"Nan came in with that letter just as Mr. Marvin and I were finishing our talk about the houseboat," he went on. "I was going to keep it secret a little longer, but it's just as well you should know now. "I think you will like the Bluebird. It has a little gasoline engine, so we can travel from place to place.
She's Miss Pauline Marvin, daughter of the richest man that has died in twenty years." The boat gong sounded the signal of departure. Summers, with a hasty apology, left Pauline and stepped forward. The engines began to rumble. The deadly and delicate craft masterpiece of modern naval achievement drew slowly from the pier. There was a shout.
Let us hope I am. For I understand that your heritage is there." "Yes," answered Loo, who was shaking hands with Sep and Miriam, "my heritage is there." "And you will go back to France?" inquired Marvin, holding out his hand. "Yes," was the reply, with a side glance in the direction of Miriam. "I shall go back to France."
I tried to tell him different, as we walked back; and when we reached camp we found the Commander and his party, who had just come in; and the Commander gave Ootah to distinctly understand that he was not going back just yet. Orders were given to camp, and while the igloos were being built, Marvin and MacMillan took soundings.
Marvin calls for my letter this morning, which will be delivered with a pound of green tea I have purchased for your landlady at two dollars. He has called. I am hurried. Ten thousand loves Toujours la votre. Jane's in the Mountains, May, 1785. I wrote my dear Theodosia a long letter of business and nonsense last evening from Chester. Our cavalcade is most fortunately composed.
Of course, I am only too anxious about my poor Father; and if I can see a way to meet either of Sir James Frere's conditions, I shall do so. I shall ask Mr. Marvin to come here today, and advise me as to the limit of Father's wishes. If he thinks I am free to act in any way on my own responsibility, I shall not hesitate to do so." Then Doctor Winchester took his leave.
Folks expects progress of you. Look up to you, kind of. Take their idees from you." "I dunno," said Marvin, visibly pleased, but deprecatory. "Careful, cautious but most gen'ally right, that's what I hear folks say. Quite a bit of talk goin' around about you. Politics. Uh-huh! Heard several say it was a pity Marvin Towne couldn't be got to go to the legislature. Heard that, hain't you, Bogle?"
The boys in the rowboat stopped skylarking to discuss what steamer it was, and Marvin, who had swam up behind and laid hands on the gunwale, told them that it was the Lusitania and that if they didn't agree with him he'd tip them over. Discussion ceased at once. The four mariners instantly declared that he was right.
Marvin, foreseeing this dilemma, had sent on several long, stout boxes filled with "plate matter," which meant that a variety of stories, poems, special articles and paragraphs of every sort had been made into stereotyped plates of column width which could be placed anywhere in the paper where a space needed to be filled.
As she reached her own room she heard the front door closed behind Loo and the rattle of the chain under the uncertain fingers of Septimus Marvin. The sound of it was like the clink of that other chain by which Barebone had made fast his boat to the tottering post on the river-wall.
