"Propose! propose to a Russian Archduchess," cries young Tandy. "She's beautiful, she's delightful, she's witty. With this opinion likewise in my mind, I had been looking on during Clive's proceedings with Miss Ethel not, I say, without admiration of the young lady who was leading him such a dance. The waltz over, I congratulated him on his own performance.
Then Captain Will told in detail the story of the visit to Tandy, the bribe offer, the adverse report, and the way in which Tandy had made the whole affair appear to have been an effort on Duncan's part to extort a bribe and betray those who had employed him. Temple readily grasped the situation.
"We go for walk wit oo, Mollie," Paul added. "The little dears!" murmured Amy. "You wouldn't say so if you had to go all the way back with them," exclaimed the sister. "Dodo Paul, you must go home at once." "Dot any tandy?" asked Dodo, seeing, doubtless, a chance to make capital out of the escapade. "Candy! The idea!"
If that fails, the other thing won't matter much. I'll horsewhip Tandy and then go away. No, I won't go away. I won't desert in the presence of the enemy. I won't oh, I don't know what I will or won't do. All that must wait till I know my fate with Barbara." This was on the morning after his evening with Barbara the morning on which Temple first made acquaintance with Tandy.
Blackford, "she is younger than I am, I believe. But I have no certain knowledge of that. Anyhow, this is part of a letter written about the girl whom I have every reason to believe is my sister. And the part that is most interesting " "Is where " began Will. "Can't you keep still?" begged his sister. "Has 'oo dot any tandy?" and he imitated little Dodo.
"I have given little attention to social duties, Mrs. Tandy," Duncan began apologetically. "I have done next to no calling. You see " "Oh, yes, I know how it is. Mr. Tandy says you are the most 'earnest' young man in Cairo, and of course we poor women folk understand that you are too much engaged with what Mr. Tandy calls 'affairs, to give any time to us.
"I'll consider the offer. Come back in an hour for your answer." Duncan sent at once for Hallam and Stafford, as the principal stockholders in the bank, other than Tandy, and told them all that had happened. They advised the purchase, but suggested 102 as the price, and an hour later Napper Tandy ceased to be a stockholder in the X National Bank.
But neither Duncan nor Hallam was destined to make that discovery as yet. Soon after the bank matter was settled, Tandy seemed quite at ease again financially. He resumed his purchases of property along the line of the proposed railway, but only along the eastern half of it. He bought none in Cairo or within fifty miles of that city.
Tandy was right, as we know, and it was not long before an abundant breakfast was spread for Sam and Tom and little Judie. The rescue party consisted of twenty stout fellows from the fort, and after breakfast a rude litter was provided for Sam, and crossing the river in the little canoe the party began its homeward march. Tom was glad to walk, the walk being in that direction.
I can't imagine what Tandy meant by getting such a provision inserted." "Neither can I," answered Hallam; "but we'll find out some fine morning, and we must be prepared to meet whatever comes. He's up to some trick of course." When Duncan assumed control of the bank as its president, his first care was to acquaint himself minutely with its condition.
