"What! was it not by your honours advice and counsel that Monkbarns and the Knight of Knockwinnock came here then?" "Aha yes; but it was by another circumstance. I did not know dat dey would have found de treasure, mine friend; though I did guess, by such a tintamarre, and cough, and sneeze, and groan, among de spirit one other night here, dat there might be treasure and bullion hereabout.
"That little Cardross girl is playing the devil with the callow hereabout," Wayward said; "Malcourt, house-broken, runs to heel with the rest. And when I see her I feel like joining the pack. Only I was never broken, you know " "She is a real beauty," said Miss Palliser warmly; "I don't see why you don't enlist, James." "I may at that. Garry, are you also involved?"
"God never made anything prettier 'an that bird, an' He must a-been mighty proud o' the job. Jest cast your eyes on it there! Ever see anything so runnin' over with dainty, pretty, coaxin' ways? Little red creatures, full o' hist'ry, too! Ever think o' that? Last year's bird, hatched hereabout, like as not.
I cannot at present give you any further particulars about the matter, than that I felt foolish enough, and gave as cautious a turn to it as I could, for which I am destined to suffer her future hostility. Last week I received a letter from T. Edwards, which I fear may prove fatal to the dear project of the 15th of April. He intends to be hereabout the middle of that month.
And while we were busied, hereabout, we were interrupted again; for there presented himself a savage, which caused an alarm. He very boldly came all alone, and along the houses, straight to the rendezvous; where we intercepted him, not suffering him to go in, as undoubtedly he would out of his boldness.
Johann Kopf proved to be a young German with a round, ruddy face, which was so innocent of guile as to be out of harmony with the shrewd, piercing black eyes looking out of it. The Englishman eyed him inquisitively, even suspiciously. "Are you a good hunter?" he asked. "There is none better hereabout," answered Johann, twirling his cap with noticeably white fingers.
"What is the dress called hereabout, that a man is buried in?" "His buryin' gown. 'Tis only a sperit, a ghost, that walks in a shroud. I'n told that oft enough, I should know." She spoke in a querulous tone, as one having reasonable cause for complaint. "Well," said Valentine, after a pause, "if the shroud was not white, what colour was it?"
And he sold silks and laces cheap to the people hereabout I could show you the very causeway they built across the marsh, to reach the place where he landed his boats at the heads of one of the great bays it is not far from the plantation of Monsieur Edouard Manning, below New Iberia.
Is he an intelligent man?" "Yes uncommonly shrewd, I believe. He says he can't have been followed. He knows several gardeners hereabout, and he seems to have called on each of them on his way in at the front of the garden and out at the back each time, after a few minutes' conversation. Gipps is rather a cunning old fellow."
"You are to run up this rag," cried Black Paul to Clip, the fellow in command; and so saying, he handed up the old Jolly Roger on the blade of an oar. "Our noble admiral fears that if you do not that you may be captured by some of these good vessels lying hereabout."
