Fullarton, don't you think we had better not delay any longer? We are so late already, that I am sure the rest of the party will be tired of waiting." Guess if her companion was loth to obey her. They moved on for some time almost in silence. Cecil's thoughts were busy with a picture too not the less vivid because only her own imagination had painted it.
He was waiting for Cecil's reply very anxiously: he had not heard her speak yet. "Mr. Fullarton is rather rash," she said, "for our acquaintance is slight, and I don't think he ever heard me sing. But I shall do my best next Sunday. Every one ought to help in such a case as much as they can." "Yes, and you will do it so beautifully, dearest!" Cecil bit her lip, and colored angrily.
It was full time for some one to interfere when the devil had entered into Royston Keene. From the moment that affairs had assumed such a different aspect Mr. Fullarton had gradually been recovering his composure, and by this time was quite himself again.
He was struggling furiously, and would soon have shaken them off, when the other boys sprang to their assistance. "You help them, Jim. I will get this cord off!" Fullarton said and, running to the bed, began to unknot the cord that bound the admiral.
"I will not be made an accomplice in your irreverent comparisons; I don't admit the resemblance; if there were one, it was too bad of 'the pikemen' not to be more considerate. You always try to impute malicious motives to the most innocent. How could I guess that Mr. Fullarton would suffer so for his devotion to my interests? I will give you back your quotation in kind.
I made the arrangements, and persuaded the others to go; and I think it is only right that they should not be punished as severely as I am." "We were all in it together, sir," Jim Sankey broke in. "I was just as keen on it as Bob was." "So was I," Fullarton and Wharton said, together.
Fullarton as if she expected him to clear it away. The latter was not good at French, but he did manage to express their sorrow if they had done any harm unconsciously, and their wish to retire instantly. "Not before paying," was the reply. "Quinze francs de dedommagemens; et puis, filez aux tous les diables!"
Now Bessie and I should never have guessed where those lines came from if you had not enlightened us. They seemed harmless enough in themselves, and Major Keene was considerate enough to leave us in our ignorance. So Byron comes within the scope of your studies, Mr. Fullarton. I thought you seldom indulged in such secular authors?"
"I should be very glad to have you with me," he said, "after the service you rendered my father and sister." On the following morning, Fullarton and Wharton came up from the school, and two carriages conveyed the witnesses over to Kingston. The prisoners, Bob heard, were notorious and desperate criminals, whom the authorities had long been anxious to lay hands on.
Fullarton did not feel equal to "improving the occasion" just then. Cecil broke the silence at last: it was where the road was so narrow that only two could walk abreast: Royston never left her bridle-rein. "You must fancy that I have thanked you; I can not do so properly now. It is strange, though, that you should have come up so very opportunely. Was it a presentiment that made you follow us?"
