Arrived at his tent, Matlack found Bill Hammond, a young man in Sadler's service, who informed him that that burly individual had sent Martin away in the stage-coach, and had ordered him to come and take his place. "All right," said Matlack. "I guess you're as good as he was, and so you can settle down to work. By-the-way, do you know that we are all hermits here?" "Hermits?" said the other.
"But there's one I think of now, and that is that no woman shall go out in a boat by herself on this lake." "That is simply horrid!" exclaimed Margery. "Women can row as well as men." "I don't say they can't," said Matlack. "I'm only tellin' you what Peter's rules are, and that's one of them." Margery made no reply, but walked away, her head thrown back a little more than was usual with her.
All our stores appear to be absolutely raw, or in some intermediate state of crudity. I intend to order some provisions in cans or boxes which will be at all times available, but I have not done so yet, and so I have come over to speak to you about the matter. Did your guides prepare your dinner as usual?" "Oh yes," said Mrs. Archibald. "A hermit life seems to make no difference with Mr. Matlack.
"I've got to keep my eye on her," said Matlack to himself, as he went to the cabin; "she's never been broke to no harness." Mr. Raybold did not shoot Mr. Clyde, nor did he shoot anything else. Mr. Clyde did shoot a bird, but it fell into the water at a place where the shore was very marshy, and it was impossible for him to get it.
"When do you expect to get there?" he asked. "It seems to me," said the other, reflectively, "that I am always going there, and I suppose I shall have to keep on doing it." "Look here," said Mr. Archibald, turning to Matlack, "give him some supper, and let him rest. There will be time enough for him to get to Sadler's after that. If Sadler has anything to say against it, refer him to me."
"What I want to know is, are you going to make friends with that man and invite him to our table?" "I shall invite him if I see fit," said she. "He is an extremely intelligent person." "Well," answered he, "if you do I shall have a separate table," and he walked away. As soon as he had left Corona, the bishop repaired to the Archibalds' cooking-tent, where he saw Matlack at work.
He came from Sadler's, and I've been looking high and low for you." "A man from Sadler's," said Matlack, turning to Mrs. Perkenpine, "and I must be off to see him. Remember what I told you about the supper." And so saying, he walked rapidly away. Out in the open Matlack found the bishop. "Obliged to you for lookin' me up," he said, "it's a pity to give you so much trouble."
Archibald's first impressions of the man did not formulate themselves in these terms; he simply thought that the guide was a slipshod sort of a fellow. "Phil," said Mr. Sadler, "here is the gentleman you are going to take into camp." "Glad to see him," said Matlack; "hope he'll like it."
The young men have took him in; but I expect he'll come over with them as soon as it's done rainin', for when that happens they're bound to come themselves." "Look here, Phil," said Peter, "is he dressed in black?" "Yes, he is," said the guide. Mr. Sadler slapped his hand on the arm of his chair. "Phil Matlack," he shouted, "that's my favorite tramp.
I understand you perfectly, and the individualities will all run along together without interfering with each other, and if one happens to get in the way of another it will be gently moved aside." "Gently!" said Matlack, somewhat satirically. "Well, all right, it will be moved aside. I am satisfied, if the rest are." "Now all in favor say 'Aye," said Corona. They all said "Aye," except Mrs.
