ashore   well´armed�察  �and   attended   by   his   boat's   crew   ��at   their   head   the 

faithful though ferocious William���察�and demanded to see the mayor�察�who 

came out of his office。 

     'Dost know the name of yon ship�察�mayor��' asked Boldheart fiercely。 

     'No��' said the mayor�察�rubbing his eyes�察�which he could scarce believe�察�

when he saw the goodly vessel riding at anchor。 

     'She is named ;The Beauty�察�' said the captain。 

     'Hah��'   exclaimed   the   mayor�察  �with   a   start。  'And   you�察  �then�察  �are   Capt。 

Boldheart��' 

     'The same。' 

     A pause ensued。        The mayor trembled。 

     'Now�察�mayor��' said the captain�察�'choose�             �Help me to my bride�察�or be 

bombarded。' 

     The   mayor   begged   for   two   hours'   grace�察  �in   which   to   make   inquiries 

respecting the young lady。          Boldheart accorded him but one�察�and during 

that one placed William Boozey sentry over him�察�with a drawn sword�察�and 

instructions to accompany him wherever he went�察�and to run him through 

the body if he showed a sign of playing false。 

     At   the   end   of   the   hour   the   mayor   re´appeared   more   dead   than   alive�察�

closely waited on by Boozey more alive than dead。 

     'Captain��'   said   the   mayor�察  �'I   have   ascertained   that   the   young   lady   is

going to bathe。       Even now she waits her turn for a machine。                The tide is 

low�察�though rising。        I�察�in one of our town´boats�察�shall not be  suspected。 

When   she   comes   forth   in   her   bathing´dress   into   the   shallow   water   from 

behind the hood of the machine�察�my boat shall intercept her and prevent 

her return。     Do you the rest。' 

     'Mayor��' returned Capt。 Boldheart�察�'thou hast saved thy town。' 

     The captain then signalled his boat to take him off�察�and�察�steering her 

himself�察�ordered her crew to row towards the bathing´ground�察�and there to 

rest   upon   their   oars。   All   happened   as   had   been   arranged。     His   lovely 

bride came   forth�察�the   mayor glided   in behind her�察�she   became   confused�察�

and   had   floated   out   of   her   depth�察  �when�察  �with   one   skilful   touch   of   the 

rudder     and   one    quivering     stroke   from    the   boat's   crew�察  �her   adoring 

Boldheart   held   her   in   his   strong   arms。   There   her   shrieks   of   terror   were 

changed to cries of joy。 

     Before 'The Beauty' could get under way�察�the hoisting of all the flags 

in the town and harbour�察�and the ringing of all the bells�察�announced to the 

brave Boldheart that he had nothing to fear。               He therefore determined to 

be married on the spot�察�and signalled for a clergyman and clerk�察�who came 

off    promptly     in  a  sailing´boat     named     'The   Skylark。'     Another      great 

entertainment was then given on board 'The Beauty��' in the midst of which 

the mayor was called out by a messenger。               He returned with the news that 

government        had    sent   down     to   know     whether     Capt。    Boldheart�察    �in 

acknowledgment of the great services he had done his country by being a 

pirate�察  �would   consent   to   be   made   a   lieutenant´colonel。      For   himself   he 

would have   spurned   the   worthless boon�察  �but  his   bride   wished   it�察 �and   he 

consented。 

     Only   one   thing   further   happened   before   the   good   ship   'Family'   was 

dismissed�察�with rich presents to all on board。              It is painful to record ��but 

such is human nature in some cousins�� that Capt。 Boldheart's unmannerly 

Cousin Tom was actually tied up to receive three dozen with a rope's end 

'for cheekiness and making game��' when Capt。 Boldheart's lady begged for 

him�察�and he was spared。 'The Beauty' then refitted�察�and the captain and his 

bride departed for the Indian Ocean to enjoy themselves for evermore。

         PART IV。 ´ ROMANCE FROM 

         THE PEN OF MISS NETTIE 

      ASHFORD ��Aged half´ past six。�� 



    THERE   is   a   country�察  �which   I   will   show   you   when   I   get   into   maps�察�

where the children have everything their own way。           It is a most delightful 

country to live in。    The grown´up people are obliged to obey the children�察�

and are never allowed to sit up to supper�察�except on their birthdays。           The 

children order them to make jam and jelly and marmalade�察�and tarts and 

pies and puddings�察�and all manner of pastry。         If they say they won't�察�they 

are put in the corner till they do。      They are sometimes allowed to have 

some�察�but when they have some�察�they generally have powders given them 

afterwards。 

    One of the inhabitants of this country�察�a truly sweet young creature of 

the name of Mrs。 Orange�察�had the misfortune to be sadly plagued by her 

numerous family。      Her parents required a great deal of looking after�察�and 

they   had   connections   and   companions   who   were   scarcely   ever   out   of 

mischief。    So   Mrs。   Orange   said   to   herself�察  �'I   really   cannot   be   troubled 

with these torments any longer�此�I must put them all to school。' 

    Mrs。 Orange took off her pinafore�察�and dressed herself very nicely�察�and 

took up her baby�察�and went out to call upon another lady of the name of 

Mrs。 Lemon�察�who kept a preparatory establishment。             Mrs。 Orange stood 

upon the scraper to pull at the bell�察�and give a ring´ ting´ting。 

    Mrs。 Lemon's neat little housemaid�察�pulling up her socks as she came 

along the passage�察�answered the ring´ting´ting。 

    'Good´morning��'      said  Mrs。   Orange。    'Fine   day。  How     do  you   do�拭�

Mrs。 Lemon at home��' 

    'Yes�察�ma'am。' 

    'Will you say Mrs。 Orange and baby��'

     'Yes�察�ma'am。      Walk in。' 

     Mrs。 Orange's baby was a very fine one�察�and real wax all over。 Mrs。 

Lemon's baby was leather and bran。             However�察�when Mrs。 Lemon came 

into   the   drawing´room      with   her   baby   in  her  arms�察  �Mrs。    Orange    said 

politely�察�'Good´morning。         Fine day。     How do you do�拭        �And how is little 

Tootleumboots��' 

     'Well�察�she is but poorly。      Cutting her teeth�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Lemon。 

     'O�察�indeed�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Orange。           'No fits�察�I hope��' 

     'No�察�ma'am。' 

     'How many teeth has she�察�ma'am��' 

     'Five�察�ma'am。' 

     'My Emilia�察�ma'am�察�has eight��' said Mrs。 Orange。              'Shall we lay them 

on the mantelpiece side by side�察�while we converse��' 

     'By all means�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Lemon。            'Hem��' 

     'The first question is�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Orange�察�'I don't bore you��' 

     'Not in the least�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Lemon。           'Far from it�察�I assure you。' 

     'Then     pray   HAVE      you��'   said   Mrs。    Orange�察    �  'HAVE      you    any 

vacancies��' 

     'Yes�察�ma'am。      How many might you require��' 

     'Why�察  �the   truth   is�察  �ma'am��'   said   Mrs。   Orange�察  �'I   have   come   to   the 

conclusion that my children��' ´ O�察�I forgot to say that they call the grown´ 

up    people    children   in   that  country�     �  'that  my   children    are   getting 

positively   too   much   for   me。   Let   me   see。    Two   parents�察  �two   intimate 

friends   of   theirs�察  �one   godfather�察  �two   godmothers�察  �and   an   aunt。  HAVE 

you as many as eight vacancies��' 

     'I have just eight�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Lemon。 

     'Most fortunate�      �Terms moderate�察�I think��' 

     'Very moderate�察�ma'am。' 

     'Diet good�察�I believe��' 

     'Excellent�察�ma'am。' 

     'Unlimited��' 

     'Unlimited。' 

     'Most satisfactory�      �Corporal punishment dispensed with��' 

     'Why�察  �we    do   occasionally   shake��'    said  Mrs。   Lemon�察    �'and  we   have

     'COULD        I�察 �ma'am��'     said   Mrs。    Orange�察     �  'COULD        I  see   the 

establishment��' 

     'With the greatest of pleasure�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Lemon。 

     Mrs。 Lemon took Mrs。 Orange into the schoolroom�察�where there were 

a number of pupils。         'Stand up�察�children��' said Mrs。 Lemon�察�and they all 

stood up。 

     Mrs。   Orange   whispered   to   Mrs。   Lemon�察  �'There   is   a   pale�察  �bald   child�察�

with red whiskers�察�in disgrace。         Might I ask what he has done��' 

     'Come here�察�White��' said Mrs。 Lemon�察�'and tell this lady what you have 

been doing。' 

     'Betting on horses��' said White sulkily。 

     'Are you sorry for it�察�you naughty child��' said Mrs。 Lemon。 

     'No��' said White。      'Sorry to lose�察�but shouldn't be sorry to win。' 

     'There's a vicious boy for you�察�ma'am��' said Mrs。 Lemon。                  'Go along 

with   you�察  �sir。  This   is   Brown�察  �Mrs。   Orange。     O�察  �a   sad   case�察  �Brown's� �

Never knows when he has had enough。               Greedy。      How is your gout�察�sir��' 

     'Bad��' said Brown。 

     'What else can you expect��' said Mrs。 Lemon。                'Your stomach is the 

size   of   two。  Go   and   take   exercise   directly。   Mrs。   Black�察  �come   here   to
