"Oh, come, come, Murray," cried the doctor reproachfully; "don't talk so to the boy. He's speaking the truth, I'll vouch for it. Afraid? Rob Gowan's boy afraid? Pooh! he's made of the wrong sort of stuff."
You don't need him, and you won't need him," argued the puncher. "Well, he helps keep Chuckie entertained. With you and him both on the place, she might conclude to stay over the winter, this year." Gowan's mouth straightened to a thin slit. "Better send her to Denver right off." "Look here, Kid," reproved the cowman. "You've had your chance, and you've got it yet.
But his words showed me as soon as he began to speak that he had been thinking much on the subject. "I don't like this prolonged carnival of Gowan's," he remarked to me. "It's doing no good. I hear of unlimited drinks at Larrigie day after day for all who choose to ask.
Really that's the state of the case. What could Clennam say after this? His retiring character included a great deal that was simple in the best sense, because unpractised and unused; and in his simplicity and modesty, he could only say that he was happy to place himself at Mr Gowan's disposal. Accordingly he said it, and the day was fixed.
She had other ideas for her daughter. "Come, make a stagger," said Little O'Grady encouragingly. "Take that other big room down there next to Gowan's. I'll cough up a few for you, and I'll let you have all the traps of mine you need. Take the Aztec jars and both the priceless Navajos that I have clung to through all my days of misery and privation." Prochnow made the move.
"Good-bye!" came from out of the darkness, and again, "Good-bye!" in the voices of Colonel Forbes and his son Drew. Lastly, and very faintly heard, Sir Robert Gowan's voice floated over the heaving sea: "Au revoir!"
We hope it may be another means of bringing us together. 'They are friends, said Mrs Gowan, 'of Mr Gowan's family. I have not yet had the pleasure of a personal introduction to Mrs Merdle, but I suppose I shall be presented to her at Rome. 'Indeed? returned Fanny, with an appearance of amiably quenching her own superiority. 'I think you'll like her. 'You know her very well?
"Give me your word as a gentleman that you will go to her and return at once, and I will let you cross to Lady Gowan's apartments without an escort." "Escort, sir?" said Frank wonderingly. "Well, without a corporal and a file of men as guard." "Oh, of course I'll come back," said the boy, smiling. "I'm not going to run away." "Go, then, at once."
"Yes, indeed; anything I can," eagerly responded Ashton. Gowan's face darkened at sight of the smile with which the girl rewarded the tenderfoot. Yet instead of sulking, he joined in the evening's entertainment of the guests with a zeal that agreeably surprised everyone. His guitar playing won genuine praise from the Blakes, though both were sophisticated and critical music lovers.
"Mr Gowan, I am delighted to find my prayer has not been vain. Let me introduce you to our friends here of the club. We look upon this as a home, where we are all perfectly at our ease; and we wish our visitors our neophytes to feel the same. Gentlemen, let me introduce my guest, Mr Frank Gowan. I think some of you have heard his father's Sir Robert Gowan's name."
