It was the concomitant of his normal build and outlook on life. Mrs. Bowse, his hard-worked landlady, began by being calmed down by his mere bearing when he came to apply for his room and board. She had a touch of grippe, and had just emerged from a heated affray with a dirty cook, and was inclined to battle when he presented himself. In a few minutes she was inclined to battle no longer.
Ha!" shouted the tall gypsy; "it is many a long day since my old Mort slapped a gallant's face for such an affront. But here come our messmates. Good evening, my mumpers; make your bows to this gentleman who has come to bowse with us to-night. 'Gad, we'll show him that old ale's none the worse for keeping company with the moon's darlings. Come, sit down, sit down.
Bowse, with his first mate and Colonel Gauntlett, stood near the gangway, which was lighted up with a lantern to receive the strangers, as a small boat containing in all only four persons, came round under the brig's stern. They pulled only two oars, and two people were seated in the stern sheet.
Say, Bowse" the intimacy grew as the young man's talents loomed up in Muffles's mind "tell de gentleman what de boss said 'bout yer printin'." "Said I could print all right, only there warn't no more work." There was a modesty in Bowser's tone that gave me a better opinion of him. "Said ye could print all right, did he? Course he did and no guff in it, neither.
Bowse looked delighted and proud at the behaviour of his brig, as he pointed out her good qualities to his passengers. "There's many a craft, which is looked upon as a clipper, won't behave as she does, that I'll answer for," he observed. He was going on with his panegyrics when his voice became silent, and his eye riveted ahead.
Our spirits returned with having something to do; and when the tackle was manned to bowse the anchor home, notwithstanding the desolation of the scene, we struck up "Cheerily ho!" in full chorus. This pleased the mate, who rubbed his hands and cried out "That's right, my boys; never say die!
Come, uncle, can you deny the correctness of my description? And I am sure Captain Bowse will agree with me." She laughed playfully at her attempts at a description of the scene surrounding them, and which she had purposely made as long as she could find words to go on with, well-knowing the effect which her own sweet voice exercised in calming the habitual irritation of her uncle.
Drest as though bold Robin Hood Would, with his maid Marian, Sup and bowse with horn and can. "I have heard that on a day Mine host's sign-board flew away, Nobody knew whither, till An Astrologer's old quill To a sheepskin gave the story, Said he saw you in your glory, Underneath a new-old sign Sipping beverage divine, And pledging with contented smack The Mermaid in the Zodiac.
Bowse and the G. Destroyer, and the first time their eyes had met across the table she had liked him. The liking had increased. There was that in his boyish cheer and his not-too-well-fed-looking face which called forth maternal interest. As she gradually learned what his life had been, she felt a thrilled anxiety to hear day by day how he was getting on.
Little Ann went to him and smiled her motherly smile at him. "You're very wet," she said. "You'll take a bad cold if you're not careful. Mrs. Bowse thinks you ought to go right to bed and have something hot to drink." "It seems a long time since I was in bed," he answered her. "I'm very tired. Thank you." He drew a weary, sighing breath, but he didn't move his eyes from the girl's face.
