Rowe could most conscientiously declare that there was not the least resemblance between them. The Whyte features were of a type which none would envy the possessor, save as the stamp of the illustrious house of Battersea. The House of Savoy is not attractive by reason of its faultless profile; but there are persons of almost matchless grace who would exchange their beauty for its blood.
"O my darling Charley, you are disposed to jest about it; but I cannot tell you how my heart trembled this morning when I heard from Tom Whyte of what had happened.
"Did he make any remark to you?" "No; except he'd been worried by a loonatic." "And what was the stranger's name?" "That I can't tell you, as Mr. Whyte never told me. He was very tall, with a fair moustache, an' dressed as I told you." Mr. Gorby was satisfied. "That is the man," he said to himself, "who got into the hansom cab, and murdered Whyte; there's no doubt of it!
The perusal of books by Ainsworth, Scott, Lever, Marryat, James Grant, G. P. R. James, Dumas, and Whyte Melville gave me additional material for storytelling; and so, concocting wonderful blends of all sorts of fiction, I spun many a yarn to my schoolfellows in the dormitory in which I slept yarns which were sometimes supplied in instalments, being kept up for a week or longer.
The name of the chemist being on the label, I went to him and found out who bought it. Now, who do you think?" with a look of triumph. "Frettlby," said Calton, decidedly. "No, Moreland," burst out Chinston, greatly excited. "Neither," retorted the detective, calmly. "The man who purchased this was Oliver Whyte himself."
"That is the rope that's going to hang you," said Kilsip, quietly, coming behind him, "for the murder of Oliver Whyte." "Trapped by G !" shouted the wretched man, wheeling round, so as to face Kilsip.
In a few minutes he returned, followed by the groom Tom Whyte. "Tom," said the senior clerk, "do you think we could manage to mount Charley to-morrow?" "Why, sir, I don't think as how we could. There ain't an 'oss in the stable except them wot's required and them wot's badly." "Couldn't he have the brown pony?" suggested the senior clerk.
Upon our arrival it was found necessary to open an Engineer depot. Capt. William Knight, Battalion Adjutant, was put in charge. Lieut. R. C. Johnson, Company "C," was detached from his company and assigned to duty as Regimental Adjutant, Topographical Officer and Personnel Adjutant. Lieut. M. K. Whyte, Company "B," was assigned as Supply and Transportation Officer.
Charles Kennedy spent part of the previous year at Rocky Mountain House, where he had shown so much energy in conducting the trade, especially what he called the "rough and tumble" part of it, that he was selected as the clerk to accompany Mr Whyte to his new ground.
Numerous guns, axes, and canoe-paddles hung round the walls or were piled in corners, and the rafters sustained a miscellaneous mass of materials, the more conspicuous among which were snow-shoes, dog-sledges, axe- handles, and nets. Having filled and lighted his pipe, Tom Whyte thrust his hands into his deerskin mittens, and sauntered off to perform his errand.
