"You are dear father's and Scar's cruel enemy; but please, please, Fred, don't let them do us any harm." "Don't be afraid, dreadful enemy," said Fred, smiling, as he saw the depth of his old playmate's hatred. "I'll do everything I can, Lil dear, for all your sakes. Good-bye, if I do not see you again."
I believe you're a reg'lar sham, sir, pretendin' that Master Scar's your enemy, and all the time you seem as if you'd go through fire and water to help him. Why, we shall be having your father and Sir Godfrey shaking hands and dining together just as they did in the old times."
And full across this crown, disappearing in the thicker fringe above the ears, ran the most prodigious scar I had ever seen. Because the vision of it was so fleeting, ere the match blew out, and because of the scar's very prodigiousness, I may possibly exaggerate, but I could have sworn that I could lay two fingers deep into the horrid cleft and that it was fully two fingers broad.
"Oh, yes," said Muriel. "Helen Dalton is a friend of mine. Although the Scar's some way off, I see her now and then. But are you going there?" "I am; I wish it wasn't needful," Festing answered rather gloomily. "Ah!" said Muriel, giving him a sharp glance. "Helen was to have married a man in Canada, but the engagement was broken off. Do you know him?" "I do. That's why I'm going to the Scar.
His thoughts were divided between his charge and Scar's blow and insulting, contemptuous conduct, which rankled bitterly, for he could not help feeling that the men would judge him according to their lights; and, think of the matter how he would, he felt that he had placed himself at a disadvantage. "If I had only struck him back I wouldn't have cared." "Thought that over, sir?"
The captain was on a hawse an' the men afoot an' the dust from the dirt road a flyin'. There was a moon shinin' an' you could see the muskets shinin' in the moonlight. I was settin' on a fence an' when I seen 'em it scared me so I started to run. When I jumped off I fell an' cut a hole in my for'head right over this left eye. The scar's there yet. I run in the house and hid. Mr.
"My left heel, the scar's there now." "I know," Roy said. This was the first time that their queer friend had ever spoken of his early life. He smiled again, that pleasant, companionable smile. "How did you know?" he asked. "I tell us about it," Roy said. "I stepped on a scythe in the hayfield. I thought I told Doctor Cawson." "No, you never told him," said Warde, gently.

"He was here a bit ago, though I didn't see him." "Then, how do you know he was here?" "Because nobody else wouldn't " "Wouldn't what?" "Well, you see, Master Fred, it was like this here.
And so I wanted you to take the thing between you half to each the scar's between them, so you'll share that too. Remember it, and tell your children some time. And they can pass on the legacy to theirs with all the hopes and prayers and tears it brought only let the name be forgotten!"
