Early next morning there was a sound as of chains being drawnroughly overhead; the steady heart of the _Euphrosyne_ slowly ceasedto beat; and Helen, poking1 her nose above deck, saw a stationarycastle upon a stationary2 hill. They had dropped anchor in the mouthof the Tagus, and instead of cleaving3 new waves perpetually,the same waves kept returning and washing against the sides of the ship.
As soon as breakfast was done, Willoughby disappeared overthe vessel4's side, carrying a brown leather case, shouting overhis shoulder that every one was to mind and behave themselves,for he would be kept in Lisbon doing business until five o'clockthat afternoon.
At about that hour he reappeared, carrying his case, professinghimself tired, bothered, hungry, thirsty, cold, and in immediate5 needof his tea. Rubbing his hands, he told them the adventures of the day:
how he had come upon poor old Jackson combing his moustache beforethe glass in the office, little expecting his descent, had put himthrough such a morning's work as seldom came his way; then treated himto a lunch of champagne7 and ortolans; paid a call upon Mrs. Jackson,who was fatter than ever, poor woman, but asked kindly8 after Rachel--and O Lord, little Jackson had confessed to a confounded pieceof weakness--well, well, no harm was done, he supposed, but whatwas the use of his giving orders if they were promptly9 disobeyed?
He had said distinctly that he would take no passengers on this trip.
Here he began searching in his pockets and eventually discovered a card,which he planked down on the table before Rachel. On it she read,"Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dalloway, 23 Browne Street, Mayfair.""Mr. Richard Dalloway," continued Vinrace, "seems to be a gentlemanwho thinks that because he was once a member of Parliament,and his wife's the daughter of a peer, they can have what theylike for the asking. They got round poor little Jackson anyhow.
