As strictly applicable to no Power at present represented in Morocco, the record is that of an imaginary embassy from Greece some sixty or more years ago. To prevent misconception, it may be as well to add that it was written previous to the failure of the mission of Sir Charles Euan Smith.
She laid both hands against her temple, pressing them there till her cheeks cooled. So she pondered for a while, her gaze remote. Then, looking fearlessly at me: "Euan, I am of that sad company of children born without name. I have lately dared to guess who was my father. Presently I will tell you who he was." Her grey and troubled eyes gazed into space now, dreamily. "He died long since.
She drew the packet from her bosom, unlaced the thong, unrolled the deer-hide covering. "Here is a roll of bark," she said. "This I have never had interpreted. Can you read it for me, Euan?" And there in the lantern light I read it, while she looked down over my shoulder. "Aesa-yat-yen-enghdon, Lois! "Jatthon-ten-yonk, Lois! For a long time I gazed at the writing in shocked silence.
"For God's sake let them hear no sound in this belt of bush," I whispered to Lois. "I am calm, Euan. I am not afraid." "Then fallow the Sagamore." One by one we turned and crept away southward; and I was ever fearful that some gleam from the fire, catching our rifle-barrels or axe-heads, might betray us.
Simon Hake, of Albany, two thousand pounds hard sterling. How I first came by it I do not know. But Guy Johnson placed it there for me, saying that it was mine by right. Now, today, I have written to Mr. Hake a letter. In this letter I have commanded some few trifles to be bought for you, such as all women naturally require." "Euan!" she exclaimed sharply. "I will not listen!" said I excitedly.
He cleared the sofa with a sweep of his arm which sent the books flying on to the floor. "Ernest," said MacTavish, "I want you to give Miss Trevert here a letter to some reliable fellow in Rotterdam who can assist her in making a few enquiries of a very delicate nature!" "What sort of enquiries?" asked Dulkinghorn bluntly. "About a firm called Elias van der Spyck," replied Euan.
"I mean to presently." "Then must I go so soon?" She did not answer. Once I thought I heard her moving softly, but the sound came from the wrong direction. "Lois!" No reply. "Lois!" I repeated uneasily. There was a ripple in the pool, silence, then somewhere in the darkness a faint splash. "Good Lord!" said I. "Have you fallen in?" "Not fallen in. But I am truly in, Euan.
Then came Lois in her scarlet capuchin, eager and shy at the same time, smiling, yet with fearfulness and tenderness so strangely blended that ever her laughing eyes seemed close to tears and the lips that smiled were tremulous. "I came you see.... Are you angry?" she asked as I bent low over her little hand. "You will not chide me will you, Euan?" "No. What is done is done. Are you well, Lois?"
And at the same moment the stranger rounded the jutting shoulder of our crag, and came suddenly face to face with me in midtrail. "Euan!" So astounded was I that my rifle fell clattering from my nerveless hand as she sprang forward and caught my shoulders with both her hands. And I saw her grey eyes filling and her lips quivering with words she could not utter. "Lois!"
Conch-horns blowing the strange and melancholy music of your regiment. It seems to fill my heart with dread unutterable." "The runner is here! Euan Euan! Come back to me! "Lois de Contrecoeur." My eyes fell from the letter to the sleeping runner stretched out at my feet, then shifted vaguely toward the river.
