Scarboro would have died rather than vary by one jot or tittle her usual refreshments, or wear a new frock, on that particular night. Yet the occasion, despite its mild diversions, was distinctly epochal, in that it marked the reunion of Hyndsville. Even Mr. Nicholas Jelnik, for the first time, put in his decorative appearance, to The Author's fidgety surprise.
That copper must be something extraordinary, or he'd never take such a precaution," said Eric. Zurich answered as they saddled: "If we had followed them in there, we would have lost forty miles. As it is, they gain twenty miles on us while we ride back round the north end of the mountain, besides an hour I lost hoofing it back." "I don't see that we've lost much," said Jim Scarboro.
We were snatched after the whale at racing speed and saw the fellows aboard hanging over the rail grinning at us like spectators at a horse race. "Them sculpins wouldn't grin so broad if the critter had bumped the Scarboro," declared Tom Anderly. The beast lay quiet for a bit and we pulled up on him. Before Gibson could get him with the lance gun again, he sounded.
I abhor cards, outside of draw-poker on shipboard, with a crook of sorts sitting in to lend the game a fillip. Despite the fact that poor Mrs. Scarboro couldn't lay hands on a decent crook to save her life, I think I shall go, and thereby acquire merit," he concluded, with the air of a martyr. I looked at him gratefully.
As she left Scarboro Beach on her port beam and began to nose in toward Peak's Island the sea calmed and by the time the cruiser was ready to drop her anchor in Portland harbour, Joe, albeit still rather greenish, had pulled himself back to deck to gaze approvingly at the shore.
We left the gulls and the sharks behind, with the bark and the rotting whales, and soon they were all far away mere specks upon the horizon. I had covered, perhaps, almost as much open sea when I was blown out of Bolderhead in the sloop, as now lay between the Scarboro and Cape St. Antonio. But, as you might say, I had taken that first trip blindly.
General Howard was south of the Ogeechee River, with the Fifteenth Corps, opposite Scarboro'. General Slocum was at Buckhead Church, four miles north of Millen, with the Twentieth Corps. Thus the whole army was in good position and in good condition.
Cameron tried to take to Scarboro?" demanded Madge Steele. The boys piled out of their sledge before Ruth could answer these questions, and she was unable to give a very vivid explanation of all that had happened to her since leaving the train, until the whole party was gathered before one of the open fires in the hall, waiting for dinner.
She failed to intimidate him, for he was a foeman worthy of her steel; but she left his bed and board, and left in a manner that kept up the credit of the Stover family of Scarboro. They had had a stormy breakfast one morning before he started to Portland with a load of hay. "Good-by," she called, as she stood in the door, "you've seen the last of me!"
"But for this quick wit and the gathering's response to the appeal he would have been in the same boat with us, or rather, on the same boat the old hand ferry! Subsequently, he became a speaker of foreign and national repute, but at that time he might have traveled from Scarboro' to Land's End without attracting a passing glance."
