Castle Hautboy is situated near Pooly Bridge, just in the county of Westmoreland, on an eminence, giving it a grand prospect over Ulleswater, which is generally considered to be one of the Cumberland Lakes. Therefore the gentry from the two counties were invited as far round as Penrith, Shap, Bampton, and Patterdale.
Attached to it was a yard of stove-pipe chain, by which it was hung around the neck of the winner of the last prize. A shout of laughter and a round of applause greeted the presentation of the medal. Laud did not know whether to smile or get mad; for he felt like the victim of a practical joke. Miss Nellie Patterdale stood near him, and perhaps her presence restrained an outburst of anger. Mr.
The boat-builder protested that he knew nothing about these papers, and had never seen them before in his life. Mrs. Ramsay and Barbara wept as though their hearts would break; but Donald was led away by the sheriff. That night Captain Shivernock returned by the train from Portland. Mr. Beardsley, the deputy sheriff, conducted Donald to the elegant mansion of Captain Patterdale.
"You believe that Ned Patterdale didn't get all her speed out of the Sea Foam," added the commodore. "I don't mean to say a word to disparage Ned; but he don't know the Sea Foam as you do the Skylark." "There is hardly a particle of difference between the boats." "I know it; but you have had so much more experience than Ned, that he ought not to be expected to compete with you.
And officially, at any rate, the crash was entirely for the benefit of him and his kind . . . . wherein lay the humour. Vane laughed shortly as he pushed back his chair. "Does anything matter save one's own comfort? Personally I think slavery would be an admirable innovation." Sir John Patterdale was everything that his wife was not.
Edward Patterdale was fully satisfied, now, that a skilful boatman was as necessary as a fast boat, in order to win the honors of the club, and he wished Donald to "coach" him, until he obtained the skill to compete with the commodore. Donald had promised to do it, as soon as he had time, and the owner of the Sea Foam hoped the opportunity would be afforded during the long cruise.
Sykes had told him all the news she could in this time, and among other things informed him that Captain Patterdale and the deputy sheriff had called to inquire whether Laud had the use of the boat for taking care of her. By this he knew that the tin trunk matter was under investigation.
"On the contrary, I didn't think anything at all about it," replied Captain Patterdale. "I was not even aware that your interest was due to-day." "I came pretty near not paying it, for work has been rather slack this season; but the firm of Ramsay & Son helped me out by paying me promptly for the sails I made for the Maud." "Ramsay & Son is a great concern," laughed the nabob.
"Did you see him fall, Nellie?" asked her father. "Yes; he gave a kind of groan, and then fell; he was " "Gracious!" exclaimed Captain Patterdale, interrupting her all of a sudden. He turned on his heel, and walked rapidly into the library.
They did not know whether or not Captain Shivernock had given Laud the use of the Juno, but presumed he had, for the young man was in the house with him half the night, about ten days before. Thus far everything looked well for Laud; and the Sykeses partially confirmed his statements. "Now, Captain Patterdale, I have answered all your questions, and I wish you would answer mine.
