"Come now, William John, don't be so cross. I thought you'd rather have me home, but I'll go, if you want me to." "Honest, now?" "Yes, honest. I'll go anywhere to please you. I must be off to the store now. Goodbye." Thus committed, Bertie took his courage in both hands and went. The next evening at dusk found him standing at Doctor Forbes's door with a very violently beating heart.
I quite agree on little occasional internavigation between lands when once pretty well stocked with inhabitants, but think this does not apply to rising and ill-stocked islands. I wish I had given fuller abstract of my reasons for not believing in Forbes's great continental extensions; but it is too late, for I will alter nothing. I am worn out, and must have rest.
"Well, just where are we and which way ought we to go to reach Wherren's wharf?" "We are now down near Forbes's Island, and " "Forbes's Island!" screamed Aunt Stanshy. "Did you ever!" "And my compass says if one wants to get up river, he must go in a direction directly opposite to that which you are now taking!" The apothecary's face fell several inches, Charlie thought.
MacTaggart, and I don't think it's mentioned in Forbes's 'Institutes. Fifteen Campbell assessors and the baron bailie might have sent a man to the Plantations on that dittay ten years ago, but we live in different times, Mr. MacTaggart different times, Mr. MacTaggart," repeated the writer, tee-heeing till his bent shoulders heaved under his seedy, ink-stained surtout coat.
What I cannot understand is why no inquiry has been made by telephone or otherwise concerning Miss Forbes's flight to Eastbourne." The words had hardly left his mouth when the bell of a telephone on the table jangled. The coincidence was so peculiar that Winter laughed. "Some other person shares my opinion, I fancy," he said. "May I answer, Miss Forbes?"
This girl, with the daring and wistful eyes, was simply fishing, so he guessed. His guess was correct. Mendacity was not outside of Miss Forbes's easy code when enlisted in a good cause, such as appeasing her own impish curiosity.
Your mother answered, and he said that you were in Eastbourne, and had sent him to bring you to the hotel. He said the car belonged to a Doctor Somebody, but he himself looked like a foreigner." A few others had gathered around, attracted by Evelyn Forbes's pallor and distress; Winter, too, had drawn near, and it was he who said: "Did you see this stranger who brought the message?"
The hotel manager lent coats to the men, and they started, not without hearty congratulations from several people in the porch, whose fears on Mrs. Forbes's account Theydon had dissipated when he went out to order the car.
The war never ended until Virginia and Pennsylvania where the Quaker element still prevailed were aroused from their apathy and gave the requisite aid to an expedition under the command of an able officer, Colonel Bouquet, who had been one of Brigadier Forbes's officers during the campaign of 1759 in the Ohio valley.
But he was instantly and effectually brought back to a dour sense of reality by Evelyn Forbes's next words. She, by chance, looked at Theydon just as she had looked at him the previous night. "Were you at Daly's Theater last night?" she inquired suddenly. "Yes," he said. Then, finding there was no help for it, he went on: "You and I have hit on the same discovery, Miss Forbes.
