Old Joe swore the boy to this obedience, and young Joe has never faltered or hesitated. Still, I know he is sometimes consumed with a longing for the wild life that's natural to one of his race. At times he wanders alone in the fields and woods. He takes pleasure in following the trail of any wild animal if he happens to find such a track.
Joe took the light from Josie's hand and turned it upon a curious object that until now had been hidden by the dead man's body. "It's a infernal machine, sir, an' I ain't sure, even yet, that it won't go off an' blow us all up. He was leanin' down an' bendin' over it, twisting that dial you see, when on a sudden I spotted him. I didn't stop to think.
But Kitty was not quite leichtsinnig, although she did stroll through the garden sometimes with Fritz Goebel, sometimes with Otho Weiss, sometimes with her fellow-countryman Joe Buckley. They were all young, all painters, all poor. Who cared what they did? What if they sat on a beach under a linden-tree and played cat's-cradle like children?
Then the fact that they were supposed to meet the others at the "big oak" in the evening flashed through his mind, and that perhaps on account of this, Joe would object to hoboing any sort of train.
And as he watched the well-built, smartly-rigged vessel with such knowledge as he had acquired during his life at the great English port, he made out, though fairly distant now, that there seemed to be something in Joe Cross's remarks, so that when he closed his glass to go down below, he began to dwell on the possibility of the smart brig being indeed a privateer, and this set him thinking of how horrible it would be if she did turn inimical and make an attempt at what would have been quite an act of piracy if she had followed the Maid of Salcombe out to sea and seized her as a prize.
"I'm afraid we've made your aunt very cross, Nat, my boy," said Uncle Joe, rubbing his hands softly, and looking perplexed and troubled. "Do you think, Nat, that I have been leading you wrong?" "I hope not, uncle," I said, "and I don't think so, for it has been very nice out here in the toolshed, and we have enjoyed ourselves so."
And will you kindly take Blink away, and when she has had her run, place her in my bedroom, with the window closed. Good-night, Joe. Call me late tomorrow morning. "Certainly, sir. Good-night, sir." "Good-night, Joe. Shake hands." When Joe was gone, accompanied by the unwilling Blink, turning her beautiful dark eyes back to the last, Mr.
"Don't drop us now," they seemed to say. "We were your friends when you were poor when she was poor. If she had lived, just think how welcome we should be." Early one evening when Ethel and Joe were dressing for dinner, Emily Giles came in with a long box of roses. Ethel thought they were for herself. "No," said Emily, "they're for your husband." "For me?" Joe laughed. "There's some mistake."
Jobling, heavy of brow, returned to the parlor and looked hard at his wife. "She's late," said Mrs. Jobling, glancing at the clock. "I do hope she's all right, but I should feel anxious about her if she was my gal. It's a dangerous life." "Dangerous life!" said Mr. Jobling, roughly. "What's a dangerous life?" "Why, hers," replied his wife, with a nervous smile. "Joe Brown told me.
"What do you mean?" demanded Blake, half turning his head. "I mean how are you going to stop that runaway, or rescue those fellows?" "I haven't thought, yet, but if we can get ahead of the horse we may be able to stop him before he gets to the road-barrier or to the dangerous turn." "That's right!" panted Joe, the words being fairly jolted out of him. "Head him off I see!"
