"She is alone oh, poor lady in Leduc's barn, without light, without warmth, with nothing to eat or drink! How then do you wish to desert her?" "Not I," said the doctor composedly. "But I know mademoiselle, she is true Canadienne, not afraid of a little snow, a little storm! And the secret of my profession is always to eat and always to drink when good food and good drink are going.
Explanations were in order, but as neither of them mentioned Edmund Crabbe, Miss Clairville's true position was not made known, and it was arranged that as soon as somebody's clothes were sufficiently dried and somebody's horse rubbed down and fed, somebody should pick her up at Leduc's barn and so return with her to St. Ignace. "Of course you will go, Dr. Renaud," said Mrs.
"Set me the example by being reasonable yourself, and let there be no more of this wild talk of leaving me the very moment you are come. Leduc, a chair for Mistress Winthrop!" he commanded, as though chairs abounded in a garden nook. But Leduc, the diplomat, had effaced himself. She laughed at his grand air, and, herself, drew forward the stool that had been Leduc's, and sat down. Satisfied, Mr.
"Couldn't wait?" said Cato. "Nope," said Holmes. "He was very much annoyed by the delay, Cato. You see he's on bigger jobs than this puny little affair of Bar, LeDuc's, and your failure to appear on schedule time threw him out. Pearls aren't the only chips in Darlington's game, my boy." "Well I couldn't help it," said Cato. "Bar, LeDuc's messenger didn't get down there until five minutes of six."
"I do not mind the snow nor shall you. I would drive so like this beside you and looking at you, to the end of the world, of life. Drive faster, faster yet, till we leave those others behind. Take that opening there on your left. I know of a shelter that will serve Leduc's barn you may remember it. Arrived there, you must hear me."
His fine Holland shirt went next, his stockings and what other trifles he wore, until he stood as naked as Adam before the fall. Yet all in vain. His garments were restored to him, one by one, and one by one, with Leduc's aid, he resumed them. Mr. Green was looking crestfallen. "Are you satisfied?" inquired Mr. Caryll pleasantly, his good temper inexhaustible.
Caryll's lodging was broken into, and on Leduc's return he found a confusion which told him how thoroughly the place had been ransacked. If Mr. Caryll had had anything to hide, this would have given him the hint to take his precautions; but as he had nothing that was in the least degree in incriminating, he went his ways in supremest unconcern of the vigilance exerted over him.
"The devil take the doctor," said Mr. Caryll with finality. "Parfaitement!" answered the smooth Leduc. "Over the bridge we laugh at the saint. Now that we are cured, the devil take the doctor by all means." A ripple of laughter came to applaud Leduc's excursion into irony. The arbor had another, narrower entrance, on the left.
Such indeed they proved to be, since the deductions drawn from the behaviour of colloids and from Leduc's pretty toys were promptly disclaimed by leading chemists in the course of the few days after the delivery of the address.
Caryll smiled, and shook his head. "I am not wont to neglect such details," he observed. "The eyes of Argus were not so vigilant as my Leduc's; and he understands that we are private. He will give us warning should any attempt to approach. Be assured of that, and believe, therefore, that we are more snug here than we should be even in your lordship's closet." "That being so, sir hem!
