Under this sacred symbol he carved: "SIR W. BLINT, BART." He stood at salute for a full minute. Then turned, dropped to his knees, and began another thorough search among the debris and dead leaves. "Hello, Yellow-hair!" She had been watching his approach from where she was seated balanced on the stream's edge, with both legs in the water to the knees.
That was what she was doing," Fanny said, "that last morning at Matcham when all of us went off and she kept the Prince and Charlotte over. She helped them simply that she might herself be helped if it wasn't perhaps, rather, with her ridiculous Mr. Blint, that HE might be.
She examined them one by one in silence while McKay ran through the pages of the notebook discoloured pages all warped and stained in their leather binding but written in pencil with print-like distinction. "Sir W. Blint," murmured McKay, still busy with the notebook. "Can't find what W. stood for."
Blint for the morning was doubtless already, with all the spacious harmonies re- established, taking the form of "going over" something with him, at the piano, in one of the numerous smaller rooms that were consecrated to the less gregarious uses; what she had wished had been effected her convenience had been assured.
If, madam, we come out of this business alive, my comrade and I will do ourselves the honour of waiting on you if, as we suppose, you would care to hear from us how we discovered the body of the late Sir W. Blint. Madam, accept homage and deep respect from two Americans who are, before long, rather likely to join your gallant husband in the great adventure" "Yellow-hair?"
Wherever he was stationed the lives of the birds, animals, insects and plants interested him. ... Everywhere one comes across his pencilled queries and comments concerning such things; here he discovers a moth unfamiliar to him, there a bird he does not recognise. He was a quaint chap " McKay's voice ceased but his eyes still followed the pencilled lines of the late Sir W. Blint.
They had risen together to come upstairs; he had been talking at the last about some of the people, at the very last of all about Lady Castledean and Mr. Blint; after which she had once more broken ground on the matter of the "type" of Gloucester.
McKay closed the little book, strapped and buckled the cover. "Exit Sir W. Blint," he said, not flippantly. "I think I should like to have known that man." The girl, lying there with the golden water swirling around her knees and her golden head on the moss, looked up through the foliage in silence. The eagle was soaring lower over the forest now.
It made everything fit; above all it diverted him to the extent of keeping up, while he lingered and waited, his meditative smile. She had detained Charlotte because she wished to detain Mr. Blint, and she couldn't detain Mr. Blint, disposed though he clearly was to oblige her, without spreading over the act some ampler drapery.
"That's all there is just his name and military rank as an aviator: I left the disk where it hung." The girl placed the trinkets on the moss beside her and looked up into McKay's face. Both knew they were thinking of the same thing. They wore no disks. Would anybody do for them what McKay had done for the late Sir W. Blint? McKay bent a little closer over her and looked down into her face.
