We have met again in England, Scarlett Trent, and I have asked once more for Monty. Once more I am met with evasions. This morning I granted you a week now I take back my word. I am going to make public what I know to-morrow morning." "Since this morning, then," Trent said, "your ill-will toward me has increased." "Quite true," Francis answered.
"You're a peach," whispered Bill, gratefully "What did you do it for, mister?" "Because you were kind enough not to cut my shirt." "Say, you're all right, that's what. Would you mind havin' a drink with me? It's your money, but the drink won't be any the worse for that. We blowed most of it already, but here's what's left." Bill handed Monty a roll of bills.
"Report Rest Camp," promptly said the M.L.O., and, raising his voice, called to the waiting crowd: "All East Cheshire Details detained at Mudros." "But I have to relieve " began Monty. "Next, please. What name?" the M.L.O. burst in, looking up into Jimmy Doon's face. "Jimmy I mean, Lieutenant Doon, Fifth East Lancs." "Held up, Mudros. Report " "But my draft, sir, has " "Next, please."
Monty Bell was driving, with Mrs. Jenks-Smith at his side. The robust Lady of the Bluffs, evidently having some difficulty in keeping her balance, was clutching the side bar desperately. She was dressed in bright-figured hues from top to toe, her filmy hat had lurched over one eye, and all together she looked like a Chinese lantern, or a balloon inflated for its rise but entangled in its moorings.
Oh, what a fool I was to have wasted all this love of yours and all this love of mine. But I'll not be a profligate in love, Peggy. I'll not squander an atom of it, dear, not as long as I live." "And we will build a greater love, Monty, as we build the new life together. We never can be poor while we have love as a treasure." "You won't mind being poor with me?" he asked.
Her eyes were on Leslie's interested face and she would gladly have postponed the recital; for, even more than the disgruntled Monty, she disliked the very name of West Point. However, in this matter, as in many future ones, her own fancy was to be set aside by the eagerness of her young guests. So Dorothy went on: "There wasn't anybody else in the church except ourselves.
They turned to leave the building, and the Colonel had a moment of weakness. "Do you know, Monty," he said, "my daughter is awfully cut up about this business. She is plucky and tries not to show it, but after all a girl doesn't get over that sort of thing all in a moment. I am not saying" it seemed necessary to recede a step "that it would be an easy matter to patch up.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, you darling Aunty Eunice!" springing up to hug her guardian ecstatically. Then, with her young cheek against the older one: "And would it be too much to ask Deacon Meakin to to stay away that day?" "Why, Katharine, that couldn't be. Besides giving him offence, how could we spare him?" "Monty and I could do the chores. Bob Turner could milk.
Because I knew then, in one look, that John Chalmers and Monty Cranch were one. I had met him for the second time a wreck of a man a murderer. But the mystery of a woman's heart ! "Well," I heard Mr. Roddy say, "are we going to hang him?" "No," I cried, like a wild thing. "No, Judge. No! No! No!" "And why not?" he asked, glaring at me. "It's against your oath, sir," I said, like one inspired.
I was tired and sleepy, so I dozed away on that library davenport until the party began and there you are and here I are, and so, forgive me, Monty?" She slipped nimbly to the floor, with a maddening display of a silken ankle, advancing to the criminologist with a wistful playfulness which brought a flush of sudden feeling, to the face of Reginald Warren.
