The great cypress and juniper timber is penetrated by this canal, and schooners are towed into the swamp to landings where their cargoes are delivered. In the interior of the Dismal Swamp is Drummond's Lake, named after its discoverer. It is seven miles long by five miles wide, and is the feeder of the canal.
They had plenty to talk about. The General found it necessary to apologise to Nelly for "talking shop," an apology which was tendered in a whimsical spirit and received in the same. Pat, waiting at table, quite forgot that he was Sir Denis Drummond's manservant, listening to the stirring tale; and was once again Corporal Murphy, back in "th' ould rig'mint."
Then Drummond's useful at half." "Jolly useful," said Trevor. "I thought he would be. I recommended you last year to keep your eye on him." "Decent chap, Drummond," said Clowes. "About the only one there is left in the place," observed Allardyce gloomily. "Our genial host," said Clowes, sawing at the cake, "appears to have that tired feeling. He seems to have lost that joie de vivre of his, what?"
In one corner of the room stood a case containing books enough to supply us with reading matter for a year, those printed in Swedish being, of course, of no use to me, but a variety of subjects were here presented in English, ranging from Drummond's "Natural Law in the Spiritual World" to nursery rhymes for the children.
Directly you had left the room, after your telling us that Lindsay was with Prince Henry and most likely at Erfurt, she said: "'I should think, father, that there would be time to fetch Major Drummond's servant and horse. It is not so very far, and surely it might be done in a week. "'Well thought of! I said. 'It is a hundred and seventy miles.
And then, my Uncle Drummond's words come back upon me. But how do you trust Christ? What have you to do? If people would make things plain! Well, it looks as if I should have plenty of time for learning. For it seems pretty certain, whatever else is doubtful, that I am a fixture at Abbotscliff.
"You're far too seriously hurt, far too weak, to attempt such a thing. Please lie down again. Surely Mr. Wing will do all that any man could do to recover the safe. All the others are in pursuit. They must have overtaken them by this time. Come; I am doctor now that he is away. Obey me and lie still." Drummond's one available hand found itself clasped by warm, slender fingers.
"This girl," she said, speaking rapidly, "is afflicted with a nervous physical disorder, a mania, which is uncontrollable, and takes this outlet. It is emotional insanity not loss of control of the will, but perversion of the will." "Humph!" was Drummond's sole comment with a significant glance at the pile of goods on the table.
Then he swung forward and the end of a pick-handle missed Drummond by an inch. Another cutter shot from Drummond's hand and struck Driscoll's side. He stooped, and Thirlwell thought he was falling but saw that he had bent down to pick up his ax. Next moment the blade flashed in a long sweep and Drummond sprang behind the anvil, which occupied the middle of the floor.
Drummond's voice pursued them along the verandah. "Help! Robbers! Head them off!" The boys took the stone steps in two bounds, crashed at the bottom into a hedge, went tearing through and emerged beyond in a service yard, dimly lighted by one struggling electric bulb over a back doorway.
