Captain Littlestone, of H.B.M.'s sloop Nelson, had kindly consented to all these arrangements; he agreed to convey Ernest and Frank Becker and their cargo to the Cape, to aid them there with his experience, and, finally, to recommend them to some trustworthy correspondents he had at Liverpool. He likewise promised to bring back young Wolston with him on his return voyage.
"Do you suppose that Toby has learned embroidery in the same way that the parrot learned grammar?" "Oh, more astonishing things than that have happened! Mr. Wolston there will tell you that he has seen a wooden figure playing at chess; why, therefore, should the most sagacious of all the brutes not learn knitting?" "I fear, in speaking so highly of the dog," replied Mrs.
"It must be admitted," said Wolston, "that the sun and trees have their uses, especially when the one protects us from the other; the sun, for example, dries up the moisture that falls from the trees, and the trees shelter us from the burning rays of the sun. Still, I am at a loss myself to connect these things with a profession in a social point of view."
"Then, again," continued Wolston, "war cannot be waged by a single individual." "There must be an enemy somewhere," suggested Willis. "The difficulty does not, however, lie there," observed Jack; "for, if we have no enemies, it is easy enough to make them." "There must, at all events, be armies, magazines, and a treasury or eggs, as the great commander in question hinted."
IChe EDWARD Koning, Have given of my Forrest the kepen of the Hundred of Chelmer and Dancing. To RANDOLPH PEPERKING, And to his kindling. With Heorte and Hind, Doe and Bocke, Hare and Fox, Cat and Brock, Wild Fowle with his Flock; Patrich, Pheasant Hen, and Pheasant Cock, With green and wild Stub and Stock, To kepen and to yemen with all her might. Witness the Bishop of Wolston.
In the present instance, instead of running like Mrs. Becker, they had philosophically seated themselves on the trunk of a tree. At their feet was a diagram that Wolston had traced with the end of his stick; this was neither a tangent nor a triangle, as might have been expected, but a figure denoting how to carve one's way to a position, amidst the rugged defiles of life.
Wolston and Mary busied in a multiplicity of household occupations, to which their white hands and ringing voices gave elegance and grace Sophia tying a rose to the neck of a blue antelope which she had adopted as a companion Frank distributing food to the ostriches and large animals, and admit, if there is a paradise on earth, it was this spot.
"He has, without doubt, been on board some ship, wrecked on the coast," said Wolston, "for I recollect having read that his kindred are only found in Western Africa and the adjacent islands; do you not recognize him, Willis, to belong to the Nelson, like the plank of the other day?" "No, sir." "So much the better." "We do not ship such cattle on board his Majesty's ships," added the Pilot.
Wolston, is a very different thing: besides, you are an invalid and require attention, whilst I am strong and healthy, for which I ought to be thankful." "You are not in my house," replied Becker "any more than I am in yours; the place we are in is a shelter provided by Providence for us all, and I venture to suppose that such a host is rich enough to supply all our wants.
"Easily! no, Miss Wolston, not easily; you cannot admit that an objection urged by yourself is a matter of no moment, or one that can be slighted with impunity." "Ah! here we are at the end of our journey." "Already! the road has never appeared so short to me before." "What!" exclaimed Mrs. Wolston, coming up to her daughter, "you appear very merry."
