"No; I'd be up a tree if he asked me to explain it. But don't you be afraid of Mills; he's a fine chap. Come and see me to-morrow night, will you?" Sydney agreed, and, arising, swung himself across the study to where his coat and cap lay. "By the way," he asked, "where's Paul to-night?" "He's calling on Cowan," answered Neil. Sydney looked as though he wanted to say something and didn't dare.
"Thank you, lads," he said; "remember, we may have to whistle for our pay." "Damn the pay!" cried Bill Cowan, and we echoed the sentiment. "We'll see what can be done about land grants," said the Colonel, and he turned away. At dusk that evening I sat on the back door-step, by the orchard, cleaning his rifle. The sound of steps came from the little passage behind me, and a hand was on my head.
I think this, with the old Memoires on the same subject which I have at Abbotsford, would enable me to make a pretty essay for the Quarterly. We must take up Woodstock now in good earnest. Mr. Cowan, a good and able man, is chosen trustee in Constable's affairs, with full power.
So long as he had his mother, and his mother smiled at him, life was all sunshine. He gave his name to the teacher, and answered all her questions readily, and was duly enrolled as a pupil in Grade I, along with Bennie Cowan, Edgar Zinc and Bessie Brownlees, and set at work to make figures.
"Then young Schwarz the man you know as Siddons saw a chance to relieve the pressure and at the same time serve America in a most unusual way, a way not possible with one man in a million." "Serve America? You mean Germany?" Larkin interjected. "I said America," Cowan replied testily. He did not like to be interrupted. "You'd better let me tell it my way.
She died a very few days after her arrival at home. Perhaps the news of her death falling suddenly into the life of which her patient existence had formed a part, only a little week or so before, made those who remained at Cowan Bridge look with more anxiety on Elizabeth's symptoms, which also turned out to be consumptive.
Cowan was a favorite boxer, and shortly to face the noted Christchurch Kid, of Christchurch, New Zealand, whose fist was described on the bill-boards as "a rock thrown by a mighty slinger." Cowan, a half-Polynesian, was beloved for his island blood, and was marrying into a Tahitian family of note and means.
The sodden grass was matted now and unkempt. Lifeless lakes filled the depressions, and through them we waded mile after mile ankle-deep. There was a little cavalcade mounted on the tiny French ponies, and sometimes I rode with these; but oftenest Cowan or Tom would fling me; drum and all, on his shoulder. For we had reached the forest swamps where the water is the color of the Creole coffee.
McGee protested, pointing out that he did not want to gain the honor at Yancey's expense, and particularly since he considered Yancey worthy of the command. But Cowan was sure of the wisdom of the move, and made his own selection of the men who were to go on this first patrol.
Even Dave Cowan, drifting in from out of the nowhere in shoes properly describable as only memories of shoes said she was a snappy little machine, and applauded his son's easy mastery of it. So the days of Wilbur were busy days, even if he had not settled far enough down to suit either Sam Pickering, Porter Howgill who did everything, if asked or the First-Class Garage.
