Time and again after assuring Bagot that he and the ministry acquiesced, which, to do them justice, they did like men, he harked back to the idea of allowing events to prove that the government was indeed powerless, before it made a definitive surrender.
The second Baldwin-Lafontaine government received the full confidence and loyal support of the governor, and by its conduct and achievements justified the reform that had been so long delayed, and adopted with so many misgivings. But the fight for responsible government was not yet finished. The cry of French and rebel domination was raised, as it had been raised in the days of Governor Bagot.
They spoke Chinook, and I could understand them. Well, as they came near I saw that they had a woman with them." Bagot leaned forward, his body strained, every muscle tense. "A woman?" he said, as if breathing gave him sorrow "my wife?" "Your wife." "Quick! Quick! Go on oh, go on, m'sieu' good father." "She fell at my feet, begging me to save her. . . . I waved her off."
"Don't you hit me;" and he limped off, repeating the words as he went, while Frank stood looking after him, feeling as if he could not stir a step. "That was a clever trick of yours, young gentleman," said Bagot, with a broad grin. "But I don't bear any malice. King's service, sir. You see, I can take care of you as well as watch." "Yes.
"Looking at the present position of parties," he wrote to Bagot in July, "it may, I think, be safely laid down that, to obtain a working majority in the House of Assembly, it is absolutely necessary that the government should be able to carry with it the bulk of the French-Canadian members.... There is no disguising the fact that the French members possess the power of the country; and he who directs that power, backed by the most efficient means of controlling it, is in a situation to govern the province best."
"Are you sure you had no hand in it?" asked Mr. Grimm suspiciously, turning to Bagot. "You don't think I'd risk another suspension with graduation so near, do you?" asked Bagot. "I guess you're innocent this time," admitted Mr. Grimm unwillingly. "If I discover who did this I'll settle with him." "You've got to catch 'em first," murmured Sam. "Well I guess I'll go," went on Mr. Grimm.
Captain Percival sat at my right, of course, and the amount he ate was simply appalling! And the appetites of Lord Bagot and the others were equally fine. Course after course disappeared from their plates not a scrap left on them until one wondered how it was managed. Soon after dinner everyone went to Colonel Knight's quarters, where Lord Lome was holding a little reception.
An instant later there blazed forth on a board as on an illuminated sign, in front of the room of Adrian Bagot the words in letters of fire: WE DID IT. Underneath, in smaller characters were the initials; "Wait until Dr. Mead sees that," said Jack, as he looked out on the campus, which was now a scene of brilliancy. The whole academy was now aroused.
The priest's quick eye had taken in the lighted candles at the little shrine, even as he saw the painfully changed aspect of the man. "The wife and child, Bagot?" he asked, looking round. "Ah, the boy!" he added, and going toward the bed, continued, presently, in a low voice: "Dominique is ill?" Bagot nodded, and then answered: "A wild-cat and then fever, Father Corraine."
My old horse Cocky had got bad again, in consequence of his galloping with the packhorses, and I left him behind me at the Charlotte, in charge of Mr. Johnston. On arrival at the Peake, I found that Mr. Bagot had broken his collar-bone by a fall from a horse. I drove him to the Blinman Mine, where we took the coach for Adelaide.
