Now he dropped his towel, caught up his mother and raced with her around the room. He was so strong that she was almost helpless in his grasp.,He was already several paces away, anxious to overtake the wagon. Billy stood looking after him, a frown on his brow. "Gibson's Grove," he repeated. "So that's where Gibson's Grove is!" Then the message which the strangers had sent by old Harry might have had some significance, after all.,"Comin', Ma," responded Anse, sleepily.,Groans of relief sounded from the side of the room whence the voice had come, and there was a general giggle.，"When I think, sir," he exclaimed, as they[Pg 405] breakfasted, "what a few syllables of applause signify in the mouth of such a man as the hero of the Nile, I feel as if I could spring overboard and drown myself when I reflect that my unhappy son quitted the glorious Service under ignoble circumstances, and that by remaining he might have come under the command of Nelson, and gained the splendid renown which scarce a sea officer who has served under that great man but has won."，The little pathetic insinuation is as perfect as it is touching.，"I am sure I should not," says Rodney."Well, sir, the smell made me sleepy; and though I heard a noise behind me I could not turn my head.
