"We're going to be thoroughbreds about this, no matter how much it hurts." She sighed. "And you're only half Scotch, Donald." By noon of the following day, Port Agnew was astounded by news brought by the crew of one of the light draft launches used to tow log rafts down the river. Donald McKaye was working for Darrow.
"Ho, Launcelot!" she cried. "Tell us all the news that is a good child. Who was that awful person who ran down the man last night? I hear from Dr. Agnew that they had to patch the poor victim up a good deal at the hospital. Did you boys find the guilty party?" "I don't know that we did," said Darby. "You see, nobody seemed to see the license number of the automobile."
Daney wisely held, in contradiction to any number of people not quite so hard-headed as he, that absence does not tend to make the heart grow fonder particularly if sufficient hard work and worry can be supplied to prevent either party to the separation thinking too long or too intensely of the absentee. Within a decent period following Nan's hoped-for departure from Port Agnew, Mr.

"Oh!" said young Donald.
"Is it safe to come in where you are, Francis?" "Quite, Miss Ferris," said the voice. "They have got Stair and Mr. Wemyss cornered in the Bothy, but they are still holding out. Fergus and Agnew are away on the cliffs to the north, but they are too closely watched to venture a signal. So that is why I am here to meet you." With a long, even glide the boat's keel touched soft sand.
Agnew speaks of; you simply can't refuse to see it; and Miss Maybough is fascinating, if you feel her so.

Ludlow said, "Ah, that's very interesting."
"And hereafter you keep out of Port Agnew. Your kind are not welcome here." The Greek departed into the night cursing, while The Laird, still at the ticket-window, glanced interestedly from his son to the Greek and then back to Donald. "What's the idea, son?" he demanded. "A recent dweller on the Sawdust Pile," his son replied easily.
I warned them off, angrily. They persisted, and though none of them were armed, yet I saw that they were unwilling to have me leave the cave, and I supposed that they would try to prevent me by force. The absence of Agnew made my position a difficult one.
With his ability to think calmly, clearly, and unselfishly, he had long since realized that eventually his girls must marry; now Elizabeth was twenty-six and Jane twenty-eight, and Mrs. McKaye was beginning to be greatly concerned for their future. Since The Laird had built The Dreamerie in opposition to their wishes, they had spent less than six months in each year at Port Agnew.
Miss Ann Gardner Davidson, of this city, the breaking of whose engagement to Russell Agnew Brooks, son of George Agnew Brooks, the wealthy cotton broker, was the sensation of the early spring, is to marry Herbert Ainsworth-Ainsworth, Baron Hardacre, of Hardacre Towers, Surrey on Kent, England.
