The river was beautiful to her, even in her sorry plight, and to-day there were little clouds in the sky, furtive, scuddy little clouds with wind-teased edges, and they cast soft shadows over the river and over the tender green of the fields and the flat, mirroring water standing level in the trenches.
"Scuddy was a big man, a better man I never knew, and you are worthy of him." They were passing out of the room when Helen pulled Larry back again. "Larry," she said, her words coming with breathless haste, "don't wait, oh, don't wait. Marry Jane before you go. That is my great regret to-day. Harry wanted to be married and I did too. But father and mother did not think it wise. They did not know.
The gentle Scuddy, still hoping against hope, had stuck fast to his charge, upon whose fortunes so much of his own depended. If he could only succeed in floating and carrying her into Portsmouth, his mark would be made, his position secured far quicker than by ten gallant actions; and that which he cared for a hundredfold, the comfort of his widowed mother, would be advanced and established.
That brave French officer spoke most highly of the honourable conduct of his English friend, but had very small hope of his safety. For he added the result of his own inquiries to the statement of M. Jalais, and from these it was clear that poor Scuddy had set forth alone in a rickety boat, ill found and ill fitted to meet even moderate weather in the open Channel.
Under her chaffing words there sounded a deeper note. "So I see," said Larry, laughing and refusing to hear the deeper undertone. "But I see something else as well." "What?" challenged Helen. "I see Scuddy leading out from Trinity some day the loveliest girl in Winnipeg." "Oh, I won't talk about Scuddy," said Helen impatiently. "I want to talk about you. Tell me about this Chicago business."
And the first is in charge of the Ville d'Anvers, so there was nobody for this enterprise except the gentle Scuddy, as they call him. He is very young for such a business, and we must do all we can to help him." "I have confidence in that young man," said Mr.
"He is waiting for an interview with somebody," thought Scuddy: "if I could only get down to that little shanty, perhaps I should hear some fine treason. The wind is the right way to bring me every word he says."
"He would be rather a nuisance if he were not so awfully useful and so jolly. After all, I do not see what we should have done without him." "Ah, a good man is Dean." "I had a letter from Jane this week," continued Nora, changing the subject abruptly. "I have not heard for two weeks," said Larry. "Then you have not heard about Scuddy. Poor Scuddy! But why say 'poor' Scuddy? He was doing his duty.
