As will be surmised by the reader, not a syllable of the foregoing colloquy had been lost upon Reynolds; who heard, with unbounded astonishment, of his narrow escape from that dark valley whence none who enter again return, and that three days had elapsed since he had fallen into an unconscious state.
The trail got lonesome that last year I didn't suppose it would but it did. After three years of it I was glad to get back to my old friends, the Reynolds. I thought of you every day but I didn't listen to hear you sing, because I thought you were King's wife I didn't want to hear about you ever but that's all past now I am here and you are here.
It is certain that he tried to keep in the part by smoking cigarettes, but he hated them, and usually ended by throwing the cigarette away and lighting an old pipe he carried. On that Thursday evening he came home and sat down to supper with Mr. Reynolds. He ate little and seemed much excited. The talk ran on crime, as it always did when he was around, and Mr.
Reynolds did as directed and Hambone ducked for cover and the wagon stood stock still. No sooner was the First Sergeant's back turned than Reynolds threw the jar into the ditch. A minute or two elapsed and no explosion taking place, Hambone rejoined the wagon and the party proceeded.
At this spot the fields came close down to the road, and also to the water, and in the corner thus formed stood a very small poor cabin. This lake was Loch Sheen, and it was in that cabin that Ussher had apprehended Tim Reynolds and the two other men, little more than a fortnight ago.
"My have got chance," announced Tsang emphatically, "you bet how fashion my talkee you, your money come back." Reynolds studied the brass knocker of a face, but found no clue to the riddle. "What you mean, Tsang?" he asked. "What do you know? For the Lord's sake don't fool with me about it!" "Me no fool," declared Tsang. "You le' me talkee number, him win big heap money." "But how do you know?"
Altogether, everyone voted it one of the most enjoyable social affairs of the year. Ray had danced her sixth waltz and at last utterly exhausted, unable to stand any more, she allowed Dick Reynolds to escort her to a sofa. "Please get me an ice, will you? That's a dear boy," she gasped. "Will I!" echoed the youth. "What wouldn't I do for you fire and water that's all!"
A competent critic pronounces that had it been executed in coloured glass, it would still have been unsatisfactory. As it is, the dull stains and enamels employed by Jarvis give it what Horace Walpole called 'a washed-out' effect. Reynolds has introduced into it likenesses both of himself and Jarvis, as shepherds worshipping.
At one time this would have annoyed him, but it affected him now in a far different manner, at which he was surprised. Glen and Reynolds, however, had not forgotten the silent man in the other room, and at times they glanced anxiously toward the door. They both felt that their happiness would soon end, and then would come the cruel separation.
Sir Joshua Reynolds told me, that Johnson called on him after his majesty's intention had been notified to him, and said he wished to consult his friends as to the propriety of his accepting this mark of the royal favour, after the definitions which he had given in his Dictionary of pension and pensioners.
