In another moment he was showing his white teeth and salaaming, and together they walked back to The Hurst, where Georgie palpitated behind the yew-hedge. Together they entered and Lucia's eye wore its most benignant aspect. "I want to introduce to you, Guru," she said without a stumble, "a great friend of mine. This is Mr Pillson, Guru; Guru, Mr Pillson.
She had been too precipitate, too rash, too ill-advised, too sudden, as Lucia would say. She ought to have known that Lucia, with her August parties coming on, would have jumped at a Guru, and withheld him for her own parties, taking the wind out of Lucia's August sails. Lucia had already suborned Georgie to leave this note, and begin to filch the Guru away.
"Suffer me to press the hand which will repair so many wrongs, comfort so many afflicted, be extended peacefully and humbly to so many enemies." "Unhappy man that I am," exclaimed the signor, "one thing, at least, I can quickly arrest and repair." Federigo listened attentively to the relation of Lucia's abduction. "Ah, let us lose no time!" he exclaimed breathlessly.
"Really and truly, quite honestly and frankly, Lucia, was that the case with you?" Lucia's eyes fell. She could not say yes. "I will tell you," Mrs. Costello went on, "what I believe to be the truth, and you can set me right if I am wrong.
They went down the beach together, with arms around each other's waists, and their footsteps guided by the still-burning torch lying on the sand. I followed, and in another minute I had the tiller in my hand, and told Tepi to push off, as Tematau ran up the jib. "How now for the passage?" I cried, as I slipped my arm around Lucia's waist, and her lips met mine, "how now for the passage, Tepi?
Horton's surprise and Lucia's dismay, Rebecca declared that she must go home; and taking her sunbonnet, with some stammering words of excuse she hastened away. "A very ill-bred child," declared Mrs. Horton, "and I shall be well pleased if your father can take us away from this forsaken spot on his next trip." Lucia sat puzzled and half frightened at Rebecca's sudden departure.
He did not know why they looked at him with those kind glances, nor why Lucia told him that Robert was close at hand if he should want anything in the night. He slept in the room that had once been Lucia's, the room above the library, looking to the western hills. He did not know that they had given it him because it was a good room to be ill and to get well in.
For Lucia had told her friend that the Polly, of which Lucia's father was captain, and the sloop Unity, owned and sailed by a Captain Jones of Boston, would be escorted to Machias by an armed British ship; and if a liberty pole was set up the British would fire upon the town. So it was no wonder that Rebecca was frightened and ready to listen to Lucia's plan to avert the danger.
"And then?" Lucia's face, which had been overcast with care, was now radiant. "Then I should have done something for him besides making him miserable. Will you ask him, Kitty?" "You're a fool, Lucy, and I'm another. But I'll ask him. To-morrow, though; not to-day." She waited to see what to-morrow would bring forth, for she was certain it would bring forth something.
As the King passed on his inspection, his little hand went up in a smart salute. His Majesty stopped, smiled, and returned the salute gravely. Beppi waited until he had walked on, then he buried his face in Lucia's skirts, and wept from sheer joy. Lucia's pride knew no bounds.
