"Hear, hear," put in Watty as uswal; an' Bandy added, "It has muckle need, as my nose can tell ye." "What d'ye think o' a midden i' the very middle o' your toon?" Sandy gaed on. "I paws for an answer," he said in a gravedigger's kind o' a voice.
As the company seemed breaking up, I thought I could not do better than take M'Corkindale's hint, and accordingly betook myself to Glenmutchkin, along with the Captain of M'Alcohol, and we quartered ourselves upon the Factor for Glentumblers. We found Watty Solder very shaky, and his assistant also lapsing into habits of painful inebriety.
This advice being seconded by Ben Trench, Watty Wilkins went aft to the captain, who had just come on deck, touched his cap, and confessed himself. For some moments the captain spoke not a word, but looked at the young culprit with a portentous frown. Then, uttering something like a deep bass growl, he ordered the lad to follow him into his private cabin.
Here Jack turned aside to cut a stick of peculiar form, which had caught his eye on the way up, and which he meant to keep as a souvenir of their discovery and the spot. Watty sauntered slowly across the plain. He had just reached the wood on the other side, and turned to wait for his comrade, when he heard two shots in quick succession.
Polly laughed, for she understood the compliment, but suddenly became grave, as she remembered Ben Trench, and said, "No, no; it must be used as a shelter for Ben." "That's kind of you, Polly," said Watty coming up with a huge bundle of grass and foliage for bedding at the moment; "but Ben has got friends to remember him as well as you.
Watty Wilkins sat down amid great applause, and Ben Trench seconded the motion, which was of course carried unanimously.
"O Watty, Watty, have you really done it? I had thought better of you." "I said I would do it, and I've done it," returned the little youth somewhat testily; "and now I want to know what is to be done next." "Report yourself and take the consequences," said Jack, promptly.
"Every girl in town doesn't skate with barber, or bandsman, or anybody who comes along, as you do." "Watty's been telling!" "Watty hasn't been telling!" broke in our eldest son in indignant protest, which he further emphasized by going out and banging the door after him. "And, Mary," Belle continued, "are you engaged to Mr. Axworthy?" "No!" sullenly.
They performed longer and more often outside Watty's than any other pub in town perhaps because Watty was considered the most hopeless publican and his customers the hardest crowd of boozers in Bourke. The band generally began to play about dusk.
Well, they was an awful hullaballo when she come to, and fur the sake of peace in the fambly Watty has to fire Mr. and Mrs. Ostrich and poor old Reginald out of their jobs, and the show is busted. So Doctor Kirby and me lit out fur other parts agin.
