On a day in early March, a bracing day of brilliant sky, clear air and sharp west wind, Brand said to Henrietta when he left the office for luncheon that probably he would not return in the afternoon. "I think," he said, "that I shall go across to Staten Island and motor down to Macfarlane's property and get a general idea of the site and the surroundings."
"But, my dear sir! we should gain nothing by MacFarlane's removal when his successor would be appointed by the executive!" Marston turned in the doorway of the smoking-compartment and laid a fatherly hand on the younger man's shoulder. "My boy, I didn't say 'remove'; I said 'obliterate'. Good night."
Just like that one o' Sam MacFarlane's that popped off last Christmas isn't she, Peter?" Peter, who avoided looking at Laura, sheepishly mumbled something about like enough she was. "And who IS your ma, my dear? What's your name?" continued her interrogator.
Altogether it was hard, uncongenial work, and, being rendered somewhat flabby and nerveless by his previous evening's carouse with Macfarlane's whisky, Mr. Dyceworthy was in a plaintive and injured frame of mind, he was bound on a mission a holy and edifying errand, which would have elevated any minister of his particular sect.
"I gathered from Macfarlane's and Dr. Giddings's careful attempts to reassure me, that they feared danger from that source." Strange smiled enigmatically. "Surely the idea of an Indian attack is absurd," said Colina. "There hasn't been such a thing for thirty years." "I know the Indians better than any man here," said Strange. "One may expect danger without being afraid."
Macfarlane's Indian Empire, Being our Indian Empire, its History and Present State, from the Earliest Settlement of the British in Hindoostan to the close of the year 1846, including the late Sikh War, and the administrations of Lords Ellenborough and Hardinge, illustrated with steel portraits and numerous wood engravings. Two volumes, square 8vo., cloth, full gilt back and side, 9s.
Robert Hall's Essay on Poetry and Philosophy: Mr. Coleridge's Travels in Germany: An Essay on French Oaths, by Miss Edgeworth: the Rev. W.S. Gilly's Narrative of the Albigenses: Mr. Ellis's Account of the Austral Islands: Dr. Walsh's Account of the Aborigines of Canada; and Mr. Macfarlane's Visit to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor.
Jack, to be sure, was still in his room, having swallowed more gas and smoke than the others, badly scorching his insides, as he had panted under the weight of MacFarlane's body. The crisis, however, brought on by his imprudence in meeting Ruth at the station, had passed, and even he was expected to be out in a few days.
I was staying over at Glenshiels, and had not a moment to spare in catching the train. But I found a horse-box on, and a lad from MacFarlane's just leaving as I came up." "Didn't he send a boy down with the horse?" asked Lord George. "I believe there is a boy, and the boy'll be awfully bothered. I told him to book the horse for Kilmarnock."
He was suffering greatly and was by no means out of danger. If for the next hour or two there was anything to be done at MacFarlane's, Peter was ready to do it, but this accomplished, he would shoulder his bag and camp out for the night beside the boy's bed. He had come, indeed, to tell Felicia so, and he meant to sleep there whatever her protests.
