At Goose Cove he turned five geese ashore; at Mercury Bay he did astronomical work. On the other hand, Capes North, South, East, and West, and Capes Brett, Saunders, Stephens, and Jackson, Rock's Point, and Black Head are neither quaint nor romantic names. Cascade Point and the Bay of Islands justify themselves, and Banks' Peninsula may be accepted for Sir Joseph's sake.
Saunders sighed. It was a wicked world into which her boy had to go to earn his living, evidently. "And now, mother, I really must be off. I'll stay at home to-morrow night and take my scolding like a man. Good-night."
"If you can't get quarters anywhere else, come on and help me hold the barn down." "Do you sleep in the barn? Then I'll come back sure. Tell you how it is, Mr. Saunders.
"I hope I'll see yeh once in a while, boys, to taik over old times." "Of course," said Saunders, whose voice trembled a little, too. "It ain't exactly like dyin'." "But we'd ought'r go home with you," said the younger man. "You never'll climb that ridge with all them things on yer back." "Oh, I'm all right! Don't worry about me. Every step takes me nearer home, yeh see. Well, goodbye, boys."
"I beg your pardon," said the one with gray hair Bob remembered that he had been called Fluss "is this the Saunders home place, I believe the natives call it?" He smiled at Betty, showing several gold teeth, and she shrank behind Bob and hid the album under her apron. "Yes," answered Bob civilly. "This is the Saunders farm."
I saw the Indian on foot making for some sage brush near by and sang out to a man named Saunders, who was on a fine grey horse, to run that Indian down, which he did, killing him the second shot, so he said afterwards. About this time I saw Jim coming, with six or eight men following him closely. Then we all commenced yelling at the top of our voices, which excited the Indians still more.
"To some concert, I believe. I did not press her with questions, Miss Saunders; I am a poor inquisitor." Click, click; the machine was working admirably. "Have you reason to think," I now demanded, "that she brought her unhappiness in with her, when she returned from that concert?"
"Not the best of men, I'm afraid," he said; "but even the worst of men are protected by the law, and the punishment which will fall to the murderer " "Or murderess," smiled the doctor. "Murderer," said Tarling shortly. "The punishment will not be affected by the character of the dead man." Dr. Saunders puffed steadily at his pipe.
Perry did not understand who the visitors were to be, but she thought such secrecy might be connected with her young mistress, and she had hidden herself earlier in the evening in the small room adjoining the library. "It is fortunate Saunders taught me how to use a revolver," she said, when Quarles thanked and complimented her. "A narrow escape, Wigan," the professor said to me.
There's naethin' Saunders disna think he could improve, excep' himsel' mibby. I canna be bathered wi' the chatterin', fykie, kyowowin' little wratch. He's aye throwin' oot suggestions an' hints aboot this and that. He's naething but a suggestion himsel', an' I'm shure I cud of'en throw him oot, wi' richt gude will.
