The married men were, of course, to make for their bungalows, except where, as in my case, I had made other arrangements; and the rest to various bungalows agreed upon, where traps were to be in readiness. Dunlop, Manners, and myself had agreed to make for Dunlop's, as it was the nearest, and his trap was to be ready that evening. "There were not many who believed in a mutiny that night.
Dunlop, took me roundly to task for asserting that, through a mere "accident of law" about "treasure trove" being, as of old, the property of the Crown, the Government claimed to confiscate the constitutional rights of one-half of the colonists. I "explained." But the situation really explained itself.
By dint of unwonted labour with the pen, Jeanie Deans contrived to indite, and give to the charge of the postman on the ensuing day, no less than three letters, an exertion altogether strange to her habits; insomuch so, that, if milk had been plenty, she would rather have made thrice as many Dunlop cheeses. The first of them was very brief.
CXLL To MRS. DUNLOP. ELLISLAND, 13th December 1789. Many thanks, dear Madam, for your sheetful of rhymes. Though at present I am below the veriest prose, yet from you everything pleases. I am groaning under the miseries of a diseased nervous system; a system, the state of which is most conducive to our happiness or the most productive of our misery.
Provided always, that such University or College be erected and established within the space of ten years, to be accounted from the time of my decease: and if such University or College should not be so erected and established within the said space of ten years, then upon trust that they the said John Richardson, James Reid, John Strachan, and James Dunlop, or the survivors or survivor of them, or the heirs, executors, or curators of such survivor, from and immediately after the said expiration of the said space of ten years do and shall pay the said sum of ten thousand pounds, with all and every the interest accrued thereon, to the said Francis Desrivières, if then living, to and for his use and benefit, or if dead, then to his legal heirs then living, to and for their use and benefit."
Dick exclaimed to his father; and the latter put his whistle to his lips, and the sound rang out shrill and high above the uproar. A minute later the front of the wall tottered and fell. Then Major Warrener held up his hand, and Captain Dunlop, who had stood all the time quietly watching him, fired the train.
Neither Hazelton nor myself ever handled a mine yet," Tom answered. "But we have done a lot of railroad work." "Railroad work isn't mine digging," objected Mr. Dunlop. "I'm aware of that, sir," Tom agreed. "Yet boring is largely excavation work; so is tunneling. We've had charge of considerable excavating in our services to railroads." "Very likely," nodded Dunlop, reflectively.
Dunlop, "and we're going into the mining business on our own account." "Nonsense! Where's your claim?" "Somewhere, sir, in this part of Nevada." "You haven't found the claim yet, then?" asked the promoter, with a tinge of relief in his voice. "No, sir. We located a promising claim, but the Gage gang tricked us out of it. We'll find another, though."
As soon as I can bear the journey, which will be, I suppose, about the middle of next week, I leave Edinburgh; and soon after I shall pay my grateful duty at Dunlop House. EDINBURGH, February 12, 1788. Some things in your late letters hurt me not that you say them, but that you mistake me. Religion, my honoured Madam, has not only been all my life my chief dependance, but my dearest enjoyment.
"You dragged your mother and my lass all the way to Dundee for nothing so far as I could learn; and " "He'd good reason," interrupted Mr. Lindsey. "He did quite right. Now what is this about your daughter, Mr. Dunlop? Just let's have the plain tale of it, and then we'll know where we are." I had already seen that Andrew Dunlop was not over well pleased with me and now I saw why.
