"Not at all," protested Louis. "It is to give the gentlemen who question so closely an opportunity to have an abundance of a good thing." "But we could not eat the dinner," said Uncle Moses. "We are not hogs." "Oh, you are not!" chuckled the owner. "But what has all this to do with hunting and exploring in Borneo?" inquired Mr. Woolridge.
"They must be nearly a mile long." "They are quite a mile long," replied Mr. Woolridge. "Did they bring the stone from the quarries away up the Nile, where they got the material of which the pyramids are built?" "Not at all; that would have been about as big a job as digging out the canal." "Hardly; for they could have brought them by water about all the way," said the commander.
"It is the bummaloti, sometimes called the Bombay duck, something like both the salmon and the trout. It is a salt-water fish, abundant off this coast, where it is extensively taken, salted, and dried, to be sent to all parts of India." "It is elegant," said Mr. Woolridge, who was an epicure. The roast beef and chickens were very good, and the fruit was highly appreciated.
"I do know the run; but that was not what you asked me," answered Scott with the same mischievous smile. "What did I ask you?" "The first time you asked me all right, and I should have answered you if I had not felt obliged to switch off and inform you and Miss Woolridge of my new appointment. The second time you put it you changed the question." "I changed it?" queried Louis.
"Do you believe in the explanation of that Dutchman you mentioned, Captain Ringgold?" asked Mr. Woolridge, at the close of the conference. "What Dutchman?" inquired the commander. "I do not remember that I alluded to any Dutchman." "I mean the man who says that Pharaoh's army perished in the lake where the weeds and papyrus grew," the magnate explained. "Brugsch?
"We are not so near it as we shall be later; but you will all see it after we get into the Red Sea. We will defer the subject till that time; and I should not have mentioned it if the south-east wind had not suggested it." "I got a glance at an enormously big steamer ahead of us just as we were leaving the promenade," added Mr. Woolridge.
"Derived from their holy books is the allegorical idea that the Brahmin, or priest, was the mouth of the original man; the warrior his arms; the agriculturist his thighs; while the Sudra, or common people, sprang out of his feet. The duties and relations of the four castes are defined and stated in the laws of Manu." "We have not been introduced to him," suggested Mrs. Woolridge.
They all manifest their interest by asking questions. Like myself, Mrs. Belgrave and Mrs. Blossom are Methodists, while the Woolridge family are Episcopalians, though none of us are bigoted. The sisters of my church are very favorable to religious topics, such as were suggested on the Nile; and when we were near the land of Goshen and the Sinai peninsula Mrs.
Woolridge, who was a yachtsman, and was so confident that the little steamer would have to be cast into the sea, that Scott was somewhat mollified. He had made his reputation as a sailor, a navigator, a brave fellow, on board of her, and to lose the Maud seemed like destroying the ark which had brought him out of the floods of evil, and made a man of him.
Woolridge, do you happen to remember the Italian name of Christopher Columbus, whose discovery of America you are to celebrate at Chicago this year?" "Cristoforo Colombo," replied Morris promptly. "I read it on his monument at Genoa last summer."
