"It ought to suit you, Jack; it's an equality medicine; cures one disorder just as well as the other." "Or kills which levels all the patients. You're right, Gascoigne, I must patronise that stuff for more reasons than one. Who was that person on deck in mufti?" "The mufti, Jack; in other words, the chaplain of the ship, but he's a prime sailor, nevertheless." "How's that?"
Betty joined in the laughter. "Are there many of of Us up here?" she asked. "There are as many as the village will hold, and every farm and byre and cow-shed for about six miles round," replied Mrs. Gascoigne, the new-comer. "And, of course, the little town, about four miles from here, near where the ships anchor, simply couldn't hold another wife if you tried to lever one in with a shoe-horn!"
He called the boy, ordered him to bring up the porter, and then went forward. Jack made the boy bring up two chairs, put the porter on the companion hatch, and he and Gascoigne sat down. The anchor was weighed, and the transport ran out under her foretopsail, as they were light-handed, and had to secure the anchor.
"What do you mean by that?" "That I saw you at your craven work just after the Alma; you ought to have been shot then. The world would have been well rid of a miscreant." "Pretty language, truly, Mr. Gascoigne! I must strive to deserve it." "What are you going to do with me?" "I am not sure. Only do not hope for mercy. You know too much. I might make away with you at once "

"From whence did you learn all this?" inquired Jolliffe. "From my father, who is a great philosopher, and has constantly upheld these opinions." "And did your father wish you to go to sea?"
Such public personages, it is true, are often in the nature of giants which an ancient community may have felt pride and safety in possessing, though, regarded privately, these born eminences must often have been inconvenient and even noisome. But of the future husband personally Mr. Gascoigne was disposed to think the best.
"And it is always worth while to make a little sacrifice for a good style of house," said Mr. Gascoigne, in his easy, pleasantly confident tone, which made the world in general seem a very manageable place of residence: "especially where there is only a lady at the head. All the best people will call upon you; and you need give no expensive dinners.
Gascoigne had been, and Deronda on all accounts would not take his departure until he had seen the baronet.
Here she is capering over the waves instead of being tied by the nose with a cable and anchor." "That's a touch of the sentimental, Jack," replied Gascoigne; "but she is no more free than she was when at anchor, for she now is forced to act in obedience to her steersman, and go just where he pleases.
However, the whole of this story must be told both to my father and my mother; to the former that he may take the right measures, and to my mother that it may open her eyes. Give me the copy of the letter you wrote to the friar, and then I shall have it all." The report of the accident which had occurred to Easy and Gascoigne had been spread and fully believed throughout Palermo.
