I led from the press-room to the stifling office with the maps on the walls, and the red-haired man rubbed his hands. Thats something like, said he. This was the proper shop to come to. Now, Sir, let me introduce to you Brother Peachey Carnehan, thats him, and Brother Daniel Dravot, that is me, and the less said about our professions the better, for we have been most things in our time.
The old horse, having reached the hilltop, disappeared behind the next house, and ten minutes later Mrs. Peachey escorted the smallest of his boxes into his bedroom. "Your cousin is downstairs, but I didn't know whether you wanted me to bring her up here or not?" she said. "Of course you do, don't you, Oliver?" asked Susan's voice, and entering the room, she coolly presented her cheek to him.
"Up to Jagdallak, Peachey and me know the road. We was there with Roberts's Army. We'll have to turn off to the right at Jagdallak through Laghmann territory. Then we get among the hills fourteen thousand feet fifteen thousand it will be cold work there, but it don't look very far on the map." I handed him Wood on the Sources of the Oxus. Carnehan was deep in the Encyclopaedia.
Would two lunatics make a Contrack like that! said Carnehan, with subdued pride, showing me a greasy half-sheet of note-paper on which was written the following. I copied it, then and there, as a curiosity: This Contract between me and you persuing witnesseth in the name of God Amen and so forth. Signed by you and me this day. Peachey Taliaferro Carnehan. Daniel Dravot. Both Gentlemen at Large.
The claim is filed O. K. elsewhere, and at present, as you're prospectin' on the hither side o' my line, I'll put one straight question to you: Did, or did not, Little Peachey ask you for protection?" "Why, no," retorted Hemsley, a trifle confused, "she didn't not in so many words." He turned to the girl. "Who is this man? Tell me everything; you needn't be afraid, Miss Crane."
'You're a King too, and the half of this Kingdom is yours; but can't you see, Peachey, we want cleverer men than us now three or four of 'em, that we can scatter about for our Deputies.
You needn't worry, Cousin Priscilla." He smiled at her across the unfinished page of his play, and this smile won her as it had won Mrs. Peachey. Like most spinsters she had remained a creature of sentiment, and the appeal of the young and masculine she found difficult to resist. After all he was a charming boy, her heart told her.
"Up to Jagdallak, Peachey and me know the road. We was there with Roberts's Army. We'll have to turn off to the right at Jagdallak through Laghmann territory. Then we get among the hills fourteen thousand feet fifteen thousand it will be cold work there, but it don't look very far on the map." I handed him Wood on the Sources of the Oxus. Carnehan was deep in the Encyclopædia.
"W-what's He done for me?" demanded not Tom, but the whiskey inside of him. Driven against that bleak rock of fact upon which so many shining generalizations have come to wreck, Mrs. Peachey had cast about helplessly for some floating spar of logic which might bear her to the firm ground of established optimism.
We're more than safe now. Then he bangs the butt of his gun for a gavel and says: 'By virtue of the authority vested in me by my own right hand and the help of Peachey, I declare myself Grand-Master of all Freemasonry in Kafiristan in this the Mother Lodge o' the country, and King of Kafiristan equally with Peachey! At that he puts on his crown and I puts on mine I was doing Senior Warden and we opens the Lodge in most ample form.
