Nancy and her brother were now awake, and poor Mary occupied her father's arm-chair, in which she sat with her head reclined upon the back of it, somewhat, indeed, after his own fashion and Sarah opposite young Con's bed, having her eyes fixed, with a mournful expression, on his pale and almost deathlike countenance.
That tells it all, straight to the understanding, without any sickly circumlocutory stuff; and there's nothing more offensive to us when we're hurt at intelligence. For the same reason, Colonel Arthur couldn't go, since you'll want him to meet the Mattocks? Captain Con's underlip shone with a roguish thinness. 'Arthur must be here, said Mrs. Adister. 'I cannot bring myself to write it.
You must fill the bare corners spare no expense. You and I will be quite reckless; I want this place to be a home at last." And now Lynda's eyes were shining her rare tears blinded her. "You have always tried indirectly, Lynda, to secure Con's greatest good; you have done it! I mean to leave him a legacy of three thousand a year.
"You could work up, Ju," Mark suggested, honestly anxious to console. "Yes, the way Connie and Rose have!" the girl answered dryly. "Con's been in the business six years and Rose nine!" Her eyes travelled the blue spaces of the summer sky. "I wish I could go to New York," she said vaguely.
And it was upon one of these adventures that the three got separated in some way, Banty and the Indian reaching camp a little before sunset, and waiting in vain for Con's appearance while the hours slipped by, and they called and shouted, and fired innumerable shots thinking to guide him campwards, while they little knew that all the gold in British Columbia could not have brought Con's feet to enter that little tent for many days to come; that with all his newborn affection for Banty, Con would make him most unwelcome should chance bring them face to face again.
'We 're held together and a trifle intermixed; I fancy it's we with him and with me when we're talking of army or navy, said Patrick. 'But Captain Con's a bit of a politician: a poor business, when there's nothing to be done. 'A very poor business! Mr. Adister rejoined,
He's not very far in his Latin yet, sir but his master tells me that he hasn't the likes of him in the school for brightness Briney, will you come over, I say; come over, sarrah, and spake to the gintleman, and him wants to shake hands wid you come up, man, what are you afeard of? sure Father Con's not going to examine you now."
Oh! you poor little ignoramus; the boy never had a soul worth mentioning until it got awakened, in self-defense, and grew its own limit. What did you and Brace know of the past the past that went into Con's making? You were free enough with your young condemnation and misplaced loyalty but how about justice?" Lynda's eyes were fixed upon Truedale's face.
I don't forget how often I've flouted Con's intuitions. But I've got one now, a big one!" "That he's coming?" "Been coming these two days pure presentiment!" "Nan, whether he is or not, if you'll tell us what Colonel Greenleaf wrote you I'll tell you "
But when she and Janey come on in January you'll see for yourself. Janey's so pretty; I wish she'd marry, but she never sees any one but Rich! Rich is simply adorable; he had Con and her husband and little girl with him this summer. Con's getting very fat she's great fun! And Ted's very much improved, Bab, very much more gentle and sweet. She told me about Bob Carleton's death, poor fellow!
