When Baxter left us, we could not but feel a little down-hearted, and Euphemia turned to her guide-book to see if his remarks were corroborated there.
Miss Jennie Baxter, with several final and dainty touches that put to rights her hat and dress a little pull here and a pat there regarded herself with some complacency in the large mirror that was set before her, as indeed she had every right to do, for she was an exceedingly pretty girl.
And you said yoursel' that he had pulled you out o' hell by the root." "It's himsel' that has flung me back again," Rob said, wildly. "Jean Baxter, what does it mean when a minister carries flowers in his pouch; ay, and takes them out to look at them ilka minute?" "How do you ken about the holly?" asked Jean, off her guard. "You limmer," said Dow, "you've been in his pouches."
It certainly takes all kinds of art to make an artist. And next week I got some shipwreck stuff for Baxter, and me with bronchial pneumonia right this minute, and hating tank stuff, anyway. Well, Countess, don't take any counterfeit money. So long." She danced through a doorway and was gone she was one who seldom descended to plain walking.
"Take her below!" roared Baxter angrily, as he turned to Mrs. Goss, who had followed Dora to the dock. "Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on her?" "She said she wished to speak to you," answered the woman. "I thought she wanted to make terms with you." Mrs. Goss caught Dora by the wrist and, assisted by Mumps, carried her below.
Then Shirley had to waste more time showing the Colonel about the latest self-photography attachment that she had recently bought. "I got tired always being left out of the group. And the other girls can't take pictures to suit me." "Is this the same idea that is used in photographing wild animals?" asked Colonel Baxter.
But as the rumours of war gathered strength the country at once became restless and dissatisfied. The power of Lewis, the renewed persecutions of the Huguenots, had increased the national hatred of the French. Protestants' hearts too trembled, as Baxter tells us, at the menacing armaments of the "Catholic King."
I'll stay with Cap'n Baxter till you're through, and then p'raps, if one of you'll take my place, I'll eat my supper and wash the dishes. You needn't come up now. I'll introduce myself." Some few minutes passed before Miss Preston came down.
In the evening an immense meeting assembled at Weissiger Hall, and, after an opening address by Mayor Baxter, the following resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That, in the death of Robert E. Lee, the American people, without regard to States or sections, or antecedents, or opinions, lose a great and good man, a distinguished and useful citizen, renowned not less in arms than in the arts of peace; and that the cause of public instruction and popular culture is deprived of a representative whose influence and example will be felt by the youth of our country for long ages after the passions in the midst of which he was engaged, but which he did not share, have passed into history, and the peace and fraternity of the American Republic are cemented and restored by the broadest and purest American sentiment."
"I've got some money on this schooner," he said. "I want to see if that's safe, or if you have stolen it." "We haven't touched any money," answered Dick, his face flushing. "It would be of no use to us on these islands." "You come with me while I take a look," said Lesher. Behind his back he waved his hand for Baxter to follow.
