"One minute, Miss Howes," he said. "I trust you will not forget you have one friend who will be only too glad to work for Mrs. Barnes' interests and yours. I am at your service." "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Daniels. I I have no doubt we shall need your services. But please don't " John Kendrick was at her side. "Miss Howes Emily " he pleaded. "Don't misunderstand me."
Sir Georges Cartier, a man not to be named in the same breath with Howe as a statesman, was, nevertheless, a thousand times of more moment and concern with his band of Bleu followers in the House of Commons, than a dozen Howes, and the consequence is that we find for four years the great old man playing second fiddle to his inferiors, and cutting a far from heroic figure in the arena."
"Because they'd go any length to do us harm every one of 'em." Again the grip on Lucy's arm tightened painfully. Dragging the girl to the window the old woman cried: "Do you see that pile of stones over there? That's the wall the Howes built years an' years ago built because of the grudge they bore the Websters, likely. Did you ever look on such an eyesore?"
If we poor Acadians did not help each other, I'd like to know who'd help us, anyway!" It was with a light heart that Pierre slept that night, and joyfully in the morning he put away the last trace of his hated disguise. His little charge showed plainly that she considered the change an improvement. At this Breboeuf was surprised, for, as he said to Pierre, there were no Howes at Kenneticook.
"I have been told " she began. "I have been told Oh, I can't tell you! I am ashamed to repeat such wicked nonsense. Mr. Daniels may tell you; it was he who told me." John turned to his fellow practitioner. "Very well," he said. "Now, Daniels, what is it?" Heman did not hesitate. "Miss Howes has heard," he said, deliberately, "that your client, Mr. Holliday Kendrick, is determined to force Mrs.
"Don't waste time mourning over the dark past, Ted Kendall," she said severely. "Come sit down here between Margaret Howes and me, and let Margaret see how nicely you can behave since you've grown up enough to have evening clothes. She hasn't seen you since you were a little boy at Elinor's wedding, you know."
Ain't you been settin' in that office of yours waitin' and waitin' for somethin' worth while to come along? And now a really big chance does come, and you say you don't know as you'll take it! What kind of talk's that, I'd like to know!" John smiled. Miss Howes, who seemed as much surprised as the others, did not smile. "Why won't you take it?" demanded the captain. "Oh, I don't know.
When I talked with him at the Howes' he, not knowing in the least who I was or that I was your niece, expressed sympathy for Hamilton and Company and wished there were some way of helping us out of our trouble something he could do, you know. I'm not sure there isn't something he can do. At any rate, I am going to see him. I shall start for Boston Monday morning." Zoeth ventured an observation.
The service was performed under a tremendous cannonade from all the batteries on both shores, but the ships could not be stopped. Towards the middle of August it was evident that the Americans would not accept any terms in the power of the Howes to offer, and it became necessary to attempt coercion by arms.
Two of 'em have got it, carryin' it across the lawn. Ain't you 'most dressed?" "Yes, I'm coming." Fastening her belt as she went, Lucy hurried to her aunt's side. Amid the sparkling, dew-kissed glory of early morning, she could plainly see the three Howes making their way through the wet grass in the direction of their pasture.
