I'll take charge of you, rather than to turn you over to the military authorities; for after all you are naval officers and I shall help you if I can. Please precede me; and you too," this last to Davis in a gruffer tone. All proceeded below, where eight or ten other men stood waiting. Then all marched away.
Charley tried not to listen, and was just dozing off at last, when a new conversation, somewhere along the hall, made him prick up his ears. There evidently were two men. "You've never heard of Tom, have you?" asked one voice. "Not a word, since he started back to the States to find his relatives," answered a gruffer voice. "Hadn't many, had he?" "Nephew by marriage, is all he ever mentioned."
Evidently he and Stefan had become fast friends during their day's ride together. It was a merry laugh, pleasant, Ellerey thought, after the gruffer tones of the soldiers. Presently the boy left Anton's side and threw himself down by the fire near Ellerey. "Are you tired, Grigosie?" "A little. Lately I have not been used to so many hours in the saddle. What point do we make for to-morrow?"
"M. de Greville will not come up this night may God have mercy on his soul," I added solemnly. "Why not, fine sir?" the gruffer fellow on the big bay questioned with some heat. I made no quibble on his manner, but replied: "I doubt I have slain him. He lies back yonder in the road to Sceaux, and I know not whether he be dead or still lives."
So come in; then, as her boy's merry voice and a gruffer one were heard, 'That's the bailiff. He is Willie's devoted slave. 'I hoped to have been in time to have saved you that. 'Well, I'm convinced that among the much maligned races are bailiffs. I wonder what I could get by an article on prejudice against classes!
It is only the elephant," said a gruffer, rude voice. "Oh, it is dreadful! 'Tis like a mountain! I can't! Oh no, I can't!" "Come, madam, you have brought us thus far, you must come on, and not make fools of us all," said Charles's voice. "There's nothing to hurt you."
Eugene Morgan who exhibited so cheerful a countenance between the forward visor of a deer-stalker cap and the collar of a fuzzy gray ulster. "Git a hoss!" the children shrieked, and gruffer voices joined them. "Git a hoss! Git a hoss! Git a hoss!" George Minafer was correct thus far: the twelve miles an hour of such a machine would never over-take George's trotter.
"No; I can't go there any more," said Kent, and his voice was gruffer than he meant it to be. "Why not?" "There were good reasons before: there are better ones now." "A seven-hundred-thousand-dollar difference?" suggested Ormsby, who had had speech with Loring. Kent flushed a dull red. "I sha'n't strike you, Ormsby, no matter what you say," he said doggedly. "Humph!
You've got all there will be to eat in this house to-day, and it is time you were off." This was the ungracious manner in which the sister took note of his lingering. She was painfully afraid that he had already grown weary of regular employment, and the fear made her voice gruffer than usual. His reply amazed her; in fact, it amazed himself:
"Chug-a-rum! Have a care, young fellow! Have a care how you talk to your elders. Do you mean to be impudent enough to tell me to my face that I am not anybody?" The voice was deeper and gruffer than ever, and it made Peter more uncomfortable than ever. "Oh, no, Sir! No, indeed!" exclaimed Peter. "I don't mean anything of the kind.
