Nevertheless, Gladwyne was really guiltless in one respect he had not desired his cousin's death; he would have gone back to the rescue had he not dreaded that he would share George's fate. Lack of courage had been his bane, and it was so now, for instead of speaking to Batley he temporized.
Gladwyne," Nasmyth declared. There was silence for a while, and then Lisle spoke again. "I'm badly worried; any move of mine would lead to endless trouble and yet there's the black blot on the memory of the man to whom I owe so much; I can't bring myself to let it remain. Besides all this, there's another complication." "Young Crestwick's somehow connected with it," Nasmyth guessed.
Allowing for his generosity in thinking first of Millicent, he was a little too practical and dispassionate. She did not think he was very greatly in love with the girl as yet, and that was consoling. What Millicent thought she did not know, but in many respects the man was eminently likable. Mrs. Gladwyne had grown fond of him; but that must not be allowed to stand in her son's way.
It's curious that you seem proud of it. In this case, I don't mind your keeping me, because they can't drive up the birds until we have crossed the higher moor. It will annoy Gladwyne and his keeper, and I'm not pleased with either of them. I wanted Flo Marple's station at the first butts." Lisle considered this.
He strode away toward the packers' fire, quite aware that he had not behaved in a very seemly way, but still consumed with indignation against Gladwyne. When he had disappeared, Clarence looked up. "I'm sorry if we have given you unnecessary trouble; but does your guide often adopt that rather hectoring tone?" His languid contempt roused Crestwick.
Gladwyne any lunch to carry with him when he left camp?" Lisle asked the man. "I was busy when he came along and I told him to look around for himself. I think he took some canned stuff and there was quite a big loaf missing." "Bring the box you keep the canned goods in!" The cook produced it. "There's two meat cans gone, anyway," he remarked. "Looks as if Mr.
This, he had informed them, would shorten the journey a good deal, and he expected to fall in with some Indians, from whom canoes could be obtained, once they had crossed the divide; failing this, they might be compelled to retrace their steps. It was up the forbidding hollow they had lately reached that George Gladwyne had doggedly plodded, faint with hunger, on his last journey.
Crestwick rushed madly at the hedge, and scrambling through, badly scratched and bareheaded, found Nasmyth trying to drag Lisle clear of the bay. The Canadian's eyes were half open, but there was no expression in them; one arm and shoulder looked distorted, and his face was gray. Half-way across the field Gladwyne was struggling savagely with the plunging chestnut.
In her dress as well as in her manner Bella was usually distinguished by something unconventional and picturesque. She was not pleased to see Batley standing beside the table at which Gladwyne sat, but the man gathered up some papers when he noticed her. "I've explained the thing, Gladwyne, and I expect Miss Crestwick will excuse me," he said.
"If you don't like it, I'll try another," Lisle returned curtly. "You'll give Batley his orders to leave the lad alone right now." Gladwyne rose with his utmost dignity, a fine gentleman whose feelings had been outraged by the coarse attack of a barbarian; but Lisle waved his hand in a contemptuous manner. "Stop where you are; that kind of thing is thrown away on me.
