All was apparently an unbroken mass, through which no mortal or living thing had ever passed. She began to think that, after all, Duffel might possibly be deceived himself, or else was only trying to frighten her.
"They'll either consent or we'll shoot up the town, hey, Safety First? We're on the rampage to-night; somebody's been feeding us meat." It was not Pee-wee's custom to leave a thing to somebody else. He attended to everything meals, awards, hikes, ice cream cones, camping localities, duffel lists, parents, everything. He was the world's champion fixer.
"I knew what I was at all the time; but I saw you were scared." "Well, what's to be done next?" "We must get ahead of him, and do the thing up while he is crossing the mountains, as Lieutenant Duffel suggested, and as I told you before." "We can do that easy enough; but what do you think; shan't we make Duffel side with us in the Duval affair for putting us to so much trouble?"
Indeed, had I not felt certain of this, I should not have adopted the measures I did." Here Duffel gave the captain a history of the events narrated in chapter second. When he finished his recital, the captain said: "Why, Duffel, you are the very devil at a plot! I had no idea you could act the part so well I shall certainly use you hereafter.
She could appreciate the wild joy of a return for a brief season to the company of fellow-men. When her glance fell upon the last of the canoes, it rested with a flash of surprise. The craft was still floating idly, its bow barely caught against the bank. The crew had deserted, but amidships, among the packages of pelts and duffel, sat a stranger. The canoe was that of the post at Kettle Portage.
Now load up with the bundles and boxes, the tent, the blanket-roll, the clothes-bag, the provisions all the stuff that is known as "duffel" in New York, and "butins" in French Canada, and "wangan" in Maine stow it all away judiciously so that the two light craft will be well balanced; and then push off, bow paddles, and let us taste the joy of a new stream!
From this entrance, a road, some five or six feet wide had been cut out into the middle of the thicket, which was a large open area covered with grass and shaded by bushy trees, of small altitude, with wide-extended branches. Arrived at this spot, Duffel unsaddled his horse and turned him loose to crop the luxuriant grass.
Dick was rather out of his element when it came to the gentleman: he was a little awkward, and by no means at his ease; but give him a daring or desperate act to perform, and he was entirely at home. Yet for all this there was a streak of the man about him, and at heart he was better than either Bill or Duffel.
Faithful to his wicked intentions, Duffel presented himself before Eveline on the day succeeding the one in which she was placed in confinement at the cave, and having no choice in the matter, she was obliged to become a participator in the conversation he was pleased to introduce and force upon her.
The Admiral had, moreover, drank the toast of "Vivent leg gueux" on various occasions, at the Culemberg House banquet, at the private table of the Prince of Orange, at a supper at the monastery of Saint Bernard's, at a dinner given by Burgomaster Straalen. He had sanctioned the treaties with the rebels at Duffel, by which he had clearly rendered himself guilty of high treason.
