This is a most useful dodge where so many enemies abound, all swifter in the water than the slow-swimming flat fish. If you look for flat fish in an aquarium, you will not easily see them. Now and again one will swim up, with a wavy motion of its body. On settling again, it shuffles and flaps about, works itself into the sand, hiding its edges well under, and then, hey presto! it is gone!
I am willing to believe that both Lady Feodora and myself would have been drowned but for your plucky conduct and generous efforts in our behalf on Lake Constance." "I am very glad to have served you, and I assure you I hold you to no obligations of any kind," replied Shuffles. "I simply did what I regarded as my duty, which my sea life fitted me to perform."
I shall do my duty as an officer, as I promised to do when I was made third lieutenant." "Do you mean to say you will stop me, Shuffles, if you see me going?" demanded Wilton. "I do mean so; I promised faithfully to do my duty as an officer, and I shall do it." "See here, Bob Shuffles; you needn't talk to me in that manner.
"I think so myself," replied Shuffles; "but there is some difference of opinion on that subject." Sir William was duly presented to Lord Elfinstone, at the Holländischer Hof, and they did not part till after nine o'clock; so the young couple had the evening all to themselves.
"Why didn't you say so then?" demanded Sanborn. "You have got us into a pretty scrape! That is the reason why Shuffles wouldn't play himself." "Yes, he said it was; but I didn't believe Lowington knew anything about it; I don't see how he could. He walked in here as straight as though he had been sent for, and knew just where to go," said Wilton.
Shuffles, who stood near the principal, looked very much disconcerted when this announcement was made, and whispered to Paul Kendall that it was not fair to distribute the offices by last year's record.
She tricked him cunningly and struck a tremendous return blow in producing her male infant. By the way, was she actually born in wedlock? Lord Levellier's assurances regarding her origin were, by the calculation, a miser's shuffles to clinch his bargain.
The young man took the oar, and pulled as he was directed; and Shuffles went to work vigorously with the tub, in throwing out the water. He labored so diligently and effectually, that in a few moments he had relieved the boat of the great burden of water within her.
"I didn't know anything about it till supper time," answered Grossbeck. "I see it all," continued Pelham. "The receivers were the 'butts, and about a dozen fellows voted for Shuffles, including Gordon and Kendall, supposing they were simply playing 'Don't know Beans." It did not require a great deal of penetration on the part of the fourth lieutenant to comprehend the trick of his rival.
"I am very sorry to find you here, Shuffles," said Mr. Agneau, when he had locked the door behind him. "Has Lowington sent you to torment me?" demanded the prisoner. "Mr. Lowington, you mean," added the chaplain, gently. "No, I mean Lowington. When a man has abused and insulted me, I can't stop to put a handle to his name." "I regret to find you in such an unhappy frame of mind, my young friend.
