"Not that. That alone would have been nothing; but, coupled with other circumstances, it assumed a certain weight. Hamish, I will tell you. Do you remember the trouble you were in at the time owing money in the town?" A smile parted Hamish's lips; he seemed half inclined to make fun of the reminiscence. "I remember it well enough. What of that?"
Why are you looking so sad?" reiterated Hamish, who could not fail to perceive that there was some strange grief at work. "Is my life so sunny just now, that I can always be as bright as you?" retorted Arthur for Hamish's undimmed gaiety did sometimes jar upon his wearied spirit. "I shall go to Dove and Dove's if they will take me," he added, resolutely.
"Now, Hamish," he said, smiling behind the candle as he held the wax in it for the seal, "can you do as much again?" "Where? When?" demanded Hamish, in surprise. "To Virginia. To-night." Hamish's eyes stretched very wide. "You won't wait for Governor Bull? The officers at Fort Prince George said they would lay their lives that Governor Bull would respond." "We must try Virginia, too.

A laughing glance that came to her over the top of Hamish's book dispelled her momentary anger, however.
Her pains were bestowed unnecessarily. The sun rose high above the heavens, and not the fleetest stag in Breadalbane, were the hounds at his heels, could have sped, to save his life, so fast as would have been necessary to keep Hamish's appointment. Her purpose was fully attained her son's return within the period assigned was impossible.
"Fonny! Fonny!" with the terrible look of malevolent ridicule with which Willinawaugh had rebuked Hamish's poor pleasantries on that heart-breaking journey hither. Odalie's pulses seemed to cease to beat. The child could hardly have remembered an incident of so long ago without some recent reminder. "Where, Josephine? Where did you see Willinawaugh?"
Now these references to foreign parts only stung Hamish's pride, and when they did arrive at London Bridge he was determined to show no surprise whatever. He stepped into the four-wheeled cab that Colin Laing chartered, just as if four-wheeled cabs were as common as sea-gulls on the shores of Loch-na-Keal.
