Jimmie often reads me parts of it after I go to bed at night. There's a poem in it he taught me that by heart and if I think to say it the last thing before I go to sleep he says I'll get so's nothing can scare me." "Recite it for Mr. Debrett," urged Mrs. Hawtry. And Cecelia Anne obediently began, with a jerk of a curtsey and a shake of her delicate embroideries and blue sash.
This, however, had the effect which Hawtry had intended, of drawing attention to them. The steamer passed within thirty feet of them. Hawtry lowered the sail, and standing up, shouted, "Throw us a rope!"
James Hawtry, Junior, sitting beside the heiress, failed to derive much satisfaction from this clause. If things were being given away, he was not quite certain as to what "rest and residue" might mean, but if things of any kind were being doled out he would fain have enjoyed them with the rest.
If Miss Cecelia Anne Hawtry is present, I should like to pay my respects to her and to wish her all happiness in her new inheritance. I have never had the pleasure of meeting the principal legatee. May I ask her to come forward and accept my congratulations." "Take her, Jimmie," commanded Mr.
Young Coveney, too, had landed on the previous day, and Hawtry, whom Jack was inclined to like most of his shipmates, now accompanied him. They had leave for the whole day, and, as soon as breakfast was over, they went ashore. "What a rum old place!" Hawtry said, as they wandered along the principal street. "It looks as Spanish as ever.
Hawtry received a crashing blow on the head which sent him staggering back against the wall, and Jack one on his arm which rendered it useless. "This will never do," the English officer shouted. "Let us make a rush at the scoundrels, and fight our way to the door. It's our only chance." "Wait a moment," Jack said, a thought striking him.
"I say, old boy," he said, approaching a tall and powerfully-built man, who was smoking a cigar, and leaning lazily against one of his mules; "you let mules, we hire them, eh?" The Spaniard opened his eyes somewhat, but made no reply, and continued to smoke tranquilly. "Oh, nonsense," Hawtry said. "Look here." And he put his hand into his pocket and pulled out some silver.
The division to which Dick Hawtry was attached had experienced a success as complete as that which attended the principal column, and the flames were already rising in the air as the latter issued into the town. The other barrack was, however, successfully defending itself.
With much shouting and laughter they struggled to the entrance and made their way out. Half the tents were already levelled to the ground, and ten minutes later not one remained standing. The midshipmen crowded into the turf huts which some of the officers had had erected. Scarcely had they entered, when there was the boom of a heavy gun. "I thought so," Dick Hawtry said.
He had thought very often of her during the years which had passed, but although he had steadfastly clung to the determination he had expressed to his friend Hawtry, of some day marrying her if she would have him, he was now more alive than before to the difference between her position and his.
