Finally the crowd moved down towards the cove. The flakes that had been deserted, that morning, became tenanted again by an eager crowd, and on the sharply slanted roofs of the little fish-houses some boys secured precarious perches. The yacht had been warped to the little dock, and there was a gangplank over which our three dear friends went on board.
Sigurd pointed outward to the ship that was afar off upon the dim horizon. "Jarl Klerkon, of whom you speak," said he, "is now upon yonder ship." "And well do I know it," returned Olaf. "Today when I stood upon the vessel's gangplank I saw him standing on the lypting; and I knew him by the token that his nose was flat against his face.
The boat got into Portland at nine o'clock, and Mavering left her, taking his hand-bag with him, and letting his trunk go on to Boston. The officer who received his ticket at the gangplank noticed the destination on it, and said, "Got enough?" "Yes, for one while." Mavering recognised his acquaintance of the night before. "Don't like picnics very much." "No," said Mavering, with abysmal gloom.
The doctor drew himself up, clicked his heels together with the air of an officer saluting his superior really to hide his joy and said with mock gravity, his hand on his heart: "I shall, most honorable mother, be the first to take her ladyship's hand as she walks down the gangplank." Then he added, with a tone of mild reproof in his voice: "What a funny, queer old mother you are!
"We have to take care of the twins," Bobby informed him as the four little Blossoms marched aboard over the gangplank Captain Jenks let down especially for them. "Meg and I are old enough to go to town but Dot and Twaddles are only four." "What is in the basket?" asked the kind captain, fearing an explosion from Twaddles, who was furious at this public reference to his age.
You can not mistake the Channel Island boats they smell like a county fair, and though you be blind and deaf it is impossible to board the wrong craft. Every time one of these staunch little steamers lands in England, crates containing mild-eyed, lusty calves are slid down the gangplank, marked for Maine, Iowa, California, or some uttermost part of the earth.
Under the manipulation of the adepts at the respective wheels, the boats were laid beside each other and the gangplank of the yacht connected the two. Miss Starland was the first to run across and was clasped in the arms of her delighted relative. Then her brother, Captain Guzman and Martella followed.
He ran down the gangplank before it was ready, and clasped every boy he saw there round the neck, and would have kissed them if they had shown an inclination to let him do so. Of course he was overwhelmed with questions, but before he would answer any he asked for Uncle Daniel and the others at home.
He filled his lungs with the crisp, clear air, and it made him feel like a young race horse, but he held himself in check. Street actually loafed along, although he managed to keep his place. "If one of us is caught, he'll be like the gangplank of a steamer," called Harry as they left the main part of the city and entered the suburbs. "How's that?" asked Blossom. "Pulled in," chirped Rattleton.
The last bag of mail had shot into the hold, the most reluctant of the visitors were being hustled down the last remaining gangplank. Ainsley's state was desperate. "Will it be in symbol, or in cipher?" he demanded. "Must I read it in the sky, or will you hide it in a letter, or where? Help me! Give me just a hint!" The girl shook her head. "You will read it in your heart," she said.
