I think he has never been aboard this one, although it is probably the most expensive boat in these waters. I am told it cost anywhere from half a million to a million. She was built by Thornycroft, like a cruiser, with Parson's turbine engines in her.
"I declare, I have been as anxious for the young lady's benefit as if I had intended marrying her myself." The bridegroom's quick, fiery glance showed Major Harper that he had gone a little too far, even in privileged jesting. But happily Nathanael had heard the door open. He hastily went forward and met his bride. With her were Mr. and Mrs. Thornycroft, Dr. and Mrs. Ianson, and another lady.
Thornycroft woke up; with many apologies, poor man; only, as his wife said, "Everybody knew how hard James worked, and how tired he was at night." The two gentlemen fraternised once more. They began one of those general arguments on the history of the times, which when spoken, are intensely interesting, and being written as intensely prosy.
Everybody craned their necks to watch while, at the magistrate's order, Kelley weighed the block of wood on the store scales, which he put on the magistrate's table. "Fo'teen punds," said Mr. Kirby. "Take the scales away." "It had rubbed all the skin off'n the dog's neck," broke in Davy impulsively. "It was all raw an' bleedin'." "Aw, that ain't so!" cried Thornycroft.
In her own room too, surrounded by familiar objects the six-foot dressing-table and the nine-foot wardrobe, and the Aspinalled book-case that was a fixture, amongst other things. She had not taken them to her suburban villa, nor sent for them afterwards. Meanwhile, Mr Thornycroft had bought them with the place, and taken care of them, as of everything that she had left behind.
"You should have let me write to Emma, as I wished." "No," he said, shortly; "it was a pity to trouble her." "She would not have thought it so, poor dear Emma." "Were you very intimate with Mrs. Thornycroft? Did you tell her everything in your heart, as women do?" Agatha was amused by the jealous searching tone and look, so replied carelessly: "Oh yes, all I had to tell, which was not much.
Agatha slid from her lover's arms, and swiftly passing out at the door, met Emma coming in. The unlucky bridegroom was left to make his own explanation to Mrs. Thornycroft, and how he performed that feat remains a mystery to this day. Solemnly, and much affected, the bride went up-stairs to put on her wedding-garments. Anne Valery had just arrived.
Mr Thornycroft, judgin' by the looks of that houn', you ain't give him enough to eat to keep a cat alive an' a cat we all know, don't eat much, just messes over her vittles. You condemned that po' beast, for no fault of his own, to the life of a felon. A houn' that ain't happy at best, he's melancholy; an' a houn' that ain't allowed to run free is of all critters the wretchedest.
Thornycroft, startled in the winding-up of a long harangue about the Corn Laws by the exceedingly bright look which his hearer turned towards him. "Yes, I think I shall soon comprehend everything," was the answer, as Mr. Harper placed himself on the arm of his wife's chair in the gay attitude of a very boy. She, moving a little, made room for him and smiled.
But there came a day when he fell again below the indispensable standard when the rift in the lute, that had seemed closed, gaped suddenly, and this time beyond repair. He was too upset by the discovery, and a bad quarter of an hour that Mr Thornycroft had subsequently given him, to preserve that calm demeanour which was his study and his pride.
