"He shipped from St. John's," said the reader, looking to see. "I know it. He belongs in Augusty. My nevvy." The reader made a pencilled correction on the margin of the list, and resumed. "Same schooner, Charlie Ritchie, Liverpool, Nova Scotia, 33, single. "Albert May, 267 Rogers Street, City, 27, single. "September 27th. Orvin Dollard, 30, married, drowned in dory off Eastern Point."
"Did you get yo' ground-hog, Nevvy?" inquired Mr. Yancy presently when they had temporarily exhausted the excitement of Hannibal's capture and recovery. "It weren't a ground-hog, Uncle Bob it were a skunk!" "Think of that!" murmured Mr. Yancy. But Mr. Yancy was only at the beginning of his trouble.
Amongst other things, there were going to be some sports at Rutton today week, and his nevvy was going to try and win the cup for what the Oldest Inhabitant vaguely described as 'a race'. He had won it last year. Yes, prarper good runner, his nevvy. Where was Rutton? the Babe wanted to know. About eight miles out of Stapleton, said Charteris, who was well up in local geography.
And touching her horse lightly with the whip she rode away at a gallop. "She sho'ly is a lady!" said Yancy, staring after her. "And we mustn't forget Memphis or Belle Plain, Nevvy." Crenshaw and the squire approached. "Bob," said the merchant, "Bladen's going to have the boy but he made a mistake in putting this business in the hands of a fool like Dave Blount. I reckon he knows that now."
The salt works are threatened, and there is some contraband trade to be checked. We came to take you with us." "To do what, nevvy?" gasped the farmer, bewildered by the suddenness of the matter. "To take all of you with us," repeated the youth, dismounting. "Think you that I could go, and leave you here unprotected? You will be safe there.
His usually terse speech was becoming diffuse and irrelevant, while vacant laughter issued from his lips. Yancy was apparently unaffected by the good cheer of which he had partaken, but Murrell's dark face was flushed. The Scratch Hiller's ability to carry his liquor exceeded anything he had anticipated. "You-all run along to bed, Nevvy," said Yancy, as Hannibal entered the room.
"This chap had it from his nevvy, who married the sister of a housemaid at Beckhampton." Dale whistled. Here was news, indeed. Beckhampton! the home of "good things." "Is that where it comes from?" "Yes. Something real hot over a mile." "Can't you think? Let's look again at the entries." "Wait a bit," cried Simmonds. "I've got it now.
"Get up, Doc!" she cried, shaking him vigorously. "Get up! Here's your nevvy; and Mr. Dare has found Tom! Just think of it he's found Tom! Wake up, Doc! Was ever there such a man! To keep on sleeping with such good news to hear!" But Doc Linyard did not sleep for any great length of time after his good wife began to shake him. A moment later he sprang up, rubbing his eyes.
"There was no sign of the women and children, but as the foe put off down the river with the prisoners, a friend crawled out of the bushes to tell me that the women had fled to the forest. It seemed best under the circumstances to go for aid for them, so we scattered to get it. Of course I am glad to be with you," he ended huskily, "but 'tis pity that it could not be either Charley or nevvy."
He turned toward his mother abruptly. "Mother," he said, "these girls must go home. New Jersey is no place for them." "You never spoke a truer word, nevvy," chimed in his uncle. "They must go home; the sooner they start, the better 'twill be. So long as the snow lasts, the riding will be easy. Now, if you are willing to risk another encounter with the robbers, we will start with them Tuesday."
