Leichhardt's description at the point where they had supposed that they should strike it, made it stony and timbered with iron-bark and box. Now, since leaving the Einasleih they had not seen a single box or iron-bark tree, or a stone. Frank Jardine therefore determined to push out to thenorth-east, and again seek this seemingly apocryphal stream.
"As far away as possible, I hope. I don't like its look," Miss Jardine remarked. Festing agreed with her. So far as he could see, the descent looked forbidding, but there was no sign of the sky's clearing, and it was obvious that they must get down. The thunder had gone, but the mist brought a curious, searching damp, and a cold wind had begun to blow. He was glad to think Helen knew the way.
"By the rings of Saturn," swore Loring softly, "Jardine and Bangs were brave men. They practically forced us to pile out when they saw they were going to crack up." He turned to Mason. "Didn't they, Al?" "Yeah, yeah, sure brave men," Al Mason agreed. "Nothing to be done for them now, of course," said Stefens. "What happened?"
Instead he replied gravely, "I had to come, because Mr. Jardine wanted Grenville's opinion on a particular native question, and it was a difficult matter to explain in a letter." "Then I mustn't hinder you." And she stood aside. "Of course you are thinking of starting back to-night and are in a great hurry?" And then for once the man's armour failed him.
Highly pleased, Mrs Jardine gave him a tap with her fan. "Oh, you quiet young men are just as naughty as the rest with your compliments, indeed! But if I were to repeat to you what a little bird told me, you would never, never betray me?" Earnest assurances on Gerrard's part. "Well, then, I hear that Miss Cinnamond is not very happy at home!" "I am sorry to hear it," said Gerrard mechanically.
Jardine, rushed back to his sister to say that there was a Cheap Jack in front of the 'Royal Oak. 'Oh, he has been there for a long time ever since the beginning of the year, said Ida; 'he is quite an institution. 'What's an institution? asked Vernon. 'Something fixed and lasting, don't you know.
So she knew much that was true of Alexander Jardine, but likewise entertained a sufficient amount of misapprehension and romancing. Out of it all came, however, for the dale, and for the women at White Farm who listened to the burn's voice, a sense of trustworthiness. Elspeth, walking by Glenfernie, felt kindness for him.
'Byron used to drink soda-water at dinners when he was the rage in London society, he said. 'It was chic, and Byron was like Sara Bernhardt he would have done anything to get himself talked about. 'I should have thought the fame he won by "Childe Harold" would have satisfied him, without any outside notoriety as a total abstainer, said Mr. Jardine.
Not for worlds would she have questioned Bessie upon this subject: not even Bessie, whose childish love so invited confidence, before whose tender eyes she could never feel ashamed. After that little talk about Brian Walford there followed a good deal of talk about Mr. Jardine.
Surely you may go home with me, if you'd like." "I can think of only one thing I'd like better," he said. "We've been such good friends here and had such a good time, it would be the thing I'd like best to take you home with us, and show you where and how we live. Mother, did you ever invite Kate to visit us?" "I have, often, and she has said that she would," replied Mrs. Jardine.
