May I ask who it is that desires to see her?" "My name is Maxby," said I, quickly, for I was becoming nervously impatient. "I am quite a stranger to Mrs Liston, but I would see her, because I bring her news news of importance in fact a message from her long-lost son."
We were suddenly interrupted at this point by the appearance of a man in the distance walking smartly towards us. I could perceive, as he drew near, that it was James Dougall. "Well, well, Muster Maxby," he said on coming up, "it's gled I am to find you. I've been seekin' you far an' near."
The lakes will soon be sufficiently free of ice, and you are aware that you will need all your time to reach your ground and get well established before next winter sets in." "Excuse me, sir," said Lumley, turning back as he was about to depart. "Am I permitted to select the clerk who is to go with me as well as the men?" "Certainly." "Then I should like to have Mr Maxby."
"I suspect I should have died but for your thoughtful care, Dougall," I said, gratefully, as the good fellow assisted to place me in the vehicle and wrap the buffalo robes around me. "Hoots! Muster Maxby," was the remonstrative reply. Big Otter placed himself in front of the cortege to beat the track. The dogs followed him with the sleigh-bells ringing merrily.
"Yes, yes, I understand, Mr Lumley that you find it difficult to recover yourself, why, your friend Mr Maxby has not yet recovered," said the fair Jessie, turning and holding out her hand to me. She was right. I had not recovered, but stood there open-mouthed and eyed, bereft of speech, until the necessity for action was thrust upon me.
I really do not think there would be a single element wanting in the joy which it has pleased a loving God to send me, if I could only have had my dear young friend, George Maxby, to be my best man " He had to pause a few moments at this point, because of noisy demonstrations of assent.
Thus, to me, Jane Lumley became confused with Janet Spooner, so that Janet Lumley and Jane Spooner were always tripping over each other in my brain, while my dear cousin Maggie Maxby became a Maggie Spooner to Lumley, and a Maggie Lumley to Spooner, and to each sometimes a Janet or a Jane respectively.
