On the table, and about the room, were the charts and maps on which the heavy-hearted Instrument-maker had again and again tracked the missing vessel across the sea, and on which, with a pair of compasses that he still had in his hand, he had been measuring, a minute before, how far she must have driven, to have driven here or there: and trying to demonstrate that a long time must elapse before hope was exhausted.
In this way we shall have the temperature of the "galley" registered, and later on we shall probably be able to reckon up what we have had for dinner in the course of the week. Whether Professor Mohn will be overjoyed with this result is another question, which the instrument-maker and director did not care to go into.
The Captain looked at the Instrument-maker, and looked at Florence, and again at the Instrument-maker. 'To-morrow, then, he suggested, at last. 'Yes, yes. To-morrow, said the old man. 'Think of me to-morrow. Say to-morrow. 'I shall come here early, mind, Sol Gills, stipulated the Captain. 'Yes, yes.
'All well, said Mr Gills, pushing the bottle towards him. He took it up, and having surveyed and smelt it, said with extraordinary expression: 'The? 'The, returned the Instrument-maker. Upon that he whistled as he filled his glass, and seemed to think they were making holiday indeed. Love! Honour! And Obey! Overhaul your catechism till you find that passage, and when found turn the leaf down.
"You mean, I suppose." observed the instrument-maker, "that you didn't seem to like him much." "Well, uncle," returned the boy laughing, "perhaps so; I never thought of that." Solomon looked a little graver as he finished his dinner, and glanced from time to time at the boy's bright face.
So sedulously were the records of trades kept that the authorities never lost touch of the men, especially of those engaged in intricate or delicate trades. On one occasion a skilled instrument-maker journeyed 1200 miles to Kantara in order to do a job for which he happened to be the only man at the moment available! And similar cases might be multiplied almost indefinitely.
Capraja, who regards the arts as an assemblage of means by which he can harmonize, in himself, all external nature with another mysterious nature that he calls the inner life, shares all ideas of this instrument-maker, who at this moment is composing an opera.
In addition to all these new rooms, we had thus gained an extra protection for our house. While this work was in progress, our instrument-maker had his hands full; the clockwork mechanism of the thermograph had gone wrong: the spindle was broken, I believe. This was particularly annoying, because this thermograph had been working so well in low temperatures.
Then he told me that you had spoken to him about me, and that he had found me employment in the House accordingly, and that I was expected to be attentive and punctual, and then he went away. I thought he didn't seem to like me much. 'You mean, I suppose, observed the Instrument-maker, 'that you didn't seem to like him much? 'Well, Uncle, returned the boy, laughing.
Time, sure of foot and strong of will, had so pressed onward, that the year enjoined by the old Instrument-maker, as the term during which his friend should refrain from opening the sealed packet accompanying the letter he had left for him, was now nearly expired, and Captain Cuttle began to look at it, of an evening, with feelings of mystery and uneasiness.
