Colonel Howell was awaiting the boys, Ewen and Miller being already at work on the blazing well, and he seemed to have something on his mind. "Would there be any great danger," he began at once, addressing Norman, "in making a short flight in your airship in weather like this?" "This isn't bad," volunteered Roy. "It's only a few degrees below zero.
Ewen Cameron was protected, and his son has now a farm from the Laird of Col, in Mull. The family of Col was very loyal in the time of the great Montrose, from whom I found two letters in his own hand-writing. The first is as follows.
But Nora often gives me a deal of trouble and if she takes to imitating Connie, and wanting to go about without a chaperon, I don't know what I shall do. My dear Ewen, do you know what I discovered last night?" Mrs. Hooper rose and stood over her husband impressively. "Well what?" "You remember Connie went to bed early.
She had got another job of copying work at the Bodleian, for which she was being paid by the University Press, and what with that and the work for her coming exam, she was "pretty driven." But that was what suited her. Alice and her mother were "all right." "And Uncle Ewen?" said Connie. Nora paused a moment.
Colonel Howell thought a moment and then slapped the young man on the back. Without a word, he hurried to the two workmen and in a few moments Ewen and Miller had begun digging into the frozen ground. Colonel Howell's orders were for them to make a trench about four feet wide and extending toward the river about twenty feet.
"My father and mother knew him in Rome, Aunt Ellen. He used to come to our apartment. Is Uncle Ewen in the study? I want to speak to him." She knocked and went in. Standing with her back to the door she said abruptly "I hope you won't mind, Uncle Ewen, but I've been buying a few things we want, for my room and Annette's. When I go, of course they can be turned out.
Ewen Hooper shook his head. "That's all wrong. One should be young and taste being young, every moment, every day that one can. I wish I'd done it now that I'm getting old." "You're not old!" cried Nora. "You're not, father! You're not to say it!" And kneeling down by him, she laid her cheek against his shoulder, and put one of his long gaunt hands to her lips.
The colonel took a long draw on his cigar and at last found his old-time smile. "At first," he said, "it looked simple enough. So far as this letter is concerned, I'm not bothered. That is, I'm not afraid of Ewen and Miller. But Chandler's proposition is another matter. It's plain enough that he wanted our men to join him and go to Edmonton and file papers on this claim.
In his discussion with Norman on the way back, it had been decided that the letter had probably been written by one or the other of these men and that its appearance might cause embarrassment. Both Ewen and Miller had been very curious about the settlement at Pointe aux Tremble, but they had asked no questions that connected Chandler with the place.
He went with us to Sicily once. And Uncle Ewen likes him immensely." "He is of course a paragon," said Falloden. Constance glanced mockingly at her companion. "I don't see why he should be called anything so disagreeable. All we knew of him was that he was delightful! So learned and simple and modest the dearest person to travel with! When he left us at Palermo, the whole party seemed to go flat."
