He had never, in all his adventures, met with a youth who had gained so much upon his affections as the lad Springall.
Then, I forget their names; but I know there is neither a Herbert nor a Robert among them. Alas! there are good reasons why it should so be. I think Richard Cromwell stood godfather to the eldest." "Richard Cromwell!" repeated Springall, in a tone of contempt. "He was wise, though; he felt that he had not his father's talents, consequently could not maintain his father's power," observed Robin.
"Stuff, stuff! every enemy destroyed is a shade nearer safety," said Springall; "and Noll knows it." "That's well said, Spring," replied Jack, winking on his companion; "and I'll tell you what's true, too, shall I?" "Ay, ay." "Young geese are the greatest cacklers."
As they neared the vessel, they perceived that not more than five or six of their comrades were, like shadowy things, pacing the deck. Jeromio himself, however, they noted, waiting to receive them. Dalton, who was vigilant as brave, had previously thrown his boat-cloak over Springall, so that he might not be recognised, and handed him a cutlass and pistol.
I'll be at the Nest to-morrow early if " "Hush!" said the more careful Robin, "never speak words of secret, openly See ye yonder?" "Yes," replied Springall, "two horsemen on the other road; too far off to hear my words, unless they had the ears of a hare." "I had better go with you, sir," observed Robin earnestly: "I will go with you, that's the truth of it.
"Let me read my log my own way, or I cannot read it at all and you know, master, I never spin a long yarn, except when I can't help it." Dalton smiled, for, of all the youths he had ever known, Springall loved the most to hear himself talk.
The evening is closing, and neither of the other ships whose slovenly rigging wants Blake's dressing hae any guns a-board to signify." "Ay," said another, "so much for our near neighbours: what say you to our farther ones, at t'other side the island just at the entrance to the Mersey?" "Say!" said Springall, "why, that they could be round in less than no time if they knew who's who."
Having so said, she sank back, while the serving wench stood in astonishment: and at length inquired, "What she meant?" "She raves," was Robin's reply, drawing the girl out of the chamber: "give my humble duty to your lady, and tell her that the son of Mother Hays is with her, and that she lacks nothing the world can give her now." As the girl departed, Springall came to the door.
The stranger, however, remained with his hat so much slouched over his face, that his features were in complete shadow, while his cloak was muffled over the lower part of his countenance. "I say, Robin," exclaimed Springall, "come out of your shell; you have remained there long enough to tell over a dozen creeds or paters, were they in fashion Come out, are you bewitched?
"What!" he said angrily to the girl; "he has killed four of my men, and is doubtless one of Bruce's party who slipped through my fingers the other day and killed so many of my kinsmen and vassals. You have taken too much upon yourself, Marjory. It is not by you that he has been made captive, but by my men, and you had no power to give such promise as you have made. Who is this young springall?"
