Neither of them spoke for some minutes. Tom didn't know what to say, while Alice was evidently thinking deeply. "Have you been to the Young Men's Class this afternoon," she asked presently. "Nay." "Why?" asked the girl, looking at him steadily. "It's noan in my line," replied Tom. "That kind of thing'll do for kids, but when people get grown up they want something better."
"Sister Eliza has an uncommon light hand with babies and that pore young thing'll be hard pushed to pay the doctor, let alone a nurse." These essentially feminine details regarding the talents of Sister Eliza, did not especially interest Smith, who continued his favorite occupation or rather, joint occupations, of whittling and expectorating.
"Catch him and take it off," Carolyn June cried, "it's hurting him!" Skinny started toward the rapidly gyrating jumble of claws, can and cat. "I will if the darn' thing'll hold still a minute!" he said. Carolyn June looked at the Ramblin' Kid, still leaning against the fence watching the cat's contortions. "Why don't you help him?" she asked impatiently.
"I'll not deny she had her good pints," said the American sympathisingly; "but I guess the poor thing'll soon be bruk up." "Yes, son, more's the pity," responded the other; "sure an' I wish we had her safe ashore here and we'd save ivory plank of her."
"Yes, captain," replied the agent. "Here they are; Leigh and Mr Pengelly have just signed them." "All right then. If you'll come along with me over to the Marine Superintendent's office," said Captain Billings, to us two, "we'll have the signatures witnessed to these indenture articles; and then the thing'll be all settled, and the boy can come aboard at once."
"But you'll hev times of trouble an' doubt, off an' on." "Is that so?" asked the captain, thoughtfully. "Yes," continued Mrs. Simmons; "but don't be afeard; ev'ry thing'll come right in the end. I know I've been through it all." "That's so," said the captain, "you hev that. Well, now, would you mind interdoosin' me to your minister?" "Mind!" said the good old lady.
He's so infernal rash. I can see the half-caste holding him on. If the police are on his tracks they'll spring the plant here, and the whole thing'll be blown. We saw them come to the top of the wall, as it were, then they stopped for a long while, then all of a sudden they seemed to disappear. 'Let's go over to the other side, says father; 'they're coming down the gully now.
"What d'ye think of today's doings, Spargo?" he asked, as he proceeded to unlock a cupboard. "I think," said Spargo, "that some of you fellows must have had your ears set to tingling." "That's so," assented Rathbury. "Of course, the next thing'll be to find out all about the Mr. Aylmore of twenty years since.
"Oh, it was you, was it?" said Carver, with professional indifference. "Lucky man! So you've only been hearing " "A repetition of what I'd heard before," answered Triffitt. "I knew all that evidence before I went into court. Caretaker police folks from Portman Square doctor all the lot! And I guess there'll be nothing this afternoon the thing'll be adjourned."
"I think this thing'll work now for a spell, anyhow," Shade Buckheath's voice sounded sharply from the road behind them. "Are you afraid to attempt it, Miss Sessions?" the young man called to his companion. "If you are, we'll walk up, I'll telephone at the house for a trap and we'll drive back: Buckheath will take the machine in for us."
