"You're the man, Master Nixon, to choose for churchwarden," replied the reproved miner with a glance of admiration. "What is Diggs doing?" said Master Nixon in a solemn tone. "A-dropping wages and a-raising tommy like fun," said Master Waghorn. "There is a great stir in Hell-house yard," said a miner who entered the tap room at this moment, much excited.
Mrs James, after we were gone, praised the appearance of Captain Cross, as such a nice-looking man, and old Waghorn evidently thought well of him by the answer he made. Mary, however, pretended to prefer me. As soon as I returned on board, I told young Vangilt what I had been about. He wrung my hand, and the tears started in his eyes. "You, as an officer, are indeed risking much for me.
So that Mrs O'Flinn did me a good turn at last, as I should have neglected my promise, if she had not made her appearance, sailing along like an elephantine Cleopatra. I had not called upon old Waghorn, the uncle of Jane; as I was fearful that he might recognise the pretended agent of former days with the now captain of the Circe.
In this emergency, we applied to Mr. Waghorn, who, in the expectation that I might wish to remain at Alexandria, had most kindly prepared an apartment for my reception at his own house.

It was not till eight o'clock in the evening that the party broke up, and I had then some difficulty to persuade some to go away. As for the old man, he had been put to bed an hour before.
She worried the pensionnaires to death, too. It was their duty to keep the salon tidy, and Miss Waghorn would flutter into the room as early as eight o'clock, find the furniture still unarranged, and at once dart out again to scold the girls.
The order of march was arranged, and we started off for the church on foot, making a very long and very gay procession. In half an hour it was all over, and we returned. I then had an opportunity of telling Cross what had passed between me and old Waghorn.
'No, Phoenicians, dear, when they came to Cornwall for tin 'To put the cream in, from the same source. 'No, you silly child, to get tin from the mines, of course, and Then Mother or Daddy, noting the drift of things, would interfere, and the youngsters would be obliterated until next time. Miss Waghorn would finish her recital for the hundredth time, firmly believing it to be the first.
