Old Salterne grumbled at any man save himself spending a penny on the voyage, and forced on the adventurers a good ship of two hundred tons burden, and five hundred pounds toward fitting her out; Mrs.
I dreamt of you only last night, and many a night before that too. Welcome, sir, into a lonely house. I trust the good knight your general is well." "The good knight my general is with God who made him, Mr. Salterne." "Dead, sir?" "Foundered at sea on our way home; and the Delight lost too." "Humph!" growled Salterne, after a minute's silence. "I had a venture in her. I suppose it's gone.
"Well, sir, when you start, come to me for a ship, and the best I have is at your service; and, if she do not suit, command her to be fitted as you like best; and I, William Salterne, will pay for all which you shall command to be done." "My good sir, I have accounts to square with you after a very different fashion.
Eustace darted from his side, and running across a field, met Rose full at the next turn of the road. She started, and gave a pretty little shriek. "Mr. Leigh! I thought you had gone forward." "I came back to speak to you, Rose Mistress Salterne, I mean." "To me?" "To you I must speak, tell you all, or die!" And he pressed up close to her. She shrank back, somewhat frightened.
"Ah, sir! two or three like you would set the young ladies all alive again. By-the-by, there's been strange doings among them since you were here last. You mind Mistress Salterne!" "For God's sake, don't let us have that story, man! I heard enough of it at Plymouth!" said Amyas, in so disturbed a tone that mine host looked up, and said to himself
Yes, Amyas has come, and with him Will Cary and the honest parson, Jack Brimblecombe, and the good seamen of Devon; and Ayacanora, who knelt down obedient before Mrs. Leigh because she had seen Amyas kneel, and whom Mrs. Leigh took by the hand and led to Bur-rough Court. William Salterne would take none of his share of the treasure which was brought home, and which he had a just claim to.
"Lucy Passmore!" almost shrieked all three friends. "She that went off with " "Yes! she that sold her own soul, and persuaded that dear saint to sell hers; she that did the devil's work, and has taken the devil's wages; after this fashion!" and she held up her scarred wrists wildly. "Where is Dona de Rose Salterne?" shouted Will and Jack. "Where is my brother Frank?" shouted Amyas.
Amyas called on Salterne, and the old burgher besought him to go in pursuit of the Spaniard, and promised he would spend any money that was needed to fit out a ship to avenge his child. And Amyas heard that honest John Brimblecombe, now a parson, mindful of his oath to the brotherhood, was longing to seek the Rose, though it might be in the jaws of death.
What a gentleman old Frank was, to be sure! No wonder the queen was so fond of him, and all the Court ladies! Why, if it came to that, what wonder if Rose Salterne should be fond of him too? Hey-day! "Come in to breakfast, lad; and stop grinding and creaking upon those miserable limpets, before thou hast set every tooth in my head on edge!"
And the giant swung himself laughing out of the room, and slept all night like a seal, not without dreams, of course, of Rose Salterne. The next morning, according to his wont, he went into his mother's room, whom he was sure to find up and at her prayers; for he liked to say his prayers, too, by her side, as he used to do when he was a little boy.
