Captain Hocken he's a humane gentleman, too, and never graspin' no, never in his life! but I suppose he'd begun to get interested, Captain Hocken ups and suggests as they were wastin' time, mixin' table-salt and water when there was the wide ocean itself overside, to be had for the dippin'. So they tried sea-water." "My poor Pammy."
The student of New Zealand Church History needs to glean his information, bit by bit, from many quarters, but there are certain outstanding authorities to which he will go at the outset. These are not all of equal value, and they need to be used with discrimination. For the life and work of Samuel Marsden, the promised volume by the late Dr. Hocken should take the first place.
While slipping it over her wrist she found time to glance up at Captain Cai, who fumbled confusedly with the rim of his tall hat. "Excuse me, madam no wish to intrude. We'll take ourselves off this minute, eh?" He turned to the child, who, however, did not budge. "Please, don't go. You are ?" "Caius Hocken, ma'am of the Hannah Hoo at your service." "Dear me, what a very pleasant surprise!"
"I reckon that's no game, Caius Hocken, to be takin' up again after all these months; and I warn you to drop it, for 'tis dangerous." Whatever his faults, Cai did not lack courage. "I don't care a cuss for threats, as you might know by this time. What I owe I pay, and there's my trouble. I introduced you to Rogers, didn't I?" "That's true," agreed 'Bias slowly. "What of it?"
D'ye know what Cai Hocken said to me, last night in the garden, when he reckoned as I'd lost my money? No, you don't. 'Look here, he said, 'if you've still a mind to that woman and she've a mind to you, I'll stand aside. That's what he said: and d'ye know what I answered? I told him to go to hell." "I see." Fancy stood musing. "Makes it a bit awkward, eh?
"Listen to this, Captain Hocken 'Observe, sir, that, besides the desire which all men have naturally of supporting the honour of their own government, that sense of dignity and that security to property which ever attends freedom, has' or, as I should prefer to say, have 'a tendency to increase the stock of the free community. Much may be taken where most is accumulated.
"I found a new customer for you this afternoon," he announced, winking mysteriously. "If Cap'n Hunken should call along you'll know what I mean." On his homeward road the industrious man had a stroke of good luck. He espied Captain Hocken, and made haste to overtake him. "Good evenin', Cap'n Cai!" "Ah Mr Philp? Good evenin' to 'ee."
Mrs Bowldler passed one end up to Captain Hocken, high on his ladder: Captain Hunken reached down and took the other end from Palmerston. Between them, as they lifted the broad fillet above the archway, its folds fell apart, and she read: "My! I'd like to be a Queen!" "If I had my way, you WOULD," whispered Palmerston, who, edging close to her, had overheard. "Eh?
"I did not bargain for any speech," she protested. "I in fact I never made a speech in my life. If if Captain Hocken would say a few words " "Ay, Cap'n," exhorted a voice, "speak up for her, like a man now! Seems to us she've given you the right." There was a general laugh, and it brought a heightened flush to Mrs Bosenna's cheek. Cai, not noting it, cleared his throat and doffed his tall hat.
But suddenly a noise outside made them both start and stand listening with beating hearts until all again was still and quiet: then Joan's quick-roused anger failed her, and, repenting her sharp speech, she threw her arms round Eve's neck, crying, "Awh, Eve, don't 'ee lets you and me set 'bout quarrellin', my dear, for if sorrow ain't a-drawin' nigh my name's not Joan Hocken.
