When a wrecking train is held for orders, it is safe to assume that something has happened. Down the line there was a similar occurrence. The Truesdale repair crew was caught at Sawyerville and ordered back. But before the astonished conductor had read the message through, another came ordering him on, subject no longer to the Superintendent's orders, but to those of Colonel Wray, 3d N.G.
The British party consisted of 75 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marines, under Captains Strouts, Halliday, and Wray. There were also present of other nations American, 3 officers and 52 men; Austrians, 5 officers and 30 men; French, 2 officers and 45 men; German, 1 officer and 51 men; Italian, 1 officer and 28 men; Japanese, 1 officer and 24 men; Russian, 2 officers and 79 men.
A butterfly was fluttering within; in a corner, a bee busied himself buzzing loudly between flowers and sips of saccharine sweetness. Jocelyn Wray stepped in its direction, stooped. The sunlight touched the white neck, where spirals of gold nestled, and fell over her gown in soft, shifting waves. "You see?"
Then suddenly he added, "But it's not true! I'm certain of it! He couldn't do it! I'll never believe it of him!" Poor Wraysford! It was easier to say the generous words than feel them. Pembury looked in presently with a face far more serious and overcast than he usually wore. "I say, Wray," said he, in troubled tones, "I'm regularly floored by all this. Do you believe it?"
"And you knew nothing of the death of Percival Coolidge, except what was told you by that woman?" "She brought me a newspaper which I read; that was all I knew." "And in that house on Wray Street where I met you again last night. I suppose you were not there either?" "Wray Street? I do not know; I was at some place with a saloon on the ground floor. I could not tell you where it was."
"Loman, Sixth Form " and here the Doctor paused, and knitted his brows. "Loman, Sixth Form, 70 marks!" This finally brought down the house. Scarcely was the Doctor's back turned, when a general clamour rose on every hand. He, good man, set it down to applause of the winners, but every one else knew it meant triumph over the vanquished. "Bravo, Wray! old man.
"Jerry," said a young English lad named Wray, to the elder Rodman, "do you hear that? One of the boats must have got 'fast' and killed. We'll be out of this in another half-hour, cutting-in. The captain won't let us lie here when there is work to be done on deck; he's too mean a Yankee to satisfy his revenge at the expense of his pocket."
As she did so, she started, straightened suddenly; then her expression changed; the voice of Lord Ronsdale without was followed by that of Jocelyn Wray. "Never fear! They'll get the fellow yet," my lord had said. Jocelyn answered mechanically; the door opened; the maid caught a glimpse of Ronsdale's face, of the cold eyes that looked the least bit annoyed.
"What do you think, Sophia?" said Louisa when she came in she did not wait to take off her hat before she began "the Jamesons are going to leave the Liscoms, and they have rented the old Wray place, and are going to run the farm and raise vegetables and eggs. Mr. Jameson is coming on Saturday night, and they are going to move in next Monday."
"Why, what a bloodthirsty chap you are, Wray! You are longing for me to quarrel with Loman. I'll wait till young Stephen asks me to." "Do you think he will? He's a proud little chap." Oliver laughed. "It'll serve him right if he does get a lesson. Did ever you see such a lot of young cannibals as those youngsters? Are you coming to have supper with me?"
