Still, I said nothing; but stared moodily down into the water. I could plan nothing; though I would get mad, feverish fits of thinking. "Do you hear?" he said. He was almost crying. "Yes, Tammy," I replied. "But I don't know! I don't know!" "You don't know!" he exclaimed. "You don't know! Do you mean we're just to give in, and be murdered, one after another?" "We've done all we can," I replied.
'Aw 'm sayin', he remarked to Merton, 'you're no Lairdie Bower. 'Hear till the man! Aw 'm Tammy Hamilton, o' Moss End in Lanerick. Aw 'm ganging to see ma Jean. 'For day or night Ma fancy's flight Is ever wi' ma Jean Ma bonny, bonny, flat-footed Jean, sang Merton, gliding from the strains of Robert Burns into those of Mr. Boothby.
"Stay; you do not yet, quick sir, see my scheme a scheme which would pay your debts and put you at ease at once Miss Tammy Clay, the bishop's sister." "An old, ugly, cross, avaricious devil!" cried Buckhurst. "Rich! passing rich! and well inclined toward you, Buckhurst, as you know."
The Skipper stared at me. "You're quite sure?" he asked. "Yes, Sir," I answered. "Tammy saw it, too." I waited a minute. Then they turned to go aft. The Second was saying something. "Can I go, Sir?" I asked. "Yes, that will do, Jessop," he said, over his shoulder. But the Old Man came back to the break, and spoke to me. "Remember, not a word of this forrard!" he said.
A few tomatoes make the soup better; if they are tinned, do not add them till after the soup has been passed through the tammy; if they are fresh, put them in with the other vegetables. Simmer for an hour, add pepper and salt before serving.
With the peat in his hands he returned in the same way, glancing every moment at the bed where Mysy lay. Though Tammy Gow's face was pressed against a broken window, he did not hear Cree putting that peat on the fire. Some say that Mysy heard, but pretended not to do so for her son's sake; that she realized the deception he played on her and had not the heart to undeceive him.
Suddenly Ailie cried: "Bide a meenit, Tammy," and vanished. Presently she was back, with the difficulty overcome. "Grannie says I can wear her shoon. She doesna wear 'em i' the hoose, ava." "I'll gie ye a saxpence, Ailie," offered Tammy. The sordid bargain shocked no feeling of these tenement bairns nor marred their pleasure in the adventure.
For a moment, he said nothing, and I saw him peering stealthily about the poop. "Go on," I said. "You'd better make haste, or he'll be up before you're half-way through. What was he doing at the wheel when I came up to relieve it? Why did he send you away from it?" "He didn't," Tammy replied, turning his face towards me. "I bunked away from it." "What for?" I asked.
I threw myself flat, and waited, breathlessly. All at once, it seemed to me that it was darker than it had been the previous moment, and I raised my head, very cautiously. I saw that the ship was enveloped in great billows of mist, and then, not six feet from me, I made out someone lying, face downwards. It was Tammy. I felt safer now that we were hidden by the mist, and I crawled to him.
Tammy slept in a small chamber beside the kitchen, and at a distance from the rooms inhabited by his master, therefore the lads were not much afraid of being heard even if the recluse had not gone to sleep. But Gaun Neeven was asleep, and so was Tammy, "like a top, and snoring too like one," whispered Yaspard as he led the way.
