Frank, with the carving fork poised for a thrust, sat in the stern. The wind, following the departed thunderstorm, blew from the east. Priscilla set sail on the Tortoise. Jimmy hoisted his lug, but was obliged to row as well as sail in order to keep in touch with his consort. The boats grounded almost together on the shingly beach of Inishbawn.
A sudden drift of fine spray, blown off the face of the water, swept over Inishbawn, stinging and soaking the watchers at the tents. "Lord Torrington is on board all right," said Priscilla, "but it's not father who's steering. It's Peter Walsh." The Tortoise flew forward, dipping her bow so that once or twice the water lipped over it.
Lord Torrington stepped carefully on board and settled himself crouched into a position undignified for a member of the Cabinet, on the side of the centreboard case recommended by Peter Walsh. "Got your sandwiches all right?" said Sir Lucius, "and the flask? Good. Then off you go. Now, Peter, Inishbawn first and after that wherever you're told to go. If you get wet, Torrington, don't blame me.
Fortunately she found out about uric acid just before she actually did the deed, so that was all right. It always is in the end, you know. That's one of the really good points about Aunt Juliet. All the same I wish I could remember that word." "I don't quite see," said Frank, "how they'll stop him landing on Inishbawn if he wants to." "Nor do I; but they will.
"If I'd known," said Kinsella sulkily, "that half the country would be out after them ones, I'd have drownded them in the sea and their tents along with them before I let them set foot on Inishbawn." "Lord Torrington won't do you any harm," said Frank. "He's only trying to get back his daughter."
Priscilla stepped into the boat and took the tiller. "Did I hear you say, Miss, that you're thinking of going on to Inishbawn?" "You did not hear me say anything about Inishbawn; but I may go there all the same if I've time. I want to see the Kinsellas' new baby." "If you'll take my advice, Miss," said Peter, "you'll not go next nor nigh Inishbawn." "And why not?"
She stood up and brandished a large carving fork. "This," she said, "will be just as effective as a revolver. You take it, Frank, and sit close to him in the boat. The moment he stops rowing or tries to go in any direction except Inishbawn you " She made a vicious stab in the air and then handed the fork to Frank. A quarter of an hour later the party started. Mr.
They won't let you, They tell every kind of ridiculous story to head people off." The thought of his prowess as an oarsman had restored Frank's self-respect. He recollected the reason given by Jimmy Kinsella for not allowing Miss Rutherford to land on Inishbawn. "I don't see anything ridiculous about it," he said. "Young Kinsella simply said that it wasn't a suitable place for ladies.
The Blue Wanderer, with her little lug, sailed slowly even when there was a fresh wind right behind her. It was half-past ten when Priscilla and Frank ran her aground on Inishbawn. Joseph Antony Kinsella had seen them coming and was standing on the shore ready to greet them. "You're too venturesome, Miss, to be coming out all this way in that little boat," he said.
"I will," said Priscilla, "unless you allow me to land these two at once." Joseph Antony looked long and carefully at Mr. Pennefather. "What about the other young gentleman?" he said, "the one that has the sore leg?" "He doesn't want to set foot on Inishbawn," said Priscilla. "And the young lady," said Joseph Antony, "that does be taking the water in the little boat along with Jimmy?"
