The pay's not amiss, but there's a great deal to do, and Lady Mount Severn's too much of a Tartar for me." Joyce looked at her in surprise. "What have you to do with Lady Mount Severn?" "Well, that's good! It's where I am at service." "At Lady Mount Severn's?" "Why not? I have been there two years. It is not a great deal longer I shall stop, though; she had too much vinegar in her for me.
It ran thus: "LUKE LARKIN: I have appointed the bearer, Timothy Flanagan, janitor in your place. You will give him the key of the schoolhouse, and he will at once assume your duties. "Well, Tim," said Luke, calmly, "it appears that you are going to take my place." "Yes, Luke, but I don't care much about it. My mother went to the squire and got me the job. The pay's a dollar a week, isn't it?"
Don't you be afeared, sir, we'll get 'em all right," he said, observing how anxious and excited Walter seemed to be. "Come, then," said Walter, "quick, quick! I promised to come back to them at once. You shall be well paid for your trouble." "Tut, tut," said the man, "the pay's naught. Why, I'd come if it were only a dumb sheep in danger, let alone a brace of lads like you."
It is not a very desirable one in some respects, but the pay's pretty good, and it would bring the man who took it under the notice of people who arrange the better Government appointments. I should have to stay out at least two years." Sylvia was startled, and annoyed. Now that the man owned her sway, she did not mean to accede to his wishes too readily.
"I'll dock you seven and a half for that. Three times thirty's ninety. Take seven and a half from that leaves eighty-two fifty." "Hold on!" objected Dave. "My pay's thirty-five a month." "First I knew of it," said the foreman, eyes bleak and harsh. "Thirty's what you're gettin'." "I came in as top hand at thirty-five." "You did not," denied Doble flatly. The young man flushed.
They tell me the pay's small, and the place is desolate to them for the want of Protestants, there being none, you may say, but the coastguards. After the third of them left it was long enough before they got the fourth. I hear they went scouring and scraping round the four coasts of the country with a trawl-net trying to get a man. And now they've got him he's all for going away.
He pointed towards the wreckage of the after-cabin, called something inaudible, and, turning, was lost to view aft. "That's the 'Pay's' cabin," said the Doctor between his teeth. "He was a good friend to that little lad. I suppose the boy's gone to look for him, and the 'Pay' as dead as a haddock, likely as not."
"You're just the chap I've been looking for," said Trotter, when he learned that Will desired regular work. "I'm division station agent here, but stage-driving is dangerous work, as the route is infested with Indians and outlaws. Several drivers have been held up and killed lately, so it's not a very enticing job, but the pay's good, and you know the country.
But your pay's less than mine, and you'll have to economize for the next few months." "That won't matter," Dick answered quietly. "I owe Fuller something, and I like the lad." He went back to his shack and said to Jake, "We'll be able to clear off the debt, but you must ask no questions and agree to any arrangement I think it best to make."
Each discovered that the others knew nothing; and each blundered against the astounding fact of double wages. "All I know is the pay's good; and that's enough," concluded Thrackles, from a bunk. "The pay's too good," growled Handy Solomon. "This ain't no job to go look at the 'clipse of the moon, or the devil's a preacher!" "W'at you maik heem, den?" queried Perdosa.
