They reached the house as he made this gallant speech, and Milly went straight to her room. The only members of the household who sat down to luncheon that day were Mrs Gordon, Archie, the enthusiastic photographer, and Flo, with her black doll; and the only guest, besides Barret, was McPherson, the skipper of the lost yacht. The rest were all out rambling by mountain, loch, or stream.
They both came running up, their blasters held at ready. "What is it?" demanded Astro. "What's going on here?" "Arrest that man!" shouted Barret. Astro and Roger looked questioningly at Troy. They did not know him personally but had seen him around the hangar and knew that he worked closely with the professor and Barret. Still vaguely distrustful of Barret's behavior, Astro turned to Hemmingwell.
"Come, Ned, not to-night; you can go to-morrow" said Barret soothingly, yet maintaining his hold of his friend. "W-why not? ain't night the best time to to be jolly? eh! L-me go, I shay." He made a fierce struggle at this point; and Barret, ceasing to expostulate, seized him with a grasp that he could not resist, and dragged him forcibly, yet without unnecessary violence, into the room.
No, there were none there at the moment; most of them being out after the sheep and cattle, and some gathering peat, or away in the boats. "But surely they have not left you all by yourself?" said Barret, struck not only by the appearance of the girl, but by the comparative refinement of her language. "Oh no!" she replied, with a slight smile; "they look well after me.
Swooping downwards, and hovering overhead on grand expanded pinions, the eagle seemed to watch with keen interest the result of this meeting. "Pardon this intrusion, Miss Moss. I really did not know you were in this neighbourhood till a few minutes ago," said Barret, sitting down on the heather beside her.
"Ginger," says the young man, pointing significantly to a bit of blue ribbon in his button-hole. "Come far to-day, sir?" asks the host, as he pours out the liquid. "Fifty miles rather more," says Barret, setting down the glass. "Fine weather, sir, for bicycling," says the landlord, sweeping in the coppers. "Very; good-day."
About the same time, Barret and Junkie having selected a convenient mass of rock as their outlook, so that they could command the pass for some distance in both directions without exposing themselves to view, rested the rifle against the cliff and began to talk. Soon the young man discovered that the little boy, like many other mischievous boys, was of an exceedingly inquiring disposition.
It was plain that neither dressing gongs nor breakfast-bells had any effect upon him, for he lay still in motionless slumber. "Hallo! Junkie, did you hear the gong?" said Barret, pushing the boy gently. But Junkie answered not, and he had to push him three or four times gently, and twice roughly, before he could awaken the youngster.
But Barret saw nothing of it. He only saw a pretty hand, a blushing cheek and sunny hair! The picture was not bad.
"That has nothing to do with it," replied Scott stubbornly. "The others feel the same way I do." Barret stepped forward. Arrogantly and before Connel could stop him, he began addressing the men. "Listen, you men!" he shouted. "You're being childish! Why, you built this ship! How can you possibly allow yourselves to be so stupid as to believe in an idiotic thing like a jinx.
