Keane answered, saying nothing of a note he had received from his sister, which ran thus: "RED HOUSE, April 27th. "DEAR ROBERT, Send Tom to Thankful Rest for a few days. Lucy will get well twice as fast after she sees him. Your affectionate sister, Next morning saw a very happy boy take his place in the train, which would land him at Pendlepoint in the evening.
"Well," said Judge Keane, "settle the day when you are at it; I was beginning to think our annual excursion was to be forgotten this fall." "This is Thursday, and to-morrow is my class day at Pendlepoint," said Miss Keane. "Saturday won't suit you, Mr. Goldthwaite?" "Monday would be better," admitted Frank. "Then Monday be it," said the judge.
And from that decision no persuasion could induce Lucy to depart she was firm as a rock; but Aunt Hepsy made a little private arrangement of her own, which was to be kept a profound secret from the bride-elect. Judge Keane travelled to New York the day before Christmas with a young lady under his care; and when the pair were ushered into Dr.
"I can't help it, sir," he said apologetically. "But if you knew how much I've wished for this and dreamed of it. Oh, I feel I can never be grateful enough to you, Mr. Keane!" "Nonsense," said Mr. Keane. "Well, we must be going. Show us the way out, will you, Tom? Your aunt has deserted us. I don't leave for a fortnight yet. I shall see you again in a day or two."
During the temporary absence of Cotton, who accompanied Keane, Nott had the command at Candahar, Sale at and about Cabul, and the troops were quartered in those capitals, and in Jellalabad, Ghuznee, Charikar and Bamian. The Shah and the Envoy wintered in the milder climate of Jellalabad, and Burnes was in political charge of the capital and its vicinity.
"He wants to see you and your brother, I think, on a little business." Miss Hepsy elevated her eyebrows, and shook hands with Mr. Keane in silence. "Josh is in the barn. I s'pose I'd better send for him," she said. And Mr. Keane answered courteously "If you please." She opened the door and called to Lucy to run to the barn for her uncle.
It scarce seemed natural to me; unless on the principle that the wicked fleeth when no man pursueth. I took the telephone list and turned the number up: "2241, Mrs. Keane, res. 942 Mission Street." And that, short of driving to the house and renewing my impertinence in person, was all that I could do.
How the Afghans regarded the invasion was evinced by condign slaughter of our stragglers. As the army advanced up the valley of the Turnuk, the climate became more temperate, the harvest was later, and the troops improved in health and spirit. Concentrating his forces, Keane reached Ghuznee on July 21st. The reconnaissance he made proved that fortress occupied in force.
How much is really sold and how much is washing no one knows, but enormous transactions, big with fate, are of everyday occurrence. As we pass out we notice a man with strong face whose shoes show dire need of patching. Asked his name, I answer, "Jim Keane; just now he is down, but some day he is bound to be way up."
The former was a tall, stately young lady, like her father, stiff and reserved to strangers, but much liked by her friends, among whom Carrie Goldthwaite was the chief. Minnie Keane was a bright-eyed, curly-haired maiden of fifteen, wild as an antelope, and as full of fun and frolic as any one of her pet kittens.
