Three days before starting they had met Captain Manley in the barrack-yard, and after saluting, Tom said, "If you please, sir, we wanted to ask you a question." "What is that, lads?" "If you please, sir, we understand that the boys of the band have their bags carried for them, but the company buglers carry knapsacks, like the men?" "Yes, boys; the company buglers carry knapsacks and muskets."
They were quiet and respectful in their manners, and fully confirmed the favorable report which Captain Manley had given of them. "Where are the pistols, boys?" their friend asked presently. "Here, sir," and the boys produced them from under their jackets. "We have no case, sir; we were obliged to leave it behind us when we " "Ran away," one of the officers said, laughing.
Manley felt the rebuff of her chilling silence when he came in, and when she twitched herself loose from his embrace he came near regretting his extreme virtue. He spent ten minutes trying to explain, without telling all of the truth, and he felt his good opinion of himself slipping from him before her inexorable disfavor.
He had not exaggerated his sentiments when he intimated plainly to her his hatred of Manley, and he agreed with her that the fellow was making a despicable return for the kindness his neighbors had always shown him. No doubt he had stolen from the Double Diamond as well as the Wishbone. Once Kent pulled up, half minded to go back and let events shape themselves without any interference from him.
You see that the strong point about both Lady Loudwater and Colonel Grey is, on your own showing, that they are uncommonly clever; and only stupid people commit murder except, of course, once in a blue moon." "But what about these gangs of criminals we sometimes read about, with extraordinarily clever men at the head of them? Don't they exist?" said Mr. Manley, in a tone of surprise.
Nowhere could we see any Indian wigwams, but here and there we observed what appeared like smoke rising above the trees. "I very much doubt if what we see is smoke," observed Manley; "it looks more like vapour; and, from the appearance of this region, I suspect that some volcanic action is going forward. However, we shall discover that as we proceed."
He took his leave of the dejected lawyer. Outside Mr. Carrington's office he stood still, hesitating. He could have caught a train back to Low Wycombe, but he could not bring himself to take it. He could not at once tear himself away from London and Mr. Manley. He must sleep on the new facts in the Loudwater case. He went to his club, engaged a bedroom, and dined there. Mr. and Mrs.
"The question was quite natural, sir; the pistols were presented to us by some people we traveled with once; we took the plates off because they made a great fuss about nothing, and we thought that it would look cockey." There was a laugh among the officers at the boys' confusion. "No one would suspect you of being cockey, Scudamore," Captain Manley said kindly; "come, let me see the plates."
Now, I assert that the first American flag was hoisted by Captain John Manley and the first British flag was struck to him on the 29th day of November, 1775."
I also looked to the welfare of the mule, and prepared some bags in which to carry our jerk. Manley, I am sure that you know the meaning of the term "jerk" so that a definition of the word is not at all necessary. The old logs of which the raft was made were remnants of log cabins, a number of which had been built and occupied more than half a century before, but by whom I do not know.
