"In the name of the devil, splash!" cried Robin, suiting the action to the word, striking the water with both broad blades, while his men snatched oars and did the same. A whirl of flashing water filled the cave, as if with a tempest, soaked poor Carroway, and drenched his sword, and deluged the priming of the hostile guns.
But in spite of all these indications, Robin Lyth stuck to himself, which is the right way to get credit for sticking. "Johnny, my dear," said Deborah Popplewell to her valued husband, just about the time when bold Carroway was getting hot and sore upon the Filey Road, yet steadily enlarging all the penance of return, "things ought to be coming to a point, I think.
For this man is an outlaw felon, and not entitled to any grace of law; but I must obey my orders." "Certainly you must, Lieutenant Carroway, even though you are better acquainted with the law. You are ready to be sworn? Take this book, and follow me."
The farmer nodded; and his looks declared that to some extent he felt it. He had got the worst side of some bargains that week; but his wife had another way of thinking. "Why, Captain Carroway, whatever could be purer? When you were at sea, had you ever a man of the downright principles of Nelson?"
Therefore we must do one thing of two let Carroway catch him, and get the money to pay for all the breeches and the petticoats we saw; or if we catch him ourselves, say nothing, but draft him right off to the Harpy. You understand me. It is below us to get blood-money upon the man. We are gentlemen, not thief-catchers." The Irishman agreed to this at once, but Bowler was not well pleased with it.
Under such circumstances, they will settle, in three days, which is to be the master which I take to be the most important of all marriage settlements. And, unless I am very much mistaken, it will be the right one the lady. My little heroine, Jerry Carroway, is engaged as their factotum, and every auspice is favorable.
"They do indeed, sir; or at least your face does; though I know how quick and just you are. He is a bad man too well I know it but, as my dear husband used to say, he has a large lot of children." "Well, Mrs. Carroway, I admire you the more, for considering what he has not considered. Let us put aside that. The question is guilty or not guilty?
You could never hurt him now; and you can tell your father that you have done your duty to the king." "Well, Captain Carroway, if you are quite sure that it is too late to catch him, I can tell you all about him. But remember your word about the fifty guineas." "Every farthing, every farthing, Mary, whatever my wife may say to it. Quick! quick! Which way did he run, my dear?"
Cadman, Ellis, and Dick Hackerbody, sit down and be thankful." "But surely, Captain Carroway, you would never be happy to sit down without them. Look at their small-clothes, the dust and the dirt! And their mouths show what you might make of them." "Yes, madam, yes; the very worst of them is that. They are always looking out, here, there, and every where, for victuals everlasting.
Being all in a flurry, they kept no look-out; if the moon was against me, my good stars were in my favor. Nobody saw me, and I laughed in my wet sleeves as I thought of the rage of Carroway, little knowing that the fine old fellow was beyond all rage or pain." "How wonderful your luck was, and your courage too!" cried Mary, who had listened with bright tears upon her cheeks.
