"It's easier to have you with me, Uncle Calvin," returned Sylvia naïvely. The judge felt the embarrassment of guilt. This was the result of his leaving Martha to bear the heat and burden of Hotel Frisbie alone. Hers had been the hours of tears and anxiety.
During that week he had made a discovery, and since he believed it to be all his own, he journeyed eastward to share it quickly with his chief. Ford was dining alone at the Brown Palace when Frisbie, coming straight from the Plug Mountain train, found him.
"I says: "'And so will I be at hand, my lord. "And sure 'nough, I goes and steals inter my lordship's dressing room, unbeknown to anybody, and I hides myself ahind one ob dem thick curtains! And presently sure 'nough my lordship he comes in and rings for Mr. Frisbie. Marse Ishmael, honey, would you mind givin' of your poor old Aunt Katie another tumbler o' rum?
"To enough to make your share, as head of the construction department, touch ten thousand a year, on a job as big as ours with a liberal provision for Mr. Frisbie, besides."
The execution of Frisbie, the death of the viscount, the conviction of Mrs. Dugald, and the act of the Earl of Hurstmonceux, really, as you say, leave us free to go home. I myself, as well as Claudia, pine for my home. And you, Ishmael, though you have not said so, have sacrificed already too much of your professional interests to our necessities. You should be at your office.
If this rock-bound, sea-walled dwelling-place, which had evidently been built rather for a fortification than for a family residence, struck terror to the heart of Claudia, what effect must it have had upon the superstitious mind of poor old Katie, riding in the fly behind, when Mr. Frisbie was so good as to point it out to her with the agreeable information that it was to be her future home.
Peter was delighted, and Miss Frisbie had a private and confidential interview with Peter's boss. But afterwards Peter wasn't quite so delighted, for he realized what Guffey had done. Peter's future wife had been told all about Peter's weakness, and how Peter's boss looked to her to take care of her husband and make him walk the chalkline.
"I shall wait one more day, because you want me to," he said, resuming the conversation which had been broken off by Penfield's incoming. "But I'll tell the truth: I came here to-night to have it over with. We were as near quarreling to-day as I want to come, and if Frisbie hadn't got between " "Good Mr. Frisbie!" she said. "Some day I hope to get a chance to be very nice to him." Ford laughed.
Frisbie was sitting up for him when he reached the white tents of the engineers' camp pitched a little apart from the MacMorrogh conglomeration of shacks and storehouses. "Just one question," said the first assistant, "and I've been staying awake to ask it. Are you still my boss?" "For one more day," said Ford shortly. "Well, we can't live more than a day at a time, if we try.
Of course you can't stay, you must come and be made decent. Susan shall finish your dolls' wash." "Oh, no! please Mamma, it's so much nicer to do 'em ourselves," pleaded Lulu. "Don't let Susan touch them. We love so to wash. Dinah says we're worth our wages, we do it so well." "Dinah should not say such things," said Mrs. Frisbie, severely, leading the unwilling flock upstairs.
