I shall always look back with pleasure upon our agreeable adventures together; and as you hold my dust-coat, together with a ring and letter to which I attach importance, I consider we are quits, and I shall withdraw with dignity. Your sincere well-wisher, CUTHBERT CLAY, Poet." "Just like him!" Charles said, "to hold this one last coup over my head in terrorem.
Now I'm going to see her." "Oh!" said Peter, still more thunderstruck. "I'll wire you when you're to come," said his uncle, briskly, and got into dust-coat, cap, and goggles. A few minutes later, before the little town was well awake, he vanished in a cloud of dust down the Riverton Road.
The evening was fine, and the distance not far from Morley's to the Cecil; Jack therefore did not trouble to take a cab, but, slipping on a light dust-coat over his evening dress, set out to walk down the Strand on his way to dine with his friend.
A touring-car, with its powerful head-lights paling the white radiance of the moon, was drawn up at the steps, and he had a glimpse of a big man, swathed from head to heel in a dust-coat, descending from the tonneau. "I suppose that will be 'Mahsteh Majah," he mused sleepily. "That's why the little lady was sitting up so late she was waiting for him."
Burns, also in dust-coat pulled on over his evening clothes, grinned cheerfully. "Deserter?" he queried. "You'll be back within the hour, won't you?" "Less than that, probably. The Imp's running like a bird to-night show you her paces when we get out. Hi, there! Who's that chasing us? Well, of all the you, too, Ches?"
'Now mind, Ernest said seriously, as he opened the door, 'whatever you do, Oswald, if you stew to death for it and Schurz's rooms are often very close and hot, I can assure you don't for heaven's sake go and unbutton your dust-coat. If you do they'll see at once you're a wolf in sheep's clothing, and I shouldn't be at all surprised if they were to turn and rend you.
And it was not until he was turning away that he found himself face to face with a very beautiful and very clear-eyed young woman who was buttoning an automobile dust-coat up under her chin. "Patricia!" he burst out. And then: "For Heaven's sake! you don't mean to tell me that you have been here all evening?"
In obedience to Lidgerwood's uplifted finger the brakes were applied, and the Nadia came to a full stop, with its observation platform opposite the end of the wrecking-track. A big man, in a soft hat and loose box dust-coat, with twinkling little eyes and a curling brown beard that covered fully three-fourths of his face, stood at the hand-rail. "Hello, Howard!" he called down to Lidgerwood.
Finally, when the cabman, all top-heavy and bristling, had staggered off up the garden path, there emerged in a very leisurely way from the cab a big, powerfully built young man, with a bull pup under one arm and a pink sporting paper in his hand. The paper he crammed into the pocket of his light yellow dust-coat, and extended his hand as if to assist some one else from the vehicle.
And you must go like a derned fool and leave these yer things behind you in the bresh," he went on querulously, lifting Madison Clay's dust-coat, hat, and shotgun from his horse, which stood saddled at the door. "Luckily I picked them up in the woods comin' here. Ye ain't got more than time to get over the state line and among your folks thar afore they'll be down on you. Hustle, old man!
