But at the last, having placed the woman and the children in two seats and made them comfortable, he asked the mother one question her husband's name. She told him, and, without any comment or good-bys, he left the car and started through the rain uptown.
Alcando had considerable baggage, and he was to be allowed the use of an old moving picture camera with which to "get his hand in." Blake and Joe, of course had their own machines, which had been put in perfect order. There were several of them for different classes of work. Final instructions were given by Mr. Hadley, good-bys were said, and the boys and Mr. Alcando went aboard.
She continued to wave her good-bys heroically until the corner was turned and Uncle Cliff and Miss Clyde lost to view. "Now for the unpacking, Carita. Come along. I'll help you first. That's a motherly spirit, I'm sure." "Yes, begin by spoiling me that's right!" Blue Bonnet gave the hand in hers a little squeeze. "A little spoiling won't hurt you a bit. I doubt if a great deal would.
The last night Evangelist Monteith preached on The Judgment Day, and he pictured the doom of sinners until the stillness of death pervaded the room. Great conviction rested upon the people. At the altar call several went forward and found glorious peace at the foot of the cross. The last good-bys were said with eyes brimming with tears.
Garcia kissed his fat fingers to her, took off his sombrero, waved it, bowed a dozen times, and smiled like a scared devil. Then, with other good-bys, delivered right and left from everybody to everybody, the train rumbled away. Thurstane was about to accompany it out of the town when his clerk came to tell him that the board of survey required his immediate presence.
Two loaded pack-mules and three saddle ponies were ready when the Seer had finished his business with the men. Good-bys were spoken all around and the Seer and Abe, with Jose in the lead, turned back toward the south.
"Caroline, my dear," said the major from the door into the library, "from the strenuosity in the tones of David Kildare I judge he is discussing his usual topic. Phoebe and Andrew have just gone and left their good-bys for you both." "Now, Major," demanded David indignantly, "how could you let her get away when you had her here?"
When they fell to behind us, with father, mother, and friends waving tearful good-bys from the steps, and the wheels of the mail-coach rattled over the cobblestones of the silent streets where old neighbors had set lights in their windows to cheer us on the way, out into the open country, into the wide world, our life's journey had begun.
"I hope," Bedient said suddenly, "that Rey isn't afraid of you that you are clear from the impulse that made him send me downtown." "I've been careful.... I'll help, if I can. Good-by.... Aren't 'good-bys' hideous?... But we can't be too careful.... At Treasure Island Inn?" "Yes, and where you couldn't call!" "But I shall know where you are."
At last came the creak of wheels on the snow outside, the cries of servants, the good-bys and good-wishes and congratulations from one and all to one and all; the mother's kiss to Basil and Phyllis, who were under their mother's wing; the last calls from the doorway; the light of lanterns across the fields; the slam of the pike-gate and, over the earth, white silence.
