Robin's cheek was blanched, and his ken wandered over the blazing gulf which had swallowed up the dwelling of his early years. Springall, with the quickness of feeling that passes from kind heart to kind heart, without the aid of words, sprang towards him, and catching his arm, exclaimed, "Your mother's body! it is safe, safe, Robin, under the dark tree, by the cairn stones.
Do not give what I am going to write on this parchment to the Skipper until I have made a signal from the ship. He is too old a sailor not to be on the look out; but you and Springall must be with him. You owe me thus much service for a wrong you once did me. It is meet that I forget and forgive it now." "As to the wrong, Robin, it is clear out of my memory," replied Roupall.
"We are not Cavaliers," interrupted Robin, in his turn; "as I hope for mercy, we are not Cavaliers: hard honest pains-taking Commonwealth citizens are we; but not, I say not," and he elevated his voice to its highest pitch, "not Cavaliers." "The devil's in the cards, and knaves are trumps," exclaimed Springall; "nevertheless I'll have my toast, and here it is.
Dalton still remained, uncertain, perhaps, or careless as to his future course, with Barbara still hanging on his arm, while the Jewess clung closely to her side. "Springall!" said Robin, "you have influence with him. Use it for his good: his pardon is secured if he complies with the terms I have mentioned." "Great tidings! glad tidings!" exclaimed a hoarse voice a little above them.
"Ah! ah! ah!" shouted several of the party, "Robin Hays turned preacher! Old Noll has sent the breath of holiness before him to supply his place, and made a sudden convert of the Ranger!" "I entreat you most meekly to be silent; if not for my sake, for your own. My brethren, you know not " "That here comes the black jack," interrupted Springall; "and here's to the health But Cavaliers "
Springall then told him she was ill fancied herself dying, and that, as the old dame seemed so wishful to see Mistress Cecil, saying she had something important to communicate to her, he had gone up to Cecil Place, and found a strange messenger to do his bidding.
"Then go back to the boat, sir," replied the elder, as he began, with cautious yet steady daring, to ascend a course attended with evident danger, "Go back to the boat, sir and, here, Jeromio! you have not been taught your duty on board the Providence, and, I presume, have no scruples, like our friend Oba Springall. Jeromio! I say, hither and up with me!"
"So you won't give us a toast, Master Robin," said Springall; "well, I'll not only give ye a toast, but I'll stand the price of a fresh jack of double-dub for you all to drink it in; and I'll fight any man that says it nay, besides."
Wrap me the head in a clean napkin; I would fain make a present to Sir Willmott Burrell a wedding present he may think it, if he will. The head to which he trusted will serve the purpose well. I will not send you, Springall, on this errand," he continued, laying his hand gently on the shoulder of the trembling boy, who sickened at the disgusting sight.
Even Springall spoke no word, although his feeling of attachment to Dalton was rendered sufficiently obvious by his creeping close to his side, and grasping his arm with a gesture which said, "I will not be separated from you."
