He at once woke the sleepers and called the others in, and by the time they reached the farm some thirty unmounted ponies, followed by Carmichael's party and the farmers, came up. "We have been longer than we expected," one of the latter said as he dismounted, "but we were lucky at last in finding this lot together in a kloof. Have you seen anything of the Boers? We thought we heard a few shots."
We could then see that the range ended, but sent out one more creek, which meandered down the valley towards some other hills beyond; this valley was of a clayey soil, and the creek had some clay holes with water in them. Following it three miles farther, we found that it emptied itself into a much larger stony mountain stream; I named this Trickett's Creek, after a friend of Mr. Carmichael's.
"The Colonel's killed. Bruce is killed. Otway's killed " "Otway...." "Cottar's killed. Bullen's killed " Endless! The names struck Sabre like successive blows. Were they never going to end? "Carmichael's killed. My young brother's " his voice cracked "killed. Sikes is killed." "Sikes killed.... And your brother...."
Parker and there came a note into his voice by which Hal knew that he had found the excuse he sought "Well, it's Carmichael's business, and I have no right to butt in on it. If he comes to me and asks for indictments, I'll act but not otherwise. That's all I have to say about it." And Hal rose. "Very well, Mr. Parker," said he. "I have put the facts before you.
Then Helen told how she had only that day realized the extent of Carmichael's advice and help and labor how, indeed, he had been a brother to her how But at this juncture Bo buried her face in Helen's breast and began to cry wildly. "I I don't want to hear any more," she sobbed. "Well, you've got to hear it," replied Helen, inexorably "I want you to know how he's stood by me." "But I hate him."
It was not in Dreiberg that he had seen him before. But where? Gretchen arrived with the tankard which she sat down at Carmichael's elbow. "Will you not join me, Herr?" he invited. "Thank you," said the vintner, without hesitation. He smiled at Gretchen and she smiled at him. Carmichael smiled at them both tolerantly. "What will you be drinking?" "Brown," said the vintner.
Accordingly, while Gazen, in obedience to her directions began to work Carmichael's arms up and down, after the method of artificial respiration which had brought me round at the outset of our journey, she and I administered oxygen gas from one of our steel bottles to his lungs by means of a makeshift funnel applied to his mouth.
He passed out through the shattered doorway, but she stood where he had left her, motionless, almost unconscious. It was thus Nicholson and the Colonel found her when, a moment later, they entered the room by the verandah. Colonel Carmichael's passionate reproaches died away as he saw her face. "You must not stop here," he said. "You have frightened us all terribly.
It is not my habit to lay wagers; but I was anxious to be gone. "All right," I responded with a laugh, as I went away. "Good-night!" On arriving at Mr. Carmichael's cottage I found the rest of the party waiting for me. No time was lost in proceeding to the garden, where the car stood ready to mount into the air.
Directly below this window and running parallel with it was the Biergarten of the Black Eagle. It is a quiet tonic to the mind to look off, to gaze at sunlit, cloud-embraced mountain peaks, Walter Pater to the contrary. Carmichael's mind that morning needed quiet, and so he came to this window; and with a smoldering pipe let himself to dreams.
