Mackellar," cried he, with a sudden imperious heat, in which I could not but admire him, "that I am scrupulously civil: copy me in that, and we shall be the better friends." Throughout this dialogue I had been incommoded by the observation of Secundra Dass.
I forced him to swallow it like a child; and, being still perished with the cold of the night, I followed his example. "It has to be told, Mackellar," said he. "It must be told." And he fell suddenly in a seat my old lord's seat by the chimney-side and was shaken with dry sobs. Dismay came upon my soul; it was plain there was no help in Mr. Henry.
They were nane sae fond o' the Master when they had him, I'll can tell ye that. Sorrow on his name! Never a guid word did I hear on his lips, nor naebody else, but just fleering and flyting and profane cursing deil hae him! There's nane kent his wickedness: him a gentleman! Did ever ye hear tell, Mr. Mackellar, o' Wully White the wabster? No?
The hard heart of Plutocracy rejects the cry of Labour!" "Yes," said Hal, "but I really mean to get to him. Do you suppose he's got back to the train yet?" "They were starting to it when I left." "And where is the train?" "Two or three hundred yards east of the station, I was told." MacKellar and Edstrom had been listening enthralled to this exciting conversation.
The engineer, Mackellar, wrote that the works were incapable of defence; and Colonel Mercer, the commandant, reported general discontent in the garrison. Captain John Vicars, an invalid officer of Shirley's regiment, arrived at Albany with yet more deplorable accounts.
Stevenson assigns to Mackellar the task of narrating "The Master of Ballantrae": but when the Master disappears and Mackellar remains at home with Mr. Henry, it is necessary for the author to invent a second personage, the Chevalier de Burke, to tell the story of the Master's wanderings.
You know about that check-weighman business!" exclaimed the reporter. "I got a hint of it that's how I happened to be down here to-day. I heard there was a man named Edstrom, who'd been shut out for making trouble; and I thought if I could find him, I might get a lead." Hal and MacKellar looked at the old Swede, and the three of them began to laugh. "Here's your man!" said MacKellar.
Mackellar was a Republican of a pronounced type and a good deal of a politician besides. Therefore he must go. But he was my friend. I had but two in the entire neighborhood who really cared for me Edward Wells, clerk in a drug-store across the street, who was of my own age, and Mackellar.
That was all there was to the story except that Edstrom had refrained from sending to MacKellar for help, because he had felt sure they were all working to get the mine open, and he did not feel he had the right to put his troubles upon them. Hal listened to the old man's feeble statements, and there came back to him a surge of that fury which his North Valley experience had generated in him.
"As long as the Master is here, Mr. Mackellar, you will very much oblige me by regarding his wishes as you would my own," says Mr. Henry. "We are constantly troubling you: will you be so good as send one of the servants?" with an accent on the word.
