"All in!" shouted a voice, and immediately a rush was made to close the gates and prevent further entrance, when a loud cry of "Hold on, Willoughby! Rescue here!" held them back. Riddell started at the sound, and next moment had vaulted from the low window to the ground, closely followed by Fairbairn. "Rescue! rescue! Man down!" cried the school within.
"I'll take care of you, Lorelei dear; and no one shall trouble you. I hear Miss Fairbairn calling; so I must go. Give me your hand, and don't be afraid." Hand in hand the two went toward the other children, who stopped digging, and stared at the new child.
The first Cape newspaper, the South African Commercial Advertiser, edited by Pringle the poet and Fairbairn, was published in 1824, and the Grahamstown Journal, the first Eastern Province newspaper, was issued by Mr Godlonton in 1831. Schools were also established. Wool-growing began to assume an importance which was a premonition of the future staple of the Eastern Provinces.
"And likes him " said the doctor; "or he could not have a share in persuading Miss Randolph to anything." "Yes, I like him," I said. I thought, the more friends in the army I had, the better; and also, that Dr. Sandford must not be permitted to push his lines too far. "Who is Major Fairbairn?" "I do not know; he is from Maine or New Hampshire, I think."
"What a long skate you have had!" said Susy Fairbairn ruefully, for all that she was a good-tempered girl and not disposed to measure her neighbor's wheat by her own bushel.
She spoke to James Fairbairn in the presence of the detective, and told him he must absolutely have been mistaken, that she had not seen Mr. Ireland, and that she had not spoken to him. "One other person was questioned by the police, and that was Mr. Robert Ireland, the manager's eldest son.
At first he had looked nervous and uncomfortable, and had even whispered to Fairbairn, who sat next him, "Don't you think I'd better go?" "For goodness' sake, no!" exclaimed Fairbairn. "Don't be a fool, Riddell." The caution had its weight.
But as he opened the drawing-room door for her, his three children, who all this time had been in the garden, came running in at the window, and before he and Miss Fairbairn were seated, his two little boys, treading on Mrs. Walker's crape, were thrusting some large handfuls of flowers almost into her face, while Anastasia emptied a lapful on to her knees. Emily accepted them graciously.
I named Major Fairbairn; luckily also an officer whom I had known the last summer at West Point. "Nothing but officers!" she remarked in a dubious tone. "Not much else to be had here." "And nothing much better anywhere," I said, "when, one is going on horseback. They know how to ride." "All Southerners know that. By the way, Daisy, I have heard yesterday of Lieutenant Gary.
Miss Fairbairn only came last night, and she is delighted with it." "Yes," said Justina, "I only came last night;" and an air of irrepressible satisfaction spread itself over her face that Mr. Mortimer should have walked over to see her this very first morning was beyond her utmost hopes. She had caused Emily to invite her at that particular time that she might often see John; and here he was.
