Shock's experience of Western shacks had not been sufficiently varied and extensive to enable him to appreciate to the full this last commendation of Ike's. Ike's hesitation in making the offer determined Shock. "Thank you very much," he said cordially. "I shall be delighted to go with you."
In Uncle Ike's cottage by the light of many candles the school for boys was in session. Custis' brother "Rooney," was the teacher. He had six pupils besides Sam. Not one of them knew his lesson to-night and Rooney was furious. As Phil and Custis entered, he was just finishing a wrathful lecture. His pupils were standing in a row grinning their apologies.
He bet a hat, and on Monday he went to Putnam & Philbrick and selected one of the finest silk ones. When he went out in the street every body noticed it, and a reception was held. They all congratulated Frank, except Ike Usher. Ike's hat was a year old, and the contrast was so remarkable that Ike would not walk on the street with Hatch.
He would have limited the time to a single day, because Richmond was calling to him very strongly now, but it was necessary to buy a good horse for the journey by land, and Jarvis would not let him start until he had the pick of the region. The first evening after their arrival they sat on the porch of the mountain home. Ike's mother was with them, but old Aunt Suse had already gone to bed.
In Ike's contempt, more than in anything else, The Don read the judgment of honourable men upon his conduct, and this deepened to a degree almost unendurable his remorse and self-loathing. One morning, when the report was not so favourable, Ike stopped him with the question: "Will he git better?" "Well," said The Don gloomily, "I have not given up hope."
Stockwool again stepped down, and informed them that Ike's presence had been made known to his wife. The truant quarrier seemed rather inclined to stay where he was and finish the mug of ale, but Pierston quickened him, and he ascended the staircase. As soon as the lower room was empty Pierston leant with his elbows on the table, and covered his face with his hands. Ike was absent no great time.
Still Ike was almost too much for him, for Karlek remembered seeing him sorting out the fish as he landed them, and the big ones, somehow or other, all found their way into Ike's yaffles. Ike also discovered that it was good economy constantly to change the location of such things as the tobacco box, butter tub, and molasses jar, for it often meant that the good-natured Emile went without.
"'It had better be, he said loudly. 'And I'll take the best bed after to-night. Evidently he was eating and muttering between mouthfuls. 'You might have brought me another bottle. "'I did, said Creed, to the listening Ike's great astonishment. Turner laughed immoderately. "A long silence followed. Turner was either eating or drinking. Then he spoke again, more thickly and drowsily.
He's playing tag. The boy tripped him and laughed at him, and Ike Anderson got out his knife." He cast a red eye about him. "No, it isn't," he thought. "It's Ike Anderson, with the people chasing him. And the shotgun. Ike's growing up faster, growing right along. They all want him, but they don't get him. One, two, three, five, nine, eight, seven I could count them all once. Ike Anderson.
After the fall of the Taira, Yoritomo prayed the Court to release Ike's son, Yorimori, and to restore his rank and estates, while in Munekiyo's case he made similar offers but they were rejected. Towards his own kith and kin, however, he showed himself implacable. In Yoshitsune's case it has been indicated that there was much to awaken Yoritomo's suspicions.
