"Well, when she is shaved, we shall be in the parlor, tell her." In a moment or two Grotait bustled in, wiping his face with a towel as he came, and welcomed his visitors cordially. "Fine weather, gentlemen." Bayne cut that short. "Mr. Grotait, we have lost our bands." "You surprise me." "And perhaps you can tell us how to get them back."
Bayne was surprised at that; but he was a man who always allayed irritation on the spot. "Rely on it, there's some reason," said he. "Perhaps he has not got settled. I'll go for him directly." "Thank you," said the young lady. Then in the same breath, "No, take me to him, and perhaps we may catch him carving cross thing!"
Latterman had probably thrown out Pelton's nitrocaine capsules and then put Bayne up to insulting Pelton's daughter, knowing that a fit of rage would bring on another heart attack, which could be fatal without the medicine. "Well, send for more!" "The prescription's in the safe," she said faintly. The office safe was locked, and only a Literate could open it.
How could it be, indeed, in the face of all that had come and gone, and of the constant contrast, mind, body, and soul, with the perfect, the peerless Gladys! In this, the dreariest of his absences, seldom a word came to the two women waiting alternately in agonized expectation or dull despair. For Bayne was much of the time beyond the reach of postal and telegraphic facilities.
"I merely thought that my experience might be of some little service to you in an inquiry of this kind." "Not a doubt of it, sir," said Bayne, and led the way with his lantern, for it was past sunset. On the road, the visitor asked if anybody had marked the accused stone. Henry said he should know it again. "That is right," said the other.
Briscoe seemed somewhat reassured, but in the pervasive awkwardness of his plight as host of both parties he could not quit the subject. "Just so," he acquiesced gladly; "a mere dream and a dream can make no sensible man unhappy." Bayne laughed with a tense note of satire. "Well, the awakening was a rude jar, I must confess." For it had been no ordinary termination of an unhappy love affair.
As soon as he had obtained this information, Bayne bustled off; but Mary Anne detained Henry Little, to moralize. Said she, "This rattening for trade contributions is the result of bad and partial laws. If A contracts with B, and breaks his contract, B has no need to ratten A: he can sue him.
When you have picked your way out of this place, go to the great elm tree at the back of the old mill, and you will find my horse, Gyp, which I shall have tied there. He is very swift. Mount him and ride for your life to the nearest seaport, and so escape by a vessel to some foreign country. And oh, try to lead a good life, and may God redeem you, Donald Bayne!
He gulped down something very like a sob, and both his hand and his voice shook with strong passion as he took the pen. "I'll sign it; but if ever my turn comes, I'll remember this against you. This shows what they really are, Bayne. These words seemed to come in a great prophetic agony out of a bursting heart. But the representative of the Unions was neither moved by them nor irritated.
Then Henry went off in dudgeon, and, meeting Bayne in the yard, had a long discussion with him on the subject. The tempter took advantage of Little's angry departure, and steadily resumed his temptation. But he was interrupted in his turn.
