Capt'n Davy's Honeymoon

by Sir Hall Caine

“Then you know the place, Capt’n,” said Lovibond.

Davy laughed noisily. “Ay, I know it,” he said.

“And the girl’s father, too, I suppose?” said Lovibond.

Davy laughed bitterly. “Ay, and the girl’s father too,” he said.

“And the girl herself perhaps?” said Lovibond.

Davy laughed almost fiercely, “Ay, and the girl herself,” he said.

Lovibond did not spare him. “Then,” said he, in an innocent way, “you must know her husband also.”

Davy laughed wildly. “I wouldn’t trust,” he said.

“He’s a brute—isn’t he?” said Lovibond.

“Ugh!” Davy’s laughter stopped very suddenly.
