Some of the men, and Dick Tillard especially, were at first rather jealous of this. When I told him what the commander had said, he replied, "It's all right, Mr Rayner; and if you follow his advice, it will do you as much good as it will Harry; and we'll all be ready to serve him as much as before."
Rayner finally appeared, over the supposed affliction of the big Irishwoman at the prospect of parting with her patroness. Miss Travers saw with singular sensations that both the captain and her usually self-reliant sister were annoyed and embarrassed by the topic and strove to change it; but Foster's propensity for mimicry and his ability to imitate Mrs.
If you were to recommend him to be either a gunner or a boatswain, he'd pass fast enough." Rayner shook his head. "I should be happy to serve Tom Fletcher for old acquaintance' sake, but I fear that although he may have the learning, as you say, he has not got the moral qualities necessary to make a good warrant officer. However, send him to me, and I'll have a talk with him on the subject."
Wilson followed, and the others appeared drawn irresistibly. "Hey thar kid!" called Anson, hoarsely. The girl drew her slight form up haughtily. Through her spreading tresses her eyes gleamed unnaturally upon the outlaw leader. But she deigned not to reply. "Hey thar you Rayner girl!" added Anson, lamely. "What's ailin' you?" "My lord! did you address me?" she asked, loftily.
On his arrival there, much to his disappointment, Captain Martin found that the Thisbe was not yet ready for sea. Rayner was considering how to dispose of himself during the intermediate time. He did not expect that Mrs Crofton would offer him a room, but he wished, at all events, to pay her and Mary a visit, as they had always shown so friendly a feeling towards him.
'Oh, I am so glad! I exclaimed. 'I was hoping she would; and is she going to give Jim a reading-lesson in the week, do you know? 'That I can't tell you. After luncheon, Miss Rayner went down to the village on some errand, and then Kenneth inquired, 'Is she treating you well? 'Of course, I replied; 'she is most kind, and I am enjoying myself very much.
And the girl looked very young and sweet with her flushed face and shining eyes. Helen saw in the moment more than that little by-play of confusion. "Miss Miss Rayner I shore am obliged," he stammered, presently. "You're very welcome," she replied, softly. "I I got on the next train," he added. When he said that Bo was looking straight at him, but she seemed not to have heard.
The man did not move. "Foolish child!" he said, indulgently. "Suppose it went off!" She uttered an exclamation of surprise. "You! What are you doing here, Mr. Rayner?" She moved into the room, and her relief changed swiftly into indignation. On the table were half a chicken, a loaf, some cold potatoes, and a bottle of beer.
After they had become more tranquil they sat down and talked away at such a rate that even Rayner could scarcely understand what they were saying. He meantime had a pleasant conversation with Mary and her mother, for he had plenty to tell them, and they evidently liked to listen to him.
The ladies went on working and talking as if nothing were happening, though their countenances betrayed their anxiety. The gendarmes had been absent a sufficient time to make a thorough search through the whole of the building when Rayner heard them coming back. Suddenly the sergeant stopped, and asked, in a loud voice, "What is the object of this ladder, my friend?"
