"I would be pleased to have you point out the illegality in court," said Keith coldly, his manner as frosty as Neil's. "And if conspiracy exists, your name is affixed to it." Neil pondered this point a moment, then drew his checkbook toward him with a grim little smile. "Young man, you win," said he. Keith thawed to sunniness at once.
Even if Elder McCakeron had paid Neil's bill of damage instead of remarking that he "didna see as the turnips had hurt his cows," the thing would have addled in the egg; and his recalcitrancy, so necessary to the hatching, has caused many a wise pow to shake over the inscrutability of Providence.
Simson examined the injury quickly and called for the doctor, who probed Neil's shoulder with knowing fingers, while the latter's white face was being sopped with the dripping sponge. "Right shoulder's dislocated, Jim," said Dr. Prentiss quietly to the trainer. "Take hold here; put your hands here, and pull toward you steadily. Now!" Then Neil fainted.
I know Morrison's dying for a yarn with you, but he must wait." Tommy nodded contentedly. "I can wait," he observed; "it's a habit I've cultivated where Neil's concerned." We all clambered into the car, and, slipping in his clutch Latimer set off at a rapid pace in the direction of Queenborough. It was not until we had rounded the first corner that he opened the conversation.
The water soaked through to his hot, numb body, restoring his reason and strength, and he buried his face in it and drank like one who had been near to dying of thirst. Then he returned to Neil. Winnsome was holding his head in her arms. He dropped upon his knees beside them and saw that life was returning full and strong in Neil's face. "You will be able to walk in a few minutes," he said.
"Neil, a man can die easier when he knows that a woman loves him!" He had risen to his feet and was walking back and forth through the thick gloom. "I'm glad!" Neil's voice came to him softly, as though he scarcely dared to speak the words aloud. After a moment he added, "Have you got a pencil, Nat? I would like to leave a little note for Winnsome."
Neil's greetings of the family were also highly characteristic. One who had never before seen him might have argued many things from the style of his opening address: "This is Alec, eh? Well, Alec, I see you're still the flower of the family. Bob how do you like sweeping out offices? Better than going to school? And here's Uncle Thomas beg pardon Uncle Joshua. Not got it right yet, Sally?
Neil rather prided himself on his ability to fall on the ball, and went at it like an old stager, or so he thought. But if he expected commendation he found none. When the last man had rolled around after the elusive pigskin, Mills went to the other end of the line and did it all over again. When it came Neil's turn he plunged out, found the ball nicely, and snuggled it against his breast.
Perhaps for she was marvellously quick to catch and interpret every fleeting change of expression in his voice and face she discerned what Eric did not know himself that his eyes clouded and grew moody at the mention of Neil's name. Once she asked him naively, "Are there many people like you out in the world?" "Thousands of them," said Eric, laughing. She looked gravely at him.
Jerrold may think differently. I am dressed for him, and as I like it I mean to wear it," Bessie answered, curtly, but with a bright smile, as she looked into Neil's face. "Oh, well; chacun a son gout," he said, consulting his watch, and adding: "It is time I was starting for the station; the train is due in fifteen minutes."
