"Poor fellow, I know that he must have lost his life if he tried to do so," said the Captain, but he inquired among his crew whether they had recognised an English face among the rover's crew.
From what was said it was easy to guess that the plotters expected to make quite a large sum of money out of their evil doings. "But you have got to get Rover's signatures to those papers," said Jesse Pelter. "We'll do it!" cried Josiah Crabtree. "Even if we have to starve him into it." "I hope those boys didn't come after the schooner," muttered Japson.
Through it you must have your own paths. Take any you choose. But I do not risk my ship again into what lies in wait before the gates of the Foanna." "Where do you go then, Captain?" "To Kyn Add. You have your own choice, stranger the sea or our fairing." There would be no way of changing the Rover's decision, Ross thought.
Reaching the pair, he at once gripped Bob's collar in his powerful teeth and proceeded to tow him to land, Dick hanging on behind; and Rover's muzzle was already turned shorewards, dragging his double burthen astern ere the Captain's cry of encouragement came to his ears, although on hearing it the noble animal redoubled his efforts. It was, however, a terrible ordeal; nay, almost a hopeless one!
During the dinner at the Hill, where Adelaide was one of the family party, Edgar mentioned casually how that he had met Miss Dundas on the moor, and had had to speak to her because of Rover's misbehavior. "Yes? and what do you think of her?" asked Mrs. Harrowby with a sharp glance. "I scarcely know: I have hardly seen her as yet," he answered.
It had not been that rover's design either to take or to hold the place; and after the descent had been made, the ships victualled, the churches plundered, the booty secured, and a few monks murdered, he had given orders for the burning of the town, and for the departure of the fleet.
"Dat's jess like Massa Tom!" he cried. "I suspicioned he'd be up to somet'ing afo' de day was up. Yo' can't keep him down no mo' dan yo' kin keep a jack rabbit from hoppin', no, sah!" "It certainly looked like the real thing," was Mr. Rover's comment. "Had it been " "I'd never have brought it in here," finished Tom. "I'm sorry if I frightened anybody," he added, looking at Mrs. Stanhope and Mrs.
"Yes," the old man replied, "just such a storm as shook the house thirty-one years ago to-night, and above it all I hear Rover's howl and the awful word you shouted aloud and which the winds caught up and carried everywhere so that the world is full of it. Do you remember it, Hannah!" Did she remember it.
"And I thought Anderson Rover's boys were all school kids! This lad has grown up fast. I wonder what he'll do next? I guess I had better keep my eye on him." When Dick reached the street he saw nothing of Sam. He looked up and down, and then walked slowly in the direction of Broadway. On the corner he came to a halt. "He must be somewhere around," he mused.
So I will just pass over Rover's wonderful exploits for he had some, let me whisper it in your ear and tell my stories about other people's dogs. "Going to the dogs," is a favorite expression with a great many people. They understand by it a condition in the last degree deplorable. To "go to the dogs," is spoken of as being just about the worst thing that can happen to a poor fellow.
