What is his lordship's name who is on board?" "He won't tell us," replied Mrs Lascelles; "but I think I know; it is Lord Blarney." "Lord Blaney you mean, I presume," said Miss Ossulton; "however the thing is carried too far. Cecilia, we will go on shore at Torquay, and wait till the yacht returns with Lord B . I don't like these jokes; they may do very well for widows, and people of no rank."
'That's exactly the same question that I asked Lord B. when he boarded us, replied Pickersgill, taking off his hat to the ladies. 'Well, but what business have you here? 'Exactly the same question which I put to Lord B., replied Pickersgill. 'Where is Lord B., sir? said Cecilia Ossulton, going up to the smuggler; 'is he safe?
Mr and Mrs Davenant arrived the next day; and when the latter introduced her husband, she said to Miss Ossulton, "Look, Cecilia, dear, and tell me if you have ever seen Davenant before." Cecilia looked earnestly: "I have, indeed," cried she at last, extending her hand with warmth; "and happy am I to meet with him again."
In those dresses, gentlemen, you will not be able to do your duty: oblige me by shifting and putting on these." Corbett handed a flannel shirt, a rough jacket and trousers, to Messrs. Hautaine, Ossulton, Vaughan, and Seagrove. After some useless resistance they were stripped, and having put on the smugglers' attire, they were handed on board of the Happy-go-lucky.
"Because, madam, as Ponsonby never buys a horse without consulting me " "I cannot see the analogy, sir," observed Miss Ossulton, senior, bridling up.
"That's exactly the same question that I asked Lord B when he boarded us," replied Pickersgill, taking off his hat to the ladies. "Well, but what business have you here?" "Exactly the same question which I put to Lord B ," replied Pickersgill. "Where is Lord B , sir?" said Cecilia Ossulton, going up to the smuggler; "is he safe?"
It appears to me, Corbett, that the gentleman's clothes which lie there will fit you, and those of the good-looking fellow who was spokesman will, I am sure, suit me well. Now let us dress ourselves, and then for breakfast." Pickersgill then exchanged his clothes for those of Mr Hautaine, and Corbett fitted on those of Mr Ossulton.
"Then you are going on a very gallant expedition, indeed," observed Cecilia Ossulton; "I wish you joy." But Lord B was too much excited to pay attention. They shoved off, and pulled towards the smuggler. At this time the revenue boats were about five miles astern of the Happy-go-lucky, and the yacht about three-quarters of a mile from her in the offing.
'And, continued Pickersgill, 'having taken the command of this yacht instead of his lordship, it is absolutely necessary that I also take his lordship's name. While on board I am Lord B.; and allow me to introduce myself under that name; I cannot be addressed otherwise. Depend upon it, Miss Ossulton, that I shall have a most paternal solicitude to make you happy and comfortable.
After that, my lord, I shall be most happy to hear anything which your lordship may please to say." "Upon my word " commenced Mr Stewart. "Mr Stewart," interrupted Cecilia Ossulton, "I request your silence; nay, more, if ever we are again to sail in the same vessel together, I insist upon it." "Your lordship will oblige me by enforcing Miss Ossulton's request," said Mrs Lascelles.
