I did him great injustice, I own." "By no means," said Philip. "Because I did not happen to wish to marry Miss Ibbotson, it does not follow that I should have been wrong if I had. It was feeling this, and a sense of justice to her and myself, which made me refuse to answer your questions, some weeks ago, or to make any promises."
"I don't; I'm as dry as any of you, but I have no idea of backing out." "What are you going to do? What's to be the end of this?" demanded Ibbotson. "I've got enough of it." "That seems to be the general opinion," continued Herman.
Herman and Little were especially earnest, though they still avoided their late leader, Howe. Perth was regarded as lost to them, for he wore a white ribbon on his breast, and had done his duty as an officer. "We will all be pious for a day or two, till Carboy closes his eyes," said Little. "You, and Ibbotson, and I will look out for ourselves, and the rest of the fellows must do the same.
Sophia had intended to be quite distant and silent, but his long-winded praises of all the Rowlands were too much for her. She observed that it was generally considered that there was nobody in Deerbrook to compare with the family in the corner-house the Hopes and Miss Ibbotson.
Well, I hope you and Ibbotson would have the courage and the energy to save me from a watery grave, and all that sort of thing." "What! jump in after you?" inquired Herman. "No! How heavy your wits are to-day! You need not dampen your trousers. Just drop the fourth cutter into the water, pick me up, and then we will find our way to the shore."
Herman, Ibbotson, and Monroe seized him, and dragged him back into the room. The noise attracted the attention of the rest of the mutineers, and some others, who were below. "Go, and call Peaks, Monroe," said Herman. "I will hold him till you come back." "Don't do that," interposed the desperate leader, becoming suddenly calm, and apparently reasonable. "You are all cowards. Let me alone.
But it so happened that Miss Ibbotson had never heard `Fair Enslaver. Margaret knew it, she believed; but she did not.
Her glistening skirt flowed over his modest toes. Her firm, round arm, flung along the chair arm between them, made him feel like Peter Ibbotson before the Venus of Milo it was so perfect a piece of human sculpture.
Half a dozen seamen had given it a kick with their heels as they passed over it, and it was soon in condition to drop into the steerage below. Little stepped upon it, and down it went. Releasing his hold of the bar, he dropped upon the steps below, and disappeared. Sheffield followed him, and then Ibbotson. The hands at the other side of the capstan took care that the party should keep moving.
"We will talk it over to-morrow with Perth and Herman." "But you can't do anything." "Perhaps we can," answered the little villain; but there was not much of his usual elasticity of spirits in his tones. Ibbotson had no faith, and did not even care to talk about what seemed to him such an impracticable scheme. At four bells they were relieved, and the night wore away without any incident.
