"Fact," replied MacDavid calmly, knocking the ashes out of his pipe, "It was this way: It was near th' edge of th' bush where th' bear first jumped me, an' just as we hit th' open ground one o' them warm Chinook winds sprung up behind us, travellin' east. . . . "Man!" He paused impressively. "The way that wind started in to melt th' snow was a corker just like lard in a fryin'-pan.
A young man travellin' can't be too sociable or treat too often. Well, good-night; you're lucky to strike that bed; you don't lay every night under a kiver and onto a tick slep between by the son of the Duke of Orleans."
Instead of racin over the country like a young doctor, to show how busy a man is that has nothin to do, as Blue Nose does, and then take a "blowin time," we kept a rale travellin gate, an eight-mile-an-hour pace, the whole year round. THEY BUY MORE NOR THEY SELL, AND EAT MORE THAN THEY RAISE, in this country. What a pretty way that is, is'nt it?
"Aye, outside the Bay and in it, wherever there's need to go," said Doctor Joe. "'Twill be tryin' and hard work sometimes," suggested Thomas, "travellin' when the weather's nasty, but I'm not doubtin' the lads'll be able t' manage un." "We'll manage un!" David declared with pride in the confidence placed in him and Andy.
It is only a journey of eight hours from Milan to Venice, and Verona is about half way. And it is almost like travellin' through a mulberry grove. The valley of Lombardy is a silk-producing country and the diet of silkworms is mulberry leaves and the trees also serve as handsome props to the grape vines that hang from tree to tree.
To Andrew, looking at it all, came the feeling of a traveller who passes all scenes whether of joy or woe, being himself in his passing the one thing which remains, and somehow he got from it an enormous comfort. "We're all travellin' along," he said aloud, in a strained, solemn voice. "What did you say, Andrew?" Fanny called from the open window. "Nothin'," replied Andrew.
Captain, you're a true blue; come, have another glass of wine on the strength of it." "No wine, thank 'ee," said the Captain, placing his hand over his glass, "I've had my beer; and I make it a rule never to mix my liquor. Excuse me, ma'am," he continued, addressing his hostess, "your son made mention of a tooter a travellin' tooter; may I ask if you've provided yourself with one yet!"
They keep it up at 'Fairchance, the home that Mr. MacIntyre founded for little waifs and strays. I s'pose that is what Malcolm meant by a travellin' show. I might have thought of that, for they are always makin' it show off its tricks." Eliot had found her voice by this time, and was sitting limply back in her chair with her hand over her heart.
I had been waiting near half an hour when D'ri came back slowly, with a downhearted look. "'Tain' no use," said he. "Can't never git thet bear. He's got a flesh-wound high up in his hin' quarters, an' he's travellin' fast." He took a fresh chew of tobacco and mounted his horse. "Terrible pity!" he exclaimed, shaking his head with some trace of lingering sorrow.
Ye'll mind I took the precaution of measurin' ye in Glasgow, so the things'll fit. Ye've got a new name, Mr Brand, and I've taken a room for ye in the hotel on the strength of it. Ye're Archibald McCaskie, and ye're travellin' for the firm o' Todd, Sons & Brothers, of Edinburgh. Ye ken the folk?
