He was heir to all the ages, an Atwood, of Dalesburg; and you might know every thought conceived in his bosom. Geddie came down to the consulate to explain the duties and workings of the office. He and Keogh tried to interest the new consul in their description of the work that his government expected him to perform.
"Cheer up," said Goodwin. "You are a pretty poor fox to be envying a gander. Maybe the enchanting Guilbert will take a fancy to you and your tintypes after we impoverish her royal escort." "She could do worse," reflected Keogh; "but she won't. 'Tis not a tintype gallery, but the gallery of the gods that she's fitted to adorn. She's a very wicked lady, and the president man is in luck.
At the southeastern end of the Custer ridge, facing, apparently, the draw, or coulee, of the branch of Custer Creek, Calhoun and Crittenden were placed. Some little distance back of them, in a depression, and down the northern slope of the Custer Ridge, Keogh stood.
The last time I saw either of my two friends was at a dinner-party which Bourke gave at the 'Windham. We were only four, to make up a whist party; the fourth was Fred Clay, the composer. It is sad to reflect that two of the lot came to violent ends Keogh, the cheeriest of men in society, by his own hands.
For two hours each day the great man sat to him. White worked faithfully. But, as the work progressed, he had seasons of bitter scorn, of infinite self-contempt, of sullen gloom and sardonic gaiety. Keogh, with the patience of a great general, soothed, coaxed, argued kept him at the picture.
Angry with himself he tried to hide his face from their eyes by gazing down sideways into the shallow swirling water under the bridge but he still saw a reflection therein of their top-heavy silk hats and humble tape-like collars and loosely-hanging clerical clothes. Brother Hickey. Brother Quaid. Brother MacArdle. Brother Keogh.
When quite bewildered, like everybody else, I ventured mildly to ask, 'But where were you, Lord Cardigan, and where were our men when it came to this? 'Where? Where? God bless my soul! How should I know where anybody was? And this, no doubt, described the situation to a nicety. My office was in the Castle, and the next room to mine was that of the Solicitor-General Keogh, afterwards Judge.
He found on the beach some one who directed him to the consul's office; and thither he made his way at a nervous gait. Keogh was sprawled in the official chair, drawing caricatures of his Uncle's head on an official pad of paper. He looked up at his visitor. "Where's Johnny Atwood?" inquired the sunburned young man, in a business tone. "Gone," said Keogh, working carefully at Uncle Sam's necktie.
His lordship, Judge Keogh I must now candidly admit that I have heard a great deal about that gentle nan that was not at all complimentary to him but I say for myself that his lordship, Judge Keogh has dealt with me in the fairest manner he could have done.
After France had been profiting by the skill of British women for months, Sir Alfred Keogh, Medical Director General, wisely insisted that the War Office yield and place a hospital in the hands of women. The War Hospital in Endell Street, London, is now under Dr. Flora Murray, and every office, except that of gateman, is filled by women.
