Johnnie, as he struggled to burst through the rank formed by Scully and the Easterner, was crying, "Well, he says I cheated! He says I cheated! I won't allow no man to say I cheated! If he says I cheated, he's a !" The cowboy was telling the Swede, "Quit, now! Quit, d'ye hear " The screams of the Swede never ceased: "He did cheat! I saw him! I saw him "
"When was this?" asked the Easterner, puzzled. "The last week." "I didn't know he had had any assaying done." "O weel," said the doctor comfortably, "it may not have occurred to him to report yet. It was rich." "Mrs. McPherson, let's talk about dresses," called Mary across the table. "Here we've come down for a holiday and they insist on talking mining."
To all of which the Easterner found no rebuttal except the, to him, entirely efficient plea that his own method was good form. Now, of course, it is very pleasant to do things always accurately, according to the rules of the game, and if you are out merely for sport, perhaps it is as well to stick to them. But utility is another matter.
He attracted her no longer her heart was shut to him. And, during the days of Masten's continuing absence in the times when she reflected on her feelings toward Randerson on the day he had taught her the use of the pistol, she bitterly reproached herself for her momentary lack of loyalty to the Easterner.
She saw that he was young and well-built, though lean of features, but with frank, healthy eyes. He was not at all bad-looking. Also she observed that he was neatly garbed in puttees and knickerbockers, and she quickly appraised him as the usual type of Easterner come into the valley to spend the winter. Then she suddenly remembered her hair.
"It's a curious coincidence," I ventured, "that the Hong Kong Bank now occupies the lower floor. What a freak of the winds it was that swept the big fire around that and the Montgomery block, and left them both for posterity!" "Your fire seemed to have had a special veneration for historic structures," the Easterner commented. "It respected the Mission in like manner."
He stared ferociously at his son. "I have a mind to lather you for this, me boy." Johnnie was frantic. "Well, what have I done?" he bawled at his father. "I think you are tongue-tied," said Scully finally to his son, the cowboy, and the Easterner; and at the end of this scornful sentence he left the room. Up-stairs the Swede was swiftly fastening the straps of his great valise.
He was "an Easterner"; what more he was would develop later. Claude sensed something unusual about him. He suspected that Gerhardt knew a good many things as well as he knew French, and that he tried to conceal it, as people sometimes do when they feel they are not among their equals; this idea nettled him.
The Easterner poured his story and appeal for help into the ears of the girl at the other end of the line, and then for a few moments there was silence in the room as he listened to her reply.
Marshall followed somewhat reluctantly. Stone disappeared to return with cigars, whiskey and seltzer, which he placed at Overland's elbow. "My friend Dr. Marshall is an Easterner," he said. Overland waved a comprehending hand, lit another cigar, and settled back. "Now I can take the hobbles off and talk nacheral. When you gents want me to stop, just say 'Guzzuh."
