He knew a great deal about the young lady they had come to listen to, and he was not so shrinking but that he attempted to impart a portion of his knowledge even while she was singing. Before the second act was over Laura perceived Lady Ringrose in a box on the other side of the house, accompanied by a lady unknown to her.
But she would not dwell upon the hope, and Hilliard, not a little vexed, again became silent. Her next visit was after a lapse of three weeks. She had again been suffering from a slight illness, and her pallor alarmed Hilliard. Again she began with talk of Patty Ringrose. "Do you know, there's really a chance that we may see her before long!
Charles F. Aked, J. Stitt Wilson, Miss Gail Laughlin, Dr. Mary Sperry, Mrs. Sara Bard Field, Miss Maud Younger, Miss Charlotte Anita Whitney, Mrs. Alice Park, Mrs. Eleanor Stewart, Mrs. Mary Ringrose of California. The last named did valuable work among the Catholics. Miss Mary Bulkley and Mrs.
Belonging to a class which, especially in its women, has little intelligence to boast of, she yet redeemed herself from the charge of commonness by a certain vivacity of feature and an agreeable suggestion of good feeling in her would-be frank but nervous manner. Hilliard laughed merrily at the vision in her mind of "great, rough, sooty men." "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Miss Ringrose."
The cheer was answered by Sawkins' men, from the periagua, as they fired into the frigate's ports. Ringrose ran alongside the admiral, and crept "so close" under the vessel's stern, "that we wedged up the rudder." The admiral was shot, and killed, a moment later, as he brought aft a few musketeers to fire out of the stern ports. The ship's pilot, or sailing master, was killed by the same volley.
There was no taking the fort by storm, and the pirates had no great guns with which to batter it. They found, however, that one of the flat-roofed houses in the town, near the fort's outworks, commanded the interior. "We got upon the top of the house," says Ringrose, "and from there fired down into the fort, killing many of their men and wounding them at our ease and pleasure."
Laura knew this and it was why she was inexpressibly vexed with her sister. It was new work for our young lady to judge of these shades the gradations, the probabilities of license, and of the side of the line on which, or rather how far on the wrong side, Lady Ringrose was situated.
Are you coming or not, Patty?" "Oh, of course I shall go if you do." The young man shook hands with them; rather formally with Eve, with Patty Ringrose as cordially as if they were old friends. And then he lost sight of them amid the throng. How did Eve Madeley contrive to lead this life of leisure and amusement?
The music ceased, whereupon Eve's companion again consulted his watch. "It's a most unfortunate thing." He was audible now. "I can't possibly stay longer." Eve moved on her chair, as if in readiness to take leave of him, but she did not speak. "You think it likely you will meet Miss Ringrose?" Eve answered, but the listener could not catch her words. "I'm so very sorry. If there had been any "
Yes; I'm quite willing that you should think it so. It puts me at my ease. I have nothing to reproach myself with. Ah, but how good it is to sit here and talk!" "Don't you know anyone else who would come with you? Haven't you made any friends?" "Not one. You and Miss Ringrose are the only persons I know in London." "I can't understand why you live in that way."
