Then, closing the door, he said with a smile, "nothing that is said inside this cabin ever is told anywhere else." There was that in the speech, bearing and looks of Captain Tolley which inspired Master Raymond with great confidence in him. "I feel that I may trust you, Captain," he said earnestly.
"This is outrageous!" said Master Mather. "I will hold both of you accountable for it." "It is a bad time to threaten, when your head is in the lion's mouth, Master Mather," returned Captain Tolley fiercely. "No one knows but my own men that you ever came on board the 'Storm King. How do you know that I am not Captain Kidd himself?" The minister's face grew pale.
There was something about the poor, foolish painted face, as it looked up pleadingly, that gave it a momentary touch of beauty. "Do," said Joan, speaking earnestly. "I shall be so very pleased if you will." "Thank you," said the woman. Miss Lavery came up in a hurry to introduce her to Miss Tolley.
Before long they were at one of the wharves; then on a small boat then on the deck of the "Storm King." "I am better than my word, Captain Tolley." "Aye! indeed you are. And this is the birdie! Fair Mistress, the "Storm King" and his brood are ready to die to shield you from harm." Dulcibel looked wonder out of her clear blue eyes. What did it all mean? She smiled at the Captain's devoted speech.
Tolley had the baby, and was bidding him "love his Auntie Gussie," while she kissed his rounding little cheek.
A sombre lady just behind her, whom Joan from the distance took to be her nurse, turned out to be her secretary, whose duty it was to be always at hand, prepared to take down any happy idea that might occur to the bird-like little woman in the course of conversation. The bird-like little woman was Miss Rose Tolley, a popular novelist.
"Oh, I admit that," said Captain Tolley, somewhat mollified, "we cannot expect of mere land's people, who put an innocent girl like that into prison for no offense, the gentle behavior towards women that comes naturally from a seaman; but what do you propose?" "To send for one of the Boston ministers, and marry her before we leave port." "Why, of course," replied the Captain.
"I am afraid that would be a very unhealthy position she might catch a bad cold," replied Master Raymond. "Oh, of course I mean in wood, painted white with red cheeks," said Captain Tolley. "It brings good luck to have a fine woman for a figure-head pleases old Nep, you know." "But we must get her off first," rejoined Master Raymond.
Tolley and Min rather languidly removed the main platters and, by reaching backward, piled the dinner plates on the shining new oak sideboard. Thus room was made for the salad, which was always mantled in tepid mayonnaise, whether it was sliced tomatoes, or potatoes, or asparagus.
But the three girls can easily turn in together for a night, Abner will be delighted." "Abner is your second?" suggested Miss Tolley. "My third," the Human Document corrected her. "After Eustace, I married Ivanoff. I say 'married' because I regard it as the holiest form of marriage. He had to return to his own country. There was a political movement on foot. He felt it his duty to go.
