"I I am in command of the person of his Royal Highness," he stammered, suddenly going very red. "I had forgotten your present occupation," said Truxton quietly. "Pray pardon the embarrassment I may have caused you. After all, I think Hobbs will do. He knows the country like a book. Besides, his business in the city must be very dull just now.
Even a regal personage might jump at the sight of angle worms, he reflected. He glanced up, to find her studying him, plainly perplexed. "I just wondered in here," he began guiltily. "The Prince captured me down there by the big tree." "Did you say your name is Truxton King?" she asked somewhat sceptically. "Yes, your yes, ma'am," he replied. "Of New York." "Your father is Mr. Emerson King?
"Tommy's told you somethin' about what we got ahead of us?" Truxton asked, when they had ridden half a mile in silence. "Yes. We went over the whole thing together as well as we could in a day's time." "That's good. If any man's got a head on him for this sort of thing, that man's Tommy Garton. He'd make it as plain as a man could on paper, without goin' over the ground.
The old man looked sharply at him for an instant, and a quick little smile writhed in and out among the mass of wrinkles. Instead of passing directly out of the shop, Spantz stopped a moment to give the girl some suddenly recalled instruction. Truxton King, you may be sure, did not precede the old man into the street.
Eckfeldt brought me five medals, four of which I sent by Mr. Ross; the other shall be disposed of as you direct. The die of Truxton's medal broke after fifty-two had been struck. I suppose Truxton will feel more pain for this accident than he would to hear of the death of his friend T. Coxe.
The nearest bridge was a mile and a half away and habitations were scarce, as he well knew. Under cover of the deadly revolver, the two men dropped into the water, which was above their waists; the limp form of Peter Brutus was pulled out and transferred to the shoulders of his companions. "Good-night," called out Truxton King cheerily.
As Truxton was leaving the Castle ten minutes later, Hobbs having gone before to see to the packing of food-bags and the filling of flasks, a brisk, eager-faced young attendant hurried up to him. "I bear a message from his Royal Highness," said the attendant, detaining him. "He should be sound asleep at this time," said Truxton, surprised.
I'm here for the sword." The old man glared at him in unmistakable displeasure. Truxton began counting out his money. The customer, a swarthy fellow, passed out of the door, turning to glance intently at the young man. A meaning look and a sly nod passed between him and Spantz.
She felt that she would be cheapened if she decked herself for George. When the two girls went down-stairs Truxton was waiting for his wife. "I thought you would never come," he said. He drew her within the circle of his arm, and they went out into the garden. The Judge and Mrs. Beaufort were on the porch. Becky sat on the step and leaned her head against Aunt Claudia's knee.
If you publish any thing, send me the papers which may contain it. Truxton is going out to the Mediterranean with three large and one small frigate. Apprehensions are entertained that our good ally, George III, does secretly instigate and aid the Barbary powers. We do not know that Tunis has declared war, but such an event will not surprise me.
