Heideck gathered from their conversation that the smack belonged to a shipowner of Rotterdam, whose name they appeared not to know or could not pronounce. They were very guarded and reserved in their statements generally. Heideck waited half an hour, an hour but still no signs of the captain.
The gaol was only a few doors down a cross street, and Job had soon delivered his prisoner into capable hands. Then he returned to Curtis's house. The shipowner was pacing up and down his library, where the paper lay half-crumpled on the floor. He looked up as Job entered and his brow was wrinkled deep with lines of worry. "Gad!" he exclaimed, "this is awful!
As regards the expenses you've incurred, I'll go halves." For comment, the shipowner flicked thumb and forefinger together. "No, I'll do more," pursued Matheson. "I'll make you a more than fair offer shoulder the whole expenses myself." Larssen ignored the offer. "I went into the preliminaries of the scheme on the understanding that we were to pull together." "I know."
They shouted down insults; they reminded him how in his presumption he had ruined his family, and driven his daughter to suicide; and they cast in his face his brutal attack on the rich shipowner Monsen, the benefactor of the town. For a time they roused themselves from their apathy in order to take a hand in striking him down.
Pelle was always hoping for some mysterious adventure, such as happens to an able lad and raises him to fortune. But the shipowner did nothing he was expected to do. He merely searched eagerly, and inquired: "Where were you walking? Here, weren't you? Are you quite certain of that?" "In any case he'll give me another twenty-five ore," thought Pelle. "Extraordinary how eager he is!"
He founded a solid business in lamps and oils, and was the sole proprietor of a concern called the Greenside Company's Works "a multifarious concern it was," writes my cousin, Professor Swan, "of tinsmiths, coppersmiths, brassfounders, blacksmiths, and japanners." He was also, it seems, a shipowner and underwriter.
He had recently been staying near Meilen on the Lake of Zurich, and he often asked me to visit him there with Herwegh. Here we saw something of the habits and customs of a Hamburg household, which was kept up in a fairly prosperous style by his wife, the daughter of Herr Sloman, a wealthy shipowner.
"I was passing close to the door of the captain's cabin, which was half open, and I saw him give the packet and letter to Dantes." "He did not speak to me of it," replied the shipowner; "but if there be any letter he will give it to me." Danglars reflected for a moment. "Then, M. Morrel, I beg of you," said he, "not to say a word to Dantes on the subject. I may have been mistaken."
"I do believe he was sulking because Captain Fitzroy was so very attentive to me. Yet you didn't mind it a bit!" The two men looked into each other eyes. They smiled. How could they resist the contagion of her sunny nature? "I have been thinking over what you said to me just now, Anstruther," said the shipowner slowly. "Oh!" cried Iris. "Have you two been talking secrets behind my back?"
Gladstone's first tenure of office as Chancellor of the Exchequer, a curious adventure occurred to him in the London offices of the late Mr. W. Lindsay, merchant, shipowner and M.P. There one day entered a brusque and wealthy shipowner of Sunderland, inquiring for Mr. Lindsay. As Mr.
