'We are fairly happy as we are perhaps happier than we should be in any other relation, seeing what old people we have grown. The weight is gone from our lives; the shadow no longer divides us: then let us be joyful together as we are, dearest Nic, in the days of our vanity; and With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. He fell in with these views of hers to some extent.
"In that case," said Butcher Billing, "there's mischief in a state of fermentation. Did ever anybody see Nic and the devil together?" "I saw Nic and Mr. Moody together," said Dick Curtis.
The Rebellion was to be publicly declared on a certain date near at hand, but nothing definite was known; and because the Cure condemned any revolt against British rule, in spite of the evils the province suffered from bad government, every recruit who joined Nic Lavilette's standard was sworn to secrecy.
Of course nearly the whole house-party were out on the lawn watching the sunset the only day this month that it's occurred to the sun to show itself, as Mrs. Nic. viciously observed and I shall never forget the expression on her husband's face as we pulled up.
"Aren't you going to shake hands?" asked Castine, with a sort of sneer on his face. Nicolas thrust his hands down in his pockets. "I'm not so glad to see you as all that," he answered, with a contemptuous laugh. The black eyes of the bear-leader were alive with anger. "You're a damn' fool, Nic Lavilette. You think because I lead a bear eh? Pshaw! you shall see. I am nothing, eh? I am to walk on!
Nic coughed almost convulsively. "Yes, that's it, that's it! Just keep that up. Come along now. Quick- not a moment to lose! Steady! You're all right, my boy; you've got nerve, and that's the thing. Good-bye, Nic, good luck to you!" They grasped hands: the door opened swiftly, and Nic stepped outside. In an instant Ferrol was at the loophole. Raising a rifle, he fired, then again and again.
"What is it then? Bill, Dick, Tom, Harry, Ben, Jim, Nic, Mike, Mathey, or Peter?" "Neither, maester, plaze your honour, sir," said the man, with a grin that denoted he was entering into the humour of the thing, and who, as well as Frank, was a bit of a wag in his way. "Timothy's my name, at your sarvice, gen'lmen what 'ud your honours plaze to have of I?"
She turned her head away from her brother and went softly to the window, but not before she had touched the pale hand that lay nerveless upon the coverlet. "It's not feverish," she said to Nic, as if in necessary explanation of the act. She stood at the window for a moment, looking out, then said: "Come here, Nic, and tell me all about it."
Christine had the greatest difficulty in steering her partner through the maze, on account of his self-will, and when at last they reached the bottom of the long line, she was breathless with her hard labour.. Resting here, she watched Nic and his lady; and, though she had decidedly cooled off in these later months, began to admire him anew.
These reasons he would have given to Nic Lavilette, but other ulterior and malicious ideas were in his mind. He had no fear, no real fear. His body shrank, but that was because he had been little used to rough riding and to peril. But he loved this game too, though there was a troop of foes behind him; and as long as they rode behind him he would ride on.
