You needn't be afraid to give Fred a passage in your boat." "And Gloy, please, sir," added the Harrisons. "I am at Mr. Garson's service," said Yaspard. Then a brilliant idea came into his head, dispelling in a moment all his doubts and fears. "I'll tell you what," he cried, "you shall meet my little sister first, and she shall take you to Uncle Brüs. He will do anything for her.
When Kicva, the daughter of Gwynn Gloy, saw that there was no one in the palace but herself and Manawyddan, she sorrowed so that she cared not whether she lived or died. And Manawyddan saw this. "Thou art in the wrong," said he, "if through fear of me thou grievest thus.
He thoroughly enjoyed telling her all about his expedition to Havnholme, and his pleasure was not even damped by the tears rising in her blue eyes when he described Gloy a prisoner in the geo with Pirate for jailer. "Wasn't it a good lark, Signy? Don't I make a ripping Viking, &c.?" She smiled in spite of her compassion, but she said, "Oh, brodhor, you know he is only a poor boy.
So let your mind be at rest on that point. You are as free as ever to carry on your Viking course." "Father said," Tom interrupted, "that we are now at liberty to bring you as a prisoner to Lunda, if we can catch you as easily as you caught Gloy, so you will have to look out." "I'll be delighted, quite delighted!" was the answer, which sent the enemy into fits of laughter.
"I suppose we must believe that Gloy is all right," said Lowrie, "so we needn't concern ourselves about his life at the present time." "He says he is still the prisoner," said Yaspard musingly; then after a long pause he added, "Look here, boys, we might as well go on with this night's performance as far as we can without our captive. "All serene," was Lowrie's reply; and Gibbie added, "Just so."
The splash of their oars and the tones of their voices were loud enough to have warned Gloy of their approach, and cause him to make some response. But he didn't. A joyous bark from Pirate was the first thing to draw the attention, and then the lads noticed that the dog was alone. "Guess Gloy is taking a nap, stupid fellow!"
Harry followed, after cautioning Bill and Gloy to go out of the passage and keep watch, to give the alarm in case Mr. Neeven or fule-Tammy should come upon the scene. The sealkie was neither alarmed nor disturbed by her visitors. She had evidently returned to her tame confiding ways, and allowed the boys to come close to her.
I called her attention to the fact that the health of a young girl was not a trifling detail, and made my farewell bow. But she stopped me on the threshold to say to me, very confidentially, "You must excuse me, Monsieur. I am a woman, and I love gloy. I cannot conceal from you the fact that I feel myself greatly honoured by the presence of a Member of the Institute in my humble institution."
"Mither," said Gloy, "wad say that the sea was sending its warning tae wiz." "We will certainly pay heed to that warning," answered Yaspard, "as soon as we have had breakfast. Let's look alive, boys, and get our fire up as fast as we can, for there's going to be a gale before night, and we should be at Broch then."
"We don't carry our beach about in our pockets," one of them said, as soon as the laugh subsided. "Then I must keep my captive till you bring his price." And Yaspard stuck to that, and urged his arguments so well that finally it was agreed that he should hold Gloy till his friends produced the stipulated ransom. The prisoner did not seem very distressed.
