Anne said little to all these things, and preserved a superstratum of calmness on her countenance; but some inner voice seemed to whisper to her that Bob was no more. Miller Loveday drove to Pos'ham several times to learn if the Captain's sisters had received any more definite tidings than these flying reports; but that family had heard nothing which could in any way relieve the miller's anxiety.
Bob was so interested in what he had just heard that he scarcely noticed the arrival of the King, and a body of attendant gentlemen. He went on thinking of his new knowledge; Captain Hardy was come. He was doubtless staying with his family at their small manor-house at Pos'ham, a few miles from Overcombe, where he usually spent the intervals between his different cruises.
I have been to his house at Pos'ham, where he's staying with his sisters; walked there and back, and I wouldn't have missed it for fifty guineas. I hardly thought he would see me; but he did see me. And he hasn't forgot you. Bob then opened his tale in order, relating graphically the conversation to which he had been a party, and they listened with breathless attention.
They breathed rather than spoke their thankfulness and relief, the miller's eyes being moist as he turned aside to calm himself; while Anne, having first jumped up wildly from her seat, sank back again under the almost insupportable joy that trembled through her limbs to her utmost finger. 'I've come from Spithead to Pos'ham, the sailor continued, 'and now I am going on to father at Budmouth.
'You look tired, John, said his father. 'O no. He went through the house till he had found Anne Garland. 'I have only done one of those things, he said to her. 'What, already! I didn't hope for or mean to-day. 'Captain Hardy is gone from Pos'ham. He left some days ago. We shall soon hear that the fleet has sailed. 'You have been all the way to Pos'ham on purpose? How good of you!
