"I will see that you don't lose your place, and I give you my word again that Charles Wrexell Allen has never been aboard this yacht, or at Mohair to my knowledge. What is more, I will prove it to-morrow to your satisfaction." McCann's faith was touching. "Ye're not to say another word, sir," he said, and he stuck out his big hand, which I grasped warmly.
"That is rather severe," he assented. "He decamped for Mohair, as you know, and since that time she has gone back on every word of it. She is with him morning and evening, and, to crown all, stood up for him through thick and thin to-day, and praised him. What do you think of that?" "What I should have expected in a woman," said he, nonchalantly. "They aren't all alike," I retorted.
Binns, an English gentleman at Angora, engaged in the exportation of mohair, and contains an invitation to become his guest while at Angora.
You may imagine my surprise when I read that I had been leading a dance out at Mohair, or some such barbarous place in the northwest. I wondered who in the devil it might be who had taken my name and occupation, and all that. You see, I had just relieved the company of a little money, and it hit me like a clap of thunder one day that the idiot was you. But I couldn't be sure.
In several examples the body was of stout English wool, with a face of finest Australia, in some cases, of mohair, and, in one instance, a most beautiful article was produced by putting a face of vicuna on British wool. As at present conducted, the process of a woollen factory up to certain stages of machinery is the same as that of a cotton factory.
Their graceful garb consists of a long white loose-sleeved shirt, over which they wear either a long black mohair or silk gown, or a deep bright blue affair, not altogether unlike a University gown, only with more stuff in it and more folds.
Miss Thorn straightened up with dignity and said: "You do him an injustice. But perhaps you will learn to appreciate him before he leaves Mohair." "That is not likely," I replied not at all pleasantly, I fear. And again I thought I observed in her the same desire to laugh she had before exhibited. And all the way back her talk was of nothing except the Celebrity.
He presented the Celebrity to his wife, and then invited both of us to go inside with him by one of those neat and cordial paraphrases in which he was skilled. I preferred to remain with Mrs. Cooke, and it was with a gleam of hope at a possible deliverance from my late persecution that I watched the two disappear together through the hall and into the smoking-room. "How do you like Mohair?"
"DEAR CROCKER: Where are you? Where is the judge? I corralled the judge, and we started off across the fields, in no very mild state of fear of that gentleman's wife, whose vigilance was seldom relaxed. And thus we came by a circuitous route to Mohair, the judge occupied by his own guilty thoughts, and I by others not less disturbing.
Here came many officers to stay, and their red coats used to please my eyes as I went by the porch, where at evening I saw them smoking long pipes, and saying not very nice things of the local gentry, or of the women as they passed by, and calling "Mohair!" after the gentlemen, a manner of army word of contempt for citizens.
