Weel, there's a curran Ogilvys among the guests, and it was them that egged on her little leddyship to make the daring proposal to the earl. What was the proposal? It was no less than that the twa pipers should be ordered to play 'The Bonny House o' Airlie. Dominie, I wonder you can tak it so calm when you ken that's the Ogilvy's sang, and that it's aimed at the clan o' Campbell." "Pooh!" I said.
Ogilvy's water company, obtaining a temporary restricting order preventing the ordinance from going at once into effect. Here was an affair in point. Were it not for lawyers of the calibre of Watling, Fowndes and Ripon, hard-earned private property would soon be confiscated by the rapacious horde. Once in a while I was made aware that Mr. Watling had his eye on me.
If you do, I shall have to place a nice little pair of handcuffs on you and throw you in jail and if you resist arrest, I shall have to shoot you. I have one of these little restraining orders for every able-bodied man in the Laguna Grande Lumber Company's employ thanks to Mr. Ogilvy's foresight; so it is useless to try to beat this game on a technicality."
The delight with which Pope, when a schoolboy, read Ogilvy's 'Homer' was, most probably, the origin of the English 'Iliad; as the 'Percy Reliques' fired the juvenile mind of Scott, and stimulated him to enter upon the collection and composition of his 'Border Ballads. Keightley's first reading of 'Paradise Lost, when a boy, led to his afterwards undertaking his Life of the poet.
At the station there were more farewells, for here was the notary, who had managed Miss Ogilvy's Swiss affairs and now, under the direction of Monsieur Boiset, attended to those of Godfrey.
Let's try some of them." So they did try. Various Ogilvys there were, but none who gave them any clue. This was not strange, as both Miss Ogilvy's parents had died in Australia, when she was young, leaving her to be brought up by an aunt of another name in England, who was also long dead. So Mr. Knight retreated baffled.
To think of an angel like that WORKING to think of a brute like you making her work!" "Love at first sight, eh, Buck?" "I don't know what it is, but it's nice. Who is she?" "She's Moira McTavish, and you're not to make love to her. Understand? I can't have you snooping around this office after to- day." Mr. Ogilvy's eyes popped with interest. "Oh," he breathed.
Ogilvy's return to Sequoia following his three-weeks tour in search of rights of way for the N. C. O. was heralded by a visit from him to Bryce Cardigan at the latter's office. As he breasted the counter in the general office, Moira McTavish left her desk and came over to see what the visitor desired. "I should like to see Mr. Bryce Cardigan," Buck began in crisp businesslike accents.
Still, I am glad that in this case another was not added to my long list of disappointments." "I didn't act at all, Pasteur," blurted out Godfrey. "A voice, I thought it was Miss Ogilvy's, told me what to do, and I obeyed." The old gentleman smiled and shook his head, as he answered: "It is ever thus, young Friend.
Having thrust his nephew into the cottage, Captain Ogilvy's first proceeding was to close the outer shutter of the window and fasten it securely on the inside. Then he locked, bolted, barred, and chained the outer door, after which he shut the kitchen door, and, in default of any other mode of securing it, placed against it a heavy table as a barricade.
