Margit, on the other hand, behaved with the coolest composure: and I had some trouble in persuading her to remain below decks and out of sight. In five weeks Mr. had spent at least as many thousands of pounds; and still matters were at a stand when, one day, Mr. Tomlinson reported a boat under our quarter demanding speech with us.
From the time that Margit Larsson saved Gustavus Vasa from capture by the Danish soldiers by hiding him in her cellar, the women of Sweden have exercised a powerful influence in politics, although it has been indirect, and the ablest and most progressive to-day prefer that their present political condition shall remain unchanged.
Margit Salgo really has made her quite human, you know." "Say!" grumbled Bobby, "she can hand out demerits just as easy as ever. And she had her sense of humor extracted years ago." "Has that fault cropped up lately, my dear?" asked Laura, laughing. "It must be so. What happened, Bobby?"
But she halted too, and said quite coolly looking at me straight "Yes? Oh yes; very much." That same evening I spoke to Obed as we sat alone with our pipes. "I suppose," said I as carelessly as I could, "Margit Pedersen will be leaving us before long." He looked up sharply, and began to shift the logs on the hearth. "What makes you say so?" he asked.
Indeed one of the magistrates had frankly appealed to Mr. to hire a substitute for Margit among the negro women at Macao: and our friend engaged that by spending a few hundred additional dollars he would get the Dutchwoman's corpse accepted as full discharge for the offence, provided that Mrs. Lanyon could be smuggled out of the Canton River. This Captain Wills readily undertook to do. Mr.
"I shouldn't wonder if Margit flew the coop some day." "I am not sure, Miss Hargrew," said Mr. Mann, without a smile, "that I ought not to take you to task for your language. It really is inexcusable." "Oh, dear me, Mr. Mann, don't you begin!" begged the culprit "If I am academic in school in my speech, let me be relieved out of sessions, I pray." "But about Margit Salgo?" queried Laura.

I shouldn't 'ave believed it, Kitty. "That chap at Margit ought to 'ave tole me about it. All 'e tole me was that I got a weak chess. "That other chap, 'e ain't going to do much. Wonder what I ought to do about 'im?"
"Now, if it was Margit who wanted to go," sighed Nell Agnew, speaking of the half-Gypsy girl who had just come under the care of Miss Carrington. "Or Eve Sitz," added Bobby. "But Eve says she gets out-of-door work enough on the farm in the summer. Camping out is no fun for her." "I don't know what to say about Lily," began Laura. "I cannot understand mother promising such a thing.
No longer touching her, he felt his grievance revive. "But you are so strong," she murmured. "This is no place for you," growled Swithin, "I'm going to see you home." "Oh!" cried Rozsi; "but papa and Margit!" "That's their look-out!" and he hurried her away. She slid her hand under his arm; the soft curves of her form brushed him gently, each touch only augmented his ill-humour.
"You didn't have a sudden attack of lockjaw, did you?" "Don't fret, Jess," said Bobby sharply. "I know when to keep my mouth shut on occasion. I came right away from there to find you girls. Something must be done about it." "Oh, dear me!" groaned Nellie. "If Margit Salgo had only been allowed to take the part!" "What did I tell you?" almost snarled Bobby.
