She stole another look at Richard: it spoke as plainly as looks could speak, "Oh yes; that is how I came to know and love him." But she only murmured, "Yes, Sir." "Speak up, Miss Trevethick," said the counsel, encouragingly; "these twelve gentlemen are all very anxious to hear what you have to say."
He picked it up, and replaced it in the hollow of his great silver watch. Richard, who was sitting where he had left him, looked up with a glance of careless inquiry. "Good-night again, Mr. Trevethick." "Good-night, Sir." And again the landlord smiled in his grim fashion.
'The Firefly, said she, 'will never come nearer home than Gethin Bay: you mark my words. That was twelve hours, ay, and more, before she struck." "Forgive me for interrupting," said Richard; "but I don't understand this matter. Is it supposed that a vessel announces her own destruction beforehand?" "Sometimes," said Trevethick, gravely.
Only a few minutes after Richard had departed for Plymouth with his check, Solomon returned to the inn with thoughtful brow. Trevethick was moodily smoking his pipe in the porch, still balancing the rival claims of his sons-in-law elect, and dissatisfied with both of them. He did not share Solomon's hopes, and he detested losing his money above every thing.
Richard's desire to conciliate was fully reciprocated by Trevethick, who wished above all things to make friends with the friend of Parson Whymper; only conciliation was so much out of his line. The old man and the young had absolutely nothing in common except their love for Harry. Upon the other hand, John Trevethick and Solomon Coe were cast almost in the same mould.
"That's just the case with mine," said Trevethick, from behind the plan. "I thought you might have five hundred pounds or so lying idle, that's all," returned the other. "I'd give six per cent. for it just now." "Oh, that's another thing. Perhaps I have. I'll see about it." "If you could get it me at once, that would be half the battle," urged Solomon.
Neither Trevethick nor Solomon, who were the principal proprietors, was the sort of man to play long at a losing game, or to send good money after bad; so, for the present, the pit was closed. But Solomon believed in Dunloppel; contrary to his custom, he had not disposed of a single share when the mine was at a premium, and his stake in it was very large.
That is, a state of things which would exist if the steam behind the piston were suddenly condensed, exists anyway. In English hands the story at once passes from this point to the experiments of Trevethick and George Stevenson with steam as applied to railway locomotion. But as Watt left it and Trevethick found it, the steam engine could never have been applied to locomotion.
In the winter they reaped the harvest of the sea, or explored the bowels of the earth; in the summer they transformed themselves into "guides," and set up curiosity-shops of shells and minerals; while, to supply accommodation to the increasing throng of Visitors, John Trevethick, who had always a keen eye for profit, had leased the village beer-house, and enlarged it to the dimensions of a respectable inn.
I have been too long your guest, I feel myself too much the friend of you and yours, to act in any way to your disadvantage." Trevethick looked at him inquiringly, suspicion and disfavor glowing in his dusky face. "But if your story is true, young gentleman, this mine will be your own some day?" "It may, or it may not be, Mr. Trevethick.
