At least Maballa assured him that this was so, and Melisse gave evidence of it by her ecstatic joy when he returned. When Cummins came back from Fort Churchill in the autumn, he brought with him a pack full of things for Melisse, including new books and papers, for which he had spent a share of his season's earnings.
The visitor at La Chine rapids, near Montreal, might have seen a squadron of Northwestern trading canoes leaving for the Grand Portage, at the west of Lake Superior. The boatmen, or "engagés," having spent their season's gains in carousal, packed their blanket capotes and were ready for the wilderness again.
The day after the notes fell due this sum which was to have been paid from the sale of his season's flowers a gentleman dressed all in black came to the house and handed us a stamped paper. It was the process server. He came often; so many times that he soon began to know us by name. "How do you do, Mlle. Etiennette? Hello, Remi; hello, Alexix!"
"Don't wait until the season's over." She stirred in aggravation as she said this. "There you go again," he observed. "One would think I never did anything, the way you begin." "Well, I want to know about it," she reiterated. "You've got a few days yet," he insisted. "You'll not want to start before the races are over."
I asked Clancy about that part if there was not a chance that Maurice might not stay down the Cape shore way and let the race go. But he only laughed and said, "Lord Joey-boy, you've a lot to learn yet about Maurice in spite of your season's seining along with him." It was a Monday morning when Clancy and I reached Gloucester. The race was to be sailed on Friday of that same week.
Among the other treasures recovered by this season's work was a quantity of fine painted pottery which had fallen from the upper rooms into the basement when the palace floors collapsed. Some of the fragments were of that early polychrome style known as 'Kamares ware, from the cave on the southern slope of Mount Ida, where it was first discovered by Mr. J. L. Myres.
His trouble with Tom was an individual matter, and a little patience on McGaw's part was advised. The season's work was over, and nothing of importance could be done until the opening of the spring business. If Tom's men struck now, she would be glad to get rid of them. It would, therefore, be wiser to wait until she could not do without them, when they might all be forced out in a body.
I learnt that the Mississippi had but recently arrived from France, and that she had only been three weeks upon the ground she had taken up for the season's whaling. As yet no whales had been seen, and the season was said not to commence before the end of June or beginning of July.
Fisher, her head over a trunk, from which she was taking summer dresses. "Polly, I think you'll get one more season's wear out of this pink cambric." "Oh! I am so glad," cried Polly, "for I had such splendidly good times in it," with a fond glance at the pink folds and ruffles. "Well, if Phronsie is over at Helen's, there's no use in asking her to go down town with us."
Now, however, after a winter of idleness, my worst fear was that I might be left at home with the ranch work, and thus miss the season's outing entirely. There were new charms in the Buford contract which thrilled me, its numerical requirements, the sight of the Yellowstone again, and more, to be present at the largest delivery of the year to the government.
