i am honored that she should entertain any opinion of me whatever
and now i must go back . helen went to her room to write some letters against a time when it may be possible to communicate with our friends and i took the opportunity to call on you . it might be as well mr . donovan not to mention my visit .

aunt pat is a famous sailor ! the last time we crossed the captain had personally to take her below during a hurricane .
helen always likes to make a heroine of me but i am not in the least afraid on the water . i think there must have been sailors among my ancestors .

let us not go too near shore anywhere
no we do n't care to meet people
i 'm afraid i do n't know any to introduce you to

that 's a real island over therethey call it battle orchardyou must have a glimpse of it .
oh nothing is so delightful as an island !
there is an isle beyond our ken haunted by dreams of weary men . gray hopes enshadow it with wings weary with burdens of old things there the insatiate watersprings rise with the tears of all who weep and deep within itdeep oh deep ! the furtive voice of sorrow sings . there evermore till time be o'er sad oh so sad ! the dreams of men drift through the isle beyond our ken .

shut off the power a moment . we will turn here ijima
oh i 'm disappointed not to cruise nearer the island with the romantic name and there 's a yacht over there too !

what a strangelooking man
he does n't look like a native

we have been found out my brother is here
i am afraid that is true but you must not distress yourself . this is not sicily where murder is a polite diversion . the italian wished merely to frighten us it 's a case of sheerest blackmail . i am ashamed to have given him the opportunity . it was my faultmy grievous fault and i am heartily sorry for my stupidity .
do not accuse yourself ! it was inevitable from the beginning that henry should find us . but this place seemed remote enough . i had really begun to feel quite securebut now !
but now !

i think we ought to go awayat once the place was illchosen father stoddard should have known better than to send us here !
father stoddard did the best he could for us helen . it is unfair to blame him and mr . donovan has been much more than kind in undertaking to care for us at all .
i have blundered badly enough !
it might be better aunt pat to yield . what can it matter ! a quarrel over moneyit is sordid

it shall be as you say miss pat
certainly aunt pat we ca n't be driven round the world . we may as well stay where we are .
if you have n't wholly lost faith in me miss holbrook
i have every faith in you mr . donovan !
i shall hope to take better care of you in the future .
i am not afraid . i think that if henry finds out that he can not frighten me it will have a calming effect upon him .
yes i suppose you are right aunt pat

miss holbrook !
oh it 's you mr . donovan is it ?
it most certainly is ! we seem to have similar tastes miss holbrook .
an interest in geography shall we call it ?
or astronomy ! we will assume that we are both looking for the little dipper .
good ! between the affairs of the holbrooks and your evening dipper hunt you are a busy man mr . donovan .
i am not half so busy as you are miss holbrook ! it must tax you severely to maintain both sides of the barricade at the same time
that does require some ingenuity but i am a very flexible character .
but what will bend will breakyou may carry the game too far .
oh are you tired of it already ?
not a bit of it but i should like to make this stipulation with you that as you and i seem to be pitted against each other in this little contest we shall fight it all out behind miss pat 's back . i prefer that she should n't know what a
oh give me a name wo n't you ?
what a beautiful deceiver you are !
splendid ! we will agree that i am a deceiver !
if it gives you pleasure ! you are welcome to all the joy you can get out of it !
please do n't be bitter ! let us play fair and not stoop to abuse .
i should think you would feel contrite enough after that ugly business of this afternoon . you did n't appear to be even annoyed by that italian 's effort to smash the launch .
you really think that was inspired by
by henry holbrook as you know well enough . and if miss pat should be murdered through his enmity do n't you see that your position in the matter would be difficult to explain ? murder my dear young woman is not looked upon complacently even in this remote corner of the world !
you seem given to the use of strong language mr . donovan . let us drop the calling of names and consider just where you put me .
i do n't put you at all you have taken your own stand . but i will say that i was surprised not to say pained to find that you played the eavesdropper the very hour you came to annandale .

oh to be sure ! you thought i was listening while aunt pat unfolded the dark history of the holbrooks .
i knew it though i tried to believe i was mistaken . but when i saw you there on tippecanoe creek meeting your father at the canoemaker 's house i was astounded i did not know that depravity could go so far .
my poor unhappy unfortunate father !
i suppose you defend your conduct on the ground of filial duty
why should n't i ? who are you to judge our affairs ? we are the unhappiest family that ever lived but i should like you to know that it was not by my wish that you were brought into our councils . there is more in all this than appears !
there is nothing in it but miss pather security her peace her happiness . i am pledged to her and the rest of you are nothing to me . but you may tell your father that i have been in rows before and that i propose to stand by the guns .
i shall deliver your message mr . donovan and i give you my father 's thanks for it
your father calls you rosalindbefore strangers !
yes . it 's a fancy of his sometimes it 's viola or perdita but as i think of it it 's oftener rosalind . i hope you do n't object mr . donovan ?
no i rather like it it 's in keeping with your variable character . you seem prone like rosalind to woodland wandering . i dare say the other people of the cast will appear in due season . so far i have seen only the fool .
the fool ? oh yes there was touchstone was n't there ?
i believe it is admitted that there was .
you are rather proud of your attainments are n't you ? i have really read the play mr . donovan i have even seen it acted .
i did not mean to reflect on your intelligence which is acute enough or on your attainments which are sufficient or on your experience of life which is ample !
well spoken ! i really believe that i am liking you better all the time mr . donovan .
my heart is swollen with gratitude . you heard my talk with your father at his cottage last night . and then you flew back to miss pat and played the hypocrite with the artlessness of rosalindthe real rosalind .
did i ? then i 'm as clever as i am wicked . you no doubt are as wise as you are good .

my father dealt very generously with you . you were an intruder . he was well within his rights in capturing you . and more than that you drew to our place some enemies of your own who may yet do us grave injury .
they were no enemies of mine ! did n't you hear me debating that matter with your father ? they were his enemies and they pounced on me by mistake . it 's not their fault that they did n't kill me !
that 's a likely story . that little creek is the quietest place in the world .
how do you know ?
because my father tells me so ! that was the reason he chose it .
he wanted a place to hide when the cities became too hot for him . i advise you miss holbrook in view of all that has happened and if you have any sense of decency left to keep away from there .
and i suggest to you mr . donovan that your devotion to my aunt does not require you to pursue my father . you do well to remember that a stranger thrusting himself into the affairs of a family he does not know puts himself in a very bad light .
i am not asking your admiration miss holbrook .

i might take the part myself if gillespie were not already cast for it .
gillespie ? to be sure there is gillespie .
there is certainly gillespie . perhaps you would liefer call him orlando ?
let me see ' o that 's a brave man ! he writes brave verses speaks brave words swears brave oaths and breaks them bravely quite traverse athwart the heart of his lover as a puisny tilter that spurs his horse but on one side breaks his staff like a noble goose but all 's brave that youth mounts and folly guides . '
that is celia 's speech but well rendered . let us consider that you are rosalind celia viola and ariel all in one . and i shall be those immortal villains of old tragedyfirst second and third murtherer or if it suit you better let me be iago for honesty othello for great adventures hamlet for gloom shylock for relentlessness and romeo for lovesickness .
'come woo me woo me for now i am in a holiday humour and like enough to consent . what would you say to me now an i were your very very rosalind ? '

'how if the kiss be denied ? '
the rehearsal has gone far enough . let us come back to earth again .

my dear mr . donovan you propose the impossible ! we are foes you must remember and i can not accept your escort .
but i have a guard about the house you are likely to get into trouble if you try to pass through . i must ask you to remember our pledge that you are not to vex miss pat unnecessarily in this affair . to rouse her in the night would only add to her alarm . she has had enough to worry her already . and i rather imagine that you do n't propose killing her with your own hands .
no do give me credit for that ! but i shall not disturb your guards and i shall not distress aunt pat by making a row in the garden trying to run your pickets . i want you to stay here five minutescount them honestlyuntil i have had time to get back in my own fashion . is it a bargain ?
