Susan trembled; and the colour flew from her cheeks, as she sat down on the chair which McElvina handed to her. "Your father, Susan, took me by the hand at the time that I was in great distress, in consequence of my having pleased him by an act of common honesty. You know how kind and considerate a patron he has been to me since, and I have now been in his employ some years.
The vicar listened to the narration with the interest which it deserved, and acknowledged his conviction of the clearness of the evidence, by observing "This will be a heavy blow to our dear Emily." "Not a very heavy one, I imagine," replied McElvina, who immediately relieved the mind of the worthy man by communicating the attachment between them, and the honourable behaviour of Seymour.
Having obtained their unanimous consent, McElvina, with a pleased countenance, came aft, followed by his men, and informed Captain M that they had agreed to enter for his ship. "Allow me to congratulate you, sir, on your good fortune, as you will yourself acknowledge it to be, when you find out what an addition they will be to your ship's company."
I do not think your wound is dangerous." "I am better now, McElvina much better; but I must see Emily." McElvina thought it advisable to accede to his wish, and returned to his wife, who was supporting the fainting girl.
"Now, Willy, what do you think of La Belle Susanne?" said McElvina, as they stood on the pier, about a stone's throw from the vessel, which lay with her broadside towards them. Not that McElvina had any opinion of Willy's judgment, but, from the affectionate feeling which every sailor imbibes for his own ship, he expected gratification even in the admiration of a child.
Debriseau, who had recognised his quondam friend McElvina, and perceived by his appearance, and the respect that was shown to him, that he had been more fortunate in his career, since they had parted, than he had himself, from a proud feeling of the moment, did not make himself known.
Oh! take me to her." "This way, ma'am, then," said the farmer, leading her round the hedge to the cottage of McElvina, by a more circuitous way. Susan had just called up McElvina, and Seymour was again left to himself in the parlour, when Mrs Rainscourt, bursting from those who conducted her, tottered in, and sank exhausted on the sofa.
The crew of the lugger were detained as prisoners on board of the frigate, and the vessel in charge of one of the officers was ordered to keep company, Captain M having determined to return into port, and not wishing to lose sight of his valuable prize. "You have a very fine ship's company, Captain McElvina," observed Captain M . "How many of them are English?"
Mrs McElvina, with the usual penetration of her sex, discovered what was passing in the mind of Seymour, and communicated her suspicions to her husband. As for some days the health of our hero rather declined than improved, McElvina determined to entrust him with the secret of his birth, which, by removing all difficulties, he imagined would produce a beneficial effect.
Neither the vicar nor McElvina were ignorant of his feelings; and the former, who recollected that those whom God has joined no man should put asunder, had made up his mind to bring the affair, if possible, to a happy issue; and Rainscourt, who perceived the influence which the vicar possessed over his wife, determined to request that he would act as a mediator.
