Oh! very, very near that is I forget so much this evening why, not at all." It was at this moment Mr. Drewett saw fit to make his parting salutations with studied decorum, and to take his leave in a manner so polite, that, though tempted, I could not, just at the moment, stop the current of my feelings, to admire.
This Drewett soon discovered, for, advancing a step or two, he grasped the topping-lift, which luckily for him happened to be taut, for a support. All this occurred before there was time for remonstrance, or even for thought.
"What I did as a foolish girl you will forget; we were but children then, Miles." So Lucy did not wish me to remember certain passages in our earlier youth! Doubtless her present relations to Andrew Drewett rendered the recollection delicate, if not unpleasant. I thought this less like herself than was her wont Lucy, who was usually so simple-minded, so affectionate, so frank and so true.
Drewett's wet clothes were immediately removed, blankets were warmed at the galley, and the most judicious means were resorted to, in order to restore the circulation. The physician soon detected signs of life, and, ordering all but one or two assistants to leave the spot, in ten minutes Drewett was placed in a warm bed, and might be considered out of danger.
Andrew Drewett, and of my own precise position in society, I should have cared very little, just then, about Rupert, and his caprices. The pearls for the ring were soon selected by Rupert, and approved of by Grace, after which I assumed the office of dividing the remainder myself. I drew a chair, took the box from Rupert, and set about the task.
Lucy used to weep at parting from me, as well as Grace, and she was not a girl to change with the winds. But I could not part thus: I had a sort of feeling that when we parted this time, it would virtually be a final separation, as the wife of Andrew Drewett never could be exactly that which Lucy Hardinge had now been to me for near twenty years. "I will not say farewell now, Lucy," I observed.
Drewett was very particular in shaking hands with Lucy, though I had not the misery of seeing her son go through the same ceremony. Still he was sufficiently pointed in his salutations; and, during the movements, I perceived he managed to get next to Lucy, leaving the Major to entertain his mother.
Ogilvie thinks, cannot be more than an hour or two after you, and she is very desirous of making a common party to ah! there comes Mrs. Drewett," said Lucy, hastily interrupting herself, "and I can deliver my message, myself." Mrs.
Andrew Drewett, not Mr. The old lady, I mean," added the dear girl, blushing to the eyes. I was so confounded I might almost add appalled, that it was with great difficulty I suppressed an exclamation. Command myself, I did, however, and observing that the skipper was curiously awaiting my next question, I put it. "Is Mrs. Andrew Drewett among your passengers, sir?"
Andrew Drewett was delighted with an opportunity of doing something for the man who saved his life, and my only fear was of your obstinacy." "After all I have heard from Andrew Drewett, beloved Lucy, you never need fear anything from my obstinacy hereafter.
