The English officer looked upon her with mingled feelings of admiration for her strange beauty, with contempt for her treachery, and with a thought that she might be made perhaps the subject of his pleasure by a little management by and by. THE ENGLISH OFFICER LOOKED UPON HER WITH MINGLED FEELINGS OF ADMIRATION FOR HER STRANGE BEAUTY WITH CONTEMPT FOR HER TREACHERY AND WITH A THOUGHT THAT SHE MIGHT BE MADE PERHAPS THE SUBJECT OF HIS PLEASURE BY A LITTLE MANAGEMENT BY AND BY
ions and services were all rendered under that guise and aspect which rendered them to her most repulsive. Captain Bramble took good care that his prisoner and rival should have no degree of intercourse with her whom he knew very well Captain Ratlin loved. Under pretence that he feared his prisoner would attempt to escape, he kept him under close guard, and did not permit him once upon deck during the entire trip from the factory of Don Leonardo to the harbor of Sierra Leone. This chafed the young commander's spirit somewhat, but yet he was of too true a spirit to sink under oppression; he was brave and cheerful always. Of course, Miss Huntington saw and understood all this, and the more heartily despised the English officer for the part he played in the unmanly business. Maud kept by herself. She felt miserable, and as is often the case, realized that the success of her treachery, thus far, which, in her anticipation, had promised so much, had but still more deeply shadowed her heart.  HUNTINGTON BUT HIS ATTENTIONS AND SERVICES WERE ALL RENDERED UNDER THAT GUISE AND ASPECT WHICH RENDERED THEM TO HER MOST REPULSIVE CAPTAIN BRAMBLE TOOK GOOD CARE OF HIS PRISONER AND RIVAL AND SHOULD HAVE NO DEGREE OF INTERCOURSE WITH HER WHOM HE KNEW VERY WELL CAPTAIN RATLIN LOVED UNDER PRETENCE THAT HE FEARED HIS PRISONER WOULD ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE HE KEPT HIM UNDER CLOSE GUARD AND DID NOT PERMIT HIM UPON DECK DURING THE ENTIRE TRIP FROM THE FACTORY OF DON LEONARDO TO THE HARBOR OF SIERRA LEONE THIS CHAFED THE YOUNG COMMANDER'S SPIRIT SOMEWHAT BUT YET HE WAS TOO TRUE A SPIRIT TO SINK UNDER OPPRESSION HE WAS BRAVE AND CHEERFUL ALWAYS OF COURSE MISS HUNTINGTON SAW AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THIS AND THE MORE HEARTILY DESPISED THE ENGLISH OFFICER FOR THE PART HE PLAYED IN THE UNMANLY BUSINESS MAUD KEPT BY HERSELF SHE FELT MISERABLE AND AS IS OFTEN THE CASE REALIZED THAT THE SUCCESS OF HER TREACHERY THUS FAR WHICH IN HER ANTICIPATION HAD PROMISED SO MUCH HAD BUT STILL MORE DEEPLY SHADOWED HER HEART
