LuckyNiki India CHAPTER 25. Postscript. "Some of these days, madam," said the Admiral, "I trust you will favour me with a sample of the genius that terrified Mr Lawrence and led to your recovery, for which God be praised.",“Hurray!” called Bob, who was in the lead. “There she is.”,“Mar,” he demanded hastily, “more marshed turnips, please.”,"What one of all the animals is the smartest?" the Sun went on. "It is the raven, for he always finds food; he is never hungry. Which one of all the animals is the most to be reverenced? It is the buffalo; of all the animals I like him best. He is for the people; he is your food and your shelter. What part of his body is sacred? It is the tongue; that belongs to me. What else is sacred? Berries. They too are mine. Come with me now and see the world.","Found you," he echoed joyfully. "Found you as I have prayed through lightless days I might, some day, find you, blue-eyed girl with heart of gold; found you with your hope, your loyalty, your tenderness and your forgiveness."，"But you couldn't fondle a pig on your knees," says Mona, who is growing every minute more and more mixed.，“That’s the spirit,” said Whiskers. “As I said before, it is good work. The reward is not all in the pay you get. It is in the achievement and the service that you render. That is all that you can look forward to in the way of payment. But I have talked too long. You must be tired after your long trip. You’d better chase off to bed.”，"I want you to do something for my sake.""Is it very late?" says Mona, awaking from her happy dreams with a start.

"Who--who--told you?" stammered the young man, as pale as death.,"For one kiss this deed shall be yours," he whispers, "to do what you like with it.","How do you know that?" asked the inspector sharply.,“I—I think a bunch of Greasers are goin’ to raid the dam!”,"Let us hope he will," replied Lady Meg, and after shaking hands again with Jen, she took her departure.,The dinner was served this day at one o'clock. The humpbacked steward brought the dishes aft from the galley or caboose, as the little cooking place used to be called. The ship had only just come out of port, and she[Pg 263] had brought with her a stock of fresh provisions, meat, and vegetables, and the like, which would supply the cabin and the forecastle with fresh messes for some days. Mr Lawrence had also caused a couple of hen-coops to be filled with poultry.,He unclasped his hands and buried his purple face, and stood rocking and reeling as though he were about to fall in a fit, and sobbed twice or thrice with that dreadful note of grief in his dry-eyed agony, which makes the fearlessness of manhood in suffering one of the most pitiful, painful and pathetic of spectacles. Captain Acton laid his hand on the Admiral's shoulder.,“Jimmy.”,Some time for a husband to wait,"Lucy!" he said, speaking the word in the wooing voice of love.,"But at the same time I must ask you to remember you are speaking of my wife.",This long conversation had somewhat exhausted Jaggard, who was yet weak, so, telling him to cease from talking, Jen recalled the housemaid, and left the room to think over all that he had learned. The story of Jaggard convinced him more than ever that Dr. Etwald was the cause of all the terrible events which had occurred within the last few weeks. Without doubt it was he who had treacherously hidden Dido in the chamber of death.
