That power, Susan, thinks proper to claim your unworthy and enamored swain as one of the brightest Colossuses of her future glory.
Swain looked at the knots, and I was glad to see that his hands were absolutely steady and his face free from fear. No murderer could handle so unconcernedly the instrument of his crime! Surely the jury would see that! "The knots," said Swain, at last, "seem to be an ordinary square knot with which the cord was made into a noose, and then a double bowline to secure it." "A double bowline?
He may possibly, at that season, join company with Jamrack that curiosity of the animal world; or, he may hibernate in the Seven Dials, as most feather-fanciers do; or, he may retire to his private mansion in Belgrave Square; or, again, he may, peradventure, go abroad "to increase his store," in the fashion of Norval's father, the "frugal swain" who fattened his flocks on the Grampian Hills though, I prefer South Down mutton, myself!
And the young folks danced till supper time. In three months Patty's suppers grew famous in a colony where there was no lack of good cooks. The sweet-natured invalid enjoyed these festivities in her quiet way, and often pressed me to partake. So did Patty beg me, and Mr. Swain.
It was rather breezy. When the first boat reached the ship, to our surprise it at once began to return, and the other two did not go on. Soon after two o'clock Charlotte Swain came running up from the beach, quite breathless, to say the captain was coming ashore and wanted especially to see Graham, so we went down, thinking he was perhaps bringing letters.
By means of this he is empowered to assume what form he pleases. By means of this it was hoped he would be able to subdue the most prepossessed, and melt the most obdurate female heart. By means of this it was hoped, he might evade not only the simple swain, but all the wiles of the most experienced and subtle adversary.
Farrinder would treat that branch of the question. In her researches among her young townswomen she had always found this obtrusive swain planted in her path, and she grew at last to dislike him extremely. She hardly knew what to say to Mrs. Farrinder when this momentarily misdirected woman, still preoccupied with the Mill-dam, returned to the charge.
Lest the reader should suppose Macnab to be a love-sick swain, I may remark here that Jessie was a sister whom he had left on the shores of Loch Ness, and with whom he kept up a vigorous biennial correspondence. As the stove made no reply, he continued his address. "If I only had a few books now, it wouldn't be so hard to bear.
He got to his feet, and with the customary declaration of humble servitude bowed himself out. The door was scarce closed on him when the captain had me by the hands. "What said I, Henry?" he cried. "Did I not know the lad?" Mr. Swain did not stir from his seat. He was still gazing at me with a curious expression. And then I saw the world in truer colour.
For she went to the theater each night now, and every evening she received an ardent note, and every evening she allowed the amorous swain to accompany her as far as her house, and men were beginning to envy him on account of his brilliant conquest, when a catastrophe happened which was very surprising for all concerned.
