Thinking
,
as
she
had
thought
with
great
trepidation
more
than
once
before
,
that
the
men
whom
she
had
seen
with
her
grandfather
might
,
perhaps
,
in
their
eagerness
for
the
booty
,
follow
them
,
and
regaining
their
influence
over
him
,
set
hers
at
nought
;
and
that
if
they
went
with
these
men
,
all
traces
of
them
must
surely
be
lost
at
that
spot
;
determined
to
accept
the
offer
.
The
boat
came
close
to
the
bank
again
,
and
before
she
had
had
any
more
time
for
consideration
,
she
and
her
grandfather
were
on
board
,
and
gliding
smoothly
down
the
canal
.
The
sun
shone
pleasantly
on
the
bright
water
,
which
was
sometimes
shaded
by
trees
,
and
sometimes
open
to
a
wide
extent
of
country
,
intersected
by
running
streams
,
and
rich
with
wooded
hills
,
cultivated
land
,
and
sheltered
farms
.
Now
and
then
,
a
village
with
its
modest
spire
,
thatched
roofs
,
and
gable
-
ends
,
would
peep
out
from
among
the
trees
;
and
,
more
than
once
,
a
distant
town
,
with
great
church
towers
looming
through
its
smoke
,
and
high
factories
or
workshops
rising
above
the
mass
of
houses
,
would
come
in
view
,
and
,
by
the
length
of
time
it
lingered
in
the
distance
,
show
them
how
slowly
they
travelled
.
Their
way
lay
,
for
the
most
part
,
through
the
low
grounds
,
and
open
plains
;
and
except
these
distant
places
,
and
occasionally
some
men
working
in
the
fields
,
or
lounging
on
the
bridges
under
which
they
passed
,
to
see
them
creep
along
,
nothing
encroached
on
their
monotonous
and
secluded
track
.
Nell
was
rather
disheartened
,
when
they
stopped
at
a
kind
of
wharf
late
in
the
afternoon
,
to
learn
from
one
of
the
men
that
they
would
not
reach
their
place
of
destination
until
next
day
,
and
that
,
if
she
had
no
provision
with
her
,
she
had
better
buy
it
there
.
She
had
but
a
few
pence
,
having
already
bargained
with
them
for
some
bread
,
but
even
of
these
it
was
necessary
to
be
very
careful
,
as
they
were
on
their
way
to
an
utterly
strange
place
,
with
no
resource
whatever
.
A
small
loaf
and
a
morsel
of
cheese
,
therefore
,
were
all
she
could
afford
,
and
with
these
she
took
her
place
in
the
boat
again
,
and
,
after
half
an
hour
’
s
delay
during
which
the
men
were
drinking
at
the
public
-
house
,
proceeded
on
the
journey
.
They
brought
some
beer
and
spirits
into
the
boat
with
them
,
and
what
with
drinking
freely
before
,
and
again
now
,
were
soon
in
a
fair
way
of
being
quarrelsome
and
intoxicated
.
Avoiding
the
small
cabin
,
therefore
,
which
was
very
dark
and
filthy
,
and
to
which
they
often
invited
both
her
and
her
grandfather
,
Nell
sat
in
the
open
air
with
the
old
man
by
her
side
:
listening
to
their
boisterous
hosts
with
a
palpitating
heart
,
and
almost
wishing
herself
safe
on
shore
again
though
she
should
have
to
walk
all
night
.
They
were
,
in
truth
,
very
rugged
,
noisy
fellows
,
and
quite
brutal
among
themselves
,
though
civil
enough
to
their
two
passengers
.
Thus
,
when
a
quarrel
arose
between
the
man
who
was
steering
and
his
friend
in
the
cabin
,
upon
the
question
who
had
first
suggested
the
propriety
of
offering
Nell
some
beer
,
and
when
the
quarrel
led
to
a
scuffle
in
which
they
beat
each
other
fearfully
,
to
her
inexpressible
terror
,
neither
visited
his
displeasure
upon
her
,
but
each
contented
himself
with
venting
it
on
his
adversary
,
on
whom
,
in
addition
to
blows
,
he
bestowed
a
variety
of
compliments
,
which
,
happily
for
the
child
,
were
conveyed
in
terms
,
to
her
quite
unintelligible
.
The
difference
was
finally
adjusted
,
by
the
man
who
had
come
out
of
the
cabin
knocking
the
other
into
it
head
first
,
and
taking
the
helm
into
his
own
hands
,
without
evincing
the
least
discomposure
himself
,
or
causing
any
in
his
friend
,
who
,
being
of
a
tolerably
strong
constitution
and
perfectly
inured
to
such
trifles
,
went
to
sleep
as
he
was
,
with
his
heels
upwards
,
and
in
a
couple
of
minutes
or
so
was
snoring
comfortably
.
By
this
time
it
was
night
again
,
and
though
the
child
felt
cold
,
being
but
poorly
clad
,
her
anxious
thoughts
were
far
removed
from
her
own
suffering
or
uneasiness
,
and
busily
engaged
in
endeavouring
to
devise
some
scheme
for
their
joint
subsistence
.
The
same
spirit
which
had
supported
her
on
the
previous
night
,
upheld
and
sustained
her
now
.
Her
grandfather
lay
sleeping
safely
at
her
side
,
and
the
crime
to
which
his
madness
urged
him
,
was
not
committed
.
That
was
her
comfort
.
How
every
circumstance
of
her
short
,
eventful
life
,
came
thronging
into
her
mind
,
as
they
travelled
on
!
Slight
incidents
,
never
thought
of
or
remembered
until
now
;
faces
,
seen
once
and
ever
since
forgotten
;
words
scarcely
heeded
at
the
time
;
scenes
,
of
a
year
ago
and
those
of
yesterday
,
mixing
up
and
linking
themselves
together
;
familiar
places
shaping
themselves
out
in
the
darkness
from
things
which
,
when
approached
,
were
,
of
all
others
,
the
most
remote
and
most
unlike
them
;
sometimes
,
a
strange
confusion
in
her
mind
relative
to
the
occasion
of
her
being
there
,
and
the
place
to
which
she
was
going
,
and
the
people
she
was
with
;
and
imagination
suggesting
remarks
and
questions
which
sounded
so
plainly
in
her
ears
,
that
she
would
start
,
and
turn
,
and
be
almost
tempted
to
reply
;
—
all
the
fancies
and
contradictions
common
in
watching
and
excitement
and
restless
change
of
place
,
beset
the
child
.
She
happened
,
while
she
was
thus
engaged
,
to
encounter
the
face
of
the
man
on
deck
,
in
whom
the
sentimental
stage
of
drunkenness
had
now
succeeded
to
the
boisterous
,
and
who
,
taking
from
his
mouth
a
short
pipe
,
quilted
over
with
string
for
its
longer
preservation
,
requested
that
she
would
oblige
him
with
a
song
.
‘
You
’
ve
got
a
very
pretty
voice
,
a
very
soft
eye
,
and
a
very
strong
memory
,
’
said
this
gentleman
;
‘
the
voice
and
eye
I
’
ve
got
evidence
for
,
and
the
memory
’
s
an
opinion
of
my
own
.
And
I
’
m
never
wrong
.
Let
me
hear
a
song
this
minute
.
’
