Grey really possessed, that both sister-in-law and servant stood petrified, and offered no resistance, until Miss Gascoigne said, quivering with passion. "This can not go on. I will know at once my rights in this house, or quit it. Phillis, knock at the study-door and say I wish to speak to Dr. Grey that is, if Mrs. Grey, your mistress, will allow you." "Certainly," said Christian.
Mrs Oxbelly is a very large woman very large indeed." "Well, but now we must hold a council of war. Are we to run up the coast, or to shape our course direct for Palermo?" "Course direct, and we shall take nothing, that is certain," said Gascoigne. "If we take nothing we shall make no prize-money," continued Oxbelly. "If we make no prize-money the men will be discontented," said Easy.
"Why, as we've got possession, Ned, we had better put a man at the helm for the speronare is having it all her own way." "Very true," replied Gascoigne; "and as I can steer better than you, I suppose it must be me." Gascoigne went to the helm, brought the boat up to the wind, and then they resumed their conversation.
Those roofs, where houses are built next to each other, are divided by a wall of several feet, to insure that privacy which the Mahomedan customs demand. Gascoigne had not been long up there before he heard the voice of a female, singing a plaintive air in a low tone, on the other side of the wall.
Jack had gone on board, leaving fourteen of his men on board the galliot Gascoigne had done the same Mesty still remained on board his vessel; and they were congratulating themselves, and ordering the men on board to the windlass, when they heard the sound of oars. "Silence! what is that?" exclaimed Oxbelly. "The gun-boats or row-boats, as sure as I'm alive!"
The fire-engine was got on deck, sails wetted, and every exertion made to come up. But about four o'clock in the afternoon, when the frigate was eight or nine miles off, it fell calm, as Gascoigne had predicted, and the heads of all the vessels, as well as the frigate, were now round the compass. "There's out boats," said Mr Oxbelly; "they will have a long pull, and all for nothing."
Published in 1615 "Characters upon Essays, Moral and Divine" and in 1616 a set of Characters called "The Good and the Bad." He was of a good Essex family, second son of William Breton of Redcross Street, in the parish of St. Giles without Cripplegate. His mother took for second husband George Gascoigne the poet.
Excuse a plain, almost rude question, which you can refuse to answer if you like; but, Miss Bennett, I should be very glad to know if you are engaged?" "Engaged by Miss Gascoigne?" "No; engaged to be married." Miss Bennett drew back, blushed a little, looked much annoyed, and answered sharply, apparently involuntarily, "No!"
I will be responsible for you, and you may go home in the packet which sails on Wednesday for England." "Thank you, Sir Thomas, I am much obliged to you," replied Jack. "You, Mr Gascoigne, I shall, of course, send out by the first opportunity to rejoin your ship." "Thank you, Sir Thomas, I am much obliged to you," replied Gascoigne, making a bow.
Jack's health improved daily, much to Mr Pottyfar's satisfaction, who imagined that he took the universal medicine night and morning. Gascoigne also was a patient under the first lieutenant's hands, and often on shore with our hero, who thought no more of quitting the service.
