Hardy would not hear of her son's accompanying her to Esbjerg. She left with Sir Charles Lynton, for Horsens, to continue the journey the next day to Esbjerg, where the yacht had been sent to meet them. It was not until the middle of September that John Hardy and his wife, with Pastor Lindal, left Denmark by the overland route for Hardy Place.
Keep the men all under cover of the bulwarks, and you and Lynton can take a couple of rifles and amuse yourselves shooting any wild beasts you see on the starboard bow. But mind you all keep well under cover. You understand?"
"All right; I'll mind," said Lynton, looking at Brace and smiling; "but this ought to be stopped, for the niggers are wonderfully clever at hitting the brig. They shoot right up into the air and guess at their aim, so that the arrows seem to come down out of the sky."
After a walk in the ravine of Lynton, we became aware of a ring upon Ellen's finger; and Emily was allowed at night to hear how and when it had been put on. Ellen only slightly deepened her lovely carnation tints when her father indulged in a little tender teasing and lamentation over himself. She was thoroughly happy and proud of her hero, and not ashamed of owning it.
I shall send you half-yearly checks and you may expect me in three years from this at latest; then my little Madaline will be of a manageable age, and I can take her to Wood Lynton." So they parted, the two who had been so strangely brought together parted with a sense of liking and trust common among Englishmen who feel more than they express. Lord Charlewood looked round him as he left the town.
Close at their shoulder I distinguished Lovell, his clear blue eyes lightening savagely; and stout Tom Lynton, a deeper flush on his honest face, hewing away with all the unscientific strength of his nervous arm.
The next few minutes were passed in silence which was at length broken by Brace. "Look, there he is again," he said; "he's watching us from behind those bushes. Couldn't be a wild man, though, could it?" "Of course not," said Lynton: "whoever saw a wild Indian go off on all-fours? It was a great monkey." "But there are no great monkeys in this part of the world," said Brace.
"I dunno, boss. I never see where it run to in the dark. Only know it didn't run where I wanted it to go. I am thirsty." The second mate handed him a pannikin which he had fetched from the cask lashed amidships, and the American's servant took it and began to drink with avidity. "Here, you, Lynton," cried the captain: "who ordered you to do that?" "Common humanity, sir," said Brace quickly.
"Well, we are near to the town of Lynton it is not twenty minutes walk; we will go to an hotel, and get a carriage. I I can hardly endure this suspense." He never thought to ask her how she had come thither; it never occurred to him.
By this time Lynton was up with the rest, hitting right and left, before facing round with Brace to defend the boats, while Briscoe and Dellow came to their help, and, thus cut off; the six sailors turned off along the river bank and made for the nearest clump of trees, among which they disappeared, leaving their wounded upon the field.
