And it came fast when it came; we were under bare poles, too, and I didn't expect any cordiality from the Clearing House; but, Hamil, they classed us with the old-liners, and they acted most decently. As for my little daughter well " And to his own and Hamil's embarrassment his clear eyes suddenly grew dim and he walked forward a step or two winking rapidly at the sky.
Still farther out moving dots indicated the progress of hardier swimmers; one in particular, a girl capped with a brilliant red kerchief, seemed to be already nearer to Hamil than to the shore.
So unreasoningly abrupt was the sensation of absolute distrust and dislike that it cut his leave-taking to a curt word of refusal, and he turned on his heel. "What's the matter with you? Aren't you coming with us?" asked Malcourt, reddening. "No," said Hamil. "Good-bye, Miss Wilming. Thank you for asking me."
The way to learn a country is to ride over it, fish over it, shoot over it, sail around it, camp in it that's my notion of thoroughly understanding a region. If you're going to improve it you've got to care something about it begin to like it find pleasure in it, understand it. Isn't that true, Mr. Hamil?" "Yes in a measure "
"That never happened, Mr. Hamil." "No," he said, "it never did." A slight colour remained in his face; hers was cool enough. "Did you think it happened?" she asked. He shook his head. "No," he repeated seriously, "I know that it never happened." She said: "If you are quite sure it never happened, there is no harm in pretending it did.... What was it you called me?"
"He'd never win at a bench-show," observed her father, lighting his pipe an out-of-door luxury he clung to. "Shiela, you little minx, what makes you look so unusually pretty? Probably that wild-west rig of yours. Hamil, I hope you gave her a few points on grassing a bird. She's altogether too conceited.
At the door he stood aside for her to pass; but again she paused and turned to Hamil, irresolute, confused, not even daring to analyse what sheer instinct was clamouring; what intuition was reading even now in his face, what her ears divined in his unsteady voice uttering some commonplace to thank her for the day spent with him.
When he had sealed and directed the letter he could find no stamp; so he left it on the table. "That's the usual way they find such letters," he said, smiling to himself as the thought struck him. "It certainly is hard to be original.... But then I'm not ambitious." He found another sheet of paper and wrote to Hamil: "All the same you are wrong; I have always been your friend.
The second was from New York: "Deal off come to New York immediately Carhart." Within a week things had happened. Hamil quarrelled furiously and violently defended his scheme. He was summoned to New York and spent a bad half-hour on the carpet in Peter Carhart's office.
"I suppose you'll go to Luckless Lake," observed Hamil, pausing beside Malcourt in his walk. "Yes. There's plenty to do. We stripped ten thousand trout in October, and we're putting in German boar this spring." "I should think your occupation would be fascinating." "Yes? It's lonely, too, until Portlaw's camp parties begin. I get an overdose of nature at times.
