"In the first place, though I know it isn't necessary with you, I want to thank you. I made Dane tell me, and you have done all I wished splendidly." Winston laughed. "Well, you see, it naturally came easy to me." Maud Barrington noticed the trace of grimness in his voice. "Please try to overlook our unkindness," she said. "Is it really needful to keep reminding me?
Barrington sat at the head of the longest table, with his niece and sister, Dane and his oldest followers about him, and Winston at its foot, dressed very simply after the usual fashion of the prairie farmers. There were few in the company who had not noticed this, though they did not as yet understand its purport.
Winston smiled wryly. "It is the present that is difficult," he said. "Can a man be pardoned and retain the offense?" He saw the faint bewilderment in the girl's face give place to the resentment of frankness unreturned and with a little shake of his shoulders shrank into himself. Maud Barrington, who understood it, once more put on the becoming reticence of Silverdale.
But perhaps of greater importance for this discussion, it is also used in making electroencephalograms." Rick and Scotty spoke in unison. "What?" Winston turned to them. "It's a long word, but not a difficult one. Electro for electrical. Encephalo is simply a Greek form meaning 'the brain. Gram, also from the Greek, means something drawn or written. A record, if you like.
Unsuspicious, with all his astuteness, of her sacrilegious doubts, Winston proceeded: "In the event of your marriage, you would desire, no doubt, that Mrs. Sutton should take up her abode with you? You would find her useful in many ways, and she would get on amicably with her husband's godson." "I do not think she expects to go with me," answered Mabel, staggered by his coolly confident air.
You was down ther mine, jist then, so that's the whole o' it up ter date." "Where are they now?" "In the cabin yonder, sleepin' I reckon." Winston turned hastily toward Brown, his lips quivering, his eyes grown stern. "Who was it with Mercedes?" he questioned sharply. "Did you learn her name?" "Sh-she told me d-d-down at San Juan," replied Stutter, striving hard to recollect.
Winston the light, Ben followed him into his room and busied himself in doing little nothings about the stove and wash-stand. "Let me unbutton your straps, sir," said he, stooping down and commencing on the buttons, which he was rather long in unclosing. "I know, sir, dat you Southern gentlemen ain't used to doing dese yer things for youself.
"Am I?" said Kitty, who had thrown herself into the corner of a sofa, and sat curled up there in an attitude which the Dean thought charming, though it would not, he was aware, "have become Mrs. Winston. "Well, you know best," said the Dean. "But, at any rate, be good and explain to me what is an Archangel." "Somebody whom most men and all women dislike," said Kitty, promptly.
"Then," said the white-haired lady, "next year I will do as much again, though it will be a little unnecessary, because you have my good wishes all the time. Still, you are too prosaic to fancy they can have anything to do with this." She pointed to the wheat, but, though Winston smiled again, there was a curious expression in his face as he glanced at her niece.
When he came back there was a twinkle of comprehension in his eyes, and Winston, who cut off the length of twine, smiled at Alfreton. "It is," he said dryly, "only a little idea of mine." They drove on, and reaching Winnipeg next day, went straight to Graham the wheat-broker's offices.
