They remained on the Snow-Harrington for the night, but on the following morning sighted Le Naturaliste, and, after profusely thanking Captain Campbell for his generosity, soon picked her up. Hamelin, having no instructions as to where he should go, resolved to devote himself to work in Bass Strait.
"I'm learning the `Pied Piper of Hamelin'!" "You don't say so!" "Yes, I am. I'll say it to you now, from the beginning right to the very miggle!" "Thanks awfully. I should be delighted another time. Not to-day, I think, if you don't mind. I have rather a sore throat." Viva opened her eyes and stared at the Adam's apple which showed above the white necktie.
There too lay the French fleet, fifty sail of the line and twenty-one frigates and smaller vessels, with the flag of Admiral Hamelin flying on board the Ville-de-Paris, of 120 guns, and that of the second in command, Admiral Bruat, on board the Montebello, of the same force. What might not these fleets accomplish if only the Russians would dare to sail out from amid their stone walls and fight?
On the 11th of April Barras received a despatch by which Napoleon stated his intention of returning to France if the news brought by Hamelin was confirmed.

And if he had chosen to establish that 'dernier cri' of modern civilization where ladies go who have 'welt-schmerz' without knowing why, a sanitarium, he might have gained back again all the money he had lost in giving his Grantham stock to Eldon Parr. Like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, he could have emptied Dalton Street of its children.
It seemed awful that after promising the Piper those fifty thousand guilders, the Mayor should break his word; and it certainly was terrible, when the Piper found he had been duped, that he should again begin to pipe, and that the children yes, every one in Hamelin Town should follow him just as the rats had done, and that by and by he should lead them to the mountain-side, that it should open, and that, lo! after they had all passed in, it should close again, leaving only one little lame boy outside, weeping bitterly because he had not been able to walk fast enough to keep up with the merry crowd.
When the Three Bears reached home, there was Little Bear's bowl on the doorstep, and the Pied Piper's pipe was heard playing softly far away. After Father Bear told Little Bear the story of Hamelin town he was more glad than ever that he had kept his promise. So was his mother. So was his father.
There was an utmost sweetness of maternal persuasion in Cynthia Lennox's voice; Ellen was swayed by it as a child might have been swayed by the magic pipe of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. She half yielded to her leading motion, then she remembered. "No," she cried out, with a sob of utter desolation. "No, no." "Why not, dear?" "They don't want; they don't want. No, no!"
