Neither Lockwood nor Whitney had arrived, and Kennedy improved the opportunity to have a quiet talk aside with her, at which, I imagine, he was arranging a programme of what was to happen at this meeting and her part in it to co-operate with him. She had left the room for a moment and we were alone.
When we were landed the guns were issued to my company, and we were given about half an hour's instruction in the way they were worked. Of course most of us had done shooting, and were a little better than green hands; but Will Lockwood during the fight loaded his gun until it was full of unfired loads, and forgot to put a cap on.
His fame drew many to hear him, and among the rest Abraham Lockwood. He went partly out of curiosity, and partly in the hope of getting relief to his mind; however, he only came away worse than before; he was miserable, and it now began to show itself to his companions. "Pain will out," like murder. "What's the matter, Abe?" they would say to him. "Oh, nothing particular," he would reply.
She thought about it a great deal that afternoon; at times she repented that she had given up the medal, and at times she blushed that she should have been carried in her zeal into such an unwarranted intimacy with another's story. She determined finally to ask her father about it. He would be sure to know, she thought, as he and Mr. Lockwood were contemporaries.
'Not much change here, cried Lockwood, as he strode into the little sitting-room and sat down. 'I miss the old fellow's picture, that's all. 'Ah! by the way, said Walpole to the landlord, 'you had my Lord Kilgobbin's portrait up there the last time I came through here. 'Yes, indeed, sir, said the man, smoothing down his hair and looking apologetically.
The next day, to Warrington's surprise, my lady absolutely did send a basket of good wine to Lockwood, and a cushion for his armchair. "I thought of what you said, yesterday, at night when I went to bed; and guess you know the world better than I do, cousin; and that it's best to keep the old man, as you say." And so this affair of the porter's lodge ended, Mr.
Lockwood paused outside the door. "Come 'long, Roland." "Yes, sir; right away; just a minute." Roland was lingering unwillingly, detained by Burnham's imperative hand. "What d'you want? I got to hurry." "What was he winking at me for?" demanded Burnham heatedly. "Have you ?" "Oh!" Roland laughed. "He wasn't winking. He can't help doing that. It's a twitchin' he's got in his eye.
She learned this truth from me for the first time, I think. Afterward, pitying her, I watched her how she went from camp to camp. Some gave her mending to do, some washing, enabling her to live. I drew clothing and arms and rations as a Hudson guide enrolled, and together she and I made out to live. Then, in the spring, Major Lockwood summoned me to carry intelligence between the lines.
Kennedy passed over the flippant manner in view of the importance of the observation. "What do you think of Lockwood?" he asked. "Pretty slick," replied another of the men. "He's the goods, all right." "Why, what has he done?" asked Kennedy. "Nothing in particular. But he came out to see us once. You can't blame him for being a bit sore at us fellows hanging about. But he didn't show it.
It was apparent that whether he actually knew anything about the secret of the Inca dagger or not, Whitney was not to be trapped into betraying it. I had an idea that Lockwood was interested in knowing that fact, too. At any rate, one could not be sure whether these two were perfectly frank with each other, or were playing a game for high stakes between themselves.
