Maginnis, you know, is strung away up above concert-pitch, and this melancholy encouragement threw her into despair, and came near to making her a fit patient for the doctor's specialistic attentions in a private retreat. She couldn't bring herself to have the eyes operated on, or even to have electricity applied. It was just after this first visit to the doctor, while Mrs.
You all know that if I am almost too proud and too happy to speak at all just now, it is because a kindly chance sent Mr. Maginnis to Hunston."
He talked very well, too, of the country and the game, and we were enjoying the change in our usual after-dinner camp conversation, when suddenly up he jumped, and turning around looked straight at Faye, and then like a bomb came the request to be allowed to go with him to Fort Maginnis! He raised the brim of his hat, and there seemed to be a look of defiance in his steel-blue eyes.
In fact," he added, putting on his hat with significant firmness, "it is because of some business that I have with this party that Mr. Maginnis asked you to look out for him." Mr. Stobo's eyes ardently approved the young man's readiness for "trouble." "Well, sir that's took a load off'n my mind, I tell you! I'll just skip on will I, Mr. Varney? and try to get the tip to Mr.
Varney came back into the little office where Mary Carstairs waited, fresh from more cheap plotting in which she was the innocent central figure; and faced her, uncomfortable, ill at ease, disquieted inwardly as a conspirator taken red-handed. "It was Maginnis upstairs," he explained awkwardly. "Yes?" she said indifferently, and resumed the buttoning of her glove.
He made no answer to this, but stepped forward and swung open the door for her. "Maginnis," he said, "is to call for me immediately in a motor. We shall leave by the unobtrusive back alley. Two men, a motor, and a dark rear exit. You will scarcely imagine that there is any danger now. But may I thank you again for giving us warning when there was, perhaps, some danger?"

"I want to explain a rule that Mr. Varney and I adopted just now, Mr. Maginnis," said Mrs. Marne. "Did you hear it? It concerns the two subjects of butter and politics."
He thought rather highly of the number one companies that hailed from the theatre of which Mr Maginnis was proprietor. 'And anyhow, I ought to have had the part in the first place instead of when the tour's half over. They are at Southampton this week. He wants me to join them there and go on to Portsmouth with them. 'You'll like Portsmouth. 'Why? 'Well er good links quite near.
After a while Miss Newman went inside and presently came out with a tray on which were glasses of lemonade and a plate of small cakes. These were passed around, and much enjoyed. "Now tell them one of your stories," said Miss Newman to her sister. "Shall I make up a new one or shall I tell them one of the old ones?" "Tell them the one the Maginnis children like so much."
"You're wrong there, Hare," said Peter, out of his fathomless ignorance. "For my part I think that women are often more amusing than men." "Of course, Maginnis, of course. The point is that it never dawns on them." They were strung out along the after deck, a gay and friendly company, exactly as Varney had pictured them in his thoughts.
