"Billy Taylor was a smart young sailor, Full of life and full of glee, And he went a courting Molly Nailor, A maiden fair of high degree. "That maiden fair was my mother.
I ought to be enthusiastic about it, but I can't. Dinkie himself, however, who calls it his "new nailor nuit" not being yet able to manage the sibilants struts about in it proud as a peacock, and refuses to sit down in his supper-chair until Ikkie has carefully wiped off the seat of the same, to the end that the beloved nailor nuit might remain immaculate.
The captain very soon had an opportunity of fulfilling his word, for in a very short time the ship went into action, and his next in command being killed, he gave Miss Nailor the death vacancy, and then she became first-lieutenant of the gallant Thunder bomb. However, young gentlemen, I must put a stopper on my jaw-tackle just now.
"Billy Taylor watched the boat till she came alongside, and when the lady stepped on deck he kissed her lips and folded her in his arms. "Miss Nailor was standing by. The scene was too much for her. "`Oh, you foul traitor! she exclaimed, drawing her pistol just as the lady and the deceiver Billy were walking forward hand in hand. `Take that!
I told Dick Nailor that I would go forward and see what they wanted to show us. Even Dick hesitated. "They may mean well, but if they don't they will have us at terrible advantage all alone in the woods, and they are fearfully ugly fellows to look at, they must allow," he observed, coming up close to me, to protect me rather than to seek protection for himself.
Nailor drove Keith out to The Lawns that afternoon. In a little while Miss Huntington came in. Keith observed that she was dressed as she had been that evening at dinner, in white, but he did not dream that it was the result of thought.
Now the fire sent branches out from the burning wharf along the low frames where some of the season's miserable catch was drying in the open air after salting. The fish curled and blackened in the fierce heat. Only two men were not in the bucket brigade. They were Nailor and Thomas, who stood watching the destruction of their whole property.
'The Sacramento man was a euchre-player and a most profane sweerer. "You hold both Bowers," he said, "but the Joker is with me." "Fair an' softly," says Nailor. "Jock, whaur's Lang Lammitter?" "Here," says that man, putting his leg through the window and coming in like an anaconda o' the desert furlong by furlong, one foot in Penang and one in Batavia, and a hand in North Borneo it may be.
Wentworth looked annoyed. "Good," said Mrs. Lancaster, in an undertone. "Divine," said Keith, his eyes snapping with satisfaction. "It was not so bad as that," said Mrs. Nailor, her face very red. "Miss Huntington, you can take your hands down now; I sha'n't tell it." "Thank you," said Lois, and sat quietly back in her chair, with her face as placid as a child's. Mrs.
"You will hear about it soon enough," she said, with a bitter laugh. "All you have to do is to call on Mrs. Nailor or Mrs. Any-one-else for five minutes." "If I hear what I understand you to believe, that Norman cares for some one else, I shall not believe it." She laughed bitterly. "Oh, you and Norman always swore by each other. I guess that you are no better than other men."
