When he went to Central Park to sail the Jennie H, that being as near the feminine form of Jimmie Hawtry as their learning carried them, James, Junior, frequently allowed his sister to accompany him and his envious fellows.
"I leave nothing to my beloved son, James Hawtry," the document continued, "because I consider that he has quite enough already. And I leave nothing to his son, James Hawtry, Junior, the twin-brother of Cecelia Anne Hawtry, because, though he and I have met but seldom, I have formed the opinion that he is capable of winning his way in the world without any aid from me."
"This is a grand view, Hawtry," he said, as he stood at the edge of the cliff the morning after his arrival. Below at his feet lay a great fleet of transports. To the left the cliffs stretched away, wild and precipitous, rising to heights far greater than the point at which they stood, some 600 feet above the sea.
There's the making of a good business man in Jimmie." It was part of what Mrs. Hawtry for a long time considered the interference of Cecelia Anne's grandmother that the child should have a monthly allowance, small while she was small and growing with her growth. She was to be allowed to spend it without supervision and to keep an account of it.
Jack agreed, and they walked up to the men in front just as the muleteer came galloping up with his troupe. "What do you want with us?" Hawtry said, advancing to the men. There was a volley of maledictions at the run they had given them.
As Hawtry said, however, that they had been twenty-four hours without food, they were at once taken to the saloon, where breakfast was on the point of being served. No questions were put to them until they had satisfied their hunger; then they told the story of their adventures, which caused quite an excitement among the officers.
Then he made signs of mounting one of the mules, and waved his hand over the surrounding country to signify that he wanted a general ride. The Spaniard nodded, held up five fingers, and touched one of the mules, and did the same with the other. "He wants five shillings a head," Hawtry said. "I don't know," Jack said doubtfully. "I don't suppose he knows much about shillings.
There was, too, an entire absence of the heavy and continuous work in the wet trenches. The great drawback to the position was, indeed, the absence of excitement and change, and the quiet seemed almost preternatural after the almost continual boom of cannon at the front. Jack was pleased to find his chum Hawtry on duty at the height.
It may be five dollars or five anything else. We'd better show him five shillings, and come to an understanding that that is what he means before we get on." The Spaniard, on being shown the five shillings, shook his head, and pointing to a dollar which they had obtained in change on shore, signified that these were the coins he desired. "Oh, nonsense!" Hawtry said indignantly.
Jack, in the meantime, began to enact the part which he had arranged, turning over upon his face, and at times making a loud, sobbing noise. Hawtry, after hesitating for some time, seconded his efforts by burying his face in his hands, and appearing also to give way to violent grief. Shortly after the meal was over, the brigands rose.
