"But this Captain McBean called out in his rude fashion, 'Eh, sir, he may e'en be the booby he pretends. The better decoy, I allow. But by your leave, we'll look into it more narrowly. Would Your Majesty please to permit me have up the other rogues? And the plan was to bring the Prince out to Pontoise and so drag out affairs that he passed the night there.
"D'ye know where he is, Captain McBean?" "I wish I did." "So do I. It was Mr. Waverton who told the tale. Now you know why I am eager to hear what you can say of my father or my father of you." "Are you a good son, Mr. Boyce?" "I pay my debts." "There's a crooked answer. Are you in the Colonel's secrets?" "I have no reason to think so." "I guess he did not trust you. I guess he was right.
They don't know him there as we do, and King James, God save him! is young and honourable and sanguine." "Poor lad," says Harry with a shrug. "You may keep your pity, Mr. Boyce," McBean said stiffly. "I would have him so, by your leave. Now we heard that letters went to St. Germain from Colonel Boyce full of windy promises verbosa et grandis epistola.
"'Why, you have let His Majesty walk into a stinking trap. That fellow Boyce, he hath been Marlborough's spy, Sunderland's spy, the devil's spy this twenty year. "'Why, I thought he had something the smack of it, says my lord. 'And yet "'Who's this now? Captain McBean turned on me. 'Yours or his? "'His ambassador in fact, My lord looked me over and took snuff.
Observe, madame: I have said he is not yet dead. Whether he lives rests, I believe to God, upon what you may be to him." "Then he will be well enough," she sobbed as she laughed. "Oh! I believe in your power," says McBean with a twist of a smile. She stayed a moment by the door and flung her arms wide. "What I am it is all for him." Captain McBean left alone, took snuff.
McBean, affably inclining. "Look, Camilla dear Sir William and Lady Frazer in laylock sarsnet how well that diamond bandeau becomes her! They are early to-night. As I was saying, Mr. "Ducie." "To be sure. As I was saying, any friend of Mr. Robbie one of my oldest acquaintance. If you can manage now to break him of his bachelor habits? You are making a long stay in Edinburgh?"
Colonel Boyce, who now completely commanded himself, had grown very pale. "You have gone too far, Captain McBean. I desired to forget that I have you in my power. You force me to use it. If you thrust yourself upon me I shall have you arrested as a traitor." McBean flushed. "Odso, then there is some villainy of yours in the affair!
Colonel Boyce must have a lively interest in the affairs of McBean and yet he professed that he had now nothing in hand. What if he knew of the secret of the Pretender's coming to London? What if he was still seeking a chance to accomplish his plot of murder? Well, Captain McBean expected no less of him. Captain McBean was in the right of it.
Sal, I would think little o' the Lord if He needed to create a new sea to drown one man in. Nanny, yon cuttie, that's no swearing; I defy you to find a single lonely oath in what I've said." "Never mind Effie McBean," I interposed. "What are the congregation saying about the minister's absence?" "We ken little except what Effie telled us," Nanny answered.
"I must know how Harry does and make sure that he has the best there is for him. Surgery and friends he will need both, sound and sure." "Be satisfied. I shall well provide him." Captain McBean shook his head. "Damn your infernal impudence." Colonel Boyce's temper gave way. "Od's life, sir, this is infamous. You put upon me that I would mishandle my own son as he lies wounded and near death!
