"'Don't bother me! interrupted the captain, beginning to get impatient. "'But, cap'in, urged the man, 'you can't bluff me off this 'ere way. You told me last night that you wanted officers; you know I met you on the stairs, and you promised, honor bright. "'Eh! ejaculated the captain, in surprise,'my good man, allow me to know what I'm about, will you? Will you allow me to know myself?
"Nick go" said the Indian, calmly "Used to carry message carry him for cap'in, once more." "Well, Nick, you may do it certainly, if so disposed," answered Joyce, who would have accepted the services of a Chinese rather than undertake the office in person. "You will remember and speak to the ladies gently, and not break the news too suddenly."
I remember when you had the smallpox, yourself." The Indian turned, with the quickness of lightning, to Mrs. Willoughby, whom he startled with his energy, as he demanded "You remember dat, Mrs. cap'in! Who gib him who cure him um?" "Upon my word, Nick, you almost frighten me. I fear I gave you the disease, but it was for your own good it was done.
"H'I don't mind tell' y', lad, that we was 'eaded for this point way back some'ers in the late nineties," said the engineer, "but there come a Nor'wester, an' the cap'in, 'e lost 'is 'ead and turned to run. We'd froze in for the winter, but we'd a seen things if we 'ad. We'd a seen 'um." They were struggling over some pressure ridges and neither had breath to spare for further talk just then.
"Yes, sir," they answered and hastened up the broad stairway, following Violet and the two little ones. "Dere's a gemman in de parlour a-waitin' for to see you, cap'in," said a servant, coming leisurely in from the back veranda. "Ah! has he been here long?" "'Bout ten minutes, I reckon, sah." The captain hastened into the parlour and found Chester Dinsmore there.
Perceiving that a clot of blood had collected at the junction with the handle, it was carefully removed by the use of water. His look next passed over his whole person, in order to ascertain if any more of these betrayers of his fearful secret remained; after which he seemed more at ease. "Wyandotté's back don't ache now," he growled to himself. "Ole sore heal up. Why Cap'in touch him?
Cap'in got good fort, too. Old soldier love fort; like to live in him." "The day may come, Nick, when that fort may serve us all a good turn, out here in the wilderness," Mrs. Willoughby observed, in a somewhat melancholy tone; for her tender thoughts naturally turned towards her youthful and innocent daughters.
Ask your master, first, for leave, and then go up to Willow Cove, and carry my blessin' to Kitty and her children. It's easy done, if a man sets about it in the right spirit. All you have to do is to go up to the Cove, and say that I prayed to God to bless 'em all, before I died. Do you think you can remember that?" "I try, Cap'in Marble, sah yes, sah, I try all I can, dough I'm no scholar."
"And so neither of you drank?" put in the captain, by way of a reminder. "For that same r'ason, and one betther still, as we had nothin' to dhrink. Well, says Nick 'Mike, says he 'you like cap'in, and Missus, and Miss Beuly, and Miss Maud, and the babby? Divil burn ye, Nick, says I, 'why do ye ask so foolish a question? Is it likes ye would know?
The men-servants had followed their master into the library and stood listening to the colloquy in open-mouthed astonishment. "How dey git locked up in dar, cap'in?" asked one. "Miss Lulu slammed the door to on them and locked and bolted it," he replied, his eyes shining at thought of the unselfish bravery of his child.
