"To own to you the candid truth, 'squire, I do not," answered Ithuel, simply; for the nature of the tie which bound the young Frenchman so closely to Ghita was a profound mystery, in all that related to its more sacred feelings, to a being generally so obtuse on matters of pure sentiment.
With this end, Ithuel was directed to haul his felucca to a proper berth; the first lieutenant was ordered to get as much on board le Feu-Follet as possible, in readiness to profit by events; while Raoul himself, selecting thirty of his best men, commenced preparing the guns on the rocks for active service. A single half-hour wrought a material change in the state of things.
The most disgraceful thing on 'airth is a paupe" so Ithuel pronounced "pauper" "the next is a street-beggar; after him comes your chaps who takes sixpences and shillin's, in the way of small gifts; and last of all an Englishman. All these I despise; but let this Signore say but the word, in the way of trade, and he'll find me as ready and expairt as he can wish. I'd defy the devil in a trade!"
The appeal only rendered them more cautious, and more determined to protect themselves against charges of unfair proceedings. "Have you any further questions to put to the witness, prisoner?" inquired the president of the court. "None at present, sir we will go on, if you please, gentlemen." "Call Ithuel Bolt," said the Judge Advocate, reading the new witness's name from a list before him.
The two gigs could not be more than a hundred yards from the yawl, and Ithuel knew that they were the two fastest-rowing boats of the English fleet so fast, indeed, that Cuffe and his lieutenants had made several successful matches with them, against the officers of different vessels. "Hist!" said Ghita, whose heart was in her mouth. "Oh! Raoul, they come!"
"Is everything safe for a movement, inboard?" whispered Ithuel. Raoul raised his head and looked about him. That a group was collected around the state-room he understood by the movements, the low conversation, and the suppressed laughter; still, no one seemed to be paying any attention to himself.
Griffin you may remember the fellow pretended to be an American." Ithuel was now completely exposed, and he at once perceived that his wisest way was to submit.
On the other hand, Ithuel had an affection for a lie more especially if it served himself, or injured his enemy; finding a mode of reconciling all this to his spirituality that is somewhat peculiar to fanaticism as it begins to grow threadbare.
"I never entered," returned Ithuel, taking the word in its technical meaning; "they pressed me, as if I had been a dog they wanted to turn a spit, and kept me seven long years fighting their accursed battles, and otherwise sarving their eends. I was over here, last year, at the mouth of the Nile, and in that pretty bit of work and off Cape St.
"Honor the saints!" repeated Ithuel, looking curiously round him, as he took a seat at a third table, shoving aside the glasses at the same time, and otherwise disposing of everything within reach of his hand, so as to suit his own notions of order, and then leaning back on his chair until the two ends of the uprights dug into the plaster behind him, while the legs on which the fabric was poised cracked with his weight; "honor the saints! we should be much more like to dishonor them!
