To-night, however, Seaver's genial smile and hearty friendliness were like a sudden burst of sunshine on a rainy day and Bertram detested rainy days. He was feeling now, too, as if he had just had a whole week of them. "Yes, I am something of a stranger here," nodded Seaver. "But I tell you what, little old Boston looks mighty good to me, all the same. Come on! You're just the fellow we want.
'Twas a restaurant, I think. I saw just where it was, then I flew back here to telephone for Uncle William. I knew HE could do something. But well, you know the rest. I had to take you. Now come, quick; I'll show you." "But, Miss Billy, I can't! You mustn't; it's impossible," chattered old Pete. "Come, let me take ye home, Miss Billy, do!" "Home and leave Mr. Bertram with that Seaver man? No, no!"
In one of the defiles he lost his favorite horse, and in his book he bids a touching farewell to the friendly steed which had shared with him so many toils and dangers. Temple's successor in the Argentine mining provinces was Major Rickard Seaver, a member of an old Co. Dublin family. Several books of travel in South America have been published by Irish writers during the last fifty years.
She remembered, too, what the family had said afterward. But she remembered, also, that years later Bertram had told her what that escapade of hers had really done for him, and that he believed he had actually loved her from that moment. After that night, at all events, he had had little to do with Bob Seaver. And now Seaver was back again, it seemed and with Bertram. They had been seen together.
His father pays me a salary to look after his law business, and his son is the pride of his heart. I trust you understand my meaning. If you don't feel like work this morning," he continued suavely, "mount your wheel and take a run out to Winchester and see if that mortgage on the Seaver estate has been satisfied. The exercise and air will do you good."
On the memorable 8th of March, 1814, Brown sailed out of the port of Buenos Ayres with three ships to commence a campaign, which was destined to destroy the Spanish navy in this part of the waters of the New World. With him went his fellow-countrymen, Captains Seaver and Kearney.
"She did not see me before she was anæsthetized," explained Doctor Craig; and Doctor Westfall added, patting Rosalie's hand: "It's rather like a story, isn't it, Rosy? Doctor Seaver, of the staff here, was telling me this morning how Doctor Craig tried to take a year off to rest and write, but how they got him back and glad enough to have him, too. And yet we want that book.
Hastening in the side door he glanced into the wee telephone closet. No one was there, and he took down the receiver and called the Seaver Bay station. In another instant Bob's Hello came cheerily over the wire. "It's Walter, Bob." "Anything the matter, kid?" "N o. Yes. That is, something was the matter but it is all over now. I just wanted to talk to you." "Well, fire ahead.
William cleared his throat sonorously, but even that did not clear his voice. "It was her heart that led her wrong the other night," he declared. "Hers was a brave and fearless act but a very unwise one. Much as I deplore Bertram's intimacy with Seaver, I should hesitate to take the course marked out by Billy. Bertram is not a child. But tell me more of this trip of yours.
You're going to hear of him one of these days. Well, he told me all about how you'd settled down now son and heir, fireside bliss, pretty wife, and all the fixings. But, I say, Bertie, doesn't she let you out any?" "Nonsense, Seaver!" flared Bertram in annoyed wrath. "Well, then, why don't you come to-night? If you want to see Jenkins you'll have to; he's going back to New York to-morrow."
