"As soon as I was well away from the land, I stood north about so as so clear Cape Queen Charlotte, the westerly point of New Hanover, and ran on for three or four hours, the vessel steering herself while I sewed up poor Merriman's and the boatswain's bodies as well as I could under the circumstances.
"Well, I do expect it, and I don't mean to discuss the point now. Agnes comes with me, does she not, to Mrs. Merriman's school?" "She does. Rosamund's mother is paying for her during this term." "And Miss Frost goes, too?" "Yes, dear, certainly." "Well, now, there is Hughie. Miss Frost says that she cannot give him the education sufficient to make a gentleman of him.
"Don't think me impertinent, old man," he went on with a sidelong glance, "but I imagined from your manner you were holding something back. Is there more in the story than you told?" It was now Merriman's turn to hesitate.
Desmond, besides sharing in their anger, had a further cause for concern in the almost certain loss of Mr. Merriman's goods. But the fort would not be given up till next day, and before he retired to rest he received a message that turned his thoughts into another channel and made him set his wits to work.
"It will save my time. As Mr. Merriman's representative I will take over the goods with the dastaks." "If you will excuse me, I will fetch them." "Stay!" said Desmond, as the man moved toward the door. He had not lowered the pistol. "Where are they?" "They are in my office beside the godown." "Very well. It would be a pity to trouble you to bring them here. I will go with you.
I have as much as I can do to get my couple ready to make a respectable appearance at supper." Laura ran off to inform her school-fellows that the noted, the terrible Irene was in very truth a pupil at Mrs. Merriman's school. The girls, of course, had heard that Irene was coming, and that Rosamund had been forgiven, and, notwithstanding her disobedience, was returning to the school.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked, in a tremulous voice, hardly louder than a whisper. Merriman's heart leaped. "To consider your daughter, Mr. Coburn," he answered promptly. "All I want is to marry Madeleine, and for her sake I want you to get out of this thing before the crash comes." Mr. Coburn once more wiped the drops of sweat from his forehead. "Good lord!" he cried hoarsely.
Merriman's. She was asked to go early, to dinner, and Mr. Merriman or Mr. Arobin would take her home. Edna accepted in a half-hearted way. She sometimes felt very tired of Mrs. Highcamp and Mrs. Merriman.
Miss Frost approached the pair to take little Agnes off Lucy's hands, for it did not occur to her as possible that a girl of Lucy Merriman's type could be really interested in her little sister. When she saw the white face and trembling lips, and the anxious eyes, she stopped suddenly, her own heart beating violently. "What is it, Aggie?
Merriman's first glance at her was one of disappointment. He had pictured a graceful craft of well-polished wood, with white deck planks, shining brasswork and cushioned seats. Instead he saw a square-built, clumsy-looking boat, painted, where the paint was not worn off, a sickly greenish white, and giving a general impression of dirt and want of attention.
