At this moment the young fairy advanced from behind the tapestry, and said, speaking that all might hear,—,"I thought I did," says Geoffrey, waking slowly to a sense of the situation.,"Thanks," he whispered. Then, hospitality his first thought, he motioned towards a chair. Hinter sat down.,"So, I don't shoot partridge neither," said Billy. "I don't blame anybody else fer shootin' 'em, remember, but somehow, I'd rather leave 'em alive."，As he flung himself into this posture of taking aim, with some of the crew about the caboose cowering as do men who seek to dodge a missile, whilst Old Jim and the other stood in the foreground steadily staring at the enraged officer with the blood in his cheeks, Lucy Acton came on deck, and, standing with[Pg 338] her hand upon the companion-way, wild-eyed, and pale and dishevelled, with a mien of distraction which was a marvellously true copy of madness in momentary halt, watched the proceedings.，"Bought him!" exclaimed man and woman in a breath.，"Shut up!
