With fingers as cold as ice, and a memory in her heart of another letter which had brought her misery, Toni took the sheet, and read, in Miss Loder's firm, characteristic hand, the letter in which she requested to be allowed to resign her post.
Major Loder's Spearmint was the winner of the Derby in 1906, and it was a bay colt by Carbine Maid of the Mint, so that a horse owned by the Duke was again associated with the blue ribbon, Carbine having been imported from Australia by his Grace some years before.
He said that if only the spirit of your first days could come back " Her tone grew quicker, as though she feared ridicule in Loder's silence. "He asked me to use my influence. I know that I have little none, perhaps but I couldn't tell him that, and so so I promised." "And have kept the promise?" Loder spoke at random. Her manner and her words had both affected him.
Quite unconsciously she was becoming ever more attracted by his manner, his voice, his ways; and once or twice she found herself wondering, with a kind of sick envy, in what light he appeared to the woman who was his wife. Through it all, however, Miss Loder's paramount emotion was one of envy for the mistress of Greenriver.
"I read heaps and heaps of dull books and worked at French and poetry and then when I tried to help you, you wouldn't let me. You brought that horrid Loder here instead." Her reiteration of Miss Loder's name jarred.
The Sahara is little known, chiefly because the oases in the centre are occupied by intensely hostile and warlike tribes, whose animosity is chiefly directed towards the French, whom they hate with a deadly hatred. But the edges of the great desert have been visited, and on the northern limits two animals are found the addax antelope, and Loder's gazelle.
He passed Loder's Folly, high above the trail gray, windowless, and forlorn; the trail dipped into the cool shadows, twisted through the mazy deeps of Wait-a-Bit Cañon, clambered zigzag back to the sunlit slope, and curved round the hillsides to join, in long levels, the wood roads on the northern slopes.
Simonds' arrival not a single tree had been cut upon it. He built a small log house on the bank of the river just above Loder's Creek as a shelter for his young and helpless family, and here they were destined to spend the next nine years of their lives.
The remaining features of the debate followed quickly one upon the other; the electric atmosphere of the House possessed a strong incentive power. Immediately Loder's ovation had subsided, the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs rose and in a careful and non-incriminating reply defended the attitude of the Government.
The box was in shadow, and Loder's first impression was of voices and rustling skirts, broken in upon by the murmur of frequent, amused laughter; later, as his eyes grew accustomed to the light, he distinguished the occupants two women and a man.
