Then sickness paralyzed the arm of Mr. Munroe, and he could no longer work. The money he had saved to pay the note when it should become due was expended in supporting his family.
Russ, Rose, and all the rest of the six little Bunkers got up early next morning. "Is It Fourth of July yet?" asked Munroe. "No, not yet, Mun Bun," answered Rose with a laugh. "But it soon will be in a few days." "I'm going to finish my cannon," said Russ. "Come on!" called Laddie to his twin sister Vi. "Let's go down and dig a hole in the sand pile." "What for?" she asked.
Frank Munroe, step forward!" I obeyed. The little man stared up into my eyes, and I will freely confess that never have I experienced quite the queer sensation it gave me. Danny Randall had become not only formidable, but great. He seemed to see through into the back of my mind. I braced myself as though to resist some strong physical force.
The master was known to be on the spree, so the mate, Munroe, thought he would have a day off, and took as a drinking chum, Ralph, the half-marrow; and, in order that they might not be disturbed, they travelled to a snapshop in the country, some miles away from the town.
"Every one of the Knights wrote home to have their folks send them some money at Paris, or every one but you and Munroe; and the game was played out with you and him, for you had some sent to you in London." "Yes; and Lowington got it," replied Wilton in disgust. "We fixed it all right.
Munroe, who did not possess much intelligence, knowledge or ambition, expressed his satisfaction that the drunken beggar was about to resume control, as he was sick of being both skipper and mate. As a matter of fact, responsibility did not sit lightly on this frivolous officer, and it may be that he knew the measure of his capacity.
William Munroe and his son Will took a few turns at the windlass, and the ox would be lifted off his feet. The sides of the stall were only eighteen inches high, and were of thick plank, with a groove in the top edge. They bent up the leg of the ox and rested his cloven hoof in the groove, and shod each part with a piece of iron.
They won't want him now." "But, Tony, you forget that our doings must be approved by our directors," said Frank. "I'll risk them." "It would be better to have everything right before we promise Mr. Munroe." "So it would. Is your father at home?" "I believe so." "George is, and it won't take five minutes to obtain his consent. Let go the fasts forward," said Tony, as he cast off the line astern.
And the detective was speedily put in excellent humor by news awaiting him at the Palais de Justice Monday morning that the man sent to London to trace the burned photograph and the five-pound notes had already met with success and had telegraphed that the notes in question had been issued to Addison Wilmott, whose bankers were Munroe and Co., Rue Scribe.
He talked with marked intelligence to his officer, and partook of the evening meal with him; and as he had reason to leave the table before Munroe had finished, he politely asked to be excused for doing so. This mark of consideration overshadowed his other faults and stamped him as a gentleman in the opinion of the mate.
