She's got young Martin out in the boat, restin' on his oars, while she's puttin' him into her picture. She's rubbed him out so often that I expect he'll fall asleep and tumble overboard, or else drop one of his oars." "Mr. Matlack," said Mrs. Archibald, "will you please sit down a moment? I want to ask you something."
Each of us a unit, responsible only to his or her unity, if I may so express it." "Do you mean that I am that?" inquired Mrs. Perkenpine. "Oh yes," replied Corona. "Is Phil Matlack one?" "Yes." "All right," said the female guide; "if he is one, I don't mind."
The young man's face brightened, and he was about to express his pleasure with considerable warmth; but he checked himself, and merely remarked that whenever she was ready he would provide a rod and flies and show her how to use them. Mrs. Archibald had gone into the cabin, and Margery went up to Matlack, who was on his way to the little tent in which the camp cooking was done. "Did Mrs.
"When we are safely at Sadler's," she said, "we can send for our bags, with a note to Matlack. It will not matter then who knows." She had a firm belief in the power of the burly keeper of the inn to prevent trouble on his premises. With careful but rapid steps the little party passed along the open portion of the camp, keeping as far as possible from the tent wherein reposed Corona and Mrs.
"It is so seldom," Corona now continued, "that we find people who are willing to assert their individuality, and when they are found I always want to talk to them. I suppose, Mr. Matlack, that your life is one long assertion of individuality?" "What, ma'am?" asked the guide.
But it will be all right in a day or two. Peter will settle that." "Mr. Sadler, do you mean?" asked Margery. "What's he got to do with it?" "He's got everything to do with it," said Matlack. "He's got everything to do with everything in this part of the country. He's got his laws, and he sees to it that people stand by them.
Even if he stayed here he could not protect her, for she had shown that she did not wish him to do it in the only way he could do it, and he felt sure, too, that any further annoyance would result in an appeal to Mr. Archibald. "Well," said Matlack, sharply, "what's the matter with you? Don't you intend to move?" "Yes," said Martin, turning quickly, "I do intend to move.
The bicycle fellow that you hired a gun to don't know the fust thing about usin' it, and the next thing you'll hear will be that he's shot his pardner, who's worth six of him." Mr. Sadler sat up very straight in his chair and stared at the guide. "Phil Matlack," he shouted, "what do you take me for? I hired that gun to that young man. Don't you suppose I know what I'm about?"
"Oh, dear!" she sighed, as she opened the door and went in. Towards the end of the afternoon, when the air had grown cooler, Mr. Archibald proposed a boating expedition to the lower end of the lake. His boat was large enough for Matlack, the three ladies, and himself, and if the two young men wished to follow, they had a boat of their own.
That is my position, and it suits me admirably; and I may add that Corona assures me that she is thoroughly well pleased. We are to be married in the fall, and I hope it will not be long before we shall have the pleasure of meeting again our former companions of the hermit camp." "By-the-way," said Mr. Archibald, as his visitor was about to leave, "tell me something of Matlack.
