It was black with people who cheered continually, and somewhere above the town a cannon was fired in salute, but all Bob saw was a slender figure in white at the pier-edge and all he heard was a woman's happy crying. A message to his mother telling of his safety had been sent from Charles Town three weeks before, and there she was to welcome him.
A blur of faces rose above deck-rails, faces that, looking back, receded finally. The last flag and the last kerchief became vapor. Against the pier-edge, frantically, even perilously forward, her small flag thrust desperately beyond the rail, Mrs. Ross, who had lost a saving sense of time and place, leaned after that ship receding in majesty, long after it had curved from view.
"Lester Lester, a cable every day!" "Bleema, will you please let the man catch his boat? It's an embarrassment to even watch you." "Lester Lester " "Yes, yes; good-by, everybody!" "I'll be out at the pier-edge wave back, darling!" "Yes, yes! Good-by, Miss Beautiful! By, all!" And then, from an upper deck, more and more shouted farewells. "They're moving! Come, Mr.
Feist please with me I've got the permit don't let papa see us come the pier-edge!" "Sure! This way, Miss Bleema here under quick!" Out in the open, May lay with Italian warmth over a harbor that kicked up the tiniest of frills. A gull cut through the blueness, winging it in festoons. "Over this way, Miss Bleema; we can see her steaming out." "Lester good-by Lester a cable every day!
And, you mark what I say: every time I catch you walkin' on that there pier-edge, or hear of you doin' of it, I'll give you a lickin'. "Tommy Brass has never walked on that pier-edge since," concluded Mrs Bright, "but I'm sorry to say that ever since that day Lilly Brass has refused to have a word to say to Billy, and when asked why, she says, `'cause he sowsed an' whacked my brudder Tommy!"
