After each party had related to the other its experience in rebellion, and commented on its unsatisfactory results, they touched upon the old topic how to get to Paris, where remittances from their friends were waiting for most of them. "Old Carboy is to have charge of us while the crowd are gone," said Sheffield, irreverently. "We can easily come it over him."
In my turn I also saw the hideous headlines. What would my father and mother at Fairport think; what would my old friends there think; and, what was of even greater importance, how would Joyce & Carboy act? What chance was there left me, after I had been arrested as an impostor, to become a stenographer in the law courts in time, a member of the bar?
Now then, will you do me a favor?" "Certainly, sir, anything you want." "I merely want you to keep what you have told me to yourself for the present." "Oh, that's easy unless somebuddy tries to git me into trouble." "I don't think that will happen if you keep your mouth shut." "Then I'll be as mum as an oyster," answered Cephas Carboy decidedly.
"She will be as well, in a day or two," said Mr. Woodcourt, with an observant smile, "as she ever will be. Have you heard of her good fortune?" "Most extraordinary!" said Miss Flite. "Every Saturday Kenge and Carboy place a paper of shillings in my hand. Always the same number. One for every day in the week. I think that the Lord Chancellor forwards them. Until the judgment I expect is given."
Guppy, "though one of those circumstances that do fall in the way of us professional men which I may call myself, for though not admitted, yet I have had a present of my articles made to me by Kenge and Carboy, on my mother's advancing from the principal of her little income the money for the stamp, which comes heavy that I have encountered the person who lived as servant with the lady who brought Miss Summerson up before Mr.
Carboy here for, if we are bound home?" "What is he here for? Because Mr. Stout is not here. I suppose they have changed places for a few weeks. The ship goes home next month." "Don't you cry! In a day or two, if not before night, we shall be back again in the harbor of Brest. I'm willing to bet all my bad marks against all yours, that we get ashore in less than forty-eight hours."
That's enough! Bless my hair brush!" cried Mr. Damon, holding up a protesting hand. "If you take that cork out, Tom Swift, you and I will cease to be friends!" "I wasn't going to open it," laughed the young inventor. "It has a worse odor and seems to choke you more in a big quantity than when there's only a little. I was just going to shake the carboy to let you realize how full it was."
With a blow of his fist the stalwart boatswain justified the traditions of himself, and Perth was knocked senseless in the bottom of the boat, while Phillips, with a bleeding face, yielded the day. The runaways in the gig were driven to the deck, as their companions had been, while Perth was handed up by the grim Peaks, put in his berth, and attended by Dr. Carboy.
I see a good deal of him, and in looking forward to my vacation, not the least pleasant feature of it was that everything connected with Joyce & Carboy and Mrs. Shaw's boarding-house would be left behind me.
Fluxion was going to Italy, it would be necessary for him formally to transfer his authority to Professor Carboy. On the whole, therefore, the prospect was rather pleasing than otherwise. Herman, and some of the others who were deeply concerned in coming events, advised all the fellows to behave well, and take the preaching kindly, so that the officers need not "smell a mice."
