They gave me the names of twenty-six persons who professed to belong to the Church of England, and were desirous of having a Mission established among them. During our stay we were guests at Mr. Angus's house, a clean, respectable dwelling, and were regaled with venison and huckleberry pie. The next Indian Reserve that we visited was Saugeen.
As they stood silent and drank in the beauty about them, an angry voice broke the stillness. It came from the interior of the barn near which they were standing. "I tell you what, Tom Thornton, I'm with Sandy McCulloch. The sheep always were washed after shearing in Old Angus's day, and in Johnson's as well. That is how Crescent Ranch came to have the good name it now holds.
Pembroke's brother was just arriving, as was proved by a letter received from him eight days after the experiment was recorded, on January 31. At that date Mr. Pembroke had not yet been told the nature of Miss Angus's crystal picture, nor had she any knowledge of his brother's whereabouts. In February 1898, Miss Angus again came to the place where I was residing.
Angus McRae's home was the refuge of the unfit, for young Peter did the chores in the winter when the Inverness was in the dock, and Old Peter came and stayed indefinitely when he was recovering from a drunken spree, and Aunt Kirsty declared that there was no place where a body could put her foot without stepping on one of Angus's wastrels. Roderick came back the week after Billy's arrest.
"Four guys one on each corner. They bring it in every year. It's Angus's. He has a band, plays Dixieland and early jazz." "Oooh," Willow said, "stride piano." She had grown up listening to Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, and Fats Waller, her father's nod to modernity. Straight from Bach, he used to say. She sipped her beer. Martin Merrill arrived. "Hey there, Art. Hi, Willow." "Hey, Martin.
And at the end of every misconstructed sentence like a wailing refrain were the words, "I done wrong and I deserve all I got, but it's hard on you old girl, and I thought that Old Angus's son might have got me off." Whether right or wrong, Helen felt a sting of resentment, as she looked up and saw Roderick swinging down the road towards her.
We sets down to the table about ten after and 'twere handy to half-past when we clears the table. Then Injun Jake has a smoke, and I shows he the silver, and I'm thinkin' 'twere a bit after two when he goes. He said he were goin' to stop on Flat P'int last night and get to Tom Angus's to-night whatever." "A little after two o'clock when he left?" "Maybe 'twere half-past.
Even Angus twisted himself round, and sat in a more decorous way. "What are we going to do?" I asked of Flora. "The exercise, dear," said she. "Exercise!" cried I. "What are we to exercise?" A curious sort of gurgle came from Angus's part of the room, as if a laugh had made its way into his throat, and he had smothered it in its cradle.
The gun had dropped from Angus's hand, and Robert, keeping his eye on him, secured it. "She's lodd," muttered Angus. "Lie still than," returned Robert, pointing the weapon at his head. "It'll be murder," said Angus, and made a movement to lay hold of the barrel. "Haud him doon, Oscar," cried Robert. The dog's paws were instantly on his chest, and his teeth grinning within an inch of his face.
And this child her child and Angus's, would be a deformity, a shame to its parents, a dishonour to its race. How should she ever bear to look upon it? Still more, how should she ever dare to show the poor cripple to its father, and say, "This is our child our firstborn." Would he not turn away in disgust, and answer that it had better died?
