Meantime, another foster was telegraphed for, and, an hour after this new-comer's arrival, one of Tara's pups died. The Master had no time to be greatly concerned about this, by reason of his anxiety regarding Tara herself.
'Don't interfere with Reggie's prospects, Dean. 'Has he got any? said the Dean, maliciously. 'My dear Mrs. Wellesdon, you are a "sight for sair een." And he pressed the new-comer's hand between both his own, surveying her the while with a fatherly affection and admiration. Lucy looked up, a curious envy at her heart.
Then he stared long and appraisingly at the young Englishman, who thought he detected the ghost of a smile hovering about the new-comer's mouth as he again glanced at the forms of the two assistants. Turning to the Governor, the navy-man sharply addressed what seemed to be a series of questions to him. The Governor replied, making what Frobisher guessed to be a long and elaborate explanation.
She did not seem to notice their entrance; but when the new-comer's voice, in some casual remark, reached her ear, she rose up suddenly, and walking straight forward to where the two stood, looking out at the window, she placed her hand heavily, and even rudely, upon his shoulder. He turned at the touch, and beholding her, started back, with not only astonishment, but fear.
There were the conductor's criticising eyes glaring at her; the unsympathizing glances of some of her stage companions though many of them had come to her with words of kindly encouragement; there was the silent, untenanted expanse of the theatre before her none of the excitement of stage scenery, or the brilliancy of light and tinsel; and she must force herself to think of her part, as a technical study of music, all the time she felt she was undergoing a severe criticism from Mademoiselle 's friends, who were comparing the new-comer's voice with that of their own ally.
"Why, Cyrus Garst!" exclaimed the latter, peering into the new-comer's face. "How goes it, man? I never expected to see you here. Surely you haven't come to grief in the woods? You look scared to death!" Cyrus for it was he grasped the welcoming hand which the owner of this camp extended to him. But his dark eyes did not linger a moment meeting the other's.
"How art thou?" says the new-comer, gazing with affection at his old comrade. "Well, thank God," replies the other. "Thank God." "And how art thou?" "Well, thank God." "Thank God." Now it is the new-comer's turn for the Montenegrin catechism. The questions already asked and answered are only the prelude, so to speak, before they settle down to serious business. "Kako ste?"
Well, our Vicar's wife has a brother who's a big man in that profession, and she was a bit curious to know about the new-comer's relation to it. She persisted in calling on Mrs. Saumarez though her calls weren't returned she could make excuses, you see, about parish matters and charities and what not. And one day she asked Mrs. Saumarez point-blank what ship her late husband had last served on?
They found the girl already on her feet, standing there a bit unsteadily, but with determination to be game, in every feature. Five minutes later she was in the new-comer's car, which had been turned around and now was headed back toward Haverstraw. The shawl and robe serving her as wraps, she was made comfortable in the tonneau.
But at that moment the object of Dan's alarm reached one of the doors of the entrance of Bancroft Hall and stepped briskly inside. This new-comer's glance fell upon the knot of midshipmen, and he glanced at them inquiringly, as though to see whether these young men intended to salute him.
