There is no more natural, truly affecting passage than his display of fretfulness when he got some inkling that his second daughter was about to make a rather improvident marriage with young Snodgrass. The first had followed her inclinations in wedding Trundle a not very good match but he did not lose her as the pair lived beside him.
Unfortunately William or Trundle had remarked that it was much more important to shorten sail on the appearance of bad weather on board a short-handed merchantman, than on board a man-of-war with a strong crew. I saw O'Carroll looking anxiously aloft, and then again to windward. At last he could stand it no longer.
"My father and mother lived in a log cabin. They had homemade furniture. They had a bunk up side the wall and a trundle bed. That was the cabin they lived in in slavery time. Soldiers "My father said once that when the men were gone, the soldiers came in and asked the women to cook for them. They wouldn't do it; so the soldiers made them bring them a chunk of fire.
"Ah, now! if some of you would just have the goodness to come aboard here, you would serve us nicely for breakfast," exclaimed Trundle, as he observed them. He had scarcely spoken when upwards of a dozen out of a large shoal leaped, or flew rather, right in among us, while as many more passed clean over the boat.
Only a stone's throw from those brightly lighted windows of the Pembertons'! Their superfluous radiance pouring out lavishly across the narrow street, searched even through the dim panes behind which Glory sat, resting her tired arms, after tucking away their ordinary burden in his crib, and answering Herbert's wearisome questions, who from his trundle bed kept asking, ceaselessly: "What are they doing now?
The younger gentlemen were running about helping the ladies, and doing the polite in the most approved fashion. Trundle smacked his lips so loudly at the sight that some of the party turned a hasty glance in the direction where we lay hidden, supposing probably that the noise was made by some bird in the foliage above their heads.
Even the old chairs and tables at Mostyn are held as sacred objects by him, though I have no doubt an American girl would trundle them off to the garret. It is the same with the people. He actually regards the Rawdons as belonging in some way to the Mostyns; and I do not believe he has ever been in love before." "Nonsense!" "He was so surprised by the attack.
The two officers were tolerably good friends in general; but a very slight thing would make them fall out, though they as speedily patched up their quarrels again. One day there was a light breeze and a smooth sea, and Trundle, not expecting to be wanted, had repaired to the main-deck, where Chissel was superintending his crew at work.
This traffic has ever since been carried on, greatly contributing to retard the progress of civilisation. I was very sorry to have to part from my brother William, and not a little so from that merriest of merry midshipmen, Toby Trundle. "We shall meet again one of these days, Trundle," I said, as I warmly shook hands with him.
And the big kind giant took his pocket handkerchief out again to wipe his blue eyes, and after that he went over to the piano and sang: "If I had my little boy again How happy I should be, I'd piggy-back him all around And trundle him on my knee. "But oh, dear me. It's so long ago, And he's been away so long, That all I can do is to wish and wish That he could hear this song."
