Mr.
For bringing in this money, they allowed them only two days; but the Spaniards not having been able to gather so punctually such a sum, the pirates fired many parts of the town; whereupon the inhabitants begged them to help quench the fire, and the ransom should be readily paid.
'The bruised reed shall he not break; the smoking flax shall he not quench. Remember that, Neal." From far down the side of the hill the sound of a woman's voice reached them faintly. It drew nearer. "That's some slip of a lassie from off the farms below us," said Hope. "She's looking out for some cow that's strayed." "She's singing," said Neal. "I catch the fall of the tune now and then."
