After some hours spent in thus vainly heating about the bush, George Rennie became impatient and resolved to "storm" the stronghold! In company with his brother John, and another man named Ekron, he prepared to enter the thicket where the lion was concealed, and persuaded three of the mulattos to follow in rear, and be ready to fire if their assault should prove abortive.
I suppose it was selfish of me to want to have you all to myself. If you would like to go back to your Aunt Rennie again, dear child." I added, "you have only to say so." What Tabitha said in reply I shall never forget; but neither, friendly reader, shall I tell it to you.
You thought I was clean outta m’ senses back there in th’ Jacks when that fool Texan called out your name—didn’t you now? Well, I wasn’t an’ what he said sure made me want to know a little more—seein’ as how Hunt Rennie might well be m’ pa. He owed me a Pa, you know. M’ real pa was killed gittin’ him outta prison.
She however finished it, and then busied herself with a new bonnet for Peggy, which was to be made not at all fashionable, but big and rather dowdy. Elsie's taste rebelled a little at the uncongenial task; but she was doing her best to please Peggy when the postman delivered two letters to Jane one from Francis, and the other from Mrs. Rennie.
And Tabitha said that Aunt Rennie thought bicycling was good for her, and, when she lived with her, a year ago, her Aunt used to take her on her tours round the villages, distributing, what she called "political literature." This did make me shudder, I confess.
My father often told how Mr Anderson and he were at a dinner at Haddington, given by the East Lothian Farmers' Club, on the day of the cattle market, when Mr Rennie of Phantassie was chairman, and where, after dinner, a discussion arose about an Act of Parliament. Mr Anderson told them they were all wrong, and that the contents of the Act were so and so.
He blurted it out badly. "They also showed me about six hundred dollars in gold found on you," Rennie returned. "I thought you needed a job. You told Topham that, didn’t you?" "Yes, suh." Drew’s bewilderment grew stronger. Hunt Rennie sounded as if he believed part of Bayliss’ accusation! "That money’s rightfully mine," Drew added. "You can prove it?" "Sure. Back in Kentucky...." Drew paused.
In the half light the arrow projecting from between his shoulder blades stood out with unnatural clarity. Arrow? Drew’s wits worked slowly. The arrow must have come from one of the Pimas—Rennie had been covered, after all. So he had not believed too much in Johnny’s promises.... "You there, kid?" Someone came through the rock gap. "Hey—he’s here all right, but he’s hurt!"
Of course this proved nothing in regard to Aunt Rennie and her friends: and it was just as unreasonable that I should be expected to receive whoever happened to know her, as if he had turned out to be vulgar or odious.
He had been jointly concerned with Mr. Rennie in carrying out the important works of the Eau Brink Cut, and at Mr. Rennie's death he succeeded to much of his practice as consulting engineer. It was principally in designing and carrying out the drainage of the North Level that Mr. Telford distinguished himself in Fen drainage.
