We don't need any diagram to understand what Auntie is up to. Just one of her old tricks a speedy packin' up and a casual getaway for Jamaica. Say, wouldn't that crack your faith in human nature? And she proceeds to announce her scheme as placid as if it was something she'd thought out special for our benefit. "Excuse me," says I, "but you ain't plannin' on Vee's goin' along, too, are you?"
I know you're plannin' to leave us all and go away somewheres and that he told you to go, and all that. I know what you've been doin' up here to-night. Fur's that goes," she added, with a little catch in her breath and a wave of her hand toward the open trunk and suitcase upon the floor, "I wouldn't need to know, I could SEE." Albert was surprised and confused.
Anyhow, he proposes we share a stateroom on the Limited, and he's been recommendin' his hotel in New York. I was kind of plannin' to be a swell, and hang out at the Waldorf-Astoria, to see the nobs at home. But his place sounds nice, and I like bein' with him pretty well. He's lit up with bright ideas and maybe he'll pass on some to me.
"I hev put in two years' hard work on them acres," he told his visitor, "an' I'm not plannin' to give them over to the first fool favored by the Service. My title is as clean as my hand. It'll take more'n thievery an' more'n spite to take it away from me." "You better go to Robinson," advised the bearer of the letter; "can't get after them fellers too soon.
"Then it lengthened into a week; an' the Lord only knows now how much longer he's plannin' to hang round the place. Besides, if he's only makin' a short visit, it's less likely than ever he'd want to put in the whole of it tinkerin' with you.
"I don't know why, but I thought of the wild geese that Dan had seemed to be followin'. "'Ride north, I said. "An' sure enough, they rode north an' found him. After that I didn't have no trouble with him about runnin' away at least not durin' the summer. An' all those months I kept plannin' how I would take care of this boy who had come wanderin' to me.
And like enough he knew what he was plannin' to do, and didn't expect me to finish it all up for him in fo'-five years. Since then I've been leavin' it to him more takin' a hand when I could, but payin' more attention to livin'. I sort o' reckon that's what he made us for to live. The' 's a good deal o' fin in it if you go at it right." "That's a great idea, Uncle William," said the artist.
"He seems to have spent most of his time plannin' for other folks," she said. "He didn't come through the sitting room," said Lulie, "so he must be in the kitchen with Primmie. I'm going to find him." But she did not find him. Primmie said that Mr. Bangs had come out into the kitchen, taken his hat and coat, and left the house by the back door.
"Where does the girl live? Do you know?" "Sure; I 'm wise; she has a couple of dandy rooms over at the old fort, just across the creek; you know where that is, don't you?" She nodded silently, her eyes brightening with resolution. "It 's a blame tough bit of hiking to take alone on a dark night like this," he commented gravely. "You was n't plannin' to try any such trip as that, was you, Miss?"
I hope to God they'll git the surprise of their lives. They're devils, that's what they are, an' I hope the mast-cutters'll kill every damn one of them. Look what they've done to me an' Tom." "When are they planning to attack the mast-cutters?" "Sometime to-morrow night. They're plannin' to murder every one of them. An' they'll do it fer sure, the devils, unless the mast-cutters are warned."
