No contemplation for him, but action; no angling in a clear stream for a trout or grayling; but the glorious, dangerous excitement of killing big game grizzlies, lions, African buffaloes, mountain sheep, rhinoceroses, elephants. He never spared himself: he wore himself out. But doubtless he would have chosen the crowded hour of glorious life or strife, for life and strife were with him the same.
Three of the girls were those Louise Grayling believed to be daughters of Lawford's employer. She saw that he was breaking away from the group with the intention of coming to her. L'Enfant Terrible said something to him and laughed shrilly. She saw Lawford's cheek redden. So Louise welcomed the approach of Mr. Bane, who chanced at the moment to be idle.
His preconceived prejudice against the ordinary feminine member of "The Profession" had, during his intercourse with Cap'n Abe's niece, been lulled to sleep. Miss Louder and Miss Noyes more nearly embodied his conception of actresses nice enough young women, perhaps, but entirely different from Louise Grayling.
I used to catch them there in great numbers. However, this has nothing to do with the matter, except to suggest that although Grayling are very desirable fish to introduce into the colonies, I fear they would be too impatient of heat to thrive there.
'That is what you say. 'Pardon me, it's true, else how comes it that, at this time of day, I'm without a friend in all the world? 'You! without a friend! I never knew a man who had so many! I never knew a person of whom so many men and women join in speaking well! 'Miss Grayling! 'As for never having done anything worth doing, think of what you have done.
"It would seem quite probable that he was aboard," Professor Grayling returned, "minding his p's and q's," as Louise had warned him. "But you see, Mr. Tapp, being only a passenger, I had really little association with the men forward. You know how it is aboard ship strict discipline, and all that." "Yes, sir; I see. And, after all, Cap'n Abe was a man that could easily be overlooked.
Lawford forgave the latter for befooling him in the matter of her condition in life; indeed, he realized that he had deceived himself. He had accepted the gossip of the natives Milt Baker was its originator, he remembered as true, and so had believed Louise Grayling was connected with the moving picture company. Her social position made no difference to him.
I'm wasting time, and I want my trout, and thymallus, my grayling, for man must eat, and it's very nice to eat trout and grayling, boy. Be off! I've quite done with you." And the old man turned his back, and waded a few steps upstream. "I say, Master Rayburn," continued the lad, "when you said `Bah! in that sharp way, it was just like the bark of one of the great black birds."
I cannot think what has put the idea into his head. Some girl must have been ill-using him, or he imagines that she has. The girl whom he ought to marry, and whom he ultimately will marry, is Dora Grayling. She is young, charming, immensely rich, and over head and ears in love with him; if she were not, then he would be over head and ears in love with her.
The Curlew would soon turn her bows Bostonward, the voyage having been successful from a scientific point of view. Professor Grayling even mentioned the loss of a small boat in a squall, when it had been cast adrift from the taffrail by accident. Betty, with face like a thundercloud, had brought the letter up to Louise.
