On the evening of the same day the stranger desired Paudeen Gair to take a place for him in the "Fly," which was to return to Dublin on that night. He had been furnished with a letter from Father M'Mahon, to whom he had, in Mr. Birney's, fully disclosed his name and objects.
Dempster, the Worsleys, Edmund Wallace, Fairfax Taylor, Sir A. Grant, the Colebrookes, came to stay with us; and Colvile. Reeve wrote: The sun is again ruling the day and the moon the night, to the very great glory of Loch Gair. Dempster, to whom we talked of seclusion, and who did not expect a cabinet minister, a very 'swell' admiral, and sundry fine ladies. Mr. October 2nd. Left Loch Gair.
Gair downstairs, as she had done that day a week before, and as he passed out caught his hand in a grip of iron. "I'm a woman of few words, Dr. Gair," she said abruptly, "but I won't forget what you've done for me an' mine." "God first, Miss Strong," said the doctor gravely; and then he added with an odd little smile, "Lucy's lines will be in pleasant places now, I fancy?"
John Binet came to Loch Gair, straight from Geneva. Mrs. Reeve wrote of him: 'It is his first visit to North Britain, and his enthusiasm at 62 is quite delightful to witness. He travelled here from Paris without stopping, and though a good deal tired and half-starved, was ready for a walk that afternoon and for climbing hills the next morning.
She grew perceptibly weaker, and they feared to leave her a moment, lest she should slip away while they were gone. So the days went by till Sunday came round again. Dr. Gair came early that morning, and looked, if possible, graver than usual. "If she lives till evening," he said to the anxious watchers, "she will recover, but I cannot give you much hope.
Of these 66 were won: 3 lost: 5 drawn: goals for 217: goals against 45. Patterson, 2nd. Lt. Gourlay, Pte. Davidson, Pte. Buchanan, Pte. Thomson, Sgt. Fyall, Pte. Gair. Sitting Sgt. Goodall, Lt.-Col. Ogilvie, Pte. M'Guffog, Cpl. Davis, Capt. Andrew. In front Pte. Petrie, Pte. Moir. The Divisional Cross Country Run was also won by us, and we were selected to run in the Inter-Corps Run.
The night's not at all so cowld as you think, an' we'll keep one another warm enough wid-out it, never fear." "Troth you do want it," said Sullivan; "for fareer gair, it's the light coverin' that's over you an' them, poor boys. Heighho, Dan, see what innocence is poor things, they're sound already an' may God pity them an' provide for them, or enable me to do it!"
"This is a case of gross neglect, Miss Strong," he said at length. "The girl's delicate frame is thoroughly exhausted by over-fatigue and want of attention." "Tell me something I don't know, Dr. Gair," said she sharply. "And if she recovers, of which I am more than doubtful," he continued sternly, "it is to be hoped you will turn over a new leaf in your treatment of her.
"Do you want to kill me outright, Lucy?" said her aunt; and even in her weakness Lucy opened her eyes wide in surprise. "If you speak about goin' to yer ma again," she said, "ye will kill me. Ye've got to lie there an' get better as fast as you like. I'll send for Dr. Gair, an' nurse ye night and day." Aunt Hepsy could have said a great deal more, but a something in her throat prevented her.
I was engaged all the autumn at Loch Gair in revising the press of 'The Greville Memoirs' and in preparing a new edition of the 'Democracy in America. We left Loch Gair on October 8th: and after visits to Abington, Ormiston and Minto, returned to London on the 26th. The publication of the first part of 'The Greville Memoirs' took place on October 17th.
