He shook himself, and looked again, and there sat Bellfield, eyeing him through the bright colour of a glass of port. "Now I've told you a bit of my mind, Cheesy, my boy," continued Bellfield, "and you'll save yourself a deal of trouble and annoyance if you'll believe what I say. She doesn't mean to marry you. It's most probable that she'll marry me; but, at any rate, she won't marry you."
"The CAPTAIN!" said Jemmy, and, breaking from her clasp, slipped from his bed and darted hastily on deck, just as the pallid face of his commander broke through the blankets and beamed anxiously on his wife. Five minutes later, as the crew gathered aft were curiously eyeing the foc's'le, Mrs. Harbolt and the skipper came on deck.
'I seek a passage in this ship to Tarshish; how soon sail ye, sir? Thus far the busy Captain had not looked up to Jonah, though the man now stands before him; but no sooner does he hear that hollow voice, than he darts a scrutinizing glance. 'We sail with the next coming tide, at last he slowly answered, still intently eyeing him.
There was a pause. Jacky was keenly eyeing the tall thin figure at the stove. "Why did you come to tell me of this?" she asked at last. "Thought you'd like to know. You like 'Pickles." "Yes Bill, you are thinking of going with him." Her companion laughed uneasily. This girl was very keen. "I didn't say so." "No, but still you are thinking of doing so. See here, Bill, tell me all about it."
The mate sighed. "It's all right when the old man's away," he said, deceitfully. "He's got a dreadful temper." "I hope you didn't get into trouble through my coming aboard the other night," said Miss Tipping, softly. "Don't say anything about it," replied the mate, eyeing her admiringly. "I'd do more than that for you, if I could."
"No," said Madeleine, eyeing him over her fan with a composure that astonished herself. "No, I don't go to cafes chantants." Ancoats looked blank a moment, then resumed, with fervour: "This woman's divine epatant! Then, at the Chat Noir but ah! well, perhaps you don't go to the Chat Noir?" "No, I don't go to the Chat Noir." He fidgeted for a minute. She sat silent.
Craig, eyeing his bride covertly, had a sense of her remoteness, her unattainability. He was like a man who, in an hour of rashness and vanity, has boasted that he can attain a certain mountain peak, and finds himself stalled at its very base. He decided that he must assert himself; he tried to nerve himself to seize her in his old precipitate, boisterous fashion.
Boulanger strode on, eyeing his companion askance, and possibly speculating whether the fine gentleman who had treated him so superciliously would not very soon be forced to give in, and perhaps commit to him the task of proceeding alone to their intended destination. Isidore seemed indeed scarcely the man for a task like that which lay before them.
He sat eyeing the front row of figures in his third-class carriage, musing on the kind of soldiers we might, heaven designing it, have to face, and how to beat them; until he gazed on Rouen, knowing by the size of it and by what Mr. Durance had informed him of the city on the river, that it must be the very city of Rouen, not so many years back a violated place, at the mercy of a foreign foe.
Making no reply whatever, the lieutenant simply raised his sword arm in signal to his party, halt! whereat, sniffing the tainted breeze and anxiously eyeing the distant cavalcade, the horses of Davies's party stood nervously pawing and stamping. Evidently they liked the outlook as little as did McPhail.
