"Captain Headley," interrupted the lieutenant, with unusual deference of manner, for he was anxious that no further reference should be made to the subject in presence of the invalids and women, who, attracted by the news of the arrival of the boat, had gathered around, partly from curiosity, partly for the purpose of getting their expected supply of fish, "do you not think it better to examine Corporal Nixon first, and then the others in turn?"
Not only did Master Headley really love his trusty foreman too well to expose him to such chances, but Tibble knew too well that there were brutal young men to whom his contorted-visage would be an incitement to contempt and outrage, and that if racked with rheumatism, he would only be an incumbrance. There was nothing for it but to put Kit Smallbones at the head of the party.
Headly, though I have not the honor of his acquaintance, as I think him a gentleman, and a man of feeling, in spite of his "Italy and the Italians," were he using the same style in blaming his countrymen as he blames mine, Mr. Headley, I say, would execrate all the americans!
"Has Mr. Headley had anything to eat?" asked Valencia, who longed to run away to her own room, but dared not. "He is eating now like any ged, ma'am; and Major Campbell's making him eat too." "He must be very ill," thought she, "for mon Saint Père never to have come near us yet:" and then she thought with terror that her Saint Père might have guessed the truth, and be angry with her.
There was to be a great tilting-match in honour of the betrothal, and Master Alderman Headley wanted his apprentices back again, and having been satisfied by a laborious letter from Dennet, sent per carrier, that they were in good health, despatched orders by the same means, that they were to hire horses at the Antelope and return Jasper coming back at the same time, though his aunt would fain have kept him longer.
Remembering well the good young Mistress Streatfield, and knowing that the Antelope was a large old house of excellent repute, where she often lodged persons of quality attending on the court or needing country air, Master Headley added Giles to the party at his own expense, and wished also to send Dennet for greater security, only neither her grandmother nor Mrs Hope could leave home.
Headley, what can a man do more than die for his countrymen?" "Live for them. It is a longer work, and therefore a more difficult and a nobler one." Frank spoke in a somewhat sad and abstracted tone. "But, tell me," she said, "what all this has to do with with the deep matter of which you spoke?" "Simply that it is the law of all earth, and heaven, and Him who made them.
"Heed not, I ever loved the black!" she cried, as her eyes sparkled. "So I have done what was to thy mind, my lass?" said Master Headley, who, without ever having thought of consulting his daughter, was delighted to see that her heart was with him. "Sir, I did not know fully but indeed I should never have been so happy as I am now."
Then came on another, but him I dealt with by the back stroke as used in the tilt- yard at Clarendon." "I trow we shall know him again, sir. Holy saints to think such rascals should haunt so nigh us," the hostess was exclaiming. "Pity for the poor goodman, Master Headley. A portly burgher was he, friendly of tongue and free of purse.
Such was the reasoning of the Virginian, whose greatest source of discomfort now was the apprehension of serious reprimand, if not something worse, from the austere Captain Headley, whose displeasure, he was certain, would be so much the greater on account of the loss of the unfortunate Collins.
