And we thought that some fool of an Englishman was burning his fingers with those shares. I'm not the only one caught, but the others can stand it. I can't, worse luck!" "I'm beastly sorry," Aynesworth said truthfully. "I wish I could help you." Nesbitt raised his head. A sudden light flashed in his eyes; he spoke quickly, almost feverishly.
"Publish it in the Bulletin," returned Nesbitt decisively. "We're going to stir things up." They walked along together, Broderick's head bent in thought. Everywhere people were discussing the evening's tragedy. More than once "Judge Lynch's" name was mentioned threateningly. About the jail men swarmed, coming and going in an excited human tide.
They had reached the cross-road down which Effie was to take her solitary way; for the bairns had gone on before. She stood for a moment trying to make sure of her voice, and while she lingered Mrs Nesbitt dropped a kiss, as tender as a mother's, on her brow, and said, "Good-night!" A rush of ready tears was the only answer Effie had for her then. But she was comforted.
"He has had a curious life, and he is a man with very strange ideas." Nesbitt finished his drink, and rose up. "Well," he said, "he's not a man I should care to be associated with. Not but what I daresay he was right upstairs. He's strong, too, and he must have a nerve. But he's a brute for all that!" Nesbitt went his way, and Aynesworth returned upstairs. Wingrave was alone.
"Oh, he won't lose anything by that," rejoined Commander Nesbitt, who did not have a very high opinion of my old training-ship, as I have already pointed out; and, just then, seeing me standing by, he said, "Take this young gentleman down to the gunroom, Vernon, and make him comfortable. I suppose you are already acquainted, both of you coming from the same ship?"
"I don't know about that, imagination sometimes goes a great way in these matters," observed Commander Nesbitt, after carefully inspecting the battered hulk with the glass Mr Jellaby handed him; "but, at all events, we'll send a boat aboard and see. Bosun's mate, pipe the watch to stand by to heave the ship to! Clew up the courses. Square the main yard!"

Elizabeth Nesbitt, in A Critical History of Children's Literature Foreword Also I told in that book the adventures of certain worthy knights and likewise how the magician Merlin was betrayed to his undoing by a sorceress hight Vivien.
And those outside who point to the hypocrites inside for excuses would have to think up something new and original if we eliminated the hypocrites on their account, 'so be generous, Connie, wrote father, 'and don't begrudge Mr. Nesbitt the third seat to the left for he may never get any nearer Paradise than that. "Father is just splendid, Carol.
He gave a little laugh, and turned towards the door. "Guess you're right," he declared; "we'll let it go at that." Aynesworth followed him from the room. "I'm awfully glad you're out of the scrape," he said. Nesbitt caught him by the arm. "Come right along," he said. "I haven't had a drink in the daytime for a year, but we're going to have a big one now. I say, do you know how I got that money?"
Let slight things pass away themselves; in a case that requires assistance do nothing without advice. Mr. Crook is a very able man in his way. Should a physician be at any time wanting, apply to Dr. Nesbitt, and tell him at leaving Bath I recommended you all to his care.
