"We were all scrapping away as hard as we could one afternoon, and nearly a dozen of us got the knock, all at the same time. It's quite all right now, though, except for the stiffness. It was the gas did me in.... What a fellow Sandy is! You people must be starving." They waited for another five minutes. Then Holderness limped towards the stairs with a little imprecation. Lutchester stopped him.
These Gentiles, this rancher Holderness and this outlaw Dene, have driven my cattle, killed my sheep, piped my water off my fields. I don't like the present. We are no longer in the old days. Our young men are drifting away, and the few who return come with ideas opposed to Mormonism. Our girls and boys are growing up influenced by the Gentiles among us.
Henry, knowing that the young Englishman must have a certain feeling for his own, waited until he should choose to speak. "I'm bound to confess, old chap," said Holderness at last, "that you were right all the way through. I didn't believe you, but you knew your own friends. It was a facer for us and, 'pon my word, I don't see how they did it.
"One thing that he said, I noted: that his fancy was for farm-work, but he was not strong enough; he had as a young man some literary ambition, but never thought of attaining the reputation which had come to him. "July 31, 1883. I have had two or three rich days! On Friday last I went to Holderness, N.H., to the Asquam House; I had been asked by Mrs. T. to join her party.
Lord Holderness will only tell you, in his letter, that, as he had some reason to believe his moving this matter would be disagreeable to the King, he resolved, for your sake, not to mention it. You must answer his letter upon that footing simply, and thank him for this mark of his friendship, for he has really acted as your friend.
"Got well in no time as soon as Miss Van Teyl came along," Holderness declared. "It was a bit dreary down there at first. None of my lot were sent south, and a familiar face means a good deal when you've got your lungs full of that rotten gas and are feeling like nothing on earth. I wonder where that idiot Sandy is.
"You went up the stairs ... you were the only person who went up just at that one psychological moment! He had his pocketbook with him when he came in he told Holderness so." "And when you searched him it was gone," she remarked calmly. "Dear me!" "How do you know that I searched him?" Fischer demanded. "How dare you ask me to give away my secrets?" she replied.
Rest easy, for she's absolutely safe." "Thank God!... then that's settled." Hare drew a long, deep breath. "Mescal told us what happened, how she got caught at the sand-strip and escaped from Holderness at Silver Cup. Was Dene hurt?" "Silvermane killed him." "Good God! How things come about! I saw you run Dene down that time here in White Sage. It must have been written.
But I couldn't stay I couldn't marry Snap." "Don't blame yourself, Mescal. What Snap might have done if you had married him is guesswork. He might have left drink alone a while longer. But he was bad clean through. I heard Dave Naab tell him that. Snap would have gone over to Holderness sooner or later. And now he's a rustler, if not worse." "Then those men think Snap killed you?" "Yes."
Ferrani, seeing them still waiting, approached with a little bow. "Your friend," he asked, "he has not arrived, eh?" "No sign of him," Holderness replied gloomily. "What about his hat and coat?" Ferrani inquired, with a sudden inspiration. "Great idea," Holderness assented, turning towards the cloakroom attendant. "Don't you remember my friend, James?" he went on.
