"Not at first; but when I got up to our fence I heard some of 'em yelling like very fiends, and they came after me through the woods, but I got inside our yard, and the baby woke up and yelled like a very fiend, and Nathan Marwick came running out of our barn and says: 'What in time is all this? And someone told folks in the house and out comes Harvey D.'s stepmother that he got married to, and Grandpa Gideon and Cousin Juliana that happened to be there, and all the gypsies rushed up the hill and everyone made the vilest scene and I had to give back this lovely baby to the gypsy woman that claimed it.
I innocently asked. "Do I need an invitation?" "You are so stupid I'm afraid you will if it ever takes place," she added, looking down. "Be good, Jack, and don't tease me. I meant to Lord Marwick's wedding." "Lord Marwick? Who is Lord Marwick?" "Lord Wallace Marwick, of Perth!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands in delight at being the custodian of some great secret.
"And his bride is ?" "Can you not guess?" she exclaimed. "Miss Olive Lawrence," I hazarded. "Really, Jack, you are improving. Two weeks from this noon Bishop's hired man, Lord Wallace Marwick, will be united in marriage with Olive Lawrence!" If she had told me that her father had bought the English throne and was about to be crowned I should not have been more surprised.
"I could no longer brook this spirit of intolerance, but I'm taking nothing except the clothes I'm wearing," he reminded Harvey D. "I go to my comrades barehanded." He adjusted the knot of crimson at his white throat. "But they will not be barehanded long, remember that!" Nathan Marwick started the car along the driveway. Merle was seen to order a halt.
The Curlew was steered out into the open sea in the hope of falling in with any ship that required piloting into the safe haven of Stromness. Beaten about on the heavy sea, the boat was brought along the outer coast of Pomona until she stood off abreast of the Head of Marwick.
"I wouldn't have cared if you had driven me into the pond," I said, and then I missed my fourth brassie. Two weeks from that day there was a double wedding in the fine old drawing room of Marwick Mansion. From the wedding feast which followed cablegrams went to our friends in Woodvale, also one to Mr.
"I believe his father is here," said Harvey D. "I know him," said Sharon. "A mad, swearing, confident fellow, reckless, vagrant-like. A printer by trade. Looks healthy enough. Don't seem blemished. But what about his father?" "Is the boy's mother known?" asked Harvey D. "Easy to find out," said Gideon. "Ask Sarah Marwick," and he went to the wall and pushed a button.
"My knowledge of the peerage is so slight, dearest, that I confess I have never heard of, much less met, Lord Wallace Marwick of Perth," I declared, smiling in sympathy with her enthusiasm. "Oh, yes you have! You know him very well!" "Yes, you; you dear old stupid!" "Who on earth is Lord Wallace Marwick, or whatever his name is?" "Bishop's hired man!" "Wallace?" "Wallace, our club professional!"
"Sarah knows the history of every one, scandalous and otherwise." Sarah Marwick came presently to the door, an austere spinster in black gown and white apron. Her nose, though not Whipple in any degree, was still eminent in a way of its own, and her lips shut beneath it in a straight line. She waited. "Sarah," said Gideon, "do you know a person named Cowan? David Cowan, I believe it is."
