Do you write to that tailor down at Keswick, and say that you want to see him." "Will that be regular, Sir William?" "I'll stand the racket, Mr. Flick." Mr. Flick did write to Thomas Thwaite, and Thomas Thwaite came up to London and called at Mr. Flick's chambers. When Thomas Thwaite received his commission he was much rejoiced. Injustice would be done him unless so much were owned on his behalf.
Again Pearl laughed wickedly. "You tramp woman! Why would you rather hunt bear or mountain lions than shoot squirrels? Because there's danger in it." She laughed mirthlessly. "I guess it's for the same reason that I got to hunt the biggest game there is man, and he hunts me." Mrs. Nitschkan relighted her pipe. "Bob Flick's your best bet," she remarked impersonally.
Gallito was about to answer and then, suddenly, he seemed to stiffen, his hand, which was conveying a match to his cigarette, remained motionless, the flame of the match flared up and then went out in a gust of wind. "Look, Bob, look," he said, in a low voice. "What do you see out there?" Flick's eyes, keener even than his, swept the desert.
For the first time she left the doorway in which she had remained protectingly, and ran forward to meet the two who were rapidly mounting the hill. "Oh, Bob!" she cried. "Oh, Hughie! I knew you two wouldn't go back on me. I knew you'd come sooner or later, both of you." Hughie clung to her, one arm around her, and Flick's hard and impassive face softened a little as he gazed at her.
"Yes," she answered, slowly, "the first time I was in Old Place, Timmy Tosswill's dog frightened me out of my wits." "That's very strange," said the doctor, "Flick's such a mild-mannered dog." Enid Crofton lifted herself up from her reclining position. "Dr. O'Farrell! I wouldn't say so to anyone but you, but don't you think there's something uncanny about Timmy Tosswill?
Now, there isn't a man living that wouldn't have taken it under the circumstances " she spoke with a deliberately cruel emphasis, and Flick's shoulders contracted a little as the dart pricked him "unless it was some mix-up about a woman." "It's about a woman, all right," grimly. "What about her?" Pearl's voice cut the air like the swift, downward stroke of a whip.
Those who saw the party enter the hall would, if they thought about the matter at all, take it for granted that the stranger was some friend of Bob Flick's who had come up with him on the train.
What an extraordinary thing! Surely that dog, walking by the stranger, was Flick Flick, having escaped from the stable, and behaving for all the world as if the stranger were his master. But again there fell on his ears Flick's distant squeals of anger and annoyance and he felt a queer sensation of relief.
Hanson, but, learning through Hughie that that lady lived up near her mine on a mountainside two miles out of the village, and only occasionally, and at irregular intervals, visited the camp, Pearl realized the difficulties in the way of catching a glimpse of her and contented herself with Bob Flick's description of her.
According to his theory, Timmy's subconscious self could in some utterly inexplicable way build up an image of what was in the minds of those about him. "Perhaps I have," she confessed in a very low voice. "My husband had a favourite terrier called Dandy, Flick's father in fact.
