Ah! that's over her. No; it's broken aside. What a long time she is in coming up. Here's a cross sea! Ferrier's baling. Oh! it's too much. Oh! my poor friend! Here's a screamer! God be praised she's topped it! Will the smack hit her? Go under his lee if you love me. They've got the rope now. In he goes, smash on his face! Just like him, the idiot Lord bless his face and him!"
May 16 and 17. I wrote and rode as usual, and had the pleasure of Miss Ferrier's company in my family hours, which was a great satisfaction; she has certainly less affectation than any female I have known that has stood so high Joanna Baillie hardly excepted. I am sorry this gifted woman is hardly doing herself justice, and doing what is not required at her hands. Mr.
Please God, we may get through. If anything happens to my mainmast I shall give in but it's a good spar." Ferrier's mind went wandering with a sort of boding fierceness; he framed dramatic pictures of all that was passing in the chaotic ruin of shattered seas that rushed and seethed around.
The skipper rushed aft, hoping to get on deck through Ferrier's cabin, but he met a cataract of water which blinded him, and he came back saying, "I doubt her deck won't stand another like that. Now, gentlemen, it's for you to decide." "Skipper, send Bill up to help me with the boat. That last's drove her abreast the skylight." The one look-out man had saved himself.
In her ears there sounded Ferrier's quick, hoarsely uttered words: "D'you think I should ever have said a word to you of all this if you had gone on being happy? D'you think I'd ask you to come to me if I thought you had any chance of being happy with him now?" And she knew in her soul that he had spoken truly.
In his, Oliver's, opinion, Ferrier's lead in the House on certain questions was a lead of weakness, making for disaster. Was he not even to hold, much less to express such a view, because of the quasi-parental relation in which Ferrier had once stood to him? The whole thing was an odious confusion most unfair to him individually between personal and Parliamentary duty. Frankness? loyalty?
Ferrier's a splendid chap!" Diana warmly agreed. "Perhaps you know," pursued the chatterbox, "that this place is all hers Lady Lucy's. She can leave it and her money exactly as she pleases. It is to be hoped she won't leave much of it to Mrs. Fotheringham. Isn't that a woman! Ah! you don't know her yet. Hullo! there's Marsham after me." For Marsham was beckoning from the hall.
And at the same time although in the past Ferrier had no doubt laid him under great personal and political obligations he had by now, in the natural course of things, developed strong opinions of his own, especially as to the conduct of party affairs in the House of Commons; opinions which were not Ferrier's which were, indeed, vehemently opposed to Ferrier's.
He never spoke before falling asleep; he only pressed Ferrier's hand and pointed, with a smile, upward. "If it goes on like this, sir, there won't be many of us left by the morning." "No, skipper. I hope the men will secure themselves like us. Mr. Lennard had a near thing. He has a jaw like a walrus, or his teeth must have gone."
Her broken talk of Ferrier was the only possible talk that could have arisen between them at that moment without awkwardness, without risk. To that last ground of friendship she could still admit him, and a wounded self-love suggested that she chose it for his sake as well as Ferrier's. Of course, she had seen him with Alicia, and must have drawn her conclusions.
