Always remember, Euan always, always that whatever I am unkind enough to say or do to vex you, in my secret mind I know that no other man on earth is comparable to you and that you reign first in my heart first, and all by yourself, alone." "And will you try to love me some day, Lois?" "I do." "I mean " "Oh, Euan, I do I do! Only you know not in the manner you once spoke of "
Ah you do not know.... And it may be that when you do come to-night I have repented of my purposes locked up my wounded heart again. But I shall try to tell you something. For I need somebody need kindly council very sorely, Euan. And even the Sagamore now fails me on the threshold " "What?" "He means it for the best; he fears for me. I will tell you how it is with me when you come to-night.
I'll give you a letter for him and he'll place himself entirely at your disposition. Euan will take you over. Holland is on your beat, ain't it, Euan? When do you go next?" "To-morrow," said the King's Messenger. "The boat train leaves Liverpool Street at ten o'clock." "You'll want a passport," said Dulkinghorn, turning to the girl. "You've got it there? Good. Leave it with me.
"Listen!" murmured Lois, close at my elbow. "There! It comes again! Do you not hear it, Euan! That low, long, sustained and heart-thrilling undertone droning in the air through all this tumult!" And presently I heard the sound the wondrous melancholy, yet seductive music of our conch-horn. Its magic call set my every pulse a-throbbing.
"Euan, I am troubled in my heart. First, I must acquaint you that Lana Helmer and I have become friends. The night you left I was sitting in my room, thinking; and Lana came in and drew my head on her shoulder. We said nothing to each other all that night, but slept together in my room. And since then we have come to know each other very well in the way women understand each other.
"I'm very much afraid," he said to her as they walked along, "that you're butting that pretty head of yours into a wasps' nest, Mary!" "Nonsense!" retorted the girl decisively; "I can take care of myself!" "If I consent to let you go off like this," said Euan, "it is only on one condition ... you must tell Lady Margaret where you are going ..."
"Oh, Lana!" said she. "I think I may seriously consider Mr. Hake and his very evident intentions. So I shall require no more beaux, Euan, and thank you kindly for volunteering. Besides, if I want 'em, this camp seems moderately furnished with handsome and gallant young officers," she added airily, glancing around her. "Lana! Do you please observe that tall captain with the red facings!
"The long trail through the Long House straight through it, Euan, to the Western Door. That is the trail I dream of." "Who leaves these strange moccasins at your threshold every year?" "I do not know." "From where do you suppose they come?" I asked, amazed. "From Catharines-town." "Do you believe your mother sends them?" "Oh, Euan, I know it now! Until two years ago I did not understand.
I repeated, as though stupefied. "Lois!" "Oh, Euan! Euan! I thought I would never, never come up with you!" she whimpered. "I left the batteau where it touched at Towanda Creek, and hid in the woods and dressed me in the Oneida dress you gave me. Then, by the first batt-man who passed, I sent a message to Lana saying that I was going back to to join you. Are you displeased?"
But now in this sober and common guise of every day, I am neither Cinderella nor yet the Princess merely a frowsy, rustic, freckled maid with a mouth somewhat too large for beauty, and the clipped and curly poll of a careless boy. And I desire to know, once for all, how I now suit you, Euan." "You are perfection once for all." "I? What obstinate foolishness you utter! In all seriousness "
