In some of the camps the meeting-halls belonged to the company; in others they belonged to saloon-keepers whose credit depended upon Alf Raymond. In the few places where there were halls that could be hired, the machine had gone to the extreme of sending in rival entertainments, furnishing free music and free beer in order to keep the crowds away from MacKellar.
I know now that he must have overheard and comprehended the peculiar nature of my prayers. Similarly, I can understand a word that I remember to have fallen from him in conversation that same night; when, holding up his hand and smiling, "Ah! Mackellar," said he, "not every man is so great a coward as he thinks he is nor yet so good a Christian." He did not guess how true he spoke!
If respect for property is the back-bone of his being, he can learn what news is, and the right way to handle it." Keating turned to the Scotchman. "Do you happen to have a typewriter in the house, Mr. MacKellar?" "An old one," said the other "lame, like myself." "I'll make out with it. I'd ask this young man over to my hotel, but I think he'd better keep off the streets as much as possible."
Are they watching the back door, do you suppose?" "They've been watching it all day," said MacKellar. "Listen," broke in Hal "I've an idea. They haven't tried to interfere with your going out, have they, Mr. Keating?" "No, not yet." "Nor with you, Mr. MacKellar?" "No, not yet," said the Scotchman. "Well," Hal suggested, "suppose you lend me your crutches?"
"And yet you are very fond of money!" said he. "And yet you love money beyond all things else, except my brother!" "I fear old age and poverty," said I, "which is another matter." "I will never quarrel for a name. Call it so," he replied. "Ah! Mackellar, Mackellar, if this were done from any love to me, how gladly would I close upon your offer!"
"We must go somewhere forth of the house." "There is an excellent place in the long shrubbery," said the Master. "Gentlemen," said I, "shame upon you both! Sons of the same mother, would you turn against the life she gave you?" "Even so, Mackellar," said Mr. Henry, with the same perfect quietude of manner he had shown throughout. "It is what I will prevent," said I.
MacKellar, seemed, just before you came in, to doubt whether your people would rise in any force, unless you could produce the authority of your nephew. 'I might ask, said Redgauntlet, what right MacKellar, or any one, has to doubt my being able to accomplish what I stand pledged for? But our hopes consist in our unity. Here stands my nephew.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen." "Ah! that is easy saying," said my lord. "That is very easy saying, Mackellar. But for me to forgive! I think I would cut a very silly figure if I had the affectation to pretend it." "The bairn, my lord!" said I, with some severity, for I thought his expressions little fitted for the care of children.
I am to meet Sir William Johnson, but I will be more upon my guard." He was silent for a time, and then, smiling: "Do you call to mind a place, Mackellar it's a little below Engles where the burn runs very deep under a wood of rowans. I mind being there when I was a lad dear, it comes over me like an old song! I was after the fishing, and I made a bonny cast. Eh, but I was happy.
"'I must have blood, I must have blood for this, says the Master. "'Please God it shall be yours, said Mr. Henry; and he went to the wall and took down a pair of swords that hung there with others, naked. These he presented to the Master by the points. 'Mackellar shall see us play fair, said Mr. Henry. 'I think it very needful.
