Seated in the stern, the others had hidden me from the fisherman. Now I stood up and he saw me. I laid one hand on his, and pointed to the tin badge on his suspender. "He is the village constable himself," I explained. I turned to the lovely lady. "Lady Moya," I said, "I want to introduce you to my father!" I pointed to the vine-covered cottage. "That's my home," I said.
Why don't they help us stop one of those tugs?" Lord Ivy exploded suddenly. "Rot!" he exclaimed. "If they're afraid of you, why did they ask you to go with them?" "They didn't!" cried Aldrich, truthfully and triumphantly. "They kidnapped you and Moya because they thought they could square themselves with you. But they didn't want me!"
"Nobody is cross with anybody, so far as I know," said Moya briskly. A certain sort of sentimentality always made her feel like whistling or singing or asserting the commonplace side of life in some way. Mrs. Bogardus received many letters, chiefly on business, and these she answered with manlike brevity, in a strong, provincial hand.
This time it was the Marchioness of Moya, the queen's dearest companion; and when, soon after, this lady was wounded by a Moorish assassin who mistook her for the queen, we may be sure that Isabella's affection deepened; and that, in gratitude, she listened readily when the kind-hearted marchioness praised the Genoese navigator.
"A glass of water, Moya, please." "How is she? What is it? Can we do anything?" The company crowded around Mrs. Creve on her return to the drawing-room. She glanced at her brother. There was no clue there. He stood looking embarrassed and mystified. "It is only the warm welcome we give our friends," she said aloud, smiling calmly. "Mrs. Bogardus found the room too hot.
Christine shouted, laughing at her own wit. "Hush, hush!" her mother smiled. "Don't make so much noise." "I should like to know who's to be the drudge in Paul's privileged family. It doesn't strike me it's going to be Moya. And Paul only drudges for people he doesn't know." "Moya is a girl you can expect anything of. She is a wonderful mixture of opposites.
The feminine friends of Columbus who remembered him at Court also spoke up for him, among them the Marquesa de Moya, with whom he had always been a favourite; and it was decided that his request should be granted and three vessels equipped for the expedition, "that he might go and make discoveries and prove true the words he had spoken."
"How the devil!" he began, "was I to know that a little red-headed shrimp like that was the Earl of Ivy? And that that tall blonde girl," he added indignantly, "that I thought was an accomplice, is Lady Moya, his sister?" "What happened?" I asked. Kinney was wearing his hat. He took it off and hurled it to the floor. "It was that damned hat!" he cried.
Well, I look at them, when they are as pretty as that one, and I forgive them if they look at me." Moya turned and hovered over the contents of the mail-bag. In the exercise of one of her prerogatives, it was her habit to sort its contents before delivering it at the official door. "All, all for you!" she offered a huge packet of letters, smiling, to Mrs. Bogardus.
Christine's high laugh followed the lieutenant's speech, as the pair went on. "He is a bore!" Moya declared. "We can't even use him for a joke." "Speaking of Lane, dear?" "The Poor Man. Are you sure that you've got a sense of humor, Paul? Can't we have charity for jokes among the other poor things?" Paul had raised himself to the step beside her.
