The last word was uttered in such a tone, that Redford instantly turned, and, without even a word of reply, retraced his steps to the shore. Then he promptly embarked, and the men promptly shoved off while Rosco sat on the rocky eminence, quietly watching them. No words did Redford speak to his wondering men, except such as were needed to direct the boat.
He told himself there was something "fishy" in the affair something behind, that was purposely kept from him. But he was hungry, and the fragrant soup steamed under his nose and glittered in his spoon it was so admirably clear. Just now the doings of the Redford cook were of more concern to him than Mary's doings.
He pointed it out to a man staying in the house a stranger to the Redford family and to the district. "There was a mate named Carey on this ship a while ago. He changed into that unfortunate DOVEDALE that was wrecked, and was lost with her. Odd that the captain of his old vessel should have the same name same initial too. Our friend was Guthrie " "Guthrie Carey? Oh, I know Guthrie Carey.
It will be your wisdom, also, to bear in mind that discipline is as useful on board a Free Rover as on board a man-of-war, and that there is only one way to maintain it." The pirate captain pointed to a brace of pistols that lay on the table beside him, and said, "Go." Redford went, without uttering another word.
Directly they reached the courtyard she seated herself on a settee for two, and made room for him by her side. "Come and tell me about the golf match," she said. "Who won?" Mannering had no alternative but to obey. Lady Redford, however, drew her chair up close to theirs, and the conversation was always general. Berenice in a few minutes rose to her feet. "Listen to the sea," she exclaimed.
"If you would only let me sell Redford to somebody else, and have the lump money to pay all the debts in a plain way that I could understand, and take the remainder for ourselves, and know that we were straight and free, I would do anything you liked to ask me in return!" He still kept silence, and that tight grasp upon her hand. So she looked at him again; and his far-away stare was bewildering.
On one such night, the pirate's barque was tossed like a cork on the Pacific's heaving bosom, while the shrieking winds played, as it were, fiendishly with the fluttering shreds of sails which they had previously blown to ribbons. Richard Rosco stood beside the weather-bulwarks holding on to one of the mizzen back-stays. His mate Redford assisted the man at the wheel.
The goodbye seemed more like a farewell in Uncle Ike's case, for he had aged much in the last year and was really very feeble. Alice told him that Mr. Gay had promised to call upon him in a few days. When they reached Boston, Quincy said: "Maude, you must take the train at once for Redford and see what the trouble is. I will leave Alice at home and run down to see you this afternoon."
You have had no sleep. You must come and rest, my dear. Come and lie down. You can have Ruby with you, if you like while I go and settle things at Redford. No, I won't be long; I'll just see your father, and be back by tea-time. Have the drawing-room opened, Charlotte" it never was opened except for visitors "and we will sit there this evening.
"Well, Redford," he said, after a few seconds' pause, "my chief reason for going to Sugar-loaf Island is removed, nevertheless we shall still go there for a fresh load of sandal-wood and other things that will fetch a good price." "I fear, sir," returned the mate after some hesitation, "that the crew will be apt to mutiny, if you insist on going there.
