This action on the part of their leader had more effect in filling their hearts with pride than an outburst of eloquence. They understood something of what the captain felt, and how pleased he was at their decision. "But remember, lads," he reminded them, "our money'll go only a little way, and we mustn't git too excited jist yit." "How much will it take?" one of the boys asked.
"Well, there's Tallington's name to back it," said one of the men. "We all know Tallington. What he says, he does. The money'll be there if it's earned." Then they all looked at each other silently, surmise and speculation in the eyes of each. "Tell you what!" suddenly observed the little tradesman, as if struck with a clever idea. "It might be young Bent! Five hundred pound is naught to him.
If you ever attempt to address another word to me, or ride in the same elevated train, or even sit in the same theatre, I'll have you arrested as a suspicious person and locked up for life, if money'll do it! Hawkins, henceforth we meet as strangers!"
Pike astonished me with the longest observation I had yet heard him utter at table. "Everybody has to shake down when they leave the land. We've got to forget the good times on shore, and the good things money'll buy, and start watch and watch, four hours on deck and four below. And it comes hard, and all our tempers are strung until we can make the change.
Allen, though she was so kind she would not tell; "you could thank me by saying, 'Auntie, I've been a naughty boy." But Horace had no idea of making such a confession as that. "The money'll come up," said he; "I'm one of the lucky kind. Let's see; wouldn't it be best to advertise?" "Thieves won't answer advertisements," said Mrs. Allen. "But, I tell you, auntie, I dropped that wallet.
"That comes of lending, that does. It just shows the truth of the old saying, 'Stick to your money and your money'll stick to you. There never was a truer word." "Wonder if he's lost much?" said the underling speculatively. Whereupon Jim Dawlish waxed suddenly severe. He never tolerated idle gossip among his inferiors. "And that's no concern of yours, Charlie Bates," he said.
"Ye 'd better bargain quick, if ye want any," spoke up an oldster. "Looks like squar's son was a-coortin' squar's daughter, an' mayhaps her money'll make old Squar Hennion less put tew it fer cash." "So Squire Meredith is n't popular?" "He'll find out suthin' next time he offers fer Assembly," asserted one of the group. "He 's a member of Assembly, is he?" questioned Evatt.
"It is so important, child; more important, I fear, than many of them guess. This will be a desperate war, and without the money to fight " "Oh, the money'll come, Gran'pa; I'm sure of that. If Dorfield doesn't do it's duty, the rest of the country will, so you mustn't feel badly about our failure. In fact, we haven't failed, as yet. How much did they subscribe last night?"
"Money'll be all right," observed one of the speaker's companions. "There's Lawyer Tallington's name at the foot o' that bill. He wouldn't put his name to no offer o' that sort if he hadn't the brass in hand." "Whose money is it, then?" demanded the first speaker. "It's not a Government reward. They say that Kitely had no relatives, so it can't be them.
It'd be a sin if they were destroyed, as they are likely to be. I've another idee. My well there is 25 foot deep. Let's take the bucket out, and let Shorty shoot his gun straight down into the well. I believe the money'll come out all right. If it don't I'll make it up myself, rather than be a party to a gamble."
