When, unfortunately for the profession and for his country, he fell sick at Madras, and knew that his last moments were fast approaching, he called his faithful friend and old follower in many ships and many actions, Lieutenant, afterwards Captain Walcott to his bedside, and said to him,
Walcott," said Kate, her eyes ablaze with indignation, "would you make a woman your wife who did not love you who never could, under any circumstances, love you?" Walcott suddenly seized her hands in his, looking down into her eyes with his steady, dominant gaze. "If I loved her as I love you," he said, slowly, "I would make her my wife though she hated me, and win her love afterwards!
As leading lady he had the distinguished Miss Erminia Walcott; her part was a trying one, for she had to be half-strangled by ruffians and flung most decorously over the parapet of London Bridge. In the long list of subordinate performers occurred two names with which we are familiar, Miss Grace Danver and Miss Clara Vale.
But mind, you fellows," he continued, as the others pricked up their ears and prepared to listen, "this is not a story for repetition, and I pledge you to silence before I say another word." "Honor bright!" said Charles Milton; and the captain nodded his head. "The facts are these: Five or six years ago, I knew a little of Alan Walcott.
"The fact that my father has given you his permission to pay attention to me does not warrant any such familiarity on your part." "Perhaps not," Walcott replied, in his low, musical tones, "but stolen waters are often sweetest. If I have offended, pardon.
Walcott," Kate answered, calmly. "What!" he exclaimed, scarcely comprehending the full import of her words; "isn't the matter bad enough as it is without your making it worse by any foolish talk or actions?" "I don't understand you, papa; to what do you refer?" "Why, Mr.
But I felt sure there was nothing in it, and the few who guess that it refers to you will draw the same conclusion. Don't think any more about it!" "A lie sticks when it is well told," said Walcott, gloomily. "There are plenty of men who would rather believe it than the uninteresting truth."
"Ain't you coming to supper?" she called to him, as she was leaving the room. "I don't wish anything this evening. My head aches badly," he answered. "In the dumps again," muttered Mrs. Walcott to herself. "It's as much as one's life is worth to ask for money, or to say that anything is wanted." And she kept on her way to the dining-room.
It will be near sunset before we can reach home." "There are still several hours of daylight," replied Edward Walcott; "and we will not turn back without ascending this hill. The prospect from the summit is beautiful, and will be particularly so now, in this rich sunlight. Come, Ellen, one light touch of the whip, your pony is as fresh as when we started."
This was a disappointment to Captain Walcott, who knowing that two Spanish men-of-war schooners were cruising off the coast, and that there were numerous trading schooners of the same appearance, feared that the pirates would escape. However, on the 31st of March, the two British ships discovered the vessel of which they were in search off Barracoa.
