Oh, Euan, it is most delicious! I have slept there until dawn, lying up to my throat in the crystal flood." She laughed again. "And once, lying so, asleep, my body slipped and in I slid, deep, deep in, and awoke in a dreadful fright half drowned." "Is it wise to sleep so in the Water?" I asked uneasily. "Oh! Am I ever wise?" she said wearily.
It was from Lois; and my heart beat the "general" so violently that for a moment it stopped my breath: "Euan Loskiel, my comrade, and my dear friend: Since you have gone, news has come that our General Wayne, with twelve hundred light infantry, stormed and took Stony Point on the Hudson on the 15th of this past month.
Hulloa, there's Euan Macdonnell, the coastguard, Neil's cousin; we'll stop and ask him if he can come out fishing with us some day soon. 'Good day, Euan, said the young people, pausing to speak, but the coastguard only saluted and passed on as though he were in a hurry. Reggie looked at Allan in surprise. 'Been sent on a message, I suppose, said Allan, 'and hasn't time to talk.
"Oh, how you squirm, Euan! Cupid and I are shooting you full as a porcupine!" "If Cupid is truly shooting," said I with malice, "you had best hunt cover, Lana. For I think already a spent shaft or two has bruised you, flying at hazard from his bow." She smilingly ignored what I had said. "Tell me," she persisted, "are you not at her pretty feet already?
When I arrived, my foster father who I then supposed was my own father lay in a tent a condemned deserter, seeming not even to care, or to comprehend his dreadful plight. All the defence he ever made, they say was that he had tired of dirty camps and foolish drums, and wished to paint again. Euan, it was terrible. He did not understand.
'Yes, said Tricksy; 'let's write it at once. 'No pens or paper here, said Marjorie; 'we'll write it down when we get into the house. Euan, you must join the compact too; we'll send you a copy for yourself. Each of us shall have his or her own copy to carry about wherever we go; and each copy shall be signed by every member of the compact.
Surely they are the best judges of his guilt ..." Again a touch of warm colour suffused the girl's cheeks. Euan MacTavish remarked it and looked at her wistfully. "Well, well," he observed gently, "perhaps they're not, after all!" The girl looked up at him. "Euan, dear," she said impulsively, "I knew you'd understand. Robin and Hartley may have had a row, but it was nothing worse.
"But, Euan," the girl was very serious now, "what has the Secret Service to do with Hartley Parrish's clients in Holland?" The King's messenger laid a lean finger along his nose. "Ah!" he said, "what? That's what is beginning to interest me!" Life is like a kaleidoscope, that ingenious toy which was the delight of the Victorian nursery.
"But, my dear girl," exclaimed the Major, aghast, "you can't go to Holland like this alone. Does your mother know about it?" The girl shook her head. "It's no good trying to stop me, Euan," she declared. "I mean to go, anyway. As a matter of fact, Mother doesn't know. I merely left word that I had gone to the Continent for a few days. Nobody knows about Holland except you.
While we fully appreciate your own difficulties with labour at home, you will understand that this is a question which we cannot afford to adjourn sine die. Yours faithfully, pro ELIAS VAN DER SPYCK & CO. The signature was illegible. Euan MacTavish folded the letter again and handed it back to Mary. "That doesn't take me any farther," he said.
