Ian Maclaren a work too popular to excite suspicion; and arranged the method of secret correspondence with great rapidity. Logan then rushed up to Merton's room, hastily communicated the scheme to him, and overcame his objections, nay, awoke in him, by his report of Mr. Macrae's words, the hopes of a lover.
Macrae's conversation was not brilliant, and Merton still felt as if he were under the wrath, so well deserved, of his hostess. She did not usually go to the Catholic chapel; to be sure, in the conditions prevailing at the Free Kirk place of worship, she had no alternative if she would not abstain wholly from religious privileges.
He would lie awake in the dark thinking about this. "We were doing our bit. He might have stopped putting spokes in our wheel while the war was on." The fact of the matter is that young MacRae was deeply touched in his family pride as well as his personal sense of injustice. Gower had deeply injured his father, therefore it was any MacRae's concern.
Not far from the house she lived in there was an express office where a man agreed to come for her trunk, in a couple of hours. Then she climbed up to Mrs. MacRae's. "I'm going to leave you," announced the girl. "I I have found something out of town. Of course I'll pay for the whole week." The woman expressed her regret, which was genuine.
We'll come away early and listen we'll slip across to the Nurses' Ball at Bartimaeus's Hospital; there'll be fun enough there, at all events." "I'll go," said Drake. Half an hour later the two young men were driving up to the door of Mrs. Macrae's house in Belgrave Square. There was a line of carriages in front of it, and they had to wait their turn to approach the gate.
Mac threw away his cigarette. "Here and now is where we find out," he declared. Worming our fingers under the edge of the boulder, we lifted with all the strength that was in us. For a second it seemed that we could never budge it. Then it began to rise slowly, so slowly that I thought the muscles of my back would snap, and MacRae's face close by mine grew red and then purple with the strain.
"He knows every pot-hole where a troller can lie. He's not afraid of wind or sea or work. No wonder he gets the fish. Those damned " Gower cut his soliloquy off in the middle to watch the Blackbird slide out of sight behind a point. He knew all about Jack MacRae's operations, the wide swath he was cutting in the matter of blueback salmon. The Folly Bay showing to date was a pointed reminder.
The music was good, the home choir did well, and Sunna's solo was effectively sung; but after she had heard Ian Macrae's "Gloria," she was sorry she had sung at all. "Grandfather!" she commented, "No private person has a right to sing as that man sings! After him, non-professionals make a show of themselves." "Thou sang well better than usual, I thought."
Right over the stone marker, a long-shafted war-lance was carved the blade pointing down. MacRae's seat, stone-marker, and aboriginal spearhead; the three lined up like the sights of a modern rifle. The conclusion, in the light of what we knew from Rutter, was obvious, even to a lunkhead like myself. "It looks like you might have struck it," I was constrained to admit.
"You've got something up your sleeve?" "Yes," MacRae admitted. "No stuffed club, either. It's loaded. You wait and keep your ears open." MacRae's face twisted into a mirthless smile. His eyes glowed with the fire that always blazed up in them when he thought too intensely of Horace Gower and the past, or of Gower's various shifts to defeat him in what he undertook. He had anticipated this move.
