Hart," said Captain Scarborough, repressing the loudness of his words as far as his rage would admit him, but still speaking so as to attract the attention of some of those round him, "I do not know what good you propose to yourself by following me in this manner. You have my bonds, which are not even payable till my father's death." "Ah, there you are very much mistaken."
You ought to turn in, say, at half-past nine and rise in time to get your hardest work out of the way before the college day begins." "That sounds reasonable," replied Scarborough, after a moment's consideration. "I'll try it."
The oily calm below the first rapid dropped into another maelstrom of angry waters. Into this the Scarborough was drawn by the terrible undertow. For a moment the watchers on the bank could see nothing but the horns of the bellowing, frightened oxen tied to the railing. Then the raft was mounting the waves again. The seaworthiness of a raft is, of course, well known.
"He's a tyrant!" shouted Zachariah Scarborough, bringing his huge fist down on the table and upsetting a mug. "He has set up for king. Down with all kings, say I! His head must come off!"
“What’s a water duel?” asked Irving. “They go out in canoes, two in each canoe,” answered Scarborough. “One fellow paddles, and the other stands up in the bow with a long pole and a big fat sponge tied to the end of it. Then the two canoes manœuvre, and try to get within striking distance, and the fellow or canoe that gets upset first loses.
"We have all been there." We paused a moment, while I puffed smoke at the photograph again. "Well," I said at last, "her face looks to me really simple and nice. It is a good face. Do you see her often?" "Oh, no; she's on tour." "In the provinces?" "M'yes; just at present, at Scarborough." "But she writes to you?" "Every day."
It was through the girls that Scarborough got his invitation to the alcove table. There he came to know Pierson and to like him. One evening he went into Pierson's rooms the suite under Olivia and Pauline's. He had never seen but had dreamed of such a luxurious bachelor interior.
Then he had to undertake that task, very difficult for a young man, of explaining to her all the circumstances of the case. But there was something in them so dreadful to the lady's imagination that he failed for a long time to make her comprehend it. "Do you mean to say that Mr. Scarborough was not married to his own wife?" "Not at first." "And that he knew it?" "No doubt he knew it.
They shall see us all stand out to sea to catch them in the open, as I said in the town-hall of Scarborough yesterday, on purpose. Everybody laughed; but I stuck to it, knowing how far the tale would go. They take it for a crotchet of mine, and will expect it, especially after they have seen us standing out; and their plans will be laid accordingly."
Then the door opened, and Mrs. Mountjoy entered the room. "Oh dear! oh dear!" she said, "you, both of you, here together?" "Yes: we are both here together," said Harry. There was an unfortunate smile on his face as he said so, which made Mountjoy Scarborough very angry. The two men were both handsome, two as handsome men as you shall see on a summer's day.
