"O mamma, what a nice place Kingshaven is!" said Harry, quite enthusiastically. "I'm sure I should never weary here even if we were to stay for a whole year!" "Not even if you didn't see the sea, Harry?" asked his father, laughing. "Oh, but that would be impossible, you know, papa!" answered Harry.
The prisoner, who appeared to feel his position most acutely, and who looked very pale and much worn, was represented by Mr. Charles Doolittle, the well-known barrister of Kingshaven; Mr. Stephens, K.C., appeared on behalf of the prosecution. "Maitland, upon being charged, pleaded guilty. "Mr.
It was not till nearly a fortnight had come and gone half the time they were to spend at Kingshaven that some words of his father's set Harry thinking of this very subject, and the thing struck him as it had never done before. Mr. Leslie had come down at the end of the week, as he always did, to spend Sunday with his family, and to see how his little sick boy was getting on.
How he laughed about poor Jack-a-tar, and took him into his own hands to be thoroughly restored, while his mother took off the blue suit to dry at the kitchen fire! Altogether this was one of the happiest days Harry had spent at Kingshaven. Every day now the children took out the Rover, and many happy hours they all spent with it.

Harry clapped his hands, and ran to tell Walter, who was equally overjoyed at the idea of going to Kingshaven with Harry. So they set to work and counted the weeks and days that must elapse until the holidays came round, and then they once more thoroughly overhauled the "good ship Rover" to see if it was water-tight and ready for its first voyage. It would be literally its first voyage.
Leslie was inexorable no such dabbling among water, either hot or cold, was to be permitted; so the Rover still stuck high and dry in the nursery window. The midsummer holidays at last came round, and Mrs. Leslie, who had been busy packing up and arranging things for some weeks, now resolved to shut up the house for a whole month and, with the family, set off for Kingshaven.
Walter came round early, and in time the whole party were off. After a long but pleasant journey they reached the busy little sea-side resort of Kingshaven a brisk, rising town, greatly patronized by families in search of bathing and safe boating and other marine enjoyments. Briery Cottage, which Mrs. Leslie had hired for the month, was very satisfactory in every way but one.
