For, being just within Spurn Head, the men of Ravenserodd would go out to incoming vessels bound for Grimsby, and induce them to sell their cargoes in Ravenserodd by all sorts of specious arguments, misquoting the prices paid in the rival town. If their arguments failed, they would force the ships to enter their harbour and trade with them, whether they liked it or not.
Maybe we were two miles out of Grimsby at this time, for one can see far along the level marsh tracks from our tower; and Withelm and Mord and I rode on to him as soon as we saw him, that we might tell him all that had happened, and we rode slowly and talked for half a mile or so.
Having taken these measures for the security of his kingdom and the establishment of his own happiness, he had just returned to his tent on the banks of the Bannockburn when Grimsby, his now faithful attendant, conducted an armed knight into his presence.
"Probably that is the name," said Paul. "I will give Mrs. Grimsby your message," returned the landlady, whose curiosity was excited to learn something further about her boarders. "Thank you," said Paul; "but it is necessary for me to see the lady myself." "Well, you can follow me, then," said the landlady, rather ungraciously. She led the way upstairs, and knocked at the door of Mrs.
The Conclusion of a Tale is like the end of a journey: the Author throws aside his pen and foolscap as the tired traveller does the dusty garments of the road, and stretching himself at ease, looks back upon the various companions of his erratic ramblings. The curiosity of the reader is doubtless highly excited to know who "Corporal Grimsby" is.
"Yes I did," was the surly reply. "And it's none of your d business what I do in my own house. Get out of this." Eben's only reply was to seize Gabe by his coat collar, and yank him suddenly forward. Then he shook him as a dog would shake a rat, while Grimsby filled the house with his howls of distress. He was a veritable coward at heart, and in Eben's hands he was as helpless as a child.
"I sent a man to Grimsby yesterday," I said; "but you must have passed him on the way somewhere, for he could not have started soon enough to take you a message before you left." "I met him on the road last night, for I myself thought it time to come and see how you two fared. I bided at Cabourn for the night, and your messenger came on with me."
D'ye call yerself a man to hit a woman, an' her yer wife?" "But she provoked me," Gabe defended. "What did she do?" "She stole my money; that's what she did." "You're a liar," his wife charged. "It wasn't your money, anyway. I merely took it back to where it belongs." "Ye did?" Gabe snarled. "So that's where ye were, eh? Why didn't ye tell me that before?" "I didn't have to, Gabe Grimsby.
He even chuckled, but it was a feeble chuckle, and he could find no other solace to give as they trudged toward Grimsby Center, two insignificant people, hand in hand, dim in the melancholy light which made mysterious the stretching moors. Presently they and the black highroad disappeared. Only the sandy casual trails and mirror-bright tiny pools stood out in the twilight.
With the crying needs of a large family how many a woman would have kept and used the money? What a temptation! Mechanically she counted the bills seventy-five dollars. Gabe Grimsby must have been very drunk when he overlooked such a sum. How great would be his anger when he found that the money was not in the house upon his return from the city.
