Now I'm really sailing. It's great!" He was very enthusiastic, and Tom himself was not a little pleased at his own success, for certainly the airship had looked to be a very dubious proposition at first. "Bless my gaiters! But we are doing pretty well," remarked Mr. Damon, looking down on the field where Mr. Fenwick's friends and the machinists were gathered, cheering and waving their hands.
One year's experience had taught her that the task was a difficult one, to accomplish which required time, patience and perseverance, reinforced by courage, skill and tact. Fern Fenwick's interest in the experimental farm was intense. She read with eagerness the weekly reports from Fillmore Flagg, which were accompanied by such charmingly ardent love letters.
'I can't last more than a week or two, he said, presently, in a pause of Fenwick's talk, to which he had hardly listened 'and a good job too. But I don't find myself at all rebellious. I'm curiously content to go. I've had a good time. This from a man who had passed from one disappointed hope to another, brought the tears to Fenwick's eyes.
It should perhaps be explained that some two years after Fenwick's arrival in London, Madame de Pastourelles had thought it best to establish a little ménage of her own, distinct from the household in St. James's Square. Her friends and her stepmother's were not always congenial to each other; and in many ways both Lord Findon and she were the happier for the change.
He was condemned to death for Fenwick's plot, and was thought to have had some hand in the Knightsbridge affair, in King William's time; and as he had married in Scotland a relation of the house of Breadalbane, he possessed great influence with all their chiefs.
The first small adventure was as follows: I was walking swiftly up Drury Lane, scanning the houses, for it was falling dark, and the oil-lights that burned, one before every tenth house, cast but a poor illumination, when just beyond one of the lights I knocked against a fellow who was coming out suddenly from a little passage at the side, just, as it chanced, opposite to Mr. Fenwick's house.
'Look here, young man we didn't come just on the loose to bother you. Have you heard ? Fenwick made a startled movement. 'Heard what? 'Why, that your two pictures are accepted! and will be admirably hung both on the line, and one in the big room. The colour rushed again into Fenwick's cheeks. 'Are you sure? he stammered, looking from one to the other.
"Didn't you tell me that the mysterious waiter fetched it from the table where it had been placed by the handsome cripple?" "Certainly, he did. I saw the signal pass directly Fenwick asked for a wooden match; that funny little waiter was palpably waiting for the silver box, and as soon as he placed it on Fenwick's table, he discreetly vanished.
Fenwick's Island was very near home; Blueskin might come sailing into the harbor at any minute and then ! In an hour Sheriff Jones had called together most of the able-bodied men of the town, muskets and rifles were taken down from the chimney places, and every preparation was made to defend the place against the pirates, should they come into the harbor and attempt to land.
"Now, you fellow, whatever your name is, leave the room at once and go downstairs and close the door behind you." The man slunk away, and, at a sign from Le Fenu, Evors closed the door. Evors jumped to his feet and crossed the room to where a picture was let into the panelling. He pushed this aside and disclosed a dark opening beyond to Fenwick's astonished gaze. The latter stared about him.
