"I have seen them together sometimes." "I love Amanda Trivett!" said Ralph. "Poor girl!" I sighed. "I beg your pardon?" "Poor girl!" I said. "I mean, to have Arthur Jukes hanging round her." "That's just what I think," said Ralph Bingham. "And that's why we're going to play this match." "What match?" "This match we've decided to play.
Mrs Trivett, who had had much experience with the ailments of a sister's big family, feared that the baby was sickening for something.
"Thank you, miss. It isn't often we have such a winsome young lady like you to visit us," said Mrs Trivett, as she sat forward on her chair with her hands clasped on the side nearest to Mavis, a manner peculiar to country women. "I can't get over your husband being a farmer as well as a musician," remarked Mavis. Mrs Trivett shook her head sadly.
Every time we opened our mouths the barber shoved his brush into them, and the monsters then ducked our heads under water to wash them out, as they said. More dead than alive we were at last allowed to go, but had scarcely strength left to crawl away. Tom Trivett was next dragged aft, though he declared that he had often crossed the line.
Mrs Trivett came in with many apologies for disturbing Mavis. She then told her lodger that the broker's man was aware of the illness from which Mavis's baby was suffering; also that, as he was a family man, he objected to being in a house where there was a contagious disease, and that, if the child were not removed to the local fever hospital by the evening, he would inform the authorities.
"Why, if I didn't think you were at the bottom of the sea, I should have declared that you were Tom Trivett." "And so I am," he said, "though I'm not at the bottom of the sea, and right glad I am to find you, Dick, out of that dreadful ship. Come along, we mustn't stand talking here; we were sent to bring you off, and, judging by your looks, the sooner you're on board the better."
"It's the anniversary of the day on which I first met Trivett, and I've made a moorhen and rabbit-pie to celebrate it," declared Mrs Trivett. Mavis was a little surprised at this piece of information, but she very soon learned that Mrs Trivett's life was chiefly occupied with the recollection and celebration of anniversaries of any and every event which had occurred in her life.
Why, he would never go down unless he had a couple of hands with him." While this was going on, Tom Trivett continued swabbing my head and neck. When the mate walked aft he called to the cook to bring him a bucket of warm water from the caboose, as well as a lump of soap, a scrubbing-brush, and a piece of canvas.
They were handsome fellows, both of them, and well aware of the fact; and when Amanda Trivett came to stay they simply straightened their ties, twirled their moustaches, and expected her to do the rest. But there they were disappointed. Perfectly friendly though she was to both of them, the lovelight was conspicuously absent from her beautiful eyes.
The mates, with boats' stretchers in their hands, had to rush in among them before they could be induced to desist. Not until a breeze sprang up, and they were ordered aloft to make sail, were they brought into anything like order. For days afterwards Mark and I limped about the deck, with aching heads and sore faces, and Tom Trivett could with difficulty get through his duty.
