 With a heart of furious fancies,
    Whereof I am commander;
With a burning spear and a horse of air,
    To the wilderness1 I wander.
With a knight2 of ghosts and shadows
    I summoned am to tourney—
Ten leagues beyond the wide world’s end,
    Methinks it is no journey.
 
—Tom a’ Bedlam’s Song.
 
“Good-bye, Bess; I promised you fifty. Here’s a hundred—all that I got for my furniture from Beeton. That will keep you in pretty frocks for some time. You’ve been a good little girl, all things considered, but you’ve given me and Torpenhow a fair amount of trouble.”
 
“Give Mr. Torpenhow my love if you see him, won’t you?”
 
“Of course I will, dear. Now take me up the gang-plank and into the cabin. Once aboard the lugger and the maid is—and I am free, I mean.”
 
“Who’ll look after you on this ship?”
 
“The head-steward4, if there’s any use in money. The doctor when we come to Port Said, if I know anything of P. and O. doctors. After that, the Lord will provide, as He used to do.”
 
Bess found Dick his cabin in the wild turmoil5 of a ship full of leavetakers and weeping relatives. Then he kissed her, and laid himself down in his bunk6 until the decks should be clear. He who had taken so long to move about his own darkened rooms well understood the geography of a ship, and the necessity of seeing to his own comforts was as wine to him.
 
Before the screw began to thrash the ship along the Docks he had been introduced to the head-steward, had royally tipped him, secured a good place at table, opened out his baggage, and settled himself down with joy in the cabin. It was scarcely necessary to feel his way as he moved about, for he knew everything so well. Then God was very kind: a deep sleep of weariness came upon him just as he would have thought of Maisie, and he slept till the steamer had cleared the mouth of the Thames and was lifting to the pulse of the Channel.
