There was a quick thrust, answered by Godefroy's counter-stroke at the stern; and the canoe grazed past the rocks not a hair's-breadth off. "Sainte Anne ha' mercy!" mumbled Godefroy, baling water from the canoe as we breasted a turn in the river to calmer currents, "Sainte Anne ha' mercy! But the master'd run us over Niagara, if he had a mind."
Cecilia promised to be careful, but desired him to fetch her a sheet of paper. "Law, Miss," cried the boy, with a grin, "I dare say master'd as soon give you a bit of his nose! howsever, I'll go ax."
"Go and ask your master and mistress if they wouldn't like to see us act. We do it very well." "You impudent boy, be off with you!" repeated the woman. "Master'd no more let you nor any other such rubbish set foot in this house "
"And the law what is it?" Mr. Pike broke in. But Davis was uncowed. "The law is that when the officers is inefficient, the crew can take charge peaceably an' bring the ship into port. It's all law an' in the records. There was the Abyssinia, in eighteen ninety-two, when the master'd died of fever and the mates took to drinkin' " "Go on!" Mr. Pike shut him off. "I don't want your citations.
He's a brute, not a man; a dog, I tell you; a cur, a regular cur; that's what he is! 'How is it they don't make complaints of him? 'I dare say, the master'd be pleased! There's no arrears; so what does he care? Yes, you'd better, he added, after a brief pause; 'I should advise you to complain! No, he'd let you know ... yes, you'd better try it on.... No, he'd let you know....
"Ah, I thought that would be it," said David; "ask your uncle." "Look here, David," cried Tom, flushing. "I shouldn't say I'd like to come if I didn't mean it. I'm not going to get into trouble by slipping out on the sly." "It's all over," said David. "I thought so. Master'd never let you sit up and watch, sir. I thought you wouldn't." "Well, we'll soon prove that," cried Tom. "Here is uncle."
"The children had nothing to do with it," said Phillis. "Master wanted some roots to give to Mr. Kent and he asked me for 'em. I dug 'em up and they're all the better for being thinned out." "I wish master'd mind his own business, and not be pryin and pilferin 'bout other people's gardens; givin my flowers to that yallow-headed Abolitioner. I'll speak my mind to him about it, any how."
It's not likely the master'd tell me where he was going to; not unless it was about seeds, or the likes of that." "He has gone very suddenly," said Bell. "Well, miss, I've nothing to say to that. And why shouldn't he go sudden if he likes? I only know he had his gig, and went to the station. If you was to bury me alive I couldn't tell you more."
"No, I don't, uncle," said Tom, speaking quite firmly now. "I told you everything." "Fetch David." Tom hurried out, and had no difficulty in finding the gardener, who had hardly stirred from where he had left him. "I knowed the master'd want me. Did you own up, sir, like a man?" "No, I didn't," said Tom angrily. "Come to uncle directly." "Then "
Wherefore such men as these, in their proceedings find great difficulty, and all their dangers are in the way, and these they must surmount by their vertue; but having once master'd them, and beginning to be honored by all, when they have rooted those out that envi'd their dignities, they remain powerful, secure, honorable, and happy.
