"Yes, and Robinson was scouting, and he was close to Garland's line, and, gosh! he said it was short enough! And Garland rode along it, and he said, said he, 'Boys, you are not many, but you are a noble few." Some listened to the booming of the sparring batteries; two or three who had lost close friends or kinsmen moped aside. The frank sympathy of all for these made itself apparent.
'And that is, said Dick, returning the pressure of Mr Garland's hand, 'that you answer me this question truly, before I take a bit or drop. Is it too late? 'For completing the work you began so well last night? returned the old gentleman. 'No. Set your mind at rest on that point. It is not, I assure you.
Why, of course, he would stand by his bargain! What else was he for he, Diarmid Garland's second son the head of the Bands, the famous defier of the press and the Preventives? Pshaw! What did all that mean to him now apples of Sodom in the mouth, an exceeding bitter fruit! What a fool he was with his airs! Would he ever have such a chance again, and he to dream of complaining!
Roderick was at this time doing his part superbly, and Miss Garland's brow was serene. It was serene now, twenty-four hours later; but nevertheless, her alarm had lasted an appreciable moment. What had become of it? It had dropped down deep into her memory, and it was lying there for the present in the shade.
He had always talked to her with frankness, but now he made her a confidant of all his hidden dejection. Roderick and Roderick's concerns had been a common theme with him, and it was in the natural course to talk of Mrs. Hudson's arrival and Miss Garland's fine smile. Madame Grandoni was an intelligent listener, and she lost no time in putting his case for him in a nutshell.
"Who's looking for me? What are you talking about ?" It was Garland's turn to pause. For a considering moment he sought his words, then he gave them in short, telegraphic sentences: "End of August. The tules opposite the Ariel Club. Twelve thousand. Whatcheer House, Sacramento. Harry Romaine."
The Thirtieth and Thirty-sixth changed front to the right and attacked the remnant of Garland's brigade, now commanded by Colonel McRae, and drove it and two regiments from G. B. Anderson's brigade back upon the wooded hill beyond Wise's farm at Fox's Gap. The whole of Anderson's brigade retreated further along the crest toward the Mountain House.
"Rather," Marion said, with a smile, and she followed it by a soft little sigh. She had not been invited to Mrs. Garland's. There was no opportunity for her to show whether she was consistent or not. IT was curious how our four girls set about enlarging the prayer-meeting. That idea had taken hold of them as the next thing to be done.
Garland's a member, you know, and dying to go into the Pavilion." "Only just to hear what they think of Teddy," the poor old boy confessed; and when we had arranged where to meet in the interval, away he hurried with his keen, worn face. Miss Belsize turned to me the moment he was gone. "I want to speak to you, Mr. Manders," she said quickly but without embarrassment. "Where can we talk?"
This attitude had often an exquisite beauty of its own, but Rowland deemed that he had solid reason to believe it never could be Mary Garland's. She was not a passive creature; she was not soft and meek and grateful for chance bounties.
