Then, identifying Winton in the throng of workers, he forgot Virginia's presence. "Confound him!" he fumed. "I'd give a thousand dollars if he'd faveh me by showing fight so we could lock him up on a criminal count!" "Why, Uncle Somerville!" she cried. But there was no time for reproaches.
Then, in his most courteous phrase: "Did I undehstand you to say that Misteh Winton would not faveh us to-night, my deah Virginia?" "He could not. He has come upon upon some other difficulty, I believe," she stammered, steering a perilous course among the rocks of equivocation. "Mmph!" said the Rajah, rising. "Ah where is Jastrow?"
"Perhaps I shall give you back that word before we are through, Mr. Darrah," he snapped. Then to the eddying mob-wave: "Tools up, boys. We camp here for breakfast. Branagan, send the Two-fifteen down for the cook's outfit." The Rajah dropped his cigar butt in the snow and trod upon it. "Possibly you will faveh us with your company to breakfast in the Rosemary, Misteh Winton you and Misteh Adams.
But you have done no unpahdonable mischief: Misteh Winton would have found out for himself in a few hours, and we are ready for him now." "Oh, dear! Then he will be beaten?" "Unquestionably. Faveh me by going to bed, my deah. Your roses will suffeh sadly for all this excitement, I feah. Good night."
The despot of Paradise, despot now only by courtesy of the triumphant genius of modernity, put on his eye-glasses and stared Thomas into respectful rigidity. "Why, bless my soul! if it isn't Captain Gordon's boy! Well, well, you young limb! If you didn't faveh youh good fatheh in eve'y line and lineament of youh face, I should neveh have known you you've grown so. Shake hands, suh!"
We are in a world of trouble at the manor-house! Little Ardea, my grand-daughteh, was taken sick last night, and to-day she's out of huh head think of it, out of huh head! I'm riding hotfoot for Doctah Williams, but Lord of Heaven! it'll be nigh sundown befo' I can hope to get back with him. Could you, my deah madam, faveh us " Thomas Jefferson heard no more; would stay to hear no more.
Now when do you faveh me with my engine?" Thus the Rajah; and the chief clerk, himself known from end to end of the Colorado and Grand River as a queller of men, could only point out of the window to where the Rosemary stood engined and equipped for the race, and say meekly: "I'm awfully sorry you've been delayed, Mr. Darrah; very sorry, indeed. But your car is ready now.
He is a railroad man, and a right good one at that. Faveh me with the name again; Winteh, did you say?" "No; Winton Mr. John Winton." "D-d-devil!" gritted the Rajah, smiting the hand-rail with his clenched fist. "Hah! I beg your pahdon, my deahs a meah slip of the tongue."
"Hold on, men, for God's sake! There are women in that car!" The wrathful wave broke and eddied murmurous while a square-shouldered old man with fierce eyes and huge white mustaches, and with an extinct cigar between his teeth, clambered down from the Rosemary's engine to say: "Hah! a ratheh close connection, eh, Misteh Winton? Faveh me with a match, if you please, seh.
