Helena, with tongues much longer than their purses; who in the forepart of the day condescended to talk nonsense to the fairer of the other sex, and in the evening to win a few pounds from the weaker of their own. But all these were nobodies in the eyes of Captain. Drawlock; they were a part of his cargo, for which he was not responsible.
Believe me, Miss Revel, I feel most sincerely for your situation; and, if it were not considered an impertinent question, I should ask you what may be your present intentions?" "Acquainted as you are with all the circumstances, Mr Forster, the question is not impertinent, but kind. God knows that I require an adviser. I would, if possible, conceal the facts from Captain Drawlock.
"The Asia has made the signal for 'a strange sail suspicious," said the second mate to Captain Drawlock, putting his head into the cabin. "Very well, Mr Jones, keep a glass upon the commodore." "Mrs Ferguson, will you take some of this tart! Damascene, I believe," said the first mate. "If you please, Mr Mathews. Did not Mr Jones say 'suspicious? What does that imply?"
"I feel the kindness and the delicacy of your conduct, Mr Forster; and I will candidly acknowledge, that, could I accept it, there is no one to whom I would more cheerfully be under an obligation; but the world will not permit it." "What shall I do, Miss Revel? shall I go for Captain Drawlock?" "Stay a little while; I wish to reflect.
"No not without a friend; but what avails a friend whose assistance I could not accept? It is to Captain Drawlock, therefore, that I must apply, and, painful as it may be, throw myself upon his generosity; for that reason I wished to see him. He may advise some means by which I may obtain a passage home.
Much to the satisfaction of Captain Drawlock, the chronometers and the ladies were safe on board, and the Bombay Castle proceeded to the Downs, where she was joined by the purser, charged with despatches of the august directors. Once upon a time a director was a very great man, and the India board a very great board.
"No, I thank you, Captain Drawlock," replied Isabel. "Did you say yes or no?" inquired Newton, who had caught her eye. "I'll change my mind," said Isabel, smiling. Now, I know it for a fact, although I shall not give up my authority, that Isabel Revel never wanted any chicken until she perceived that Newton was to help her.
"Mr Forster," said Isabel, as soon as Captain Drawlock was out of hearing, "I am sure, by your countenance, that there has been something unpleasant. Is it not so?" "I am sorry to answer in the affirmative, and more sorry to be forced to impart the cause." Newton then entered into a detail of what had passed at the colonel's house. Isabel listened to it with attention, her sisters with impatience.
"No, I thank you, Captain Drawlock," replied Isabel. "Did you say yes or no?" inquired Newton, who had caught her eye. "I'll change my mind," said Isabel, smiling. Now, I know it for a fact, although I shall not give up my authority, that Isabel Revel never wanted any chicken until she perceiveth that Newton was to help her.
Let the colonel come here for me and take me home with him, and then I will remain there until I can return to England; if not, I will submit to any privation, to any honest humiliation, rather than enter under his roof. But, indeed, Mr Forster, it is necessary that Captain Drawlock should be summoned. We are here alone: it is not correct: you must feel that it is not."
