So they were had into the palace and showed the whole art of the sword for two hours at a stretch, before King George and Queen Carline, and the Butcher Cumberland, and many more of whom I havenae mind.
Carline, here, that I knew you, that I'd seen you before! I'm glad to see you boys again. Catch a line there." No doubt about it, they were old friends. In a minute they were shaking hands all around, then went into the shanty-boat, and they sat down in assorted chairs, and Doss, Jet, and Cope exchanged the gossip of a river year.
"When a lady can handle a river Law like she does, us bad uns are real nice!" Terabon laughed, and the two went into the cabin-boat where Carline lay on the bunk.
Carline had run into the great dead eddy at the foot of Yankee Lower Bar, turned up in the slow reverse eddy of the chute, and was coming by their boat at the slowest possible speed. Despard pulled his soft shirt collar, straightened his tie, hitched his suspenders, put on his coat, walked out on the stern deck, and, after a glance around, seemed suddenly to discover the stranger.
The sudden dawn caught him by surprise, and he stared rather nonplussed by the sunrise, but when he looked around and saw that he was in mid-stream and miles from anywhere and from any one, he knew that there was no better place in the world for taming one's wife, and extorting from her the apologies which seemed to Carline appropriate, all things considered, for the occasion.
"Stillhouse Island, yes, sir. What do you know about that?" "A remarkable woman!" "Yes, sir I I've got some photographs," and Carline turned to a writing desk built into the motorboat. He brought out fifteen or twenty photographs. Terabon looked at them eagerly.
But she cam nae speed wi' him; an' at last she says, says she, 'Geordie, I can make nothing of him: what in the world is to be done? 'Gie him a shairp upward yark, my leddy, says I; 'there canna be muckle strength o' resistance left in him by this time! Weel, she did as I tellt her I will say this for Leddy Carline, that she's aye biddable.
But the Hall-Sun answered in the same steady manner as before: "None knoweth who is my mother, nor my very father's name; But when to the House of the Wolfings a wild-wood waif I came, They gave me a foster-mother an ancient dame and good, And a glorious foster-father the best of all the blood." Spake the Carline.
Then the carline told on. She told how Hall of Lithdale had come out to Iceland, and of the story that he bore to Gudruda, and of the giving of the lock of hair. "What did I say, lord?" broke in Skallagrim "that in Hall thou hadst let a weasel go who would live to nip thee?" "Him I will surely live to shorten by a head," quoth Eric. "Nay, lord, this one for me Ospakar for thee, Hall for me!"
When de Cunnel died, my young Miss didn't hab nobody to take keer ob her, nor no money to run de place, no nothin' 'ceptin' jus' me an' Carline. Dey wasn't nothin' left fer her to do but git married." A long pause followed during which the traveler watched the distorted shadow of the trotting horse as it shambled along the road.
