"I'll investigate, and well, I'll see." He walked away, deep in thought. The Colonel turned from him to Miss Alathea. "Miss 'Lethe, congratulate yourself. The victory is won." Frank turned upon his heel and spoke to Holton. "What do you think of this investment?" he inquired. "Wal," said Holton, "I think it's a blamed good thing. I'd only like the chance to go into it, myself."
He did not guess that Holton had been anxious that these sounds should reach him; that he had stumbled down the trail with awkward feet with no thought in his mind but to be certain that the sounds should reach him.
"He left the mountings when he found how folks was feelin' they'd have shot him, like a dog, on sight. But it don't make no differ where he goes; it don't make a bit of differ where he goes." "What do you mean by that?" the Colonel asked, and as he spoke, Holton, suddenly intent, paused in his pacing of the ledge to listen.
Holton paled with rage, but did not take another forward step. As he fell back Joe Lorey spoke.
In fact, as was proved later, several of them, notably the prime minister himself, with Dorion, Holton, and Huntington, regarded federation with suspicion and were its consistent opponents until the final accomplishment. The negotiations for the joint construction of an intercolonial railway had been proceeding for some time. These the ministry continued, but without enthusiasm.
Influential representatives, too, of the English minority in Lower Canada, like Dunkin, Holton, and Huntington, opposed it. Joly de Lotbinière, the French Protestant, warned the Catholics and the French that federation would endanger their rights.
Mr. Mr. Holton as four to three. Mr. Osgood said he did not go beyond four to three. On a question for rating them as three to two, the votes were. New Hampshire, aye; Massachusetts, no; Rhode Island, divided; Connecticut, aye; New Jersey, aye; Pennsylvania, aye; Delaware, aye; Maryland, no; Virginia, no; North Carolina, no; South Carolina, no.
"Of all the luck that some officers have!" groaned Lieutenant Trent, as he passed Dave Darrin. "How did you work it, Darrin, to secure one of the details for to-night that any subordinate officer on this ship would have been delighted to see come his way?" "I don't know," Dave laughingly admitted. "Darrin, are you hard up?" asked Lieutenant Holton, five minutes later.
Early in 1874 Mackenzie Bowell moved that Riel, who had been elected a member for Provencher, should be expelled from the House; Holton moved an amendment that action be deferred until the committee, then inquiring into the whole matter, reported; while Mousseau demanded immediate and unconditional amnesty. In the debate that followed Mr Laurier made his first parliamentary speech in English.
The old man was annoying, always, and now, after the long revery of the night before about Madge Brierly, this attitude was doubly disconcerting. "Not at all, Mr. Holton," he said, somewhat hastily. "I'm sure we'd rather you'd remain. Are you sure the others are all right?" "Close behind us." "I'll go and make sure that they do not lose their way."
