Resounding cheers arose and echoed from the hills when old Uncle Jeb Rushmore, retired ranchman and tracker, and scout manager of the big camp, took his seat among the high dignitaries. He made some concession to the occasion by wearing a necktie which was half way around his neck, and by laying aside his corn-cob pipe.
Will you please explain? 'I mean, it is outrageous that Mrs. Rushmore should have told you 'You're quibbling! Margaret broke in angrily. 'You know very well what I mean. It's an outrage that a man should put a woman under an enormous obligation in spite of herself, without her even knowing it!
'But I don't say anything, Margaret protested. 'I daresay it is. 'I know it is, retorted Mrs. Rushmore with cold emphasis. 'What business has a man to wear such jewellery? He's an adventurer, and nothing else. 'He's one of the richest men in Paris for all that, observed Margaret. 'There! exclaimed Mrs. Rushmore. 'Now you're defending him! I told you so! 'I don't quite see 'Of course not.
I saw him going back up the hill for all he was worth and then I sat down beside the road to wait for him. I got to thinking about the house-boat and the fun we'd have cruising up the Hudson and how Skinny would get fat and eat a lot, and especially how he'd stare when he saw Jeb Rushmore. He's our camp manager, and just wait till you see him, that's all I say.
I have come to see you in order to propose that you should compromise the suit about that invention. Mrs. Rushmore drew herself up against the straight back of the garden chair and glared at him in polite wrath. 'You will pardon my saying that I consider your interferences very much out of place, sir, she said.
The appointment at the theatre confirmed this surmise, and when Margaret telegraphed the next day that she was going to stay in town until the afternoon, with Madame De Rosa, there was no longer any room for doubt. As for poor Lushington, Margaret had told him nothing at all, and her visit to Madame Bonanni had been a secret between herself and Mrs. Rushmore.
He recognised her step and turned sharp round on his heels, still filling the door but exposing his broad back to the visitor. 'Very odd person asking to see Miss Donne, ma'am, he said in low and hurried tones. 'Shall I say "not at home," ma'am? 'By all means "not at home," James, said Mrs. Rushmore.
Rushmore felt as if she were in danger of being turned out of it to make room. 'Margaret is in the garden, she said. 'I am so pleased to meet you, Madame Bonanni! I hope you'll stay to lunch. Do come in, and I'll send for her. James! All this was said while the two large hands were mildly shaking one another; Mrs.
Any troop of scouts could, by making timely application to the trustees, go to Temple Camp and remain three weeks without so much as a cent of cost. Jeb Rushmore was to be the camp manager, working with the trustees and the visiting scoutmasters; but as it turned out he became a character in this scout village, and if he fell short in executive capacity he more than made up for it in other ways.
'I'm sorry, said Logotheti, rather absently and as if her anger did not affect him in the least, if he even noticed it. 'I happened to want the invention for a company in which I am interested. You stood in the way of my having the whole thing, so I was obliged to buy you out. I'm very sorry that it happened to be you, and that Mrs. Rushmore could not keep the fact to herself.
