"Certainly not, if you wish it." "Well, then, we are not going because we have no money to spend." "No money! Why, I gave Frank three dollars towards it no longer ago than yesterday, and he had some money before that," replied Captain Sedley, not a little alarmed at the revelation. CERTAINLY NOT IF YOU WISH IT WELL THEN WE ARE NOT GOING BECAUSE WE HAVE NO MONEY TO SPEND NO MONEY WHY I GAVE FRANK THREE DOLLARS TOWARDS IT NO LONGER AGO THAN YESTERDAY AND HE HAD SOME MONEY BEFORE THAT REPLIED CAPTAIN SEDLEY NOT A LITTLE ALARMED AT THE REVELATION
ation for the last fortnight, and Charles and Frank had both manifested the liveliest interest in it. And now that the whole scheme had been abandoned, the anticipated pleasure voluntarily resigned, was strange and incomprehensible. At first he was disposed to believe some more agreeable plan of spending the day had been devised, and it seemed questionable to him whether the plan which must be kept secret could meet his approbation. "It was Frank's notion, Mr. Sedley," added Charles. "And you have promised not to tell me?" "Oh, no, sir! I don't know that Frank would like it if I should do so, though I can't see what harm it would do." "Of course you must do as you think proper," replied Captain Sedley. "I don't wish you to betray Frank's confidence, unless you think he is doing wrong." "Nothing wrong, sir." "Then, why should it be kept secret?" "I do not know of any reason why it should be. You won't tell Frank if I let the cat out of the bag?" said Charles with a kind of forced laugh. XCURSION HAD BEEN THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION FOR THE LAST FORTNIGHT AND CHARLES AND FRANK HAD BOTH MANIFESTED THE LIVELIEST INTEREST IN IT AND NOW THAT THE WHOLE SCHEME HAD BEEN ABANDONED THE ANTICIPATED PLEASURE VOLUNTARILY RESIGNED WAS STRANGE AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE AT FIRST HE WAS DISPOSED TO BELIEVE SOME MORE AGREEABLE PLAN OF SPENDING THE DAY HAD BEEN DEVISED AND IT SEEMED QUESTIONABLE TO HIM WHETHER THE PLAN WHICH MUST BE KEPT SECRET COULD MEET HIS APPROBATION IT WAS FRANK'S NOTION MISTER SEDLEY ADDED CHARLES AND YOU HAVE PROMISED NOT TO TELL ME OH NO SIR I DON'T KNOW THAT FRANK WOULD LIKE IT IF I SHOULD DO SO THOUGH I CAN'T SEE WHAT HARM IT WOULD DO OF COURSE YOU MUST DO WHAT YOU THINK PROPER REPLIED CAPTAIN SEDLEY I DON'T WISH YOU TO BETRAY FRANK'S CONFIDENCE UNLESS YOU THINK HE IS DOING WRONG NOTHING WRONG SIR THEN WHY SHOULD IT BE KEPT SECRET I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE YOU WON'T TELL FRANK IF I LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG SAID CHARLES WITH A KIND OF FORCED LAUGH
