I am sure he will love to go. That will make five, you know, and they have two bags. Oh, lovely; you are awfully good. We shall need to start about fifteen o'clock. Good-bye. Oh, how is Mr. Romayne? Oh, I am so sorry, it is too bad. But, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, you know Dr. Brown is a splendid doctor, the best in Winnipeg, one of the best in Canada. He will tell you exactly what to do.
He also agreed that it was important to the success of the scheme both that Mr. Gwynne should be the president of the company and that young Switzer should be its secretary. Mr. Gwynne's earnest request that he should become the treasurer of the company Mr. Waring-Gaunt felt constrained in the meantime to decline. He already had too many irons in the fire.
At the dump they found Joe and Sam rolling the logs, which during the winter had been piled high upon the bank, down the steep declivity or "dump" into the stream below. Mrs. Waring-Gaunt and Nora were seated on a log beside them engaged in talk. "May I inquire if you are bossing the job as usual?" said Mr. Romayne, after he had watched the operation for a few moments.
"But look at this world about you," continued her father, "and look, do look at the moon coming up behind you away at the prairie rim." They all turned about except Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, whose eyes were glued to the two black ruts before her cutting through the grass. "Oh, wonderful, wonderful," breathed Dr. Brown. "Would it be possible to pause, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, at the top of this rise?"
"I hope, my dear Jane, you have enjoyed your stay with us here at Wolf Willow," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt as Jane was saying good-bye. "I have been very happy," said Jane. "Never in my life have I had such a happy time." "Now it is good of you to say that," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "You have made us all love you." "Quite true," said her husband.
Nora rushed to the door, saying, "That's Mrs. Waring-Gaunt." But she returned hastily with heightened colour. "Larry," she said, "it's that Mr. Wakeham." "Wakeham," cried Larry. "What's got him up so early, I wonder?" with a swift look at Jane. "I wonder," said Nora, giving Jane a little dig.
"And what about me, Jane?" again said Larry. "You are going with the others," said Jane calmly, "and in the afternoon we are to have our ride." "And this is Jane," said Jack Romayne as Mrs. Waring-Gaunt ushered the girl into his room. "If half of what I have heard is true then I am a lucky man to-day. Kathleen has been telling me about you." Jane's smile expressed her delight.
She is a splendid girl and they were so kind; their house was like a home to me. I am sure it is very kind of you to offer to meet them. I beg your pardon? Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. We thought he was doing so well. What brought that on? Blood-poisoning! Oh, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt, you don't say so? How terrible! Isn't it good that Dr. Brown is coming? He will know exactly what is wrong.
"Ah, the French twist " "Or simply marcelled and pomped?" "I am afraid " "Or perhaps the pancake or the coronet?" "Well," said the young man, desperately plunging, "the coronet I should say would certainly not be inappropriate. It goes with princesses, duchesses and that sort of thing. Don't you think so, Mrs. Waring-Gaunt?" said Duckworth, hoping to be extricated.
"Oh, we intended to come in on our way back." "Let's move on," said Romayne to his sister. "We must be going, Kathleen dear," said Mrs. Waring-Gaunt. "You will soon be coming to see us?" "Yes, indeed, you may be sure. It is so good to see you," replied the girl warmly, as Mrs. Waring-Gaunt kissed her good-bye. "Good-bye, Mr. Romayne; we must finish our discussion another time."
