The man who had brought the horse up grinned broadly as he watched Wisbech jolt across the clearing. "I guess that man's not going to make the settlement on that horse. He rides 'most like a bag of flour," he remarked, with evident enjoyment of the stranger's poor horsemanship.
"Well," asked Wisbech very dryly, "isn't the Hecla Minerals good enough for you?" Nasmyth looked at Acton. "I must go there now?" "That is one of the conditions. They want to fix the thing before Kekewich, who hasn't been well lately, starts East on a trip to Montreal. I promised to wire if you were willing to go down and see them to-morrow." Nasmyth turned to Wisbech, and his voice was strained.
In the meanwhile you might like to walk along to where we're getting the logs out." Wisbech went with him and Gordon, and was impressed when he saw how they and the oxen handled the giant trunks.
He answered me in plain English, that he understood me, and was himself born in Wisbech, in Lincolnshire.
They had, however, evidently received instructions respecting him, for he was without question at once ushered into the room in which the Earl of Wisbech and his daughters were sitting. The Earl shook him warmly by the hand, and then, turning to his daughters, said, "This is the gentleman to whom you owe your lives, girls.
You know all my weak points, and I could not complain if you would not listen to me. But I have come back to you again." "Ah!" answered Laura very softly, "after all, it was fortunate that you went away. I think it was a relief to me when Wisbech took you to the city." Nasmyth looked at her in surprise, and she smiled at him.
It's a trip a good many English people make since the C.P.R. put their new Empress steamers on, and I merely stopped over at Victoria, thinking I would see Derrick. He is, as perhaps I mentioned, a nephew of mine." There was a certain frankness and something whimsical in his manner which pleased the girl. "You have walked from the settlement?" she asked. "I have," answered Wisbech.
Louis was forced to raise the siege of Dover, and John's prospects improved; he took Lincoln, and marched to Lynn, whence he wont to Wisbech, intending to proceed by the Wash from Cross-keys to Foss-dyke, across the sands a safe passage at low water, but covered suddenly by the tide, which there forms a considerable eddy on meeting the current of the Welland.
"Well, I guess I partly expected this," said Acton. "Mr. Nasmyth, it's a sure thing that river's not going to break you." Nasmyth looked embarrassed, but next moment Wisbech laid a hand upon his shoulder. "Derrick," he said simply, "if you had closed with my offer, I wouldn't have blamed you, but I'd have felt I had done my duty then, and I'd never have made you another.
He turned to Wisbech. "Now if you will listen, I will tell you something." For the next few minutes he described his project for running the water out of the valley, and when he sat silent again there was satisfaction in Wisbech's face. "Well," said Wisbech, "I am going to give you your opportunity.
