He caught the mace from the little man in black. "Lead the way, Captain!" "If I be not ashamed of my soldiers, I am a soused gurnet." Sir John Falstaff. My father turned to me as they descended the stair. "This is all very well, lad," said he, "but we have yet to find our army. After the murder of Julius Caesar, now " "I did enact Julius Caesar once," quoted Mr. Fett, in parenthesis.
The thought of separation was like bending from a sunny world over a well of darkness. Claire cried a little, but not very much. She never dared let herself really cry because of what might happen to Winn. It surprised him sometimes how little she tried to influence his future life. She did not make him promise anything except to go to see Dr. Gurnet.
"I didn't," said Will, "only as far as my skin. I'm not porous." They had been tacking all the time, back and forth, much to Hilda's amazement, who could not understand how that crab-like motion would ever bring them home. They were now coming past the Gurnet Lights. "We can put in there, mother, if you like," suggested Archie, "and get the mermaid dried off, if you think best."
Gurnet about the skating, because four hours wasn't enough, and Claire insisted upon Dr. Gurnet's consent. Dr. Gurnet had consented, though he had raised his eyebrows and said, "Pair-skating?" and then he had asked who Major Staines had chosen for his partner. Naturally Winn had become extremely stiff, and said, "Miss Rivers," in a tone which should have put an end to the subject.
"Whenever the Spaniard stopped from exhaustion Gurnet shouted `Go on, in a voice of thunder, and the poor man, being thoroughly terrified, went on until he fell to the ground incapable of further exertion. "Up to this point Gurnet had kept saying to himself, `He is fond o' dancin' an' singin', let un have it, then, but when the poor man fell his heart relented.
Gurnet pounced upon him and went over him inch by inch; he reminded Winn of nothing so much as of an excited terrier hunting up and down a bank for a rat-hole. Eventually Dr. Gurnet found his rat. He went back to his chair, sat down heavily, and looked at Winn.
He was describing the welcome at the station, and all through the village the triumphal arches and shouts. "But how they did miss you, mother," said Charlie. "Old Gurnet wrung my hand in tears as he said, 'Yes, sir, 'tis very fine, but it beats the heart out of it that madam bain't here to see." "Good old Gurnet!" responded Raymond. "They are famously loyal.
The open boat, which they own in partnership, is a strongly built one about twenty-two feet long, with a lug and foresail of brown canvas and great flat stones for ballast. The whole outfit, including the lobster-pots, cost them twenty-five pounds. The pots have been set and baited with gurnet; during the two hours' interval we are anchored. A curious thing about the craft is the galley.
Gurnet, "then I regret to inform you that you have simply walked through them or, in your case, I should be inclined to imagine, tobogganed and you have come out the other side. You haven't got any chances now." Winn did not say anything for a moment or two; then he observed: "I'm afraid I've rather wasted your time." "Pray don't mention it," said Dr. Gurnet.
Then when you come in and give me warm, dry sheets and something hot to drink, something comes back. I suppose it's life force; but not much never as much as when I started the collapse. I'm getting weaker every hour; don't you notice it? I never approved of all this lying in bed. I shall speak to Dr. Gurnet about it to-morrow." Winn had noticed it; he came and sat down by Mr. Bouncing's bed.
