We were yesterday favoured with the company of almost all the neighbouring gentlemen and their ladies, who, by appointment with one another, met to congratulate our happiness. Nothing could be more obliging, more free and affectionate, than the ladies; nothing more polite than the gentlemen. Jervis's care and skill; who is an excellent manager.
"Nothing like so large as Sir Jervis's diamonds; but choice specimens no doubt. Might I ask what the value ?" She stopped. The inscription had attracted her notice: she began to read it aloud: "In loving memory of my father. Died " Her face instantly became rigid. The next words were suspended on her lips. Alban seized the chance of making her betray herself under pretense of helping her.
And here I recalled Jervis's words: "The girl must have been in it if the father was." It was a dreadful thought, even though only speculatively uttered, and my heart rejected it; rejected it with an indignation that rather surprised me.
For Jervis's discipline began at the top, with the division and ship commanders. One of the senior admirals under him persisting in a remonstrance, beyond the point which he considered consistent with discipline, was sent home.
But if you would care to come down here and take his place, you would be very useful to me; and if there should be anything to be done in the Bellinghams' case, I am sure you would make up in enthusiasm for any deficiency in experience." "I couldn't really take Jervis's place," said I, "but if you would let me help you in any way it would be a great kindness.
The two nurses who attended on him so kindly and so skilfully told her that he was going on well far better, in fact, than they could have expected. And though Sir Jacques Robey did not say much, she had no reason to suppose him other than satisfied. True, Jervis's face looked strained and thin, and there was a cradle over his right foot, showing where the worst injury had been.
But Rose had stepped across the magic barrier, she was half-way back to the work-a-day world not very far, but still far enough to know how she would feel if Bent or Mrs. Bent surprised her in Jervis's arms. A few moments ago she would hardly have cared. "Let's go into the Cathedral now," she said, and, to break the cruelty of her silent refusal of what he asked, she held out her hand.
It is said that the Captain of the Fleet drew Jervis's attention to this breach of discipline. "Ay," replied the old seaman, "and if ever you offend in the same way, I promise you my forgiveness beforehand." For a while Nelson took the brunt of the hostile fire from half a dozen ships, but not for long.
No, no, said he, I have overcome all that; and as you are to go away, I look upon you now as Mrs. Jervis's guest while you both stay, and not as my servant; and so you may say what you will. But I'll tell you, Pamela, why you need not take this matter in such high disdain! You have a very pretty romantic turn for virtue, and all that.
Troubridge, fully expecting this order, obeyed at once; and Jervis's signal was scarce unfurled when, by the flapping of the Culloden's sails, he saw it was receiving execution. "Look at Troubridge!" he shouted. "Doesn't he handle his ship as though the eyes of all England were on him? I would to God they were, that she might know him as I know him!"
