When Mr. Sargeant read aloud the message which the wrecked balloonist was wiring to St.
"The rest of the Crescent herd has gone in to the Reserve and I have had my eye out for you for days. I thought it was about time that you were coming along." "It's a good turn you've done me this day, Sargeant," Donald heard Sandy say. "You have done many a favor for me." "Dinna be talking. It is little I ever did for you. An errand or two perhaps, or carrying a message but what is that?
But as it was, Saturday evening saw him again at the Bessemers. He had been down at his club in the library, writing the last paragraphs of his diver's story, when, just as he finished, Sargeant discovered him. "Why, Conny, old man, all alone here? Let's go downstairs and have a cigar. Hendricks and George Hands are coming around in half an hour. They told me not to let you get away."
No, M. Sargeant has seen neither 'Parry' as his report has it nor 'a Comporte. La Martinière sailed away, and old Sargeant sent his sentinel to the crow's nest a sort of loft or lighthouse built on a high hill behind the fort to hoist the signals for incoming boats and to run up the flag.
In response to his question, the hall-boy told him that Tracy Sargeant had arrived a few moments previous, and had been asking for him. The Saturday of the week before, Condy had made an engagement with young Sargeant to have supper together that night, and perhaps go to the theatre afterward.
If it were surrendered, mercy would be exercised. If taken forcibly, no power could restrain the Indians from massacre. Sargeant, as has been explained before, had his family in the fort. Just at this moment one of the gunners committed suicide from sheer terror, and Captain Outlaw came from the powder magazine with the report that there was not another ball to fire.
And now at the sight of Sargeant in the "round window" of the main room, buried in the file of the "Gil Blas," Condy was pleased to note that neither of them had forgotten the matter. Sargeant greeted him with extreme cordiality as he came up, and at once proposed a drink.
Going around with Rivers, as she does, isn't the most discreet thing in the world. Of course, it's all right, but it all makes talk, and I came across them by a grove of trees out on the links the other day " "Yes," observed Sargeant, leaning on the back of Carter's armchair; "yes; and I noticed, too, that she cut you dead.
"He warn't then, Sir," said Tom, not understanding him, "for he was only a sargeant like me at that time, but he is now, for he is an officer." "No, no," said Peter, "the king can make an offisher, but she can't make a shentleman. She took the oyster hern ainsel, and gave you the shell."
They were welcomed to a fort breakfast and passed pretty compliments to Madame Sargeant, and asked blandly after M. Radisson's health, and had the honour to express their most affectionate regard for friend Jean Chouart. Now where might Jean Chouart be? Sargeant did not satisfy their curiosity, nor did he urge them to stay overnight.
