He jerked his paddle from the bottom and the current gently drew the canoe back downstream. Roger forced a smile of false triumph upon his face. He must not let Garman turn elsewhere to look for Annette. "Licked, eh, Garman?" he taunted. "I'll go back and tell Annette about it. We'll enjoy it together." The canoe was drifting down the bend.
In a moment she was on her feet: he had ventured to kiss her brow. He also rose, but still retained his grasp of her hand. "We will not tell any one about it to-day," he said reassuringly, "because of the affliction which has come upon your family. But we had better go to Mrs. Garman, and ask her blessing. With respect to your father " "No! no!" she cried; "father must not know anything about it!
I'm here on a business proposition, as I say, and business is going to be supreme on the job, and rough work a mere incident if at all." "Fair enough. What's your first move?" "To find a way out of this country without troubling friend Garman." "Sure. The dugout was the first answer. You let that go without winking an eyelid. That means you'd already figured out a second answer. What is it?"
The Consul now endeavoured to give a peaceable direction to the conversation, by consulting Johnsen on several matters relating to the National School. Mr. Garman had been for some years chairman of the school committee; for Sandsgaard was included within the limits of the town, although it was situated at a considerable distance from it.
Garman was anxious that her dress should be in keeping with the rest of the establishment, and the Consul had given Miss Cordsen strict orders on the subject. It was a great relief to Madeleine, in her loneliness, to show herself kindly and almost affectionately disposed towards the timid girl.
Delphin came in, and Fanny gave him a friendly nod, and continued, "Now, in your position as clergyman, you really must assist us to effect Mr. Delphin's conversion." "No necessity! no necessity, I assure you, Mrs. Garman," said Delphin, gaily. "My conversion is already about as perfect as it can be. Mr.

His laugh rolled over the water like the growl of a bear.

Nor shall I continue any communication or intercourse, or any association whatsoever, with the party or parties guilty of such defiance."
"Payne, if I told you that I'm afraid you'd pull up stakes and get out pronto." Payne laughed. "That would leave you broken-hearted, wouldn't it, Garman?" "No-o-o," said Garman; "but it would well it would deprive me of your company. I'm a sociable animal, Payne. I crave company; I like to have all sorts of people about me.
Payne followed a winding path through the odorous jungle and came to the tiny bungalow hidden in the heart of it all.
