"He sure must have gone clean daft!" "This Hooliam," Garth continued, "is too anxious, judging by others of his kind, to get us on board. I suspect Nick Grylls has a share in this outfit. On the other hand we have less than a week's grub left. What have you got, Charley?" "Nothing but sow-bosom and beans," said the boy disconsolately; "and damn little of that! It isn't good enough for her!"
As to the boy, Garth and Natalie felt not a moment's uneasiness; Charley met Nick's advances with a kind of imitative bluster, that was a source of great secret delight to Natalie. The day's journey was uneventful. Grylls kept himself forward of the mast, and made no attempt to address either Garth or Natalie.
Mary Co-que-wasa, her go down and watch your house all the time, for good chance to tak' her. When you go out she mak' little fire under the bank for signal; and Nick Grylls and 'Erbe't and Xavier, them all go down. They not tak' me." Garth cursed himself to think how he had played directly into their hands. "I wait, and bam-by they bring her back," continued Rina in her toneless voice.
Nick Grylls big man, rich man, everybody lak to be friend with him. Nick Grylls say him come to help 'Erbe't. Him give 'Erbe't ver' fine gun." "Humph! Mabyn will pay dear for it!" Garth exclaimed. "I say so him," Rina said eagerly. "Me, I tell 'Erbe't everybody see Nick Grylls him jus' mak' a fool of you. What he want with you? He want her for himself. 'Erbe't on'y laugh.
In the past he had been compelled to conciliate, to flatter, to mould such men as Grylls for the advantage of the Leader; and he could certainly do it once more for the sake of Natalie. Nick faced him with a venomous eye, but was unable to make an opening for more trouble.
"Nick Grylls has come. He arrived in a canoe with a breed; and sent him back. Nick and Hooliam went outside the camp, and talked by themselves. I listened from behind a willow bush. Nick Grylls knows a lot more Cree than I do, and I couldn't understand everything; but I got the gist of it.
Yet he possessed two dear living friends at least in my Uncle Gervase and Mr. Grylls, and had even dedicated a temple to their friendship. It stood about half a mile away from the house, at the foot of the old deer-park: a small Ionic summer-house set on a turfed slope facing down a dell upon the Helford River.
"Just sold it last week; three hundred acres at three hundred dollars an acre. They're layin' it out in town lots." "Good God, man!" cried Grylls. "You could buy me out and have a pile over!" Every time he spoke, he glanced over his shoulder at Natalie. Old Paul smiled up at him admiringly. "But this is only a sort of accident," he said. "You made yours."
He glad I die!" Garth's desperate need brought craft to his aid. "Very well," he said coolly. "I shoot him on sight! Mabyn goes first!" Rina, touched home, raised an agitated face. "No! No!" she said tremblingly. "Grylls, him took her not 'Erbe't!" "No matter!" he said, feigning to leave her. "Mabyn dies like a dog unless you come with me." Rina struggled to her knees, and clutched at him.
Swithun and his brotherhood That here would meet and punctual on his day Their heads and hands and hearts together lay. Nor may no years the mem'ries three untwine Of Grylls W.G. And Arundell G.A. And Constantine J.C. Anno 1752 Flvmina amem silvasqve inglorivs." Of these two friends of my father I shall speak in their proper place, but have given up this first chapter to him alone.
