The young man was killed very soon after, and left his child with its mother. The black Prince forgave his daughter and bequeathed to her a handsome sum of money. I suppose that it was on this account that Jowler married Mrs.
But the last of all to say "good-by" was my beloved Jowler. And when he looked at me as he used, to know whether I was in fun or earnest, with more expression in his bright brown eyes than any human being has, I fell back under his weight and sobbed, and could not look at any one.
When they had finished, they fell to drinking of Healths, great bowls of Punch being brought to them for that purpose. The first toast was the King, and that fell to Jowler. "The King!" says he, rising. "Over the water?" they ask. "No," answers Jowler. "The King everywhere. King James, and God bless him." "I won't drink that," objects the Chaplain. "You know I am a King George man."
And as she spoke she brandished a large Frying Pan, from which great drops of hot grease smelling very savoury by the way dropped on to the sanded floor. The other Blacks seemed in nowise disturbed by this Dispute, but were rather amused thereby, and gathered in a ring round Jowler and Grumps and the Fat Woman, laughing.
Keeper was therefore taken to the city, where he was caressed and fed by everybody; and the disgraced Jowler was left at the cottage, with strict injunctions to the man to hang him up, as a worthless unprofitable cur.
"Pooh!" cried Martin; but he knew very well that his master's words were common-sense; and we left him on guard with a double-barreled gun, and Jowler to keep watch with him.
We wore powder in those days; and a regulation pigtail of seventeen inches, a brass helmet surrounded by leopard-skin with a bearskin top and a horsetail feather, gave the head a fierce and chivalrous appearance, which is far more easily imagined than described. Attired in this magnificent costume, I first presented myself before Colonel Jowler.
"Yes, we know him well." "Indeed! And what do you know of him?" "That he is a dangerous Irishman." "Right! And it was he, was it not, that pulled down, or caused to be pulled down, my rick of oak bark?" "It was." "And who was it that made away with my dog Jowler, that used to guard the tan-yard?" "It was the person that you suspect."
I need not say that with all these advantages I did that which a number of clever fellows have done before me I fell in love, and proposed to marry immediately. But how to overcome the difficulty? It is true that I loved Julia Jowler loved her to madness; but her father intended her for a Member of Council at least, and not for a beggarly Irish ensign.
One corner of the stable, wherein a quantity of straw was placed, was appropriated for the comfort of the dogs, Ringwood and Jowler, which had been presented to Glenn by his obliging friend, after they had exhibited their skill in the bear hunt.
