Over this map he and the second-mate pondered with a sort of muzzy sagacity, when they came to the conclusion that a clear sea must prevail around them, in all directions, for a distance exceeding a thousand miles. A great deal is determined in any case of a dilemma, when it is decided that this or that fact must be so.
I turned round, shook hands with old Muzzy, and before he knew what I had in mind, plunged over the side into the water. I heard a cry go up from the crew, who at first thought it was an accident, my zeal in helping to work the ship having put it out of their minds that I was merely a prisoner.
He delayed lunch for him. Christophe did not return. Hours passed, and Olivier grew more and more anxious and thought: "What a lot of foolish things they will make him say!" About three o'clock Christophe came home quite lively. He had had lunch with Arsene Gamache, and his head was a little muzzy with the champagne he had drunk.
I asked, with a touch of my old resentment against Rupert. "Why didn't you refuse to take him on board?" Old Muzzy gave me a reproachful look and shook his head gravely. "No, no, boy, we couldn't go for to do that. That would ha' been flat mutiny; and remember his name was on the ship's books as first officer, and he might have pistolled us every one and had the law on his side.
In these first lean days, a week of them, Ann 'Lisbeth's face lengthened a bit, too, and with the fuzz of yellow bangs tucked well up under her not so decent black hat, crinkles came out about her eyes. Nights she supped in a family-entrance café beneath her room veal stew and a glass of beer. She would sit over it, not unpleasantly muzzy. She slept of nights now, and not so rigidly.
He ceased his oaths and his coarse language; seldom flew into a passion; and last, not least, the butler avouched that master hardly ever went to bed "muzzy" now. Toward all his domestics, and especially his son's nurse, he behaved himself more like a master and less like a tyrant; so that the establishment at Russell Square went on in a way more peaceful than had ever been known before.
But my head, which was muzzy when you were here, has been muzzier ever since, and my Dr. made me relinquish everything and run out of town, so that I have been gadding for a month, and the August Putnam hasn't a line of mine. You see I have been positively idle; but I hope I am somewhat better. At least I feel so, although I shall not work much for some time to come.
I pass over the dreary time spent by me in that dismal confinement during our voyage. Old Muzzy visited me pretty often, and once Rupert himself came down and made offers towards a reconcilement. "Say that you will join us honestly, and I will take off the irons, and rate you as one of the crew.
Not, however, mounting to the room in which a few of the more indefatigable were continuing their labours, receiving reports from scouts, giving orders, laying wagers, and very muzzy with British principles and spirits, Harley called aside the landlord, and inquired if the stranger, for whom rooms had been prepared, was yet arrived.
