"It come to me when I see her a-standin' outside the circle, and it was borne in on me to testify b'fore the brethren." In this, its third edition, the tale gained picturesqueness and circumstantial weight. To the New York episode the widow contributed the imaginative touch of a baffled detective, while Mrs. Bowers's shots in the stilly night passed into the province of undisputed fact.
Then he blurted out in desperate candor: "I ain't honest, but I won't lie I been advertisin'." "What for?" The perspiration broke out on Bowers's forehead. "I thought I'd git married, if anybody that looked good to me would have me." "You're not happy, Bowers?" she asked gently. "I ain't sufferin', but I ain't livin' in what you'd call no seventh heaven."
Chalk after an effort found his voice. "They've gone off with the treasure," he said, slowly. "Also," continued Tredgold, "this is not Bowers's Island. I can see it all now. They've only taken the map, and now they're off to the real island to get the treasure. It's as clear as daylight." "Broad daylight," said Stobell, huskily. "But how did they know?"
When the party got back to their shelter two eggs had burst and saturated Cherry-Garrard's mitts. This optimistic young man found good even in this, for he said that on the way home to Cape Evans his mitts thawed out far more easily than Bowers's did, and attributed the little triumph to the grease in the broken egg!
"You've seen it before, Tredgold," he said, shortly. "It's a fine old building," said the other. "Binchester ought to be proud of it. Why, here we are at Captain Bowers's!" "The house has been next to the church for a couple o' hundred years," retorted his friend. "Let's go in," said Mr. Tredgold. "Strike while the iron's hot. At any rate," he concluded, as Mr.
Bowers's dejected face, but left the deep outlines set with a rude dignity. "It's SO," he said, slowly, "though, as a young man and a gay feller, ye may think it's funny." "No, not funny, but a terrible blunder, Mr. Bowers, for I give you my word I know nothing of the lady and have never set eyes upon her." "No, but she has on YOU. I can't say," continued Mr.
After a further piece of manoeuvring a pony and all the sledges were recovered, the three other ponies were drowned. Only those who have served in the Antarctic can realise fully what Bowers's party and also Scott's own rescue party went through.
"Distillin's a wicked business." "People thought differently about many things in my grandfather's day." The widow sniffed. "Wrong's wrong. Is that Seneca Bowers's roll-top desk?" "It was Mr. Bowers's. I bought it when we dissolved partnership." "Law books, too?" "Yes." "Threw in the pictur's, I s'pose?" indicating some dingy lithographs of political worthies past and present.
Now as the lamb's long white lashes drooped until he seemed about to go to sleep and fall down under Bowers's soothing ministrations, the latter continued the one-sided conversation which was a part of their daily life together: "You're a smart sheep, Mary no gittin' away from it but you're a torment, and you ain't no gratitude.
Kate never had been on a street car or in a "machine," so she had counted on him to pilot her from South Omaha to the city proper. Disappointed and hurt by Bowers's neglect, she wandered aimlessly about the streets in the vicinity of her hotel, stopping occasionally to look at the cheap wares displayed in the windows of the small shops of South Omaha.
