But the bird, sufficiently fortunate itself, whatever woe it presaged for others, suddenly took its awkward flight through sheen and shadow across the quadrangle, and when they heard its cry again it came from some remote section of the building, with a doleful echo as a refrain. The circumstance was soon forgotten by Keenan.
Here, also, is a letter of credit for Miss Keenan in the sum of fifty thousand and the bank in Papeete has no notice of it! Remember that! It's important. Keep it to yourself. Miss Keenan has the expense money for both of you; tell her to split the roll with you. Tell her, also, that her name from now until she gets back is Matilda Keenan, and to sign her drafts that way.
We can't tell, of course, just what he found out after that Pobloff affair, or just how he interpreted it, or whether he is as much in the dark as ever. If that is the case, we may stand just where we were before with Keenan!" "But I thought you wanted to get away from this sort of thing?" "I do when the time comes," she evaded, tortured by the thought that she had withheld anything from him.
Skinner get along all right?" he queried. "Oh, yes, sir." "I'm very glad to hear that. You've been substituting for Miss Keenan, haven't you?" "Yes, sir." "Well, you can have the job for keeps if you want it. You suit me. Take letter: 'Miss M. Keenan I called her Matilda, but her name's Mary; so let it go at that.
The girl's lip suddenly curled with scorn. "Yer nephew would be obligated ter make a ch'ice fur marryin' 'mongst these hyar mounting gals Par-mely Lepstone, or Belindy M'ria Matthews, or one o' the Windrow gals. Waal, sir, I'd ruther be yer niece even ef Em'ry Keenan air like a puppy underfoot, that ye can't gin away, an' won't git lost, an' ye ain't got the heart ter kill."
And as each word fluttered off on its restless Hertzian wings, like a flock of hurrying carrier-pigeons through the night, the woman listened and translated and read, word by word. "Then we go it together you and I for all it's worth!" Keenan was saying, with his face near hers and his hand on her motionless arm. "Listen," she said sharply.
Keenan himself fell, pierced by bayonets, and the charge was repulsed at once; but a few priceless moments had been saved, and Pleasanton had been given time to post twenty-two guns, loaded with double canister, where they would bear upon the enemy.
Yet he leaned forward and studied him more closely, through the half-light, studied him as the deliberating terrier might study the captured rat that had dared to bite back at him. "This woman, I repeat, has certain papers about her!" "And what of that?" cried Keenan blindly. Frank saw, to her joy, that he was misled.
It was doubtless the warmth and glow of the fire, the clinging desire of companionship, the earnest determination to be content, pathetic in one who had but little reason for optimism, that caused him to ignore the vacillating glancing moods that successively swayed Keenan, strong while they lasted, but with scanty augury because of their evanescence.
The sturdy division plowed its way through the receding blue waves of panic-stricken men and dashed into the face of the overwhelming hosts. Major Keenan, in command of the 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry, charged with his gallant five hundred into the face of almost certain death and held the grey lines in check until the artillery of the Third Corps was saved and turned on the advancing Confederates.
