"'Cause I made up my mind, this morning, that I'd be a sailor when I grow up, a mariner, you know, like Peterday, only I'd prefer to have both my legs." "You'd find it more convenient, perhaps." "You know all 'bout oceans, an' waves, and billows, don't you Uncle Porges?" "Well, I know a little." "An' are you ever sea-sick, like a 'landlubber?" "I used to be, but I got over it."
"Well, it might have been if it had happened anywhere but in Arcadia." "What do you mean by Arcadia, Uncle Porges?" "A place I've been looking for nearly all my life, nephew. I'll trouble you for the blackberry jam, my Porges." "Yes, try the blackberry, Aunt Priscilla made it her very own self." "You know it's perfectly ridiculous!" said Anthea, frowning and laughing, both at the same time.
I need only mention musicians like Richter, Cornelius, Porges, literati like Glasenapp and Wolzogen. Many, especially women, were ready to fling to the winds all thought of personal wellbeing, and life itself. Cosima, to save him and his art, sacrificed every worldly consideration. Ludwig of Bavaria did the same, and brought his country to the verge of revolution.
Cassilis, but Uncle Porges was telling us 'bout dragons, you know," Small Porges hastened to explain. "Dragons!" repeated Mr.
But Bellew had seen the stricken look in his eyes, therefore he took Small Porges in the circle of his big arm, and holding him thus, explained to him how that in this great world each of us must walk his appointed way, and that there must, and always will be, partings, but that also there must and always shall be, meetings: "And so, my Porges, if we have to say 'Good-bye' now, the sooner we shall meet again, some day somewhere."
"Yes, it's lots better than Georgy Porgy," nodded the boy. And so Small Porges he became, thenceforth. "But," said he, after a thoughtful pause, "I think, if you don't mind, I'd rather call you Uncle Porges. You see, Dick Bennet the black-smith's boy, has three uncles an' I've only got a single aunt, so, if you don't mind " "Uncle Porges it shall be, now and for ever, Amen!" murmured Bellew.
"Why, yes, my Porges, big, you know, and er yellow, like er like a very large sovereign." "Do you mean Oh! do you mean it's the " But here Small Porges choked suddenly, and could only look his question. "The Money Moon? Oh yes there she is at last, my Porges! Take a good look at her, I don't suppose we shall ever see another."
"Was it a very big ship that you came over in?" "No, not so very big, but she's about as fast as anything in her class, and a corking sea-boat." "What's her name?" "Her name?" repeated Bellew, "well, she was called the er 'Silvia." "That's an awful' pretty name for a ship." "Hum! so so, but I have learned a prettier, and next time she puts out to sea we'll change her name, eh, my Porges?"
"Now aren't you awful' glad I found you under that hedge, Uncle Porges?" "Nephew, I am!" "Nephew?" repeated Anthea, glancing at him with raised brows. "Oh yes!" nodded Bellew, "we adopted each other at about four o'clock, this afternoon." "Under a hedge, you know!" added Small Porges. "Wasn't it a very sudden, and altogether unheard of proceeding?" Anthea enquired.
"Why then," said Small Porges, wrinkling his brow, "why then you'd have to storm the castle, of course, an' break open the gate an' run off with the Princess on your charger, if she was very beautiful, you know." "A most excellent idea, my Porges! If I should happen to find myself in like circumstances, I'll surely take your advice." Now, as he spoke, Bellew glanced at Anthea, and she at him.
