They worked hard, but their industry was occasionally interrupted by the unaccountable laziness of Andrew, who, after toiling with unremitting fury for some days, and scarcely getting up from his desk, would disappear, and perhaps not return for several nights. Henley remonstrated with him, but in vain. "But what do you do, my dear fellow?" he asked. "What becomes of you?"
It is spiritual and pure; let's keep it that way. Now I'll leave you. Don't forget." "I'll obey your commands," Henley answered, fervidly. "I know my duty and I'll try to do it." She hung back a moment longer, her pretty, arching brows drawn together in thought. "I'm more worried about you and Hank Bradley than you may guess," she said. "Even if you don't meet him, he may do you some other injury.
Mr Henley and I intended to occupy one of the huts and the crew the other. We had found a pure, abundant stream of water, so that we were in no way badly off. On the possibility of the ship having merely stood off for the night, and having been becalmed and unable to get back in the evening, we again ascended to the peak to look for her.
You are a particularly dangerous man, with your connection with Mrs. Henley. You must take special good care nothing of it reaches her. Guy's first impression was, that he was the last person to mention it to Mrs.
Then it is not unusual for a set of old salts to attempt to play off a trick on a young midshipman who holds himself somewhat a cut above the common run. No fear. We shall have to put our noble skipper into the sick-lists there, or I am very much mistaken." Such was the reply the doctor made to all Mr Henley told him.
So Mr. Henley, and it please, you, was chosen, by father and daughter. Though she owns she proposed it first; for she does not scruple to own all which she does not scruple to act. The holy mission was his, to dole out salutary documents of reproof, and apothegms of Epictetus; and to try whether he could not release the bird-limed owl. I was overlooked! I am unfit for the office!
I knew this, that however sincerely she might have once supposed she loved Henley, his neglect, cruelty, dissipation, had long ago driven all sentiment from her. Before we met, her girlhood affection had been utterly crushed and destroyed. Loyal, she was, and true to every tradition of her womanhood. No audacity, no boldness, could penetrate her reserve, or lower her self-respect.
I'll have to cut household expenses in a good many ways to do it, but the edifice must be built. I get out the plans every day, but I shed tears so that I can't hardly see the lines. This brings up what I wanted to ask you, Alfred." "To ask me?" Henley echoed, and he moved his feet and hands uneasily. "Yes.
The Muse of piratical enterprise returned, and "Treasure Island" reached its haven, with no applause, in the paper for boys. In the following May, Messrs. Cassell proposed to publish "Treasure Island" in book form, being spirited up, I suppose, by Mr. Henley, who was editing for them "The Magazine of Art," in which Stevenson wrote two or three articles.
'I am greatly astonished, as well as concerned, at your application, which confirms the unpleasant reports 'Why say anything of reports? said Philip. 'Reports are nothing. A man is not forced to defend himself from reports. 'Yes, hum ha, the accounts I have received. No. You say there is not to be a word of Mrs. Henley. 'Not a word that can lead her to be suspected.
