I wish you had been along. I like traveling better than staying at home all the time." "I am going to do a bit of traveling myself, Ned." "Where are you going?" "To Philadelphia to try my luck in that city." "Going to leave Mr. Mallison?" "Yes, the season is at an end." "Oh, I see. So you are going to the Quaker City, as pa calls it. I wish you luck.
After Andrew Mallison had gone Joe was shown around the hotel and instructed in his various duties. Occasionally he was to do bell-boy duty, but usually he was to be an all-around helper for the office. "I think you'll like it here," said Frank Randolph. "It's the best hotel I've ever worked in. Mr. Drew is a perfect gentleman." "I am glad to hear it, Frank," answered our hero.
It is horrible to see such ruin of body and mind in one so young, Ida answered sadly. 'Well, you must see what influence you can exercise over him for his own good. I will call every other day, and hear how you are getting on with him; and if you fail, we must summon Dr. Mallison. Ida spoke to the butler.
She liked to go into the park on such mornings, when Miss Robinson left her free, and sit on a bench and abandon herself to remote, impersonal dreams. It was just as she entered Berkeley Square that she met Mrs. Mallison, that aunt of Gerald's who had struck her, some weeks ago, as so disconcerting, with her skilfully preserved prettiness and her ethical and metaphysical aspirations.
Andrew Mallison led the way to the office and called up a stout, pleasant looking man. "Mr. Drew, this is a young friend of mine, Joe Bodley. He worked for me this summer, around the boats and also in the hotel. Now that the season is at an end he is trying to find something to do in the city. If you have an opening I can recommend him." Mr. Arthur Drew surveyed Joe critically.
The matter was talked over for a good hour, and all three visited the room Malone had occupied, which had been vacant ever since. But a hunt around revealed nothing of value, and they returned to the office. "I can do nothing more for you, Mr. Vane," said Andrew Mallison. "I wish I could do something," said Joe. Something about Maurice Vane was very attractive to him.
But at the second tug it came free, and a moment later both our hero and Mabel Mallison came to the surface. "Oh!" cried two of the ladies in the row-boat. "Is she drowned?" "I trust not," answered Joe. "Sit still, please, or the boat will surely go over." As best he could Joe hoisted Mabel into the craft and then clambered in himself.
But the train was gone and all they could see of it was the last car as it swung around one of the mountain bends. "Too late, Mr. Mallison!" sang out the station master. "If I had known ye was comin' I might have held her up a bit." "I didn't want the train, Jackson. Who got on board?" "Two ladies, a man and a boy Dick Fadder." "Did you know the man?" "No." "What did he have with him?"
'Faithless Gerald! So soon, she said. 'He is consoled quickly. No, I never guessed anything at all. Mrs. Mallison had again passed her arm through hers and again pressed it. 'It is soon, isn't it? A sort of chassé-croisé. But how strange and fortunate that it should be soon I know you feel that too. 'Oh yes, of course, I feel it; it is an immense relief.
'Perhaps I am neither. Why have you put that man as a spy upon me? The discreet Towler had retired into the adjacent bedroom during this conversation. 'He is not a spy. Dr. Mallison said you ought to have a servant specially to wait upon you, that in your sleepless nights you might not be left alone. 'No, they are a trial, those long nights.
