Surprize and joy rendered him incapable either of speaking to him, or hearing the apologies he was beginning to make for having disobeyed his commands: but he fell upon his neck and gave him an embrace, which dissipated all Horatio's fears, and left him no room to doubt if his peace was made.
"Mutiny?" "Ye see, sir," the Bo'sun went on to explain, "orders is orders, and if she don't love Master Horatio well, she ought to." "Why?" "Because they was made for each other. Because they was promised to each other years ago. It were all arranged an' settled 'twixt Master Horatio's father, the Earl, and Lady Cleone's guardian, the Cap'n."
He came running out to walk home with her. "Did you know it was there?" she said. "No. I thought I'd lost it. You see what it is?" "Part of your book." "Horatio's book." "But you wrote it." "Yes. That's what he fired me out for. He got tired of the thing and asked me to go on with it. He called it working up his material. I went on with it like that, and he wouldn't have it.
But she could see the time coming when her chief joy would be their making him out, bit by bit, together. She even discerned a merry devil in Fanny that amused itself at Horatio's expense; that was aware of Barbara's amusement and condoned it. There were ultimate decencies that prevented any open communion with Fanny.
But the villain has a wife of his own, and a couple of young children, who are left to suffer for want of the actual necessaries of life. Pendlam has given up preaching, you know, in order to devote himself entirely to the Association." "Horatio, I am afraid that all is lost. I did hope better things of Susan. Wretched, wretched girl!" Tears came into Horatio's eyes.
"Ralph is my cousin. He was Horatio's secretary." "Was." Barbara considered it. "Did he make jokes, then?" "Lots. But that wasn't why he left.... It was an awful pity, too; because he's most dreadfully hard up." "If he's hard up," Barbara said, "I couldn't bear to think I've done him out of a job." "You haven't. He had to go." Fanny turned again to her flowers and Barbara to her Stores list.
The expedition finally worked its way out of the ice and sailed for home. Horatio's next voyage was to the East Indies, aboard the Seahorse, one of the vessels of a squadron under the command of Sir Edward Hughes. His attention to duty attracted the notice of his senior officer, on whose recommendation he was rated as a midshipman.
Few Englishmen, however, can think pleasantly of those times when the Hamiltons were at Naples, when Lady Hamilton did her country great services; then recall the picture of the poor woman fed by a charitable neighbour at Calais, think of Horatio's last words, and then of the country that forgets the woman's service, and the hero's dying words.
When first he hears Horatio's story, he seems to incline to the belief that it must be the work of some diabolic agency: "If it assume my noble father's person, I'll speak to it, though hell itself should gape, And bid me hold my peace;" although, characteristically, in almost the next line he exclaims "My father's spirit in arms! All is not well," etc.
The Lay Anthony ends in accident, Mountain Blood in melodrama; The Three Black Pennys, more successful than its predecessors, fades out like the Penny line; Java Head turns sharply away from its central theme, almost as if Hamlet should concern itself during a final scene with Horatio's personal perplexities.
