Tarboe, and he'll be Prime Minister of the whole country one day. I don't think you'll like it." "You hit hard, but if I hadn't taken the business, Carnac Grier wouldn't have got it. If it hadn't been me, it would have been some one else." "Well, why don't you live like a rich man and not like a foreman?" "I've been too busy to change my mode of living.
"Well, we pulled it off somehow, didn't we?" she said. "Carnac Grier is M.P." "And his foe is in his grave," remarked Tarboe dryly. "Providence pays debts that ought to be paid. This election has settled a lot of things," she returned with a smile. "I suppose it has, and I've come here to try and find one of the settlements." "Well, find them," she retorted. "I said one of the settlements only.
Carnac Grier, the disinherited son of the great lumber-king, who had fame as an artist, spoke French as though it were his native tongue, was an element of sensation which, if adroitly used, could be of great service. It might even defeat Barode Barouche. In the first place, Carnac was young, good-looking, personable, and taking in his manner.
Almost the whole extent of eight miles along the river is covered with magnificent portals, obelisks decorated with most beautiful sculptures, forests of columns, and long avenues of sphynxes and colossal statues. The most remarkable monuments, the ruins of which remain, are the temples of Carnac, Luxor, the Memnonium or temple of Memnon, and the temple of Medinet Abu.
While these things were happening, Carnac was spending all his time in the constituency. Every day was busy to the last minute, every hole in the belt of his equipment was buckled tight. In spite of his enthusiasm he was, however, troubled by the fact that Luzanne might appear. Yet as time went on he gained confidence.
Presently the two adjourned to the sitting-room, and there he saw that the table was only laid for two. That opened his eyes. The men had disappeared and he and Luzanne were alone. She was sitting on a sofa near the table, showing to good advantage. She was composed, while Carnac was embarrassed. Carnac began to take a grip on himself. The waiter entered. "When shall I serve dinner, sir?" he said.
She could sue you for cruelty and desertion, and the damages would be heavy." Carnac shook his head, paid his fee and left the office. He did not go near Luzanne. After a month he went to Paris for eight months, and then back to Montreal.
M'sieu' Carnac Grier's got the right stuff in him, and I'm for him both hands up both hands way up high, nom de pipe!" At that he raised both hands above his head with a loud cheer, and later Carnac Grier was carried to the launch in the arms of Eugene Grandois' friends. "Who are you, ma'm'selle?" It was in the house of Eugene Grandois that this question was asked of Junia.
Carnac asked calmly. Luc Baste began, not a statement of facts, but an oration on the rights of workers, their downtrodden condition and their beggarly wages. He said they had not enough to keep body and soul together, and that right well did their employers know it. He said there should be an increase of a half-dollar a day, or there would be a strike.
The letter had an American postmark, and the handwriting on the letter brought trouble to his eyes. He composed himself, however, and tore off the end of the envelope, taking out the letter. It was brief. It contained only a few lines, but as Carnac read them the colour left his face. "Good God!" he said to himself.
