"I had noticed that my pistol and Macklin's knife had disappeared from the water tank, and supposed that he, as the first act in his new position, had confiscated them. So, as I had no use for a gun while 'fore the mast, I put the matter from my mind. I meant to sing small, until my hand was well. "But what followed in that ship shows how little we can depend upon our good resolutions.
Straight and true the big fist drove into the face of the smaller man, but Robert Macklin found that he had punched a hole in thin air. It was as if the very wind of the blow had brushed the head of Ronicky Doone to one side, and at the same time he seemed to sway and stagger forward. A hard lean fist struck Robert Macklin's body.
Pope, who saw that Shylock, hailed it as "the Jew that Shakespeare drew" and Pope, among other things, was one of the editors of Shakespeare. Cooke, who had seen Macklin's Shylock, and also those of Henderson, King, Kemble, and Yates, adopted, maintained, and transmitted the legend of Macklin.
Then they're guessin' pretty strong that I'm the party that's put a lot of their scabs outa commission. Macklin's ben their foreman for years an' years why I was in knee pants when he was foreman. Well, he's sick an' all in. They gotta have somebody to take his place. Then, too, I've been with 'em a long time. An' on top of that, I'm the man for the job. They know I know horses from the ground up.
"A celebrated Orator of Rome, who in the polished and persuasive is considered a master in his art." "Yes, yes; but I'll be bound he couldn't teach Elocution." Of course all this raillery was more attractive to the public than Macklin's serious and pedagogic dissertations. The result may be imagined. Foote's oratory was crowded; Macklin's empty. But that was not the worst.
Some kind of armed neutrality must have sprung up between Macklin and Parker with regard to me; but I could only ascribe the skipper's new personal attitude to a distrust of my philosophy, which, while impelling me to make the best of matters, may have seemed to him the calm before the storm. I escaped Macklin's abuse, however, except in the dog watches, when all hands were on deck.
For a part of Macklin's scheme, whereby he was to instruct the public and fill his own pockets at the same time, was a lecture-room on the "plan of the ancient Greek, Roman, and Modern French and Italian Societies of liberal investigation."
They got good memories, some of those gents. We'll start to find him, which had ought to be pretty easy." "Ronicky, I'd never of thought of that in a million years!" "It ain't thinking that we want now, it's acting. When can you start with me?" "I'll be fit tomorrow." "Then tomorrow we start." Macklin's Library
That suddenly became the first consideration in Sheila Macklin's mind. How to do this? How to save Tunis from being overwhelmed by the result of his own ill-considered deed? Impulse and love on Tunis Latham's part had brought about this terrible situation. Not that the girl blamed him in the least.
She held up a small rusty iron box that, as she tilted it, yawned to disgorge a shower of gold coins. "The Macklin treasure! We've found it!" cried Betty, beginning to dig like an excited terrier. "Help me hunt, Bob! It must be Mrs. Macklin's treasure, mustn't it?" "Looks that way," admitted Bob.
