Besides the counsel already named, there were on the slave's side a second Upton and a Bonford, and on the master's side a Sigur, a Caperton, and a Lockett. The redemptioners had made the cause their own and prepared to sustain it with a common purse. Neither party had asked for a trial by jury; the decision was to come from the bench.
Captain Lockett, therefore, did not go out of his way to look for more. On arriving at Portsmouth, Bob at once went up to London by coach. He had no lack of clothes, having purchased the effects of an officer, of nearly his own build and stature, who had been killed a short time before. On alighting from the coach he walked to Philpot Lane, and went straight into the counting house.
Captain Lockett gave them to me this morning, but I forgot all about them." "Well, you are a boy!" his sister exclaimed. "This is a nice sample, Gerald, of Bob's thoughtfulness. "Well, give me the letter. Perhaps he writes saying you had better be sent home, by the first chance that offers itself." Bob's face fell.
For an hour and a half they continued their work, and then Captain Lockett said to the second mate: "You can go forward, and hail them to come on board. I think we have been moving through the water about two knots an hour, so we must be three miles seaward of him." As soon as the men came on board, a tot of grog was served out, all round. Then the watch below turned in.
A few more talented types showed of their skills on army motor cycles, some in trick riding and others in racing. One such fanatic was Johnny Lockett who after the war rode briefly for the Norton team until a crash involving a head injury persuaded him to retire from racing.
"I fancy there is a great deal of French wine comes into this country still, sir, in spite of the two nations being at war. It suits both governments to wink at the trade. We want French wine, and they want English money." "That's so, Captain Lockett; but at any rate, we can't send English buyers out there, and must take what they choose to send."
I hear the major went to lodge a complaint, when he landed; but of course the men were only doing their duty, and I hear Eliott gave him a wigging, for endeavouring to make them disobey orders." "I will be on board before gunfire, Captain Lockett. There is no fear of my missing it." "How long do you expect to be away, Captain Lockett?" Mrs. O'Halloran asked. "That depends on how we get on.
"Look here, Gerald," he said, when Captain O'Halloran came out of the orderly room, "I want you to back me up." "Oh, you do? Then I am quite sure that you are up to some mischief or other, Bob, or you wouldn't want me to help you with Carrie." "It is not mischief at all, Gerald. The Antelope came in last night, and I saw Captain Lockett this morning, and I have asked him to come to supper."
Borrowing the word from India we called them gharries and Johnny Lockett removed from his skilled occupation of precision grinder was able to master his to the extent that he could drive around almost clutchless. Our drawing office was six strong, one from an architectural firm, four from engineering firms and one, a sergeant, a free-lance artist.
It takes about three Frenchmen to do the work of an Englishman." "Well, don't get caught, this time, Captain Lockett. I don't want my nephew to learn to speak French, instead of Spanish, for there is very little trade to be done in that quarter, at present; and what there is is all carried on by what I may call 'irregular' channels."
