agreed. "The new furniture, of course, gives it a different appearance as yet; but one will soon get accustomed to that, and you will quickly make it home-like again. I see you have the bits of furniture you saved in their old corners."
Others had noticed this peculiar habit of his, but not so Dowsett and Letton; and Daylight's secret thought was: "They sure wouldn't bat an eye if I called for a glass of corrosive sublimate." Leon Guggenhammer arrived in the midst of the drink, and ordered Scotch. Daylight studied him curiously.
Believe me, I will strive to give you as little trouble as possible, and to conform myself in all ways to your wishes." At this moment Nellie Dowsett came into the room. She was a pretty girl some eighteen years of age. "This is Cyril, your father's assistant, Nellie," her mother said. "You are welcome, Master Cyril. I have been wanting to see you.
Dowsett, next morning. "Yesterday he was quite free from fever his hands were cool; now they are dry and hard. If this goes on, I fear that we shall have great trouble." "He is worrying himself because we do not go out of town. We had, indeed, made up our minds to do so, but we could not leave him here."
Dowsett, however, was too much fatigued by her sleepless night and the troubles and emotions of the morning to care about going. Captain Dave said that he was too stiff to do anything but sit quiet and smoke a pipe, and that he would superintend the getting of their things on deck a little ship-shape.
Then he seated himself on a chair that Cyril had placed for him between Mrs. Dowsett and Nellie. Captain Dave whispered to John Wilkes, who went out, and returned in two or three minutes with three or four flasks of rare Spanish wine which the Captain had brought back on his last voyage, and kept for drinking on special occasions.
Dowsett sat quietly and waited, while Leon Guggenhammer struggled into articulation. "You have certainly raised Cain," he said. Daylight's black eyes flashed in a pleased way. "Didn't I, though!" he proclaimed jubilantly. "And didn't we fool'em! I was totally surprised. I never dreamed they would be that easy.
As you see yourself, you are to bull the market. The honest investor will be the gainer." "Yes, that's the very thing," Dowsett said. "The commercial need for copper is continually increasing. Ward Valley Copper, and all that it stands for, practically one-quarter of the world's supply, as I have shown you, is a big thing, how big, even we can scarcely estimate. Our arrangements are made.
The two apprentices at once retired. Cyril would have done the same, but Mistress Dowsett said, "Sit you still, Cyril. The Captain says that you are to be considered as one of the officers of the ship, and we shall be always glad to have you here, though of course you can always go up to your own room, or go out, when you feel inclined."
