"Higher still, Sep, higher, higher," the doctor kept on saying; and we tilted it more and more; but still nothing came till, just as we were about to turn it upside down, there was a flash of something bright and silvery, and a tiny drop of fluid metal ran out on to the mould, and down the side. "That's it. Up with it, Sep. A little more this side. Now then."
"But you had better go and lie down for an hour or two." "Oh, no, father," I said. "I'm not tired. Let me go with you." He nodded, and then stood thoughtful, and tapping the ground with his foot. All at once he seemed to have made up his mind. "Look here, Sep," he said; "you are growing a great fellow now. I've been helping you all these years; now you must help me."
Many went back to their homes, knowing that nothing could be known for some hours. Others crouched on the landward side of an old coal-shed, peeping round the corner. Miriam and Sep, and a few others, waited on the quay until River Andrew or another should return. It was an understood thing that the helpers, such as could man a boat or carry a drowned man, should go first.
"Yes, there are," I said from where I had climbed over the deepest part by clinging to the hurdles, "I can see them." "Oh no, you can't, my lad. You'd like me to come splashing through the water there for you to laugh at me, but it won't do. There isn't a single fish in the place, only old Bigley old Babby as his father calls him. I say, Sep, what a game! Did you ever see such a babby?"
"He is sure to be in in a few minutes," she said; for she had heard the end of their talk. She could scarcely have helped hearing Loo's weighty suggestion of a lantern, which had had the effect he must have anticipated. Sep was already hurriedly searching for matches. It would be difficult to dissuade him from his purpose.
"Why, you are always making rows without," I said testily. "My father has not been fishing, I'm sure." "There he goes again," cried Bob in an ill-used tone. "That's Sep Duncan all over. I say, Big, he was trying to pick a quarrel with me up on the cliff when you came, and I wouldn't. Now he's at it again." "Well, I sha'n't stop to quarrel now," I replied. "Come on down and meet father."
"But those are not the things that one forgets, are they, Miss Liston?" "Then I wish Sep could know somebody who would make him remember," answered Miriam, half closing the book in her hand; for she was very quick and had seen Colville's affable glance take it in in passing, as it took in everything within sight. "A King, for instance," he said, slowly. "A King of France.
"Sep! Here! Quick!" my father shouted, without turning his head, for the enemy kept him occupied parrying their cuts and points. "I am here, father," I said, getting close behind him. "Right. Stand firm, my lads!" said my father. "We're beaten, but we must retreat in order. Ah, would you?"
" Sep. 20. 2 Mém. de Sully. Well, you're an industrious mouse, I'll say that for you. What's this? 'Don Quixote! 'Life of Howard. 'Nov. 17. 3 Fairy Queen. 'Nov. 29. 4 Fairy Queen. 'Dec. 8. 1 Goldsmith's England. Well, if this list of books is a fair exhibit of your taste and capacity, you have a most happily proportioned set of intellectuals.
"Dey aint NO tin in him, Massa Will, I keep a-tellin' on you," here interrupted Jupiter; "de bug is a goole-bug, solid, ebery bit of him, inside and all, sep him wing neber feel half so hebby a bug in my life." "Well, suppose it is, Jup," replied Legrand, somewhat more earnestly, it seemed to me, than the case demanded, "is that any reason for your letting the birds burn?
