Little Scoutbush comes down often to Aberalva now, and oftener to his Irish estates. He is going to marry the Manchester lady after all, and to settle down; and try to be a good landlord; and use for the benefit of his tenants the sharp experience of human hearts, human sorrows, and human duty, which he gained in the Crimea two years ago. And Major Campbell? Look on Cathcart's Hill.
"My dear fellow," said Scoutbush en grand sérieux, "after all that you have done for our people at Aberalva, I should be very much shocked if any of my family thought any service shown to you a trouble." "Pray do not speak so," said Frank, "I am fallen among angels, when I least expected." "Scoutbush as an angel!" shrieked Lucia, clapping her hands.
Therefore Campbell seldom argued with him: but he prayed for him often; for he had begun, as all did who saw much of Tom Thurnall, to admire and respect him, in spite of all his faults. And now, turning through a woodland path, they descend toward the river, till they can hear voices below them; Scoutbush laughing quietly, Trebooze laying down the law at the top of his voice.
But it is difficult, again, to conceive that those errors were altogether unforeseen by many an officer of Campbell's experience and thoughtfulness. "We will talk no more of it just now." And they walked up to Penalva Court, seriously enough. "Well, Scoutbush, any letters from town?" said the Major. "Yes." "You have heard what has happened at D Barracks?" "Yes."
Headley receives the subscriptions, my lord," said Grace, drawing back from the proffered note. "Of course," quoth Scoutbush, trusting again to an impromptu: "but this is for yourself a small mark of our sense of your your usefulness."
But he is so improved since then; he is like an elder brother to Scoutbush; guides him in everything. I call him the blind man, and the major his dog!" "So much the worse," thought Elsley, who disliked the notion of Campbell's having power over a man to whom he was indebted for his house-room: but by this time they were at Mrs. Harvey's door. Mrs.
"I shall die if I stay here; die if I do nothing! I must find him!" whispered she. "Don't speak loud, or Clara will hear. I can find him, and nobody can but me! Why don't you help me to pack, Valencia?" "My dearest! but what will Scoutbush say when he comes home, and finds you gone?" "What right has he to interfere?
And the little fellow laughed so good-naturedly, that Elsley could not help liking him: and feeling that he would be both a fool, and cruel to his family, if he refused so good an offer, he gave in to the scheme, and went out to arrange matters: while Scoutbush went out into the hall with Campbell, and scrambled into his pea-jacket, to go off to the yacht that moment.
"This is too wretched all a horrid dream and when, too when I had been counting on telling you something so different! I cannot now, I have not the heart." "What, more misery?" "Oh no! no! no! You will know all to-morrow. Ask Scoutbush." "I shall be gone in search of that man long before Scoutbush is awake." "Impossible! you do not know whither he is gone."
And the two swing up the street, and out of the town, along the vale toward Trebooze. For Trebooze of Trebooze has invited them, and Lord Scoutbush, and certain others, to come out otter-hunting; and otter-hunting they will go.
