The three then took generous tips from their purses, and put the money in the hand of their host. "Will you please give this to Letta and Peter?" they asked. "Certainly, certainly! and I thank you in their names for it. And now, boys, you will have to walk several miles to reach the little village where Fritz's father said you would stay over night on your way home."
I was so glad, for they won't be back again for a good long while, and Meerta and Bungo won't get any more hard knocks, and whippings, till they come back." "Ha! they won't come back in a hurry not these ones at least," said Sam in a voice that frightened Letta, inducing her to cling closer to Robin.
While she was yet describing her feelings on arrival, a voice shouting Letta was heard, and she instantly struggled from Robin's knee. "O let me go!" she cried. "It's Meerta calling me, and I never let her call twice." "Why? Would she be angry?" "No, but she would be sorry. Do let me go!" "But won't you let us go too?" asked Sam. "O yes, if you want to come.
I think it is highly probable that your parents are there, Letta, and as we have no particular reason for going anywhere else, and can't hope to make for England in a tub like this, we will just lay her head for Sarawak." This was accordingly done, their new course being nor'-east and by east.
We can't afford to measure our blows with such scoundrels; only if we fire we shall alarm those in the cave, and have less time to get under weigh." "What is to be done with Letta while we attack?" asked Robin. "I'll wait here till you come for me," said Letta, with a sad little smile on her tear-bedewed face; "I'm quite used to see fighting."
"Well, please yourself, Stumpy," said Slagg with a good-humoured laugh, "you never was the best o' company, so I won't break my heart." At the hotel to which they had been recommended two rooms were engaged, a small single room for Letta, and one with two beds and a sofa for themselves.
The fact is, my dear boy, that you and Letta have been rubbing your intellects together for so many years, that you have electrified each other the one positively, the other negatively; and even a Manx cat with an absent mind and no tail could hardly fail to observe the telegraphic communication which you have established by means of that admirable duplex instrument, a pair of eyes."
So did those of the monkey as it leaped back a foot, and formed its mouth into a little O of remonstrance. Robin's mouth expanded; he burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter, and the monkey was again on the eve of flight, when voices were heard approaching, and, next instant, Letta came running forward, followed at some distance by Sam and the others.
Indeed, a considerable time elapsed before they would admit to themselves that there was a possibility of such a fate, although they knew, both from Meerta and Letta, that no ship of any kind, save that of the pirates, had been seen for the last eighteen months, and the few sails that did chance to appear, were merely seen for a few hours like sea-gulls on the horizon, from which they arose and into which they vanished.
At all events Robin Wright, while stumbling among the rocks and rugged ground of that midnight march in Mull, dripping wet and with the elements at war around him, conceived the idea of declaring his unalterable, not to say unutterable, attachment to Letta Langley, who leant heavily on the arm of her preserver. But Robin was intensely sensitive.
