He is a fellow I don't much care for, and I hope that whomever Miss Greendale may marry, he will not be the man." "I thought, when you first asked me down last year, that you had got up the party specially for her, Mallett, and that you were going in for the prize yourself. But of course I soon saw that I was mistaken, as you were altogether too good chums for that to come about.
After the men had gone forward again, he said to the captain: "I have a strong conviction, Hawkins, indeed I am almost certain, that Miss Greendale has been carried off to one of the yachts here, but whether it is a large one or a small one I have not the slightest idea. The question is, what is to be done? It is past eleven now, and it is impossible to go round the fleet and make enquiries.
I don't want them to know that we have got on board. I know that you will all rejoice with me, for I have brought off Miss Greendale, and none of our party except one of the boatmen has been wounded in any way seriously." There was a murmur of deep satisfaction from the crew. As Bertha stepped on deck the men crowded round with low exclamations of "God bless you, miss!
At last I made up my mind to enlist in his regiment, to follow him to India, kill him, find her, and bring her home." "How dreadful!" the girl murmured. "It was dreadful, Miss Greendale. I believe now that I must have been mad at the time. However, I did it, but at the end failed. Mercifully I was saved from being a murderer. As I told you, I was badly wounded.
I thought it better that he should do so, as in the first place, he did not know any of you, and in the next, as you see, we are pretty closely packed as it is." "What is that flag at the masthead?" Lady Greendale asked. "Bertha said that your flag was going to have an eagle on it." "That is on my racing flag.
You see, Miss Greendale has known me since she was a child, and she has never thought of me in any other way than as a sort of cousin someone she liked very much, but had never thought of for a moment as one she could marry. That is all past and gone, but I should be sorry, most sorry, for her to marry Carthew, knowing what I do of him." "But it must not be, sir," George said, vehemently.
"Thank God that you are back, sir," they cried as they came abreast. "We have been in terrible anxiety about you. Have you succeeded, sir?" "Don't cheer. I want to get back to the yacht before they know that we are here. Yes, thank God, I have succeeded. Miss Greendale and her maid are on board." A low cheer, which even his order could not entirely suppress, came from the three men in the boat.
You can understand, dear Lady Greendale, that at present things are going rather hardly with me." She gave him a sympathetic look. "I can understand, Frank," she said; "but here she comes. You can make your excuses yourself." "I can quite understand that you don't care about staying," Bertha said, when he repeated what he had said to her mother.
"'I assure you, Miss Greendale, he said, 'that this poor hut is but a temporary affair. I will shortly have a more comfortable one erected for you. You see, your residence here is likely to be a long one, unless you change your mind. Pray do not nourish any idea that you can someday escape me.
In two or three minutes the anchor was dropped and the sails lowered. "Now I will row across to her," Frank said, "and tell them that I don't want to attack them, but I am determined to search their craft." "No, Major," George Lechmere said, firmly. "We are not going to let you throw away your life, and you have no right to do it at any rate not until after Miss Greendale is rescued.
