"From the windward side, I hope," said the lieutenant, gently. "I am going right on the raft," declared Kate, stoutly, "if we can only find Ranald." "Meaning who, exactly?" questioned De Lacy. "A lumberman whom Maimie adores." "How happy!" said De Lacy. "Nonsense, Lieutenant De Lacy," said Maimie, impatiently and a little haughtily; "he is a friend of my aunt's up in the county of Glengarry."
"Do you care to know it, Ranald?" "Ay, with all my heart," I said. And so I put it very carefully under the broad, golden-studded baldric of Sigurd's sword. And it would not stay there, and Etheldreda laughed at me, and took a little golden brooch like a cross that she wore, and pinned it through glove and baldric, making all safe.
It was with great difficulty I could begin, but with the help of questioning me, my father at length understood the whole matter. He paused for a while plunged in thought; then rose, saying, "It's a serious affair, my dear boy; but now you have told me, I shall be able to help you." "But you knew about it before, didn't you, papa? Surely you did!" "Not a word of it, Ranald.
Their feet should never be off pavement." "Never you mind," said Ranald, quietly. "I am coming after you, and perhaps before night the blacks may show you their heels yet." "There's lots of room," said Aleck, scornfully, and they both set to work with all the skill and strength that lay in themselves and in their teams.
So he took Peter off by himself, and without much difficulty, persuaded him to act the magnanimous part and drop the quarrel. With Ranald he had a harder task. That young man was prepared to see his quarrel through at whatever consequences to himself. He knew the McRaes, and knew well their reputation, but that only made it more impossible for him to retreat.
With her head low down, while she struck the chords of the hymn they had just sung, she said, hesitatingly, "I am not sorry." "Sorry for what?" said Harry. "Oh, nothing," said Maimie, lightly. "Nobody is, if he has got any sense." Then Mrs. Murray came in. "Won't you stay for supper, Ranald? You must be hungry." "No, thank you," said Ranald. "I must go now."
Yes, it is Yankee for sure! And de Macdonald gang, but" turning to Ranald "who are YOU?" he said again. "Never mind," said Ranald, shortly, "let us get away now, quick! Go on, Yankee." At once, with Yankee leading, the Glengarry men marched off the field of battle bearing with them the rescued party. There was no time to lose. The enemy far outnumbered them, and would soon return to the attack.
"He thinks it is a very queer way of lumbering, and the wages he considers excessive." "Does he say that?" asked Kate. "That's just what Colonel Thorp says his company are saying. But he stands up for Ranald even when he can't see that his way is the best. The colonel is not very sure about Ranald's schemes for the men, his reading-room, library, and that sort of thing.
But with the bright, joyous little laugh Ranald knew so well, she smoothed back Harry's hair, and kissing him on the forehead, said: "I am sure you will do good work some day. But I shall be quite spoiled here; I must really get home." As Ranald left the Raymond house he knew well what he should say to Mr. St. Clair next morning. He wondered at himself that he had ever been in doubt.
I just treat him as I do Mr. De Lacy." "De Lacy!" cried Kate, indignantly. "De Lacy can look after himself, but Ranald is different. He is so serious and and so honest, and he means just what he says, and you are so nice to him, and you look at him in such a way!" "Why, Kate, do you mean that I try to " Maimie was righteously indignant.
