But Pedro was a law-abiding place, and he would be protected in his rights so long as he behaved himself. Hal replied by citing what MacKellar had told him about men being slugged on the streets in broad day-light. To this Mr. Perkins answered that there was uncertainty about the circumstances of these cases; anyhow, they had happened before he became mayor.
"It is neither the name of Mackellar nor the name of God that can change the truth," said I; "and I am telling you the fact. Now for you, that suffered so much, to deal out the same suffering to another, is that the part of any Christian? But you are so swallowed up in your new friend that the old are all forgotten. They are all clean vanished from your memory.
"Let's go now!" said Hal, at once; but as they were starting downstairs, a fresh difficulty occurred to him. Pete Hanun was on the street outside, and it was likely that he had heard about this money from Jeff Cotton; he might hold Edstrom up and take it away. "Let me suggest something," put in the old man. "Come and see my friend Ed MacKellar.
"I append a schedule with some necessary observations, "And am, "Honoured Madam, "Your ladyship's obliged, obedient servant, "EPHRAIM MACKELLAR. "Schedule of Papers. "A. Scroll of ten letters from Ephraim Mackellar to the Hon. "C. Three original letters from the Mr of Ballantrae to the Hon. Henry to answer: copies of my answers A 4, A 5, and A 9 of these productions. The purport of Mr.
"Mackellar," said he, with a wonderful return to his old manner and appearance, "you may say what you will of me, but one thing I never was I was never selfish." "I will open your eyes in your despite," said I. "How long have we been here? and how often have you written to your family? I think this is the first time you were ever separate: have you written at all?
"I have been a long while in your service, and never told a lie, nor yet asked a favour for myself," said I, "until to-day." "A favour for the Master," he returned, quietly. "Do you take me for a fool, Mackellar?
The Master heard him coming, and advanced upon the other side; about four feet apart, these brothers came to a full pause, and stood exchanging steady looks, and then my lord smiled, bowed a little forward, and turned briskly away. "Mackellar," says he, "we must see to breakfast for these travellers."
He looked in my face when he had done, and saw that my eyes watered. "Ah! Mackellar," said he, "do you think I have never a regret?" "I do not think you could be so bad a man," said I, "if you had not all the machinery to be a good one." "No, not all," says he: "not all. You are there in error. The malady of not wanting, my evangelist." But methought he sighed as he mounted again into the chaise.
He sat down at once in the same place and the old perilous attitude. "Hold on!" cried I, covering my eyes. "I cannot bear to see you in that posture. The least irregularity of the sea might plunge you overboard." "You are highly inconsistent," he replied, smiling, but doing as I asked. "For all that, Mackellar, I would have you to know you have risen forty feet in my esteem.
Thereupon he would shake his head at me. "Ah! Mackellar, you might live a thousand years and never understand my nature," he would say. "This battle is now committed, the hour of reflection quite past, the hour for mercy not yet come.
