"Ah! it is well for you to speak of a 'urry, my good Van; but it is not you who go to execute your life. No, I 'ave not the force to go to-day. To-day I go to make a long walk. Then this night I sleep well. Tomorrow, in the morning, do I go to affront my destiny." And from this resolution Jaune was not to be moved.
This change she could only partly conceal from him under her veil. She asked him many questions about Tête Jaune and the Blacktons, and tried to take an interest in the scenery they were passing. In spite of this he could see that she was becoming more and more nervous as they progressed toward the end of their journey.
I can't tell her yet. It wouldn't be the square thing. And yet she won't remain in Tête Jaune very long. Her mission is accomplished. And if if she goes I can't very well follow her, can I, Mac?" For a space old Donald was silent. Then he said, "You're thinkin' of me, Johnny, an' what we was planning on?" "Partly." "Then don't any more. I'll stick to you, an' we'll stick to her. Only " "What?"
The stage road from Douglas to Lillovet is described as complete, and that from Lillovet to Alexandria as in progress, as also the machinery of a stern-wheel steamboat for the water communication between Alexandria and Tete Jaune Cache. The road communication between Tete Jaune Cache and Edmonton is represented as the only necessary work beyond Alexandria, and may be opened for 50,000l.
Silent, his head bowed a little, John Aldous stood before her after those last words. She was going to Tête Jaune to find her husband! He had not expected that. For a breath, as he looked out toward the bush, his mind was in a strange daze. A dozen times she had given him to understand there was no husband, father, or brother waiting for her at the rail-end.
The words, and the manner in which they were spoken, made the other glance quickly at her companion. "It is a strange place to go Tête Jaune," she said. "It is a terrible place for a woman." "And yet you are going?" "I have friends there. Have you?" "No." The girl stared at her in amazement. Her voice and her eyes were bolder now. "And without friends you are going there?" she cried.
The most careless observer could not fail to perceive that the clothes which he wore and which were incomparably superior to certain others which he possessed, but did not wear were sadly shabby; and Vandyke Brown had asked him to be best man at his wedding; and further and this was the strongest reason of all Jaune d'Antimoine longed, from the very depths of his soul, to make himself pleasing in the eyes of Rose Carthame.
Blackton that we may not return by four o'clock?" "I will not. And" Blackton puffed hard at his pipe "and, John the Tête Jaune preacher is our nearest neighbour," he finished. From then until dinner time John Aldous lived in an atmosphere that was not quite real, but a little like a dream. His hopes and his happiness were at their highest.
Of one thing, however, Jaune was convinced: that unless something of a positive nature was done, and done speedily, for the improvement of his outward man, his chance of success was gone forever.
I don't mind letting you have a regular outfit if you want it. One good turn, you know and you've done me a good turn, and that's a fact." But Jaune declined this liberal offer, and declined also to leave his address, which would have involved a revelation of his name. It was a comfort to him to know that his name was safe a great comfort.
