"Well," says the king, "but however, considering all things, I think you would do well to take the advice Sir John Hepburn has given you."
For that whole morning President Hepburn denied himself to all callers and devoted his entire attention to Cabot's recital. When it was finished, and when the bag full of specimens had been examined, the elder man grasped the other's hand and said: "My dear boy, you have done splendidly! I am not only satisfied with you as an agent, but am proud of you as a ward.
Hepburn ceased speaking a deep stillness pervaded the gymnasium, then from all sides rose cries of "Kathleen West! Elfreda Briggs! Speech! speech!" Dr. Hepburn raised his hand for silence, and when quiet had been restored he said, "If Miss Briggs and Miss West are present, will they kindly come to the platform?" Already Elfreda's three friends were urging her forward.
'Nay, I dunnot know, said she; 'the Corneys made us acquaint first, and my master is quite fain of his company. 'And do you like him, too, aunt? asked Hepburn, almost wistfully; he had followed Mrs. Robson into the dairy on pretence of helping her. 'I'm none fond on him; I think he tells us traveller's tales, by way o' seeing how much we can swallow.
'She's bonnie an' she's guid, besides being weel tochered. She'll no' want for wooers. I say, did ye ken Walter Hepburn, that carries on auld Skinny's business noo in Colquhoun Street? 'Yes, well enough, answered Teen slowly. 'There was a time when I wad hae said the twa him an' Miss Gladys, I mean were made for ane anither, but it's no' noo.
Do you, Heppie?" "Of course I have an affection for you," Miss Hepburn returned decorously, half alarmed at so pronounced a betrayal of her inner emotions, "and naturally your grandmother " "Let's not talk about her now," Barrie pleaded. "Was my mother young when she was married?" "Quite young, I understand about nineteen." "Only nineteen not very much older than I am.
She is down on it like the lightning, quick as she is in her contracted circle, politeness guarding her from a riposte. Mr. Hepburn apologized very humbly, after regaining his chair. Diana smiled and said: 'Incidents in a drawing-room are prize-shots at Dulness. 'And in a dining-room too, added Sullivan Smith.
During the last few hundred yards of our march our track lay over some large stones amongst which I fell down upwards of twenty times, and became at length so exhausted that I was unable to stand. If Hepburn had not exerted himself far beyond his strength and speedily made the encampment and kindled a fire, I must have perished on the spot. This night we had plenty of dry wood.
Some few more details as to their mode of procedure of verifying the Fosters' statements, which to the younger men seemed a perfectly unnecessary piece of business of probable journeys and introductions, and then farewell was bidden, and Hepburn and Coulson were in the passage donning their wraps, and rather to their indignation being assisted therein by Martha, who was accustomed to the office with her own master.
It is not to be suppressed nor denied, that, in the first show of the day, Hepburn got far more credit and honour than old sedate Bannerman; for his lads were lighter in the heel, glegger in the eye, and brisker in the manoeuvres of war: moreover, they were all far more similar in their garb and appearance, which gave them a seeming compactness that the countrymen had nothing like.
