"Miss McTavish," he said, "was for telling you at once; but she left the matter entirely to my discretion. I have thought best to tell you." "Would the law," asked McTavish, "oust Miss McTavish and stand me in her shoes?" "The law," said Traquair pointedly, "would not do the former, and," with a glance at McTavish's feet, "the Auld Nick could not do the latter." McTavish laughed.
I'll tell you the things I've seen floating around in the sunlight, where the flies are worrying, while I've been sitting around here looking at that gun you grabbed from Murray. It's a tough yarn that'll sicken you. But it's right. And you'll learn it's right before the police set their rope around Murray McTavish's neck. I don't think Murray's early history needs to figger.
It was evident from the tone of McTavish's reply that he did not care much what should become of either wife or daughter just then, for he saw that his male friends were laughing at him, but he was fortunately relieved by Jerry Goldboy coming up at the moment with the blunderbuss on his shoulder and informing Mrs McTavish that her "pet," a lamb which had been recently purchased from one of the Tarka boers, was at large, with two or three hungry dogs looking earnestly at it!
"I don't know. However, it won't be a difficult task to find a better man than you." "I'll nae let him work." McTavish's voice deepened to a growl. "You worked that racket on my father. Try it on me, and you'll answer to me personally. Lay the weight of your finger on your successor, Mac, and you'll die in the county poor-farm. No threats, old man! You know the Cardigans; they never bluff."
And, say, get a tally of McTavish's outfit. Get their time schedule. I'll need it. So long." Kars followed his personal baggage which a quayside porter had taken on to the grandiosely named mail train. John Kars was standing at the curtained window of Dr. Bill's apartment in the Hoffman Apartment House. His back was turned on the luxuriously furnished room.
Colland McTavish, your great-grandfather, and The McTavish's great-grandfather, were brothers and the poor bereft mother that put up this tablet was your great-great-grandmother, and hers." "Surely then," said he, "The McTavish would let me put a roof on the chapel. I'd like to," he said, and the red came strongly into his cheeks. "I'll ask her.
Above the scattering of Sniders could be heard the pumping of Brown's and McTavish's Winchesters all against a background of demoniacal screeching and yelling. "They've got them on the run," Harriwell remarked, as voices and gunshots faded away in the distance. Scarcely were Brown and McTavish back at the table when the latter reconnoitered. "They've got dynamite," he said.
Traquair," he said, "I'm young and a stranger. I wish you could find it in your heart to be an uncle to me." Traquair accepted a cigarette and sat down, first assuring himself that the stone steps were dry. "If I were your nephew," said McTavish, "and came to you all out of breath, and told you that I wished to marry Miss McTavish's housekeeper, what would you say?"
Again we passed the idyllic shores of Moorea, glimpsed the grove of Daphne and McTavish's bungalow at Urufara, and saw the heights, the desolated castle, the marvels of light and shade upon the hills and valleys, left the silver circlet of the reef, and made the open sea.
Their attitude was considered to be stated with sufficient clearness by Angus Frazer in McTavish's store one day.
