"I have often had to do that," Furniss said. "Besides, if you took it away for a week, I don't suppose any one would notice it; for no one goes down to the boathouse unless to get the boat ready for a trip." The next day Vincent rode over to his friend's plantation, sending Dan off an hour beforehand to bail out the boat and get the masts and sails into her from the boathouse.
"You can't lose an engineer or even kill him. Doc, what's the report?" "All three are alive," replied Dr. Furniss, "but they'll need care and nursing. Here, help me place them in my car. Someone get in and ride with me I'll need help. You, Reade!" "No," responded Tom with emphasis, as he looked down at his discolored self. "If the lady saw me when she opened her eyes, she'd faint again.
"It's all right, then," nodded Furniss, looking relieved. "Tom Reade and Harry Hazelton have gone to the aid of the woman." "If I could only believe that!" gasped Proprietor Carter. "We've tried the ladders, and we've tried the corridors of the house. It's a raging furnace in there." Dr. Furniss looked on rather calmly.
"With pleasure, Vincent; and my fishing lines and nets as well, if you like. We very seldom use the boat. Do you mean to keep it here or move it higher up the river, where it would be more handy for you, perhaps?" "I think I would rather leave it here, Furniss. A mile or two extra to ride makes no difference. I suppose it's in the water?" "Yes; at the foot of the boathouse stairs.
He did not offer to speak to Jack, but the latter soon saw him holding whispered conversations with Mires and the second boss, Furniss, when he felt certain by their looks and motions that he was the subject of their remarks. Once he overheard Offut tell a companion: "I sha'n't wheel scrap iron always and Jack North won't be boss, either."
Even real warfare is complicated when men fight with men less civilized than themselves; and we had learnt before now that when we snowballed each other or snowballed the rougher "lot" of village boys, we did so under different conditions. We had our own code of honour and fairness, but Bob Furniss was not above putting a stone into a snowball if he owed a grudge.
Furniss nodded. Men appeared with an old door that was to be used as a stretcher. On this the gambler was placed, and the physician gave him such immediate attention as could be supplied on the sidewalk, for Jim Duff had been shot through the right lung. Then the bearers lifted the door, bearing the gambler back to the now gloomy Mansion House, the doctor following.
You have always known that 'something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and yet you have let these poor innocents stir it up. I have often thought that poor Shakespeare added that line after the first performance. I intend to write that hint to Furniss one of these days." "You will write it," said Margaret Masters, "with more conviction after you have seen my Denmark."
Jack answered the question himself by opening his eyes, though he was still too bewildered to attempt to rise. "What did you do that for?" he demanded. "Do what?" questioned Fret Offut. "You know well enough. You fixed that bar so it would hit me." "Hear the boy talk!" came from Furniss. "It is true. If I get the chance " "Stop, you shan't get us into trouble," yelled the man, in a rage.
He therefore decided upon borrowing a boat from a friend, and next morning rode to the plantation of the father of Harry Furniss, this being in a convenient position on the Pamunky, one of the branches of the York River. "Are you using that sailboat of yours at present, Harry? Because, if not, I wish you would let me have the use of it for a week or so."
