When he entered the dining-room they thought that they had never beheld such a fine-looking boy. Their hearts swelled with pride, and Mrs. Royal secretly brushed away a tear with the corner of her apron. Rod told them all about what they had done in the city, about Peter McDuff, the parade, and how the Hillcrest troop was going to enter the contest for the prize.
Jude again bent toward her over his hands clenched close. "It means everything," he panted, "and you know it. I've always liked you best of anything on earth ever since I went to school, to please you, over to Hillcrest; ever since I tried to keep from the Black Cat, because you asked me to.
Tom's taste in cigars and claret I had always respected, while the lady inhabitants of Hillcrest were, according to my memory, much like those of every other suburban village, the fairest of their sex. Three days later I made the hour and a half trip between New York and Hillcrest, and hired a hackman to drive me over to Tom's.
The church at Hillcrest had many more seats than members, and as but few summer visitors had yet appeared in the town, I was conscious of being industriously stared at by the native members of the congregation.
Then her mind went back to that terrible night when she had carried him to the door of the rectory, and left him to the mercy of those within. And now she was looking upon his name in the paper. He was hers, and yet he did not know her. It seemed to Rod that the steamer would never reach Hillcrest wharf.
We know that we've done right, and I think we should fall in line with the Governor's idea, and try to give the visitin' troops a good time." "So do I," Rod replied. "Though we can't get the prize, it will be nice to meet the other scouts, see how they march, and what they look like. I think it will be great to have them come to Hillcrest."
It's all in the playing now. I've had one eye on you all along, Joyce. I've seen, like any kind father might, that there ain't a young feller between here and Hillcrest but would be glad to have you. But like a rap on the shut eye it has just been sprung on me that Myst. has had his mind on you as well!" Joyce's eyes dilated and the colour rose through her soft paleness, but she did not speak.
He was condemned to a term in Dorchester Penitentiary, and in addition, he had to settle for all the logs he had stolen from people along the river. The three boatmen were let off with a fine and a warning. The city papers made the most of this affair, and the day after the arrest they had long columns telling of what the Hillcrest troop had done.
What'll you have, Filmer?" "Plain soda," Jock replied and walked up to the bar. Tate almost reeled under the blow. "Plain thunder!" he gasped, thinking Jock was joking. But Filmer fixed him with a mirthless stare. "Plain soda, and no monkeying with it." The air became electrical. "Been away?" Murphy tried to break the spell. "Over to Hillcrest on business." Jock was gulping down the soda.
I've worked all that out, Drew, I've been to Hillcrest to talk the beginnings over with a little lawyer fellow who's had my confidence all along. I'm going back where I fell, Drew, in the start. I'm going back there where the loss of her the mother's laugh and song will grip the hardest and where the antidote will be the easiest to get.
