Suddenly they drew back, and in a sort of haze I saw Tish in Jasper's car, with Aggie, as white as death, holding to Tish's sleeve and begging her not to get in. The next moment Tish let in the clutch of the racer and Aggie took a sort of flying leap and landed beside her in the mechanician's seat. Charlie Sands saw it when I did, but we were both too late.
But Aggie says that a good many things in the Bible that she never understood are made plain to her if that is what they ate in Biblical times some of the things they saw in visions, and all that. She dropped asleep on Tish's lounge and distinctly saw Tufik murdering Hannah by forcing one of his cakes down her throat. The next month was one of real effort.
Little circles of grease melted out of them on to the plate, and Tufik, wide-eyed with triumph, sweetly wistful over Tish's tooth, humble and joyous in one minute, stood by the cake plate and fed them to us! I caught Aggie's agonized eye, but there was nothing else to do. Were we not his friends? And had he not made this delicacy for us?
Our motto is 'No quarter. I shall be harsh, and I expect no protest from either of you. They deserve everything they get." But when, after another mile or two, we came to a side trail, leading, by Tish's map, not to Many Glaciers, but up a ravine to another pass, and Tish saw that they had taken that direction, we were puzzled. But not for long. "I understand now," she said. "It is all clear.
"Why you do not let me die? My friends go on the canal! I am alone! My heart is empty!" Tish wished to roll him on a barrel, but we had no barrel; so, with Charlie Sands standing by with his watch in his hand, refusing to assist and making unkind remarks, we got him to Tish's room and laid out on her mackintosh on the bed. He did not want to live.
She became exceedingly disagreeable at about that time, said she was sure Tish's mushrooms were toadstools because she felt very queer, and suddenly gave a yell and said she had seen something moving in the bushes. We all looked, and the bushes were moving. It was dusk by that time and the path was only a thread between masses of undergrowth.
There was the faulty rearing of the McDonald youth, for instance, and Tish's aesthetic dancing. And afterward there was Aggie's hay fever, which made her sneeze and let go of a rope at a critical moment. Indeed, Aggie's hay fever may be said to be one of the fundamental causes, being the reason we went to Canada.
The detective, who was evidently very strong, only glared at her. Then he swung the canoe up on his head and, turning about, started back the way we had come. Though Hutchins and Aggie were raging, I was resigned. My neck was stiff and my shoulders ached. We finished our tea in silence and then made our way back to the river. I have now reached Tish's adventure.
Tufik had decided at last on what he would be in our so great America. Once or twice, when he was tired or discouraged, Tish had taken him out in her machine, and he had been thrilled really thrilled. He did not seem able to learn how to crank it Tish's car is hard to crank but he learned how to light the lamps and to spot a policeman two blocks away.
This was the document: 1 Dozen eggs. 20 Yards fishing-line. 1 pkg. Needles anything to sew a button on. 1 doz. A B C bass hooks. 3 lbs. Meat anything so it isn't fish. 1 bot. Ink for fountain pen. 3 Tins sardines. 1 Extractor. Well, I could not make anything of it; but, of course, I have not Tish's mind. Aggie was almost as bad. "What's an extractor?" she asked. "Exactly!" said Tish.
