She'll have to put up with him to-day. There isn't a better boatman on the place anyhow." To Landless he said, "Bring the Bluebird up to the wharf, and see that she is sweet and clean inside. Mistress Patricia starts for Rosemead in half an hour, and you and Regulus are to take her. You'll bring the boat back to-night. Step lively now!"
"I shall not go a-horseback. 'Tis too hot and dusty. I shall go in one of the sail-boats the Bluebird, I think." "Now, in the name of all that's contrary, what do you want to do that for, Mistress Patricia?" cried the harassed overseer. "It's twice as far by water." "I'll reach Rosemead before dark.
"What is it, massa?" he queried. "Wake mighty early at Rosemead.... Lawd hab mercy! we 's still on de Chesapeake!" "We will be in the Chesapeake in a moment," said Landless sternly, "if you stagger about in that way. Sit down and pull your wits together. You are like to need them all directly." He touched Darkeih and said, as her eyes, wide with alarm, opened upon him, "Listen, my wench!
For answer Landless raised his voice until it rang high above the uproar, and arrested the attention of the combatants on both sides. "Fight with a will, men," he cried, "for help is at hand! Do you not hear the hoofs of the horses?" "By God! you are right!" cried the Colonel, suddenly struggling to his feet. "Hold out, men! Anthony Nash reached Rosemead, and has brought us aid!"

"Did you not hear me say that I wished to proceed to Rosemead?" "Yes, madam, I did." "I order you, sir " "And I choose to disobey." "I shall report you to Colonel Verney." "As you please, madam."
It is about a a matter of state upon which his master and I have been engaged. No one here or at Verney Manor must know that he has been at Rosemead." "Very well, my father," said Betty, meekly, "the books can wait some other opportunity." "And," with some sternness, "you will be careful to hold your tongue as to this man's presence here to-night." "Very well, father."

"I am glad to have proved the strength of my brother," was the sententious reply. "Where goes my brother through the woods, which are full of danger to him to-night? Or has he a pass?" "I have business at Rosemead," answered Landless.
"We can reach Rosemead before that storm breaks, can we not?" Among other amiable qualities, Regulus numbered a happy willingness to please, even at the expense of truth. "Sho-ly, 'lil Missy," he said with emphasis. "And it will not be much of a squall, besides, will it, Regulus?" "No, 'lil Missy, not much ob squall," answered the obliging Regulus. "There is much wind in it," said Landless.
"The amusement seems to be on our side," said the Surveyor-General. The Governor cast a careless glance in the direction indicated by the other. "Pshaw! a fit of the sulks! They will get over it.
