Her husband undertook his godson's defence, representing with great warmth that he knew Keypstick to be a good-for-nothing pimping old rascal, and that Perry showed a great deal of spirit and good sense in desiring to be taken from under his command; he therefore declared that the boy should not live a week longer with such a shambling son of a b , and sanctioned this declaration with abundance of oaths.
"Godson's dead," he said. "And buried," Smart added, with pardonable pride, for he was the local undertaker as well as saw-miller. Tony, sitting on the tobacco-box, gazed at them open-mouthed. "It was sudden it's curled Cold-blood Slaughter clean up," Cullen put in as further explanation. "And Yaller-head she's gone to Barellan," another man, wishing to have some share in the proceedings, put in.
Gauntlet to the garrison, where he met with a very hearty reception from the commodore, to whom he was introduced as his nephew's intimate friend; not but that, in all likelihood, he would have abated somewhat of his hospitality had he known that he was the brother of Perry's mistress; but her name the old gentleman had never thought of asking, when he inquired into the particulars of his godson's amour.
"No; I'm just riding over first to see to see how Godson's been all the time," Tony replied, as he pulled his horse's head round towards the road. "Godson? Why, here Tony, hold on," Marmot called out, as he jumped up and, stepping off the verandah, caught hold of a stirrup-leather just as Tony was moving his horse forward.
Q. Have not many plans been already contrived which consume the smoke of furnaces very effectually? A. Yes, many plans; and besides those already mentioned there are Hall's, Coupland's, Godson's, Robinson's, Stevens's, Hazeldine's, Indie's, Bristow and Attwood's, and a great number of others.
I'm afraid they're not likely to play any games this evening. It's a real, proper dinner-party, you know, Timmy." Then he heard his godson's eager voice. "Oh, Betty, do come too! Mrs. Jones can do the washing-up to-morrow morning. If you want to dress I'll hook you up." "I'm too tired to go up and dress," and Betty's voice did sound very weary.
Surprised and enraged to see it had made no impression, he halloed, in a terrible tone, "O! d-ye, you have your netting stuffed, I see;" and advancing, he discharged his second pistol so near his godson's head, that had he not been defended by his great coat, the powder must have scorched his face.
"Sit down, Madame," she said imperiously, and Sylvia meekly obeyed. The old lady fixed her eyes with an appraising gaze on her godson's English friend. "Permit me to embrace you," she exclaimed suddenly. "You are a very pretty creature! And though no doubt young lips often tell you this, the compliments of the old have the merit of being quite sincere!"
I did not then foresee how closely my godson's life and mine were in after years to be bound up together; if I had, I should doubtless have looked upon him with different eyes and noted much to which I paid no attention at the time. As it was, I was glad to get away from him, for I could do nothing for him, or chose to say that I could not, and the sight of so much suffering was painful to me.
He had already learned enough of his godson's ways and chosen society to be assured that Samuel Dolly had indulged in very anti-commercial tastes, and been sadly contaminated by very anti- commercial friends. He felt persuaded that Dolly's sole chance of redemption was in working on his mind while his body was still suffering, so that Poole might, on recovery, break with all former associations.
