"That doesn't take up a great deal of your time," he remarked. "But you're getting on, aren't you?" "I think of going in for the boot-black business," he said. "I believe I could make a reputation there." "Don't you go losing 'eart," advised Mr. Trew. "I shouldn't be in the position I occupy now if I hadn't made up my mind, from the start, not to get low-spirited.
"An' I for another," said Elias Sweetland. "An' I, An' I," echoed several voices. "Stiddy there, stiddy, my hearts of oak," began Old Zeb, reflectively. "A still tongue makes a wise head, and 'twill be time enough to talk o' shal-lals when the weddin'-day's fixed. Now I've a better notion. It will not be gain-said by any of 'ee that I've the power of logic in a high degree hey?" "Trew, O king!"
"And me being nothing more than a lonely bachelor," said Trew, "I thought perhaps the little missy here might favour me with her company." "It'll do her the world of good," declared Mrs. Mills. They met the next day near the West Entrance at half-past three. Mr.
Langham could go to the docks in the morning. "It is absolutely imperative," declared the other urgently, "that I leave at the first possible moment." "If the worst comes to the worst," said Mr. Trew, "you can ship as a stowaway. You come up on deck, third day out, and kneel at the captain's feet and sing a song about being an orphan. That, of course, would be a last resource."
If it be said they had a ship to sucour them, it is trew; but what heard they daly from y^e m^r. & company? but y^e with speede they should looke out a place with their shallop, wher they would be at some near distance; for y^e season was shuch as he would not stirr from thence till a safe harbor was discovered by them wher they would be, and he might goe without danger; and that victells consumed apace, but he must & would keepe sufficient for them selves & their returne.
Tanda and Dick Tarbox agreed to go first, and Potto Jumbo and Roger Trew were to take the second part of the night. "I think, however, you need not trouble yourselves, my friends," said Mr Sedgwick, "for they will scarcely attempt to approach this coast in the dark.
"The elderly man I told you about. The one who always waits now to see me part of the distance home. Quite a character in his way." "Quite a bad character," snapped Mrs. Mills. "Do you know him?" Her aunt gave a gulp. "I had the word from Mr. Trew," she said, still rather breathless, "and his idea is that you may as well know it now as later on.
Trew, disregarding rules of etiquette, sat down, whilst the two stood, and became greatly interested in the mechanism of a cigar-cutter. "Who told you all this, aunt?" asked the girl calmly, when Mrs. Mills had finished. "The lady customer who was here when you went out. Do you deny it?
Trew, I packed him off about his business," she said, obviously continuing a half-finished recital. "I said, 'She asked me to tell you that she thought it better for both parties that you and her shouldn't see each other again. Don't blame me, do you?" Mr. Trew rubbed his chin with the knuckle of a finger and remarked that, by rights, he ought to have a shave.
We can rough it well enough on the ground." We had made some progress in our preparations, when Mr Thudicumb and Dick Tarbox arrived. With their assistance we got on still more rapidly. Roger Trew had remained on the beach to watch the movements of the supposed pirates.
