"The boys shall bring it up for me immediately after dinner," she said. "I sha'n't be going out again until I go to Mrs. Weldon's. I expect people will open their eyes when they see me to-night." "You must please yourself, of course," said Alice. "For my part, I am extremely sorry that the trunk has come. You were settling down a little, and were not quite so objectionable as at first."
And then, as it had chanced, she had been away from home, when Weldon had finally left the house. It had been the fulfilment of an old promise which had taken her to spend two days with a friend in Newlands. She had had no notion that the time for Weldon's going away was at hand. Neither, on the other hand, had Weldon any idea that Ethel was absent from home.
Carew knows her much better than I do, though, and Miss Mellen would be hurt, if he didn't go out to see her." But Kruger Bobs stood his ground. "Boss Weldon go see his vrouw; Kruger Bobs go see his vrouw; Boss Carew no vrouw." However, in spite of the advice of Kruger Bobs, Carew was at Weldon's side, as they rode through Winburg, the next morning.
And you know you are in a hurry to get away." "Don't be too sure of that," Carew advised him. "All my good things aren't at one end of the world." Weldon's lips curled into the ghost of his old smile. "Then take one of them along with you," he suggested. Elbows on knees and chin on fists joined knuckle to knuckle, Carew turned and smiled blandly down at the face on the pillow.
"So are we all, in certain directions. Moreover, most women like their heroes to have a little personality. One can't make one's admiration stick to a blank wall of impersonal perfection." Weldon's mind moved swiftly backwards to two blue, black-fringed eyes glowing out from a dust-streaked face. "No," he assented; "but neither can one ever really be chums with his hero.
Next time you go to call on Miss Arthur, start early and be sure you have your pass pinned to the lining of your coat." "Who is Miss Arthur?" demanded the chorus. Deliberately Carew helped himself to the last of the bacon. Then he made answer, with equal deliberation, "Miss Arthur is Weldon's lawful chaperon."
WELDON'S Court of King James and Charles. About this time the ancient customs arising from the long prevalence of chivalry, began to be grossly varied from the original purposes of the institution. None was more remarkable than the change which took place in the breeding and occupation of pages.
The despatches were slipped between the layers of his shoe-sole, the cut stitches were replaced, and Weldon rose to his feet. "My nigger has come from Naauwpoort, bringing me a fresh mount," he said then. "May I take him with me?" "What is he?" "A Kaffir." "From where?" "Piquetberg Road." "Can you trust him?" Weldon's eyes met the eyes of the General steadily.
It was not his will to be ungrateful; it was beyond his present power to show the gratitude which he really felt. And Carew, with the supreme insight which marks the friendship of men at times, interpreted Weldon's mood aright and forebode to take offence. Nevertheless, watching his friend closely, Carew had judged the case to be serious.
It is a bad case of enteric, mixed with some trouble with the brain. He appears to be suffering from nervous shock, they say, increased by a long strain of anxiety." Half an hour later, he was called from Weldon's room to speak to his wife at the telephone. "Yes," he answered her. "It is as bad as I heard, as bad as it can be. You think so? Are you strong enough? Sure?
