"'I don't know what your game is or whether you think you can play the fool with me, Henshaw was saying in an ugly tone. 'But I warn you not to try it; I am not a man to be fooled. Now let us be friends again, he added in a softer tone. "It seemed as though he put out his hand for a caress, for the girl started back and I heard her say 'Never! "'Folly! he exclaimed. Then took a step forward.
"Bertram Henshaw," she flamed angrily, "if you don't go up-stairs and tend to that man up there, I shall scream. Now go! I'll be up when I can." And Bertram went. It was not so very long, after all, before Billy came in to greet her guest. She was not stately and imposing in royally sumptuous blue velvet and ermine; nor yet was she cozy and homy in bronze-gold crêpe de Chine and swan's-down.
For ten years everything that White Henshaw has looked at turned into gold. I know! All that gold he's got in that safe you can lay to that." He turned to the sailor who had first raised the question: "Money? You'll have your share of the loot if you can carry it!" They drew in their breath as if they were drinking. Hovey continued: "Now, lads, I know you're gettin' excited and impatient.
"My husband!" Then it was that Midshipman Dalzell's face had gone so suddenly gray. He fairly gasped and felt as though he were choking. "Mr. Dalzell," spoke Mrs. Henshaw, earnestly, "let us both forget that you ever spoke such unfortunate words. Let us forget it all, and let it pass as though nothing had happened at all.
That's why I brought 'im up; I wanted George to see 'im." Mrs. Henshaw looked from one to the other in wrathful bewilderment. "His living image, ain't he?" said Mr. Stokes. "This is my pal George's missis," he added, turning to Mr. Bell. "Good afternoon to you," said that gentleman, huskily. "He got a bad cold coming from Ireland," explained Mr.
There he stopped, debating with himself whether he should turn back and keep an eye on Henshaw or go on into the church where service was just beginning. It did seem absurd to imagine that Henshaw with his conveyance could be waiting there by appointment for a girl of the character and position of Edith Morriston.
Whenever I would possess myself of a landward baron, I address myself to such a confidant, who, in the present case, is called Kitt Henshaw, an old skipper upon the Tay, and who, having in his time sailed as far as Campvere, holds with Sir Patrick Charteris the respect due to one who has seen foreign countries.
That was my 'matter of course, you see," he went on bitterly. "I knew you were Mr. William Henshaw's namesake, and Calderwell had told me the story of your coming to them when you were left alone in the world. Calderwell had said, too, that " Arkwright paused, then hurried on a little constrainedly "well, he said something that led me to think Mr. Bertram Henshaw was not a marrying man, anyway."
Stokes, rudely disturbed just as he had got into bed, was the incarnation of wrath. He was violent, bitter, and insulting in a breath, but Mr. Henshaw was desperate, and Mr. Stokes, after vowing over and over again that nothing should induce him to accompany him back to his house, was at last so moved by his entreaties that he went upstairs and equipped himself for the journey.
"Old Nanc," the troop's automobile, stood in front of the old machine shop piled high with tarpaulins, cooking utensils, provisions, and a dozen and one other things that the scouts used in their summer camp, and in the driver's seat was Brad Henshaw, Dr. Lyman's chauffeur.
