"I'm sure I shan't need any, but if I do, I promise to remember your kindness, and apply." "It will be a pleasure for me to serve you. With whom shall you come? I should like to know the name, in case I should miss you in the crowd." "I expect to be with Captain Kempt, of the United States Navy."
He is too much of a gentleman to have shown any surprise at my somewhat boisterous accosting of him, and you know I didn't remember him at all, but I saw that you were under his care, and chanced it. Luckily it seems to have been Captain Kempt after all, but I fear I surprised him, taking him by storm, as it were."
Dorothy was an early riser, and one morning, entering the parlor from her room she saw, lying upon the table, a letter with a Russian stamp, but addressed in an unknown hand to her friend Katherine Kempt. She surmised that here was the first communication from the Prince, and expected to learn all about it during the luncheon hour at the latest.
Matthias's did not trouble himself, as Phillida did, about the lost sheep in the wilderness of the lettered avenues. His own flock, well washed and kempt, were much more agreeable subjects of contemplation. Millard sat in revery a long time. He was really afraid that he should presently find himself in love with Miss Callender, and such a marriage was contrary to his whole plan of life.
"Just show them into the morning room," said Dorothy, rising. "Captain Kempt, it is awfully good of you to have listened so patiently to a scheme of which you couldn't possibly approve." "Patiently!" sniffed the daughter. "Now I want you to do me another kindness." She went to the desk and picked up a piece of paper. "Here is a check I have signed a blank check.
The next morning, early, he came into the Thirty-fourth Street study, combed, kempt, shining, cared for to a superlative degree; with a note in his mouth signifying that his name was Mop and that he was The Boy's. He was The Boy's, and The Boy was his, so long as he lived, ten happy years for both of them.
I don't know what the regulations are, but if it is possible to be married quietly, say in the afternoon, will you consent to that, and then write a letter to Captain Kempt, thanking him for the trip on the yacht, and I'll write, thanking him for all he has done for me, and after that we'll make for England together.
Sir James Kempt, who commanded our brigade, in passing one of the captured waggons in the evening, saw a soldier loading himself with money, and was about to have him conveyed to the camp as a prisoner, when the fellow begged hard to be released, and to be allowed to retain what he had got, telling the general that all the boxes in the waggon were filled with gold.
I think your remark is unkind, especially as I've just been praising the watermanship of your men." "Now, are you boys tired of this summer resort?" asked Captain Kempt. "Is your baggage checked, and are you ready to go? Most seaside places are deserted this time of year." "We'll be ready in a moment, captain," cried his future son-in-law. "I must run up and get the Governor.
There has been a mutiny among the garrison, but I have quelled it." The officer saluted again, gave an order, and the launch's nose pointed for the rock. "Governor," observed Lamont, as the old man sank again into his seat, "you've earned your passage to Stockholm. You need not work for it." THE girls on the yacht had no expectation that Captain Kempt would come back with the two young men.
