Cargill was not at the table the next morning, but he came in later, and greeted Bradley brusquely, as he flung his rag of a hat on the floor. "Well, legislator, what is on the tapis this morning? Anything I can do for you?" "No, I guess not. I am going to look up a new boarding-house." "What's the matter with this?" "Too rich for my blood." "Just repeat that, please." "Can't stand the expense."
It was not till November, 1847, that the John Wycliff and the Philip Lang sailed from Greenock with the first company of settlers. They reached their new home in March, 1848, under the guidance of Captain Cargill, an old soldier, who had been chosen as leader of the new settlement.
"What about that Bill of yours, Vennard?" he asked. "There have been a lot of stupid rumours." "Bill?" Vennard said. "I know of no Bill. Now that my departmental work is over, I can give my whole soul to Cargill's Small Holdings. Do you mean that?" "Yes, of course. There was some confusion in the popular mind, but the old arrangement holds. You and Cargill will put it through between you."
In the consciousness of this almighty strength, which was at his back, how could he be afraid? Cargill accepted the office of the Gospel ministry with a deep sense of unworthiness. When urged to enter the ministry he hesitated and spent a day in fasting and prayer to discover the mind of the Lord.
The perfume of her dress and its soft rustle as she moved to and fro before him made him forget her words. Cargill came up to the platform after the speaking and said jocosely, "Well, Legislator, you're getting ahead. You're laying a foundation for post-mortem fame, anyway. I hear you've been on to Congress." "Yes, I went on and stayed a few days." "How'd you like it?" "How do you do, Mr.
Richard Cameron was killed at the first charge: Donald Cargill and Hackston of Rathillet were made prisoners. Both were taken to Edinburgh and executed, the latter with circumstances of needless barbarity.
Even in illness the thing has never passed our lips." My aunt by this time had pulled herself together. "If this outrageous story is current, Mrs. Cargill, there was nothing for it but to come back. Your friends know that it is a gross libel. The only denial necessary is for Mr. Cargill to resume his work. I trust his health is better." "He is well, but heartbroken.
John Smith, for page. He told them that he had nothing to say about those things. "I am counted with the Democrats, anyhow; I haven't any influence." They patted him on the shoulder, and winked slyly. "Oh, we know all about that! But every word helps, you know." Going out at the close of the session, he met Cargill. "Well, legislator, how goes it?" "Oh, I don't know; smoothly, I guess.
"But you can't get away from the facts, you know, Cargill." Cargill said no more. He perceived that they had lived long enough in retirement in the little Welsh village to have acquired a pride in its legend. The legend and the mountains are the two attractions of Tryn yr Wylfa the official guidebook devotes an equal amount of space to each.
I found my aunt almost in tears. "What has happened?" she cried. "What have we done that we should be punished in this awful way? And to think that the blow fell in this house? Caerlaverock we all thought Mr. Vennard so strange last night, and Lady Lavinia told me that Mr. Cargill was perfectly horrible. I suppose it must be the heat and the strain of the session.
