He smiled at the whispered assurances of the Misses Phenie and Genie that they "should soon meet again." "Bring your friend that other Lord," cried the departing Miss Genie, waving a thousand-franc lace fan, as she sagely observed, "Two's company three's none. We'll have a jolly lark us four. Don't forget, now!"
But with strokes that brought cries of admiration even from her foes St. Eustace struggled gloriously to recover her lost water. Little by little the nose of her boat crept up and up, until it was almost abreast with Number Three's oar, while cries of encouragement from bridge and shore urged her on.
"Do ask him," said Eileen, becoming animated. "Two's company, three's none. Everything is lop-sided without a second man." "I'll ask him, of course," Terry said. "But I don't suppose he'll come. It is like a kid in the Lower School asking a prefect to tea. He may come for the grub. On the other hand he may give the kid a kicking for his impudence." After all, they had not to go as far as Inch.
It is part of the Three's punishment but of that you will soon learn," she went on hurriedly. "Ask me no questions now of the Silent Ones. I thought it better for Olaf to go with Rador, to busy himself, to give his mind other than sorrow upon which to feed." Up the path came five of the frog-women, bearing platters and ewers.
I'm tired to death of settin' down to the table alone. One more wouldn't be no better. Three's the kind of a crowd I like. Two's no company. Don't you say so, cap'n?" "I prefer to choose my company, that's all I say," the cap'n answered gallantly. Jake looked from one to the other and then back again. What he saw scarcely pleased him, but it had to be accepted. "All right," said he.
"Well, Seattle Charley told me they was plum petered out. Most of 'em's died, I believe. But two or three's alive. That Indian musher across the creek's got 'em, doctoring of 'em up, Charley says. He reckons to pull some round, an' make a bit on 'em, I suppose. But this feller here, he's too far gone, Jim. You can see he's done." "Ah! Well, good night, Jock." "S'long!"
"Because we're going to camp inside the hut, and two's company and three's more of a crowd than I like. This old chap can stop out here for the night; I don't suppose he'll mind it much. If he's gone to the Abode of the Blessed he'll be above worrying over such mundane matters, and if he's anywhere else he'll be too much occupied to do anything but attend to the burnt spots."
There'll be plenty to welcome me home when I go. One of the three's in Canada, and can't come. Another's in Australia, and he can't come. But Maggie's not far off, and she's got leave from her mistress to come for a week only we don't want her to come till I'm nearer my end.
"Well done, youngster," cried the man. "You've been at sea before." "Yes, often," I replied, "but where's the doctor?" "I'll show you, sir. Number three's his cabin. Next but two to the skipper's. But your messmate's only got the Channel chump, has he?" "I think he's only sea-sick, but he says it was the meat last night." "Clck!"
"I know three's a crowd," he called out cheerily as he presently drew rein, "but I ain't a-goin' to stay; I jest Why, where's grandma?" he added, abruptly, seeing the old man alone. "I'm shore I heard " "You jest heerd me a-talkin' to myself, doctor or not to myself, exactly, neither that is to say, when you come up I was addressin' my remarks to this here pill." "Bill? I don't see no bill."
