They put up a great screen inside the door, and there the lan'less laird lay like a lord. Robert's heart was dreary when he got on the box-seat of the mail-coach at Rothieden it was yet drearier when he got down at The Royal Hotel in the street of Ben Accord and it was dreariest of all when he turned his back on Ericson's, and entered his own room at Mrs. Fyvie's.
They stopped as by consent, and a moment's silence followed. All at once she broke out with something Robert had never heard before. He soon found that it was a fantasy upon Ericson's poem. Ever through a troubled harmony ran a silver thread of melody from far away.
He'll be all right soon, I hope; but we can't be too careful. Keep him quiet that's the main thing. He mustn't speak a word. So saying he took his leave. Ericson held out his thin hand. Robert grasped it. Ericson's lips moved as if he would speak. 'Dinna speik, Mr. Ericson, said Miss Letty, whose tears were flowing unheeded down her cheeks, 'dinna speik.
His room-mate, a conductor on the P. R. R., was a globe-trotter, and through him Carl met the Adventurers, whom he had been questing ever since he had run away from Oscar Ericson's woodshed.
He'll be sorely missed in the countryside. But tell me, Mr. Duke, what for d'ye say that young Ericson has anything to do wi' it?" "Because," the magistrate replied, "simply because the gun that the man was shot with was found near the spot where he died. That gun, captain, is identified as Halcro Ericson's." "But surely ye canna convict the lad on such slight evidence, sir.
In the stead of trouble about a wilful, thoughtless girl, he found repose and protection and motherhood in a great-hearted woman. For Ericson's sake, Robert made some effort to preserve the acquaintance of Mr. Lindsay and his daughter. But he could hardly keep up a conversation with Mr. Lindsay, and Mysie showed herself utterly indifferent to him even in the way of common friendship.
There was a flush on Ericson's cheek, and a fire in his eye. Robert had never seen him look so grand. But there was a something about him that rendered him uneasy a look that made Ericson seem strange, as if his life lay in some far-off region. 'I want you to take your violin with you, Robert, he said. 'Hoots! returned Robert, 'hoo can I do that?
Rivers studied Ericson's face, and felt convinced that the very imperturbability of its expression was put on in order that no one might suppose he had learned anything of importance. It was quite different with Hamilton a light of excitement flashed across him for a moment and was then suddenly extinguished. 'News from Gloria, no doubt, Rivers thought to himself. 'Bad news, I hope.
And a fact which neither of them realized, save subconsciously, was in the background: Carl himself had come in a few years from Oscar Ericson's back yard to Ruth Winslow's library he had made the step naturally, as only an American could, but it was a step. She was loftily polite. "I'm afraid you can't quite understand what the niceties of life mean to people like Phil.
But anyhow, you know, when I have been in a foreign country where things are disturbed people send to me and offer me jobs, don't you see? So in that way I found that the powers that be in Gloria at present' Sarrasin was fond of good old phrases like 'the powers that be' 'the powers that be in Gloria have a terrible dread of Ericson's coming back. I know a lot about it.
