Elspeth, when she heard that the good Earl Hamish had been so cruelly slain, looked grave, and, said she, 'Hasten, Ailsa, to the sons of Rothesay and bid them still be wary of this man. Not until he is dead will all danger from him be past. Those were her words, Kenric; and lest there should be truth in them I have come to you as speedily as I might. Alpin is about to engage in mortal combat.
Ailsa was very animated; she told him about Stephen's enlistment, asked scores of questions about military life, the chances in battle, the proportion of those who went through war unscathed. And at length Colonel Arran arose to take his departure; and she had not told what was hammering for utterance in every heart beat; she did not know how to tell, what to ask.
"You very wicked little boy, don't you dare to make another face at anybody! or I'll I'll report your conduct to to the Sanitary Commission!" "Oh, come!" he said blankly, "don't do that, lady! They'll raise hell with me, if you do. I want to get hunky with the Sanitary boss." "Then behave yourself!" said Ailsa, furious; "and don't you dare to swear again. Do you hear?"
What he had to say in his letters Ailsa never knew, for Letty, who had been touched and surprised by the first one and had read it aloud to Ailsa, read no more of the letters which came to her from Dr. Benton. And Ailsa asked her nothing.
And Meryl a quiet, white-faced Meryl nowadays, with little enough enthusiasm for frocks and wedding-presents let her have her way. The first meeting between Ailsa and Carew was a very difficult one for the woman. Directly she saw him she realised that he had drawn back into his shell further than ever, and the increased greyness on his temples spoke for itself of anxious, troubled hours.
Miss Lorne advised against it, and, as I am always guided by her, I said nothing of the matter to anybody." "Was that wrong, do you think, Mr. Narkom?" queried Ailsa anxiously.
Now he never mentioned the game; he had exchanged old gods for new, and his homage was no longer paid to George Hirst or Wilfred Rhodes, but to Arran Chief, Yorkshire Hero, and Ailsa Craig. He took his gardening very seriously, and called it "feightin' t' Germans."
It was the first of that sort of thing that Ailsa and Letty had seen.
And he laughed crazily to himself, inwardly convulsed; and then his own voice sounded again, low, humorous, caressingly modulated; and he listened to it, amused that he was able to speak at all. "And so you are the wonderful Ailsa Paige," he heard himself repeating. "Camilla wrote me that I must beware of my peace of mind the moment I first set eyes on you " "Camilla Lent is supremely silly, Mr.
"She's a ve'y sweet little minx. . . . She is odd, somehow. . . . So young such a he'pless, cute little thing. . . Ailsa, in that child's eyes or in her features somewhere, somehow, I see I feel a a sadness, somehow like the gravity of expe'ience, the something that wisdom brings to the ve'y young too early. It is odd, isn't it." "Letty is a strange, gentle little thing. I've often wondered "
