She appeared lost in contemplation; and Gascoigne would have given the world to have divined her thoughts. Satisfied with what he had seen, he descended, and singing one of the airs, he then repeated the words, "Do not be afraid I love you I cannot speak your language." He then sang another of the airs, and after he had finished he again repeated the words in Arabic; but there was no reply.
"I am old and rheumatic, and my dancing days were over long ago. But either of these gay young gentlemen will be glad of so pretty a partner." "Dance with me, Clara!" cried Colonel Killigrew. "No, no, I will be her partner!" shouted Mr. Gascoigne. "She promised me her hand fifty years ago!" exclaimed Mr. Medbourne. They all gathered round her.
"And if he does," replied Gascoigne, "he can swear that it was by having been blown up which spoilt his beauty but here comes the Harpy. I have been looking for an English ensign to hoist over the French, but cannot find one; so I hoist a wheft over it, that will do." The Harpy was soon hove to close to the brig, and Jack went on board in the cutter to report what had taken place.
"It will be the greatest I ever could," replied Jack, "and you ought to be eternally indebted to me." "I trust to make him eternally indebted to me," replied Gascoigne. Sailors, if going into action, always begin to reckon what their share of the prize-money may be, before a shot is fired our two midshipmen appear in this instance to be doing the same.
"Mr Gascoigne I intend to take with me, if he chooses to come, as I have a great respect for his father, and no fault to find with him, that is, generally speaking but as for Mesty why, he is a good man, and as you have behaved yourself very well, perhaps I may think of it."
He spoke little at dinner, and retired as soon as it was over, presenting his two letters to the Governor, and asking his advice for the next morning. Gascoigne followed him, and to him he confided his trouble; and Ned, finding that Jack was very low-spirited, consoled him to the best of his power, and brought a bottle of wine which he procured from the butler.
He then applied to Gascoigne, who told him in a very surly tone to go to hell. At last he applied to our hero, who laughed, and said that he would see him damned first. So Mr Hicks sat down in his petticoats, and vowed revenge. Gascoigne, who had drunk much and eaten nothing, turned in and went to sleep while Captain Hogg and our hero drank porter on the capstern.
It is a great advance from the sex hostility of Christabel Pankhurst's "Plain Facts on a Great Evil" to the co-working attitude of Louise Creighton's "Social Disease and How to Fight It," of Olive Schreiner's "Woman and Labor," of Ellen Key's "Love and Marriage," and of Gascoigne Hartley's "Truth About Woman," all of which give us hope that women with optimistic and æsthetic interpretation of sex are coming to take the lead towards a better understanding of the relations of sex and life.
She sobbed, till Arthur's sudden waking up he had been fast asleep on the sofa, or she might not have given way so much compelled her to restrain herself. Miss Gascoigne was moved at least as much as was in her nature to be. She said hastily, "There there we will say no more about it;" took up her work, and busied herself therewith.
The two midshipmen collected three or four hands, and in a very short time they had more blankets than they could carry there was no trouble in wetting them, for the main deck was afloat and followed by the men they had collected, Easy and Gascoigne went down with large bundles in their arms to where Captain Wilson was giving directions to the men.
