They parted in silence, and Rotha walked towards a little company gathered under the glow of a red sun on the highway, and almost in front of the village inn. They were the "new preachers" of whom Liza had spoken. The same that had, according to Robbie's landlady, foretold the plague. They were three men, and they stood in the middle of a ring of men, women, and children.
With a firm step, with upright and steadfast gaze, he walked between two soldiers; and close at his heels, with downcast eyes, Simeon Stagg toiled along. Robbie's quest was at an end. It was all over now. The weary chase was done, and Robbie Anderson came late.
Beatrice Leigh and Lila Allan and a number of their liveliest friends lived up there on the fifth, with Berta Abbott at the foot of the stairs near Robbie's place of abode. Just as Robbie's usually serene brow was puckering its hardest over the sequence of tenses, a door banged open in the tower and the stairs creaked under swift clatter of feet a dozen at the very least.
A man was conversing with him; he had white stockings and a moleskin waistcoat, and was as ill-looking a rogue as you would want to see in a day's journey. Thence I made my way to Mr. Robbie's, where I rang the bell. A servant answered the summons, and told me the lawyer was engaged, as I had half expected. "Wha shall I say was callin'?" she pursued: and when I had told her "Mr.
Anyhow, the two of them spend all their income in entertaining. It's Robbie's fad to play the perfect host he likes to have lots of people round him. He does put up good times only he's so very important about it, and he has so many ideas of what is proper! I guess most of his set would rather go to Mrs. Jack Warden's any day; I'd be there to-night, if it hadn't been for Ollie." "Who's Mrs.
Robbie's eyes were staring out of his head. His face, not too ruddy at first, was now as pale as ashes. Liza began to whimper. "Why do you look like that?" she said. "Look? Oh, ey, ey! I'm a ruffian, that's what I am. Never mind, lass." Robbie's eyes regained their accustomed expression, and his features, which had been drawn down, returned to their natural proportions.
The strange junior who had chosen Robbie's name from the class list and undertaken to escort her to the party found awaiting her a rumpled young ghost with raiment that sagged and bagged quite distressingly in unexpected places. But the eyes that shone from between the crooked bands of white were joyous with excitement.
"It was good of you, Robbie, to warn me; but I can't leave home yet; my father must be buried, you know." "Ah!" said Robbie in an altered tone, "poor Angus!" Ralph looked closely at his companion, and thought of Robbie's question last night in the inn. "Tell me," he said, glancing searchingly into Robbie's eyes, "did you know anything about old Wilson's death?" The young dalesman seemed abashed.
We therefore scrambled over some abutting rocks into a further bay, and still onward along the rough beach as far as the stack of Hellia a great steep rock standing out in the sea under the frowning height of St. John's Head and here we found as large a number of birds as we had formerly seen. We had arranged to take our shots turn about, and now it was Robbie's turn.
To his great relief he saw that Jessie's attention was so entirely taken up with removing the stains of the preserves from the cupboard shelves and dishes, that she for the moment forgot everything else, Robbie's stockings included.
