“Now one other,” said Ida; “I know you have lots of pretty
tales in that old portfolio.”
“‘Will you indeed?’ cried a harsh voice quite close to his ear,
and he found himself in the dread presence of King
Cockeroo, a very large yellow Cochin China. ‘Will you
indeed?’ repeated his majesty. ‘How dare you attempt to
eat a whole potato. Put it down at once and leave the yard.’
“‘I think,’ said the farmer of Buttercup Hill one day to his
wife—‘I think we’d better have t’ould cock for our Sunday’s
dinner.’
“‘Maybe, my dear,’ said the farmer, ‘but fine and fat, and
plenty of him, at any rate.’
“Poor Cockeroo, what a fall was his! And oh! the sad irony
of fate, for on the very morning of this deposed monarch’s
execution, the sun was shining, the birds singing, the corn
springing up and looking so green and bonny; and probably
the last thing he heard in life was King John crowing, as he
proudly perched himself on the edge of his water-tub
throne. One could almost afford to drop a tear of pity for
the dead King Cockeroo, were it possible to forget that,
while in life and in power, he had been both a bully and a
coward.
“He spent much of his time now on his old throne; for it was
always well filled with water, which served the purpose of a
looking-glass, and reflected his gay and sprightly person,
his rosy comb, and his nodding plumes. He would
sometimes invite a favourite fowl to share the honours of
his throne with him, but I really believe it was merely that
its plainer reflection might make his own beautiful image
the more apparent.
“‘Oh!’ he would cry, ‘don’t I look lovely, and don’t you look
dowdy beside me? Kurr! Kurr-r-r! Am I not perfection
itself?’
“And now my little tale draws speedily to its dark, but not, I
trust, uninstructive close.
“‘Who is afraid?’ said the proud King John, stepping out into
the midst of it. ‘Behold my throne; it shall never be moved.’
“He suited the action to the word, but, alas! the sun never
shone again for him. His additional weight completed the
mischief, and the tottering throne gave way with a crash.
“There was woe in the farmyard that day, for under the
ruins of his throne lay the lifeless body of Jock—the once
proud, the once mighty King John.”
“Oh!” cried Ida, “but that is too short. Pray, just one little
one more, then I will sleep. You shall play me to sleep. Let
it be about a dog,” she continued. “You can always tell a
story about a dog.”
I looked once more into the old portfolio, and found this—
Sindbad; or, The Dog of Penellan.
“Unless you go far, very far north indeed, you will hardly
find a more primitive place than the little village of Penellan,
which nestles quite close to the sea on the southern coast
of Cornwall. I say it nestles, and so it does, and nice and
cosy it looks down there, in a kind of glen, with green hills
rising on either side of it, with its pebbly beach and the
ever-sounding sea in front of it.
“Now, not only Widow Webber herself, but the whole village,
were on tiptoe to find out who the two strangers were and
what could possibly be their reason for coming to such a
little outlying place—fifteen miles, mind you, from the
nearest railway town. It appeared they were not likely soon
to be satisfied, for the human stranger—the other was his
beautiful Newfoundland retriever, ‘Sindbad’—simply took the
widow’s best room for three months, and in less than a
week he seemed to have settled down as entirely in the
place, as though he had been born there, and had never
been out of it. The most curious part of the business was
that he never told his name, and he never even received a
letter or a visitor. He walked about much out of doors, and
over the hills, and he hired a boat by the month, and used
to go long cruises among the rocks, at times not returning
until sun was set, and the bright stars twinkling in the sky.
He sketched a great deal, too—made pictures, the pilchard
fishermen called it. Was he an artist? Perhaps.
“The ‘gentleman,’ as he was always called, had a kind word
and a pleasant smile, for every one, and his dog Sindbad
was a universal favourite with the village children. How they
laughed to see him go splashing into the water! And the
wilder the sea, and the bigger the waves, the more the dog
seemed to enjoy the fun.
“But when the summer wore away, and winter came round,
and those policemen, whom they fully expected to one day
take the gentleman away, never came, and when the
gentleman seemed more a fixture than ever, they began to
soften down, and to treat him as quite one of themselves.
Sindbad had been one of them for a very long time, ever
since he had pulled the baker’s little Polly out of the sea
when she fell over a rock, and would assuredly have been
drowned except for the gallant dog’s timely aid.
“But the stranger only laid down his book with a quiet smile,
and asked the widow to take a seat near the fire, and he
would tell her all about it.
“With honest Sindbad asleep on the hearthrug, and pussy
singing beside him, and the kettle singing too, and a bright
fire in the grate, the room looked quite cosy and snug-like.
So the poor widow sat down, and the stranger unfolded all
his plans.
“And it all fell out just as the stranger wished it. He was an
accomplished pianist, and also a good performer on the
violin. And he had good-humour and tact, and the way he
kept his class together, and drew them out, and made them
all feel contented with their efforts and happy, was perfectly
wonderful. The first concert was a grand success, a crowded
house, though the front seats were only sixpence and the
back twopence. And all the proceeds were handed over to
the clergyman to buy books and magazines.
“So the winter passed more quickly and cheerfully than any
one ever remembered a winter to pass before, and summer
came once more.
“The Easter moon was full, and even on the wane, for it did
not, at the time I refer to, rise till late in the evening. A gale
had been blowing all day, the sea was mountains high, for
the wind roared wildly from off the broad Atlantic. One
hundred years ago, if the truth must be told, the villagers of
Penellan would have welcomed such a gale; it might bring
them wealth. They had been wreckers.
“Every one was about retiring for rest, when boom boom!
from out of the darkness seaward came the roar of a
minute gun. Some great ship was on the rocks not far off.
Boom! and no assistance could be given. There was no
rocket, no lifeboat, and no ordinary boat could live in that
sea. Boom! Everybody was down on the beach, and ere
long the great red moon rose and showed, as had been
expected, the dark hull of a ship fast on the rocks, with her
masts gone by the board, and the sea making a clean
breach over her. The villagers were brave; they attempted
to launch a boat. It was staved, and dashed back on the
beach.
“The mariners on board saw the fire lighted there, and they
saw that preparations of some kind were being made to
save them, and at last they discerned some dark object
rising and falling on the waves, but steadily approaching
them. It was Sindbad; the piece of wood he bore in his
mouth had attached to it a thin line.
“For a long time—it seemed ages to those poor sailors—the
dog struggled on and on towards them. And now he is
alongside.
“And older folk will point you out ‘the gentleman’s grave’ in
the old churchyard. He did not very long survive Sindbad.
“‘Ay, sir! there he do lie, and the sod never hid a warmer
heart than his. The lifeboat, sir? Yes, sir, it’s down yonder;
his money bought it. There is more than me, sir, has shed a
tear over him. You see, we weren’t charitable to him at first.
Ah, sir! what a blessed thing charity do be!’”
Chapter Thirty Three.
And, truth to tell, that is really all Ida and myself did do;
but we knew we were in good hands, and a better caterer
for comfort on a journey, or a better baggage-master than
Frank never lived.
