Do you wish to be taken off?" "Si, Senor, si, si," answered a short, stout, black-bearded individual who formed one of the trio on the stranger's poop, "we are full of water and sinking. Take us off, for the love of God! We have pumped until we can pump no more, our strength being completely exhausted, and the leak is gaining on us rapidly." "Very well," returned George.
The question fell with something of a shock on the ears of the assembled searchers who had just completed a second fruitless hunt through the house. Why had they not thought of the trio of "mystery masters" before? "We ought to have called them in at once," Mrs. Stanlock said. "I suppose they've gone by this time, but I'll see."
Just the same I shall keep on saying now that I believe she stole our stuff. Mrs. Weatherbee needn't think she can make me keep quiet. I have a perfect right to my own belief and I'll see to it that others besides myself share it." In Jane's and Judith's room a highly disgusted trio of girls held session directly they had left Mrs. Weatherbee.
A huge fellow, leaning on the handle of a wide-bladed gleaming axe, stood by the side of the block. The trio of Protestants were taken up the steps of the scaffold. Two priests accompanied them. "We do worship God but we will not worship either the Anti-christ, Anti-God, or his image!" It was Ralph who, in ringing fearless tones, replied, the other two responding with: "Amen!
The triumph of Muscovite influence now seemed to be complete, until the trio just named usurped the functions of the Bulgarian Ministers and informed the Prince that they took their orders from the Czar, not from him.
It was Akut, and instantly he commenced leaping and bounding about the trio, uttering hideous shrieks and mouthings that to any other human beings might have indicated the most ferocious rage; but these three knew that the king of the apes was doing homage to a king greater than himself.
At the sight of this manoeuvre, Dierich's man lost heart, and, being now full eighty yards behind Gerard, and rather more than that in advance of his nearest comrade, he pulled up short, and, in obedience to Dierich's order, took down his crossbow, levelled it deliberately, and just as the trio were sinking out of sight over the crest of the hill, sent the bolt whizzing among them.
The trio seemed to have finished their discussion, whatever its nature might have been, for they sauntered down to the edge of the water where the man in the dungarees proceeded to embark by means of a small boat that he could leave secured to the mooring rope of the amphibian when he took off. "Making off to pick up another cargo, I reckon," Jack ventured.
All right, I don't know but what it will be safer for the three of you to go together," he said; and Dick lost no time in telling his brothers. In a few minutes the trio set off for the Stanhope cottage, little dreaming of the long time that was to elapse before they should see Putnam Hall again.
"We shall go to Rockhold to welcome the king and queen when they return, Cora," said Mr. Fabian, waving his hand to the departed trio, though he had not the least intention of keeping his word. He then led his pretty Violet into the house.
