At twelve o'clock at night, the first part of the port watch came on deck, and Little and Ibbotson tried to ascertain where they were. The tell-tale still indicated southwest by west as the course. A bright light on the shore bore south-east by south. Mr. Fluxion watched the light and the compass. "Keep her south-west by south," said he to the hands at the wheel.
When they reached home, Margaret was quite warm and comfortable, and her hair drying rapidly under Morris's hands. Hester was convinced that everybody might dine as usual. Margaret herself came down-stairs to tea; and the only consequence of the accident seemed to be, that Charles was kept very busy opening the door to inquirers how Miss Ibbotson was this evening.
The girls looked at each other, and strove to keep the corners of their mouths in order. In the midst of the conflict of sentiment on these two subjects, Mrs Rowland's ear caught what Sophia was saying that there was one person in the same house with Mr Walcot who properly estimated the Hopes Mr Enderby, who was engaged to Margaret Ibbotson.
Mrs Rowland was aware of Mrs James having dropped that she and her husband had nothing to do with anybody's family quarrels; that there was always a great deal to be said on both sides in such cases; and that they had never seen anything but what was amiable and pleasant in Miss Ibbotson and her connections.
I own, Priscilla, I would fain bestow on Margaret a sister whom she might respect rather than forgive." "Pray how many persons have you persuaded that Margaret Ibbotson is to be my sister-in-law?" "Very few; for your sake, scarcely any.
When the rest of the fellows see what is up, they can take care of themselves," continued Little, who did not believe in the possibility of a failure. "Very well; we will suppose we get on shore all right what then? We shall be in Brest, which is a fortified city, with gates through which none can pass without permission," said Ibbotson. "Never mind the gates. We shall leave by railroad for Paris.
The students were all required, at these lectures, to be prepared with paper and pencils, so that they could take notes, especially of dates and statistics. "Our party consists of Little, Ibbotson and myself," Herman wrote on his paper, which he placed so that Perth could read it. "Have you any stamps?" Perth wrote. "No; but Ibbotson has a letter of credit on which he can raise some."
As soon as you raise some money to pay for the tickets, I will take care of the rest." "I have no doubt we can raise the money. My father sent me a letter of credit for five hundred francs. I heard my cousin say he could get money in any large city on his letter of credit, for the bankers know each other," added Ibbotson.
Mr Hope called out to the little girls, that whoever should find any sort of a nest in the meadow, for Miss Margaret Ibbotson, should have a ride on his horse. Away flew the children; and Hester and Sophia came from the water-side to know what all the bustle was about. Fanny returned to inquire whether the nests must be in the meadow; whether just outside would not do.
She knew that Mr Jones was apt to accommodate Miss Ibbotson with a choice of meat, in preference to his other customers; and that Mrs Jones had spoken indignantly to a neighbour about fine gentlemen from London that think little of breaking one young heart after another, to please their own vanity, and never come back to look upon the eyes that they have made dim, and the cheeks that grow pale for them.
