Dol Farrar, as he finished his jerky sentences, pointed to an eminence which was two or three hundred yards from where they stood, and a like distance from the wall of forest. "Well! It's about time we struck something at last," grumbled Garst. "Catch me ever coming on a water pilgrimage again! I'll let Herb fill his own kettle in future. Now, I believe that fellow could smell a spring."
His eyes, blue and keen, took us in from stem to stern, as the sailors say, and he came close to Dan before the fire, and "Ay," says he, "it'll be the boat again," and his voice was a growl. "Dol Rob Beag will be slipping his cable one of these fine nights," growled the listener; and then, "There's just the caves at the Rhu Ban," says he.
Her boat was escorted by a great number of others, six of which contained Vendeans bearing flags torn by bullets in the battles of Fontenay and of Torfou, of Laval, and of Dol. Grouped on the hill-slopes of Saint Florent, more than fifteen thousand spectators followed with their gaze the flotilla, in the midst of which they saw the Duchess of Berry, standing, visibly agitated.
Dol, whose eyes were of a more steely hue than his brother's, striking fire readily and showing all manner of flinty lights, who had a downright talent for mimicry, and a small share of juvenile self-importance, came in for regard of a more indulgent and less equal nature.
"Yes, it's jolly enough now; but I tell you I didn't find it so to-day," grumbled Dol, while his eyes gleamed like polished steel with the light of present fun. "But as long as I live I'll remember the sound of your horn, Doctor, when I was dead-beat." "Is that so?
"Dol Vincez, you just stop that nonsense," flared Dozia Dalton, stepping up to the fancy little door defiantly. "We saw Judith Stearns run in here after Shirley Duncan, and you know very well that old officer Sandy came in after her. Now where is Judith?" "Isn't it lovely to have you all here? And begging me for something?"
Dol thought it came from a feathered creature; his more experienced companion guessed that the guide's lips gave it as a signal that he was coming, but that he didn't want to draw the moose's attention in his direction just yet. Such a quarter of an hour followed! With the fresh spurt of anger the bull-moose became more savage than ever.
Did you sell it?" asked Dol, who was, as usual, the first to break a breathless silence. There was no reply. Herb feigned not to hear. "Did you get two hundred dollars for the head?" questioned the impetuous youngster again, in a higher key, his curiosity swelling. "I didn't. It was stole." The answer was a growl, like the growl of a hurt animal whose sore has been touched.
Dol began on them greedily; and though the first mouthful or two threatened to sicken him, his squeamishness wore off, and he gained strength with every morsel. "How do you like Maine venison, my boy?
They had not been told any of the details, but when the party walking in from the village was suddenly broken up, first by the incident of the messenger boys' quarrel and then by Judith's disappearance into Dol Vin's beauty shop, with officer Sandy twirling his club and "gum-shoeing" after her, the whole situation was as clear as if the pieces had been patched together on a movie screen.
