They brought him twenty-three hundred dollars and he knocked them down merrily. Now with every step forward his lively interest increased. He bought the rifles and ammunition, shipping them down to Barlow in San Diego. And upon him fell the duty and delight of provisioning for the cruise.
He had but a son for England's defence; and the frame of his boy might be set quaking by a thump on the wind of a drum; the courage of William Barlow Skepsey would not stand against a sheep; it would wind-up hares to have a run at him out in the field. Offspring of a woman of principle! . . . but there is no rubbing out in life: why dream of it?
Yes, it was settled; his career was determined. He would run away from home and enter upon it. He would start the very next morning. Therefore he must now begin to get ready. He would collect his resources together. He went to a rotten log near at hand and began to dig under one end of it with his Barlow knife. He soon struck wood that sounded hollow.
Lorry was not interested in letters and made no response, and after a pause heard her sister's voice, raised in the same vivacious note: "Mine's from Lilly Barlow. She wants me to come down on Tuesday and stay over till Friday. They're having a dance." "A dance oh, that'll be lovely. When is it to be?" "Tuesday night. I'm to go down on the evening train and they'll meet me with the motor."
He then related to Mr Barlow every incident of Tommy's behaviour; making the severest reflections upon his insolence and ingratitude, and blaming his own supineness, that had not earlier checked these boisterous passions, that now burst forth with such a degree of fury that threatened ruin to his hopes.
"Sir," said Mr. Barlow, after assuring him of the most scrupulous discretion, "sir, I have some recollection of the trial instituted by your mother, Mrs. Beaufort" and the slight emphasis he laid on that name was the most grateful compliment be could have paid to the truth of Philip's recital.
Patty and Cousin Tom reached the Grand Central station in New York about six o'clock, and leaving the train, went in search of any member of the Barlow family who might be there to meet them. They hadn't walked a dozen steps before they were confronted by three broadly smiling faces.
'I shouldn't mind a harder word now and then, sir, if it makes it easier for you. Mr. Barlow examined her, but Totty's face was very placid. She cast down her eyes, and watched her toes tapping together. 'Well, well; I think you follow me. Now the conditions are these. The money is payable to you payable, you see on your marriage. 'Oh! 'I beg you not to interrupt me.
It was long since he had smelled the sea, had known ocean sunrise and sunset, had gone to sleep with his bunk swaying and the water lapping. So when again Barlow said, "You'll come?" Kendric's hand shot out to be gripped by way of signing a contract, and his voice rang out joyously, "Put her there, old mate! I'm with you, blow high, blow low." For a few minutes they planned.
Barlow, and myself, as the two lay members of the Ordnance Committee, are so specially interested.
