And I used to love to see the way Gil's face would light up when she came into a room or place where he was. Amanda Perkins, she says to me once, "Anne Douglas and Gil Martin are most terrible struck on each other." And she said it in a tone that indicated that it was a dreadful disgraceful and unbecoming state of affairs. Amanda had a disappointment once and it soured her.
There is no prince in Europe so trustworthy or so good to his servants. She sighed with infinite content, and blessed him in a feeble whisper. 'And if you live, she went on, 'you will rebuild the old house, Gaston. The walls are sound yet. And the oak in the hall was not burned. There is a chest of linen at Gil's, and a chest with your father's gold lace but that is pledged, she added dreamily.
He lurched, tried to steady himself and then went down limply. Jean dropped her gun and darted toward him, her face like chalk, as she turned it for one horrified instant toward Burns. She went down on her knees and lifted Gil's head, looking at the red blotch on his temple and the trickle that ran down his cheek.
She was not sure whether he nodded, but she acted upon the supposition that he did, and took the lead-rope from Gil's hand. "Shall I be hurried and worried and shall I sob?" she asked, with the little smile at the corners of her eyes and just easing the line of her lips. Robert Grant Burns seemed to make a quick decision. "Sure," he said. "You saw the action as Miss Gay went through it.
If I turn around, there will have to be a re-take, he says; and you won't like that, Gil, not after you've heard a bullet zip past your ear so close that it will fan your hair. Are aren't you afraid of me, Gil?" "Afraid of you?" Gil's horse swung closer, and Gil's eyes threatened the opening of a tacitly forbidden subject.
Jest before we git to Beaver Dam, there's a deep gut that runs 'longside of it fer a hundred yards or more. Foller me in there, Leander, an' stay hid till I sez move. Don't speak a word, from the time we push off till I sez so. Beaver Dam is the lonesomest creek in the world, an' mebbe Gil's little sister is kept in one of them ol' shacks what muskrat hunters live in, in the spring an' summer.
The three had turned to face him, warned by Gil's exclamation, and found themselves looking at the ominous bar of light which was his sword. Cornered like rats, they took small comfort from the odds. They were ready to surrender, still readier to run, and they stood on their defence with no fight in their faces, whining in their several patois. All but the man from the south.
And he backed into the alcove, happier than he had been in a long time. "You hear that?" Hardy said to his daughter. "I do," she answered, "and he's right." "What's that?" said her surprised father. "It is Gil's, and to take advantage of him isn't fair. You know it as well as I do, too!" She stamped her little foot. "Say, you don't think you love him again, do you?" Hardy wanted to know.
"Mis' Pell," he said, twirling his chair so that he caught a better glimpse of her. "Yes?" she said, half-way down. "You and Gil's old friends, ain't you?" The question was as direct as anything could be. "Yes," was the equally direct answer. "Want to do him a good turn?" asked the scheming old man. "Of course. What do you mean?" She was at his side now.
How gratefully Sponge's inquiry if he knew Mr. Romford fell on his ear, as they sat moodily together after dinner over some very low-priced port. Know Charley Romford Facey, as they call him. Gilroy, of Queercove Hill. 'Just so, rejoined Sponge, 'just so; that's the man stout, square-built fellow, with backward-growing whiskers. I'm going to stay with him to shoot at old Gil's.
