Had my affection for him been less sincere, had I not been racked with sympathy, I had laughed over his notions of gentility. I resolved, however, that when I had reached London and seen Mr. Dix, Mr. Carvel's agent, he should be rewarded despite his scruples. And if he lost his ship, he should have one of my grandfather's.
And he carefully filled his pipe with choice leaf out of Mr. Carvel's inlaid box. "Be that as it may, I have done my best, as we must all do. Pardon me, sir, for speaking of myself. But I have brought up this lad from a child, Mr. Allen," said Mr. Carvel, his words coming slowly, as if each gave him pain, "and have striven to be an example to him in all things.
My dear, you wish to rescue him, to disguise him, send him south by way of Colonel Carvel's house at Glencoe. Then he will be killed. At least, he will have died for the South. First politics, and then war, and then more politics, in this our country. Your masterful politician obtains a regiment, and goes to war, sword in hand. He fights well, but he is still the politician.
They have been here to-day, Richard, and I promise you were good advocates." Then I knew that I was forgiven. And I could have thrown myself at Mr. Carvel's feet for happiness. "Has Colonel Washington spoken in my favour, sir?" "That he has. He is upon some urgent business for the North, I believe, which he delayed for your sake.
Fox learned that I had lost my fortune," I went on, "he offered me a position under Government." "Have you not friends enough at home to care for you, sir?" he said, his face getting purple. "Are you Jack Carvel's son, or are you an impostor?" "I am Jack Carvel's son, dear Captain Daniel, and that is why I am here," I replied.
"No, my dear sir, you will do nothing of the kind," said the colonel. "You would gain nothing by it for the lad, and lose much. Such rascals walk in water, and are not to be tracked. He cannot be approached save through Mr. Lionel Carvel himself, and that channel, for Mr. Carvel's sake, must be closed." "But he must be shown up!" cried the captain. "What good will you accomplish?" said Mr.
One was the piano. But she had overheard Shadrach telling old Nancy how Mrs. Brice had pleaded with him to move it, that he might have more room and air. He had been obdurate. And Colonel Carvel's name had never once passed his lips. Many a night the girl had lain awake listening to the steamboats as they toiled against the river's current, while horror held her.
For my grandfather was as stanch a royalist as ever held a cup to majesty's health. And children are most apt before they can reason for themselves to take the note from those of their elders who surround them. It is true that many of Mr. Carvel's guests were of the opposite persuasion from him: Mr. Chase and Mr. Carroll, Mr. Lloyd and Mr.
"No, my dear sir, you will do nothing of the kind," said the colonel. "You would gain nothing by it for the lad, and lose much. Such rascals walk in water, and are not to be tracked. He cannot be approached save through Mr. Lionel Carvel himself, and that channel, for Mr. Carvel's sake, must be closed." "But he must be shown up!" cried the captain. "What good will you accomplish?" said Mr.
"You may remember a night at my uncle's, Colonel Carvel's, on the occasion of my cousin's birthday?" "Yes," said Stephen, in surprise. "Well," blurted Clarence, boyishly, "I was rude to you in my uncle's house, and I have since been sorry." "He held out his hand, and Stephen took it warmly. "I was younger then, Mr. Colfax," he said, "and I didn't understand your point of view as well as I do now.
