The camp was selected on the top of a hill, fully visible from Weymouth Bay, and Mr. Carron put in charge of it. On the 13th, Kennedy started with the best seven of the horses leaving the eight men in camp to await his return, or the relief boat. The only account ever received of his journey came from the lips of the black boy Jacky-Jacky, the sole survivor.
On arriving at Huntingtower he was told of the treachery of March, also of his fate, and that the regent had beaten the enemy on the banks of the Carron, and was pursuing him into his own dominions.
Tommy's frame of mind was too dignified to permit of his staring, but he was obviously surprised at Carron's presence, and when the man had gone he said with considerable importance: "Since when has Carron been calling on you?" "This is the first time. Oh, Tommy should you have come?"
"I didn't hire him," he answered, "and I couldn't discharge him if I wanted in fact, any suggestion of that kind on my part, would lead to his employment for life. Why?" "Because," said Carron, "he impresses me as being rather young and flighty, and some day your uncle is going to die suddenly. He may last five years; he may snuff out to-morrow. It's his heart." His lips twisted pityingly.
Remembering, also, the impressive sight of the picturesque fire-lit halls, and the terrible-looking, cumbrous machinery which I first beheld on a grand scale at Carron, I have often regretted that some of our artists do not follow up the example set them by that admirable painter, Wright of Derby, and treat us to the pictures of some of our great ironworks.
If these cannot be immersed, as in the case of the face, cover them with an air-tight covering, and apply iced or cold cloths above this. The linseed oil and lime-water known as "Carron Oil" forms the best dressing to apply. See also Wounds. Buttermilk. Where we prescribe this, either for drinking or for external use in poultices or bathing, it is very important it should be pure and fresh.
"I have come on business, Brigit," he announced quietly. Carron rose. "Then I will go. Thanks very much, Brigit, for your hospitality and I will look in again in three or four weeks, if you don't mind."
"Tommy is coming on wonderfully with his violin, isn't he?" pursued Carron. "Yes." "Does he come here often?" She looked up, frowning. "You know perfectly well that he has never been here," she returned shortly. "Do you like your tea strong?" "Yes, please, no milk. Well you must miss him." "And you know perfectly well that I see him twice a week at Joyselle's."
Seeing Carron could not get along, I told him to put his hands on my shoulders, and in this way he managed to walk down, as far as nearly through the mangrove swamp, towards the water's edge, when he could not in that way possibly get any further, and Barrett, with his disabled arm, carried him down to the edge of the water.
She went to the window and stood looking out into the quiet street until the man had returned and she heard Carron set down the empty glass. Then, without looking at him, she came back. Her shallow soul was dismayed. "Dinner at 8.30?" he asked after a pause. "Yuss. Good-bye till then, for I must fly and make some calls." "Good-bye, Tony. You are sure that boy isn't coming?
