She turned to Farr. "He seems to have forgotten 'thank you' as he forgot 'please. May I make amends? We thank you!" "And now I am in your debt," said the rover. He bowed and walked on. When the car passed him the girl turned and gave him a long look. He waved his hand. The dust-cloud closed in between them. "Kat Kilgour! That's a tramp!
Thomas readily told all he knew, which was the simple statement that "he took his mistress to her aunt's and left her there, and that when he returned for her, Miss Kilgour was much distressed and said she had already left." Archie then immediately sought Miss Kilgour, and from her learned the particulars of his wife's wretchedness, especially those points relating to the appropriated letter.
Excuse me, Mother Kilgour, but I can't always control my nature; I've been in the game with the bunch for a long time and I'm naturally suspicious I have seen a good many chaps trimmed, and I don't propose to have anything put over on me." "You are insolent and cruel," she cried, her cheeks pale. "I don't mean you I believe you want to help me. But it's time to be up and doing.
First of all, he was astonished to find two women there; one was Miss Kilgour and the other was her mother. And there were the two men whom he had followed. Farr swept off his hat and addressed the girl. "I happened to be passing and heard your voice," he said.
"It would have been braver to stay and face it," blurted Farr. "But Andrew Kilgour had a code of his own a state of mind some of us could not understand the example of an ancestor. We are not all alike. Many cannot stay and face trouble. You might be able to do it you seem to have a level head!"
"Is there anything in that novel about ringing in an iceman to break up a marriage? I say it was all a conspiracy. You didn't intend to be square. You intended to rig a scheme so that you could duck out from under. You have always done that, Mrs. Kilgour." "I had nothing to do with that man coming in." "Don't try to fool me any more. You told me to come, didn't you?
And I am not able to bear my aunt's nag, nag, nag at me. I wish I was married. It isn't right of Andrew to leave me so much to myself. It will be his own fault if he loses me altogether. I am worn out with Aunt Kilgour, and my life is a fair weariness to me." "Andrew is getting everything brawly ready for you. I wish I could tell you what grand plans he has for your happiness.
But I know that rapscallion, Mr. Farr. I can't believe that Kate Kilgour will be caught by him." "He has a fine position, they tell me," said Farr, still gazing out of the window. "The Machine made old Peleg Johnstone state treasurer, and he doesn't know bonds from biscuit.
"I can only ask you implore you to tell me where he is." "I'd like to know, myself," he retorted, bluntly. "I'd give considerable to know. You needn't look at me as if you think I'm lying! Now you may as well be frank with me, Miss Kilgour. I'm going to be frank with you. I have always found you to be a young woman of prudence and caution.
Kilgour admitted him to her suite she clung to the door-casing, exhibiting much trepidation. He stepped in, closed the door, and put his back against it. "Have you got those hysterics out of you so that you can listen to me and then talk sense?" he demanded, coarsely.
